Detailed Walkthrough

Inside Black Vine Ruins, near the entrance, you'll see Daine sitting on the ground, lamenting. He doesn't look well. Speak to him to start the quest and learn about his missing brother.

Are you sick?

"I've been sick most of my life. We came looking for a plant, one that grows by the light of an Ayleid well. They say its sap can heal any malady.

The bandits stopped us, but Dariel made a deal in exchange for passage. I haven't seen him since."

Inside the ruins, you'll find a number of personnel working for the Red Sun Bandits — the usual arrangement of melee fighters, archers, and the occasional mage. Some of these enemies are capable of summoning dire wolves to fight alongside them; as with any such summoning, killing the summoner kills the wolves. Deeper in the ruins, you'll also begin to encounter Stranglers.

Once you find Dariel, speak to him.

Daine sent me to find you.

"Daine's still breathing? Then I've still got a reason to go on.
I have to get that plant's sap before it's too late!"

Stay here. I'll get the plant sap for you.

"What? Why would you risk your neck for us?
I'm not in a position to argue. The plant should be near the Ayleid well. Be careful of the stranglers. They don't care whether their meat is dead or alive."

Alternatively, If you persuade Dariel to leave, you can simply escort him out without getting the sap to cure Daine. If you choose to get the medicinal sap, the Luminous Plant you seek is located directly next to the Blackvine Strangler, the boss for this delve. You will very likely have to kill it before you can safely collect the sap. Once you have the sap, speak to Dariel, then return to the ruins' entrance. When you approach Daine, talk to Dariel again to complete the quest.

Escorting Dariel

Whether or not you chose to get the sap, you'll end up escorting Dariel. He will begin to follow you, and you must bring him back to Daine. If you enter the Dark-Moons Chamber during the escort, your escort mission will fail and you'll have to go back to talk to Dariel again. Once you do successfully escort Dariel, he will stand next to his brother, and you will need to talk to Dariel to finish the quest.

Notes

• Dariel won't exist in the delve before starting the quest.

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
