Key takeawaysSpoilers

Keep the quest's camp-based progression in mind: the investigation and the conversation with Arabella are separate stages.

  • Act 1 progress matters Arabella must have been saved during Act 1 before this Act 2 quest can be properly pursued.
  • Invite Arabella to camp Meeting Arabella near the House of Healing is only the start. Invite her to camp to officially trigger and advance the quest.
  • Search the east wing Locke and Komira are located in the east wing of the House of Healing, where the investigation reveals their fate.
  • Return after the discovery After discovering what happened, return to camp and speak with Arabella rather than treating the House of Healing visit as the conclusion.
  • Rest before checking in A long rest creates the next opportunity to check on Arabella and see the aftermath of the conversation.

Find Arabella's Parents overviewSpoilers

Find Arabella's Parents is an Act 2 side quest about helping the tiefling child Arabella after she reaches the Shadow-Cursed Lands.

The quest begins with earlier progress from Act 1: Arabella must have been saved, and the party must encounter her again near the House of Healing in the Shadow-Cursed Lands. Speaking with her there is not by itself enough to complete the setup. Arabella must be invited to the party's camp so that the quest officially triggers and can progress.

The investigation takes the party into the east wing of the House of Healing. Arabella's parents, Locke and Komira, are found there, but the search does not lead to a rescue. The two have perished, and Sister Lidwin, an undead nurse who also acts as a merchant, is standing near their bodies. This makes the visit both an investigation and a difficult story reveal rather than a conventional retrieval mission.

After learning the truth, the party must return to camp and tell Arabella what happened. The emotional resolution is not immediate: after a long rest, the player should check on Arabella again so she can process the outcome. Helping her through this part of her story allows her to learn the ways of the Weave and continue her journey, making the quest's conclusion primarily character-driven rather than reward-driven.

WalkthroughSpoilers

  1. 01

    Save Arabella in Act 1

    Preserve Arabella's Act 1 outcome

    This quest is gated by the earlier decision to save Arabella in Act 1. If that prerequisite was not met, the Act 2 sequence described here cannot be relied upon to appear.

    Watch outThe supplied source identifies this earlier outcome as a prerequisite.

    Missable
  2. 02

    Meet Arabella in Act 2

    Find Arabella near the House of Healing

    In Act 2, travel through the Shadow-Cursed Lands and look for Arabella near the House of Healing. Speak with her there to resume the thread, but do not assume that the nearby conversation alone completes the quest setup.

    Location: Near the House of Healing in the Shadow-Cursed Lands

    TipTreat this meeting as the beginning of the Act 2 continuation, not the final camp resolution.

  3. 03

    Officially trigger and progress the quest

    Invite Arabella to camp

    Use the conversation outcome that invites Arabella to your camp. This step is important because the quest officially triggers and progresses through the camp connection rather than ending at the roadside meeting.

    Location: Camp

    Checkpoint
  4. 04

    Find Locke and Komira

    Enter the east wing of the House of Healing

    Go into the east wing of the House of Healing and investigate the area for Arabella's parents. The relevant discovery is tied to the bodies located inside this part of the building, so a general visit to the House of Healing is not the same as completing the search.

    Location: East wing of the House of Healing

    TipKeep the east wing in mind as the specific search area.

  5. 05

    Discover the fate of Arabella's parents

    Investigate Locke and Komira's bodies

    The investigation reveals that Locke and Komira have unfortunately perished. This is the quest's central plot reveal, so make sure the party has finished any desired exploration of the area before moving on.

    Location: East wing of the House of Healing

    Watch outThis step contains a major story spoiler: the search does not result in a rescue.

  6. 06

    Investigate the scene

    Speak with Sister Lidwin if desired

    Sister Lidwin, an undead nurse and merchant, stands near the bodies. Speaking with her can provide an additional interaction at the scene, while her merchant role gives the party another reason to inspect the area rather than immediately leaving.

    Location: Near Locke and Komira in the House of Healing

    TipThe supplied source also identifies Sister Lidwin as a merchant.

  7. 07

    Gain further information

    Use Speak with Dead on the parents

    If the party has access to the Speak with Dead spell, use it on Locke and Komira to gain further information. This interaction is presented as an additional way to investigate the parents, not as a method of reversing their fate.

    Location: Near the bodies in the east wing

    TipThe spell provides extra context for the investigation.

  8. 08

    Break the news to Arabella

    Return to camp and tell Arabella

    After completing the investigation, return to camp and speak with Arabella. The difficult news about her parents must be delivered there, so leaving the House of Healing without completing this camp conversation leaves the emotional resolution unfinished.

    Location: Camp

    Checkpoint
  9. 09

    Advance the aftermath

    Take a long rest

    Rest at camp after telling Arabella what happened. The follow-up is tied to the passage of time, so immediately checking for a final resolution without taking the recommended long rest may be premature.

    Location: Camp

  10. 10

    Complete Arabella's story arc

    Check on Arabella after the rest

    After a long rest, speak with Arabella again to see how she is processing the outcome. Successfully helping her through this story arc allows her to learn the ways of the Weave and continue her journey.

    Location: Camp

    Watch outThis final step contains the quest's major outcome.

Mission mechanicsSpoilers

This quest is structured around state changes rather than a conventional chain of battles. The important transitions are saving Arabella in Act 1, meeting her again in Act 2, inviting her to camp, investigating the east wing of the House of Healing, and then completing two separate camp interactions. Advancing to the next location without performing the camp step can make the quest appear stalled.

The House of Healing section supports more than one form of investigation. The physical discovery of Locke and Komira establishes what happened, Sister Lidwin provides a nearby character interaction and merchant presence, and Speak with Dead can be used on the parents for further information. None of these interactions changes the fact that the parents have perished.

Camp timing is part of the quest's progression. The first return to camp is used to tell Arabella the news, while the later check-in occurs after a long rest. Players should therefore separate the immediate conversation from the aftermath rather than expecting one dialogue to conclude every stage.

What works and what does not

Strengths

  • The quest gives Arabella's Act 1 storyline a substantial Act 2 continuation.
  • Its investigation has multiple contextual interactions, including Sister Lidwin and Speak with Dead.

Weaknesses

  • The quest depends on the earlier outcome of saving Arabella in Act 1.
  • Meeting Arabella near the House of Healing does not by itself officially trigger the quest.
  • The supplied sources do not establish a combat encounter, numerical reward, or exact completion time.

Best uses

  • Follow Arabella's story as part of an Act 2 exploration route.
  • Use the House of Healing visit to investigate the family outcome before returning to camp.
  • Check camp again after a long rest so the final character development is not missed.
