How to Begin the Save the Refugees Quest
You can get this quest a number of ways with the main two being by talking to Zevlor and Kagha. If you speak to Zevlor right after reaching the grove, he’ll ask that you speak to Kagha on their behalf to buy them some more time before getting kicked out of the grove.
Save the Refugees Walkthrough
Speak with Kagha
Head for the Emerald Grove just past the Sacred Pool in the center of the area to reach Kagha. Talk with her to learn that she wants you to lead the tieflings to the city and that they have until the first prayer to be out.
Return to Zevlor
Before returning to Zevlor, talk with Rath nearby. He will say that Halsin is the only one who can persuade Kagha to stop the ritual.
Bring this information back to Zevlor in the Secluded Chamber past the Stone Door in the Hallow to let him know. He’ll say the only way his people can safely make it to the city is by dealing with the Goblin leaders.
Wyll will have some additional dialog if you bring him along.
End the conflict
Agree to help then set out for the Goblin Camp west of the Emerald Grove Environs fast travel point. It will be just past the Blighed Village. When you get there, approach the front gate to begin a conversation with the guards.
If you pass a skill check, they will let you inside the camp. If not, then you’ll have to take care of them. If you go that route, destroy the war drum on the right ledge to prevent them from alerting the rest of the camp to your presence.
You’ll then be able to walk through the gate and follow the right path to reach the camp.
Option 1 – “Good” Way
Your main objective is to head through the Heavy Oak Doors leading to the temple. There is an ogre guarding the door, but he won’t stop you.
Once you’re inside, you’ll have to pass a skill check with the guards there to pass without an incident. Otherwise, you’re going to be fighting a lot of goblins.
Now, you’re free to pick off the goblin leaders. They are listed below.
- True Soul Gut – You can have her go to her room and deal with her there.
- Minthara – You can fight her in the side area she’s in. Make sure to take care of the orb and drum first.
- Dror Ragzlin – Climb up into the rafters above his throne. Also, make sure to deal with both drums.
After all three are defeated, return to Zevlor in the Druids’ Grove to tell him the news. He’ll thank you and try to pay you. You can accept it or tell him to keep it. To complete the quest, you’ll need to attend the celebration at your camp.
Option 2 – “Bad” Way
There is another play here if you’re feeling a little naughty.
Once you get into the temple at the Goblin Camp, seek out Minthara. She will ask you to join her in killing those that don’t worship the Absolute, i.e. the druids.
If you’ve already been to the grove, then you can tell her where they are. Otherwise, you’ll have to persuade Liam to tell you. You can then free him or leave him there. Return to Minthara with the information she’s after.
Doing this will cause Karlach to leave your party for good. Minthara will then have you prepare for battle by resting at your camp. Head there and kick off a full rest. This will trigger a cutscene with Lae’zel. Persuade her not to kill you. You’ll also have a visitor in your dreams. (This may or may not happen depending on how many times you have rested already.)
When you wake, head to the grove for an event. Once inside, head up to Zevlor and speak with him.
If you tell him you’ve sided with Minthara, then the whole camp will attack you. Play it cool and make it sound like you’re on their side. Then, you can blow the horn and begin the attack.
You’ll have one last chance to pick a side. Open the gate to support Minthara and take out the tieflings. She’ll then give the command to kill everyone at the grove. Defeat the enemies in the order listed below:
- The Hollow
- Secluded Chamber
- The Sacred Pool
Once you’ve cleared the areas above, return to Minthara in the Secluded Chamber and speak with her. After the conversation, you’ll be sent back to your camp for a celebration, and the quest will be completed.
