The Forlorn Watchman Walkthrough
Speak with Gilgondorin
In the Silverhome on the Water Inn, speak with Gilgondorin to learn that the watchman appears at Bawnwatch Camp every night at 8.
Discover the Truth Behind the Local Legend
Travel to Brawnwatch Camp, which is southeast of Bravil on a small island, and wait until 8 pm. When the ghostly form appears, follow him until he stops on a hill just east of Fort Irony.
Approach him and he’ll speak with you!
Find the Mouth of the Panther
After speaking with you, the ghost will return to looking across the lake. Hop in the water and head to where the ghost was looking to find the Mouth of the Panther, which is a shipwreck at the start of the Panther River.
Once you’ve discovered the wreck, head inside the Broken Hull to Emma May Upper Deck. Inside, you’ll find Wraiths. Clear the infestation. Make your way down the trap door to Emma May Mid Deck. After clearing the Wraiths, take then next trap door down to Emma May Lower Deck. There you’ll find Gable the Traitor. Defeat this wraith then loot its Small Key.
Use this key to open the door the Wraith was guarding. Inside, you’ll find a shackled skeleton.
Activate it to release the skeleton. Grantham will then appear, thanking you for releasing him and telling you of a map. Behind the beam the skeleton was shackled to, loot Grantham Blakeley’s Map from the ground.
Find the Treasure
With the treasure map in hand, exit the ship and head upstream to find Black Dog Camp.
Once there, hop off the dock into the water and dive down to find a chest nestled against some rocks.
Loot it to get Grantham’s treasure! The Forlorn Watchman quest will then complete!
