  • Search the Last Light Inn cellar Cracked walls lead into a cellar area where Meenlocks guard the route to Halfred's Note.
  • Get the tower-shaped key Mattis at Last Light Inn can provide the tower-shaped key needed for the hidden area in the Reithwin Mason's Guild.
  • Finish before the Moonrise attack The supplied guidance recommends completing the investigation before launching an attack on Moonrise Towers so the evidence is not missed.

Investigate the Selunite Resistance overview

Investigate the Selunite Resistance is an Act 2 side quest about uncovering what happened to a Selunite resistance movement in the Shadow-Cursed Lands.

The investigation begins at an abandoned potter's workshop. Search the workshop carefully and read the note inside a chest; this discovery establishes the quest and directs the investigation toward evidence connected with the resistance. The quest is less about collecting conventional treasure than about assembling a historical account from scattered documents and hidden spaces.

The investigation then leads to the cellar beneath Last Light Inn. The cellar contains cracked walls and hostile Meenlocks, so reaching the evidence requires more than simply walking through the main rooms. After navigating the cellar and dealing with its enemies, you can discover Halfred's Note, an important piece of the resistance's history.

The final documented location is the Reithwin Mason's Guild. A tower-shaped key obtained from Mattis at Last Light Inn opens a hidden area there, where the Mason's Log provides the evidence needed to complete the investigation. Because Act 2 circumstances can change as the story advances, it is advisable to finish this quest before launching an attack on Moonrise Towers.

Walkthrough

  1. 01

    Find and read the note in the chest

    Search the abandoned potter's workshop

    Enter the abandoned potter's workshop in Act 2 and search its containers rather than relying only on the room's obvious furnishings. The relevant starting item is a note inside a chest, and the quest does not begin until the note has been read.

    Location: Abandoned potter's workshop

    TipInspect the chest directly and open the note from the inventory or examination interface so the discovery registers.

    Missable
  2. 02

    Reach the inn and prepare to search its cellar

    Follow the investigation to Last Light Inn

    Travel to Last Light Inn after the workshop discovery and use the inn as the next investigation hub. The quest's documented evidence trail continues below the inn, while Mattis is also the source of the key needed later.

    Location: Last Light Inn

    TipTreat the cellar search and the conversation with Mattis as separate tasks; completing one does not replace the other.

  3. 03

    Navigate beyond the cellar's initial rooms

    Enter the cellar through the cracked walls

    Search the cellar beneath Last Light Inn for cracked walls that lead farther into the area. The route is not presented as a simple open-room investigation, so inspect the cellar boundaries and use the available passage rather than stopping at the first storage spaces.

    Location: Last Light Inn cellar

    Watch outThe cellar contains hostile Meenlocks, so entering without preparing for a fight can interrupt the investigation.

  4. 04

    Deal with the Meenlocks and search the deeper cellar

    Defeat the Meenlocks and secure the cellar

    Fight the Meenlocks encountered while moving through the cellar and clear enough space to search safely. Once the enemies are dealt with, continue examining the area for the written evidence rather than leaving immediately after the combat.

    Location: Last Light Inn cellar

    TipSearch again after the encounter; the quest's important discovery is a document in the cellar, not simply the defeat of its enemies.

  5. 05

    Discover and read Halfred's Note

    Read Halfred's Note

    Locate Halfred's Note in the cellar after navigating the cracked-wall route and resolving the Meenlock encounter. Reading the document advances the historical side of the investigation and identifies the cellar as a source of resistance evidence.

    Location: Last Light Inn cellar

    Missable
  6. 06

    Acquire the tower-shaped key from Mattis

    Speak with Mattis about the tower-shaped key

    Find Mattis at Last Light Inn and obtain the tower-shaped key associated with the next stage of the investigation. Without this key, the hidden area at the Reithwin Mason's Guild cannot be accessed through the documented method.

    Location: Last Light Inn

    Watch outDo not leave the inn assuming the guild can be fully investigated without first securing the key.

  7. 07

    Find the locked or hidden section connected to the tower-shaped key

    Travel to the Reithwin Mason's Guild

    Proceed to the Reithwin Mason's Guild once you have the tower-shaped key. The guild is the final documented investigation site, and its relevant evidence is kept in an area that is not available from the ordinary approach alone.

    Location: Reithwin Mason's Guild

  8. 08

    Open the hidden area

    Use the tower-shaped key to enter the hidden area

    Use the tower-shaped key at the Reithwin Mason's Guild to access the hidden area. After entering, search the newly opened space for the guild's written record instead of treating the key as a reward with no further purpose.

