You need to do a favor for Kestrel before she'll help you. Find her old pack and use the connection to enter the Pit, and learn what the Shrikes are up to.

As a favor for Kestrel, you explored the Pit and found that it was abandoned by the Shrike Syndicate. Now she wants to know why.

Dialogue[edit]

Clear Phase 1

Kestrel

Well there you are, love. You've got the connection. Now go to the Pit and see what you can find.

Clear Phase 3

Kestrel

No, no, no—this is all wrong. You saw what it was like outside. There should be scores of Shrikes here, barreling the blood. And why's it so... slimy?

Clear Phase 4

Kestrel

It's still a puzzle, this. Why would the Shrikes abandon this place? Come back to my haven so we can talk next steps.
