Reaching Bloodmoon Island in Divinity: Original Sin 2
Bloodmoon Island, shrouded in Deathfog and with its connecting bridge destroyed, presents a challenge in Divinity: Original Sin 2. This guide outlines several methods to overcome this obstacle and access the island's quests and storyline advancements.
Method 1: The Spirit Bridge
The remnants of the bridge northeast of Cloisterwood, near Jahan and Witch Alice, are visible using Spirit Vision. Crossing requires overcoming the gaps. Several options exist:
-
Gloves of Teleportation: These allow repeated teleporting of party members across the broken sections.
-
Translocation Skills: Skills like Phoenix Dive, Cloak and Dagger, or Tactical Retreat enable teleporting, but may be limited by party composition.
-
Teleporter Pyramids: Using two pyramids, one companion can cross using translocation, then the others teleport to their location.
-
Fast Travel: A companion with translocation reaches the island, establishes a waypoint, allowing the rest of the party to fast travel.
Method 2: The Undead Ferry
An undead ferryman northwest of Cloisterwood offers passage across the Deathfog. However, this is a trap; only undead characters like Fane are immune to the Deathfog.
-
With Fane: Fane can take the ferry alone, establish a waypoint, and the rest of the party can fast travel.
-
Without Fane: This requires at least two Teleporter Pyramids. A companion takes the ferry, dies on the island, and is revived using the second pyramid and resurrection magic. This method is less efficient than using the bridge.
Avoiding Combat with the Ferryman
It's advisable to avoid attacking the Undead Ferryman. He can retaliate with a deadly Deathfog spell. If engaging him, save your game beforehand. Defeating him yields a Soothing Cold skillbook, a belt, and 3,750 XP. The bridge remains the most efficient method for parties lacking Fane.
