How to Start the Midpoint to the Endpoint Companion Quest
To begin the Midpoint to the Endpoint companion quest in The Outer Worlds 2, you’ll first need to have recruited Marisol as a companion. After doing that, travel to Cloister and head for the cargo bay. She’ll be waiting for the commander there. Speak with Marisol, who will ask the commander to help her settle a personal matter with an old colleague.
Midpoint to the Endpoint Walkthrough
Meet Marisol’s Contact at Reason’s Reach
Travel to Cloister and then head for Reason’s Pass in the southwestern part of the area. When you arrive, a group of scrappers will attack. Defeat them all, then enter the nearby building. Go up to the second floor and speak with Former Seer Anais Bujold.
Pitchball Card: Liz Ackerman – In the room just before Seer Anais Bujold, you’ll find this pitchball card on the ground!
Enter Unorthodox Notion Reclusions at Winter’s Grasp
Set out for Winter’s Grasp, which can be found southeast of Reason’s Reach. When you arrive, the area will be sealed off, and Field Agent Auerbach will be guarding the entrance. Speak with him, and he should let you through (we worked for Auntie’s Choice), figuring you can at least disarm a trap or two with your bodies.
If you can’t get through the front gate, head left from Auerbach to find a path along the cliffside that will take you into Winter’s Grasp. Enter the main building in the back and approach Anais to trigger some dialogue.
Access the Burndown Initiation Controls
Head into the room, just past Anais, then climb up the crates and enter the vent. Follow the shaft and you’ll drop down on the other side of the barrier.
If you have Lockpick 4 and a Mag-Pick, unlock the door next to the barrier. Inside, you’ll find a recipe for the Defender Bulwark and Breath of Glory Silver.
From here, proceed to the southeast side of the room and access the outer balcony. Drop down at the broken section of the railing, then turn around to spot a vent.
Use it to reach a room with an electrified floor. You’ll want to jump to the terminal in the corner of the room and use it to disable the lower defenses.
Take the nearby stairs all the way up to Floor II: Detrimental Cognitive Enhancers, Prevaricated Hypotheses. There you’ll hear someone asking for help before some lasers. Speak with Auxiliar Dabbler Spoonhower through the intercom, who will ask the commander to help him get out.
Marisol will step in, asking if you really plan on saving this guy. You’ll then need to either convince her to save him, or you’ll have to walk away. To actually save him, you’ll need Lockpick 7 and 1 Mag-Pick.
Proceed past the two sets of lasers, then use the vent above the cabinet.
This will bring you to a room with a terminal that you can use to disable the Second Floor Defenses. Exit the room and take the stairs up to Floor III.
On the third floor, you’ll need to jump past another set of lasers with an electrically charged floor to access another vent. Follow it to wind up in the control room. Use the terminal by the window and ensure that you view all the files.
When you exit the terminal, an Auntie’s Choice representative will appear, declaring “parley!”. Field Agent Pham will then deduce that you’re here to burn anything marked “Cataclysmic Ends” and requests that you let her have the rest in exchange for some bits.
Marisol is immediately against this. You’ll then be presented with a couple of options:
- Rejecting the offer
- Incinerate material in the “Cataclysmic Ends” room, giving them the rest
- Give them “Timewasting Contrivances”, burning everything else
If you want to make everyone happy, go with the last option. Most of the Order stuff gets destroyed to please Marisol, and Auntie’s Choice gets to walk away with some stuff, too.
Following the conversation, when Marisol gives the okay, head over to the Burndown Initiation Settings and interact with them. You’ll then be given the same choices as before, but this time whatever you select will happen!.
Leave Winter’s Grasp
Head back down to the entrance and speak with Field Agent Pham to receive your bits along with some Auntie’s Choice rep. You’ll then have another conversation with Anais. You’ll receive Marisol’s Mod Kid, and the quest will be completed.