    Location: Reithwin Mason's Guild

  9. 09

    Read the Mason's Log

    Read the Mason's Log

    Find and read the Mason's Log inside the hidden area of the Reithwin Mason's Guild. This final document supplies the remaining evidence and completes the investigation as described by the quest's documented route.

    Location: Reithwin Mason's Guild hidden area

  10. 10

    Finish the quest before the Moonrise Towers attack

    Complete the investigation before attacking Moonrise Towers

    If the Act 2 story has not yet reached the attack on Moonrise Towers, finish this investigation while the relevant locations and evidence remain available. The supplied guidance specifically recommends this timing because progressing the attack can cause the side content to be missed.

    Location: Act 2

    Watch outThe investigation is considered time-sensitive in the supplied guidance; postpone the major attack until the documents have been read.

Mission mechanics

This quest uses environmental investigation as its main progression mechanic. The first trigger is a readable note in a chest at the abandoned potter's workshop, followed by document discoveries in two separate locations. Players should inspect containers, walls, and newly opened spaces rather than expecting every objective to be marked by a combat encounter.

The Last Light Inn cellar combines exploration with a hostile interruption. Cracked walls provide the route into the deeper section, and Meenlocks must be defeated before the area can be searched reliably for Halfred's Note. The quest therefore rewards a methodical approach: identify the passage, survive the encounter, then examine the surroundings for the document.

Access control is handled through the tower-shaped key. Mattis at Last Light Inn is tied to the key's acquisition, while the Reithwin Mason's Guild contains the hidden area it opens. The final progression check is reading the Mason's Log, making document interaction the decisive action at the end of the quest.

What works and what does not

Strengths

  • Provides historical context for the Shadow-Cursed Lands through readable evidence.
  • Connects three distinct investigation points: the abandoned potter's workshop, Last Light Inn, and the Reithwin Mason's Guild.
  • Uses exploration, document discovery, and a key-based access step instead of relying only on combat.

Weaknesses

  • The quest is primarily narrative and does not provide significant mechanical rewards according to the supplied source.
  • Its evidence can be easy to overlook because progression depends on reading specific documents.
  • The content is advisable to complete before the Moonrise Towers attack, which makes timing important.

Best uses

  • Complete it when building an understanding of Act 2's regional history.
  • Pair the cellar search with other business at Last Light Inn.
  • Use the document trail as a checklist so the final Mason's Log is not overlooked.

Encounter phases

  1. 1

    Cellar approach

  2. 2

    Meenlock encounter

    Starts: Moving through the cracked-wall route in the cellar.

    Not documented.

    Meenlocks occupy the cellar route and must be defeated before the area can be searched safely for Halfred's Note.

Failure conditions and timingSpoilers

  • Advancing to the attack on Moonrise Towers before completing the investigationThe supplied source advises completing the quest beforehand because the content may be missed after this major Act 2 progression point.
  • Leaving the cellar without searching after the Meenlock encounterDefeating the enemies is not the end of the investigation; Halfred's Note still needs to be found and read.
  • Reaching the Mason's Guild without the tower-shaped keyThe key from Mattis is the documented means of accessing the guild's hidden area.
  • Finding the documents without reading themThe quest is document-driven, so inspect and read the note, Halfred's Note, and Mason's Log rather than merely picking them up.

On failure

The supplied source does not document exact autosave points or restart behavior. Treat each read document as a progression checkpoint and keep a save before major Act 2 story advances.

Rewards and drops

  • Selunite resistance history
    The quest provides backstory and connective lore about the Shadow-Cursed Lands.
  • Quest completion
    Reading the Mason's Log in the hidden area of the Reithwin Mason's Guild completes the documented investigation.
  • No significant mechanical reward documented
    The supplied source characterizes the quest as primarily narrative and does not document a major equipment or currency reward.

AftermathSpoilers

Complete the investigation before the major assault

The quest's value is chiefly its historical context, so delaying it can cost more than an item reward: it can remove a piece of the Shadow-Cursed Lands' resistance lore from the current playthrough. Complete the document trail before launching an attack on Moonrise Towers.

Trivia and context

  • The quest is structured around written records rather than a conventional reward-driven objective.
  • Its investigation crosses an abandoned workshop, an inn cellar, and a guild's hidden area.
  • The tower-shaped key links Mattis at Last Light Inn to the hidden section of the Reithwin Mason's Guild.
  • The quest's documents collectively provide connective lore about the region's past.
