Maracai SideQuests

Maracai SideQuests

Now that we have found the landing on the Maracai coast it is time to dig into the local quests!


(2.6.2) Maracai > Storage Barrels from the Wreck
Speaking to Mercutio in the Temple at the beach in Maracai reveals that the Bluecoats have experienced their own difficulties.  He tells you that he will trade with you if you retrieve the Storage Barrels from the beach for him.  There are six barrels in total.  Retrieving them and then turning them over to Mercutio completes this quest and activates your ability to trade with him.


(2.6.3) Maracai > Storage Barrels from the Wreck > Storage Barrels Found
On the right-side beach (facing your ship from the Temple entrance) you will find all six of the storage barrels that Mercutio needs and wants.  Picking the six barrels up and turning them over to Mercutio flags and completes this sub-quest.  Nice one!


(2.6.4) Maracai > Map of Maracai
You learn that Commandant Corrientes has a map of the region that he obtained from the archives in Caldera.  It is possible that we can obtain a copy form him...


(2.6.5) Maracai > The Beast in the Lake
When you reach the camp outside of the Maracai Native Village (by the lake) you will meet Hanu, who will tell you about the Beast in the Lake and warn you -- your offer to help flags this quest!  The Beast in the Lake is actually an Alligator who is, naturally, named "Beast" of course. 


(2.6.6) Maracai > The Beast in the Lake > The Beast is Dead
After you kill it that completes the main quest but be sure to return to Hanu to collect a reward and complete this one.


(2.6.7) Maracai > The Deserter
When you talk to the Commandant in the Maracai Village on of the things that he asks you to do is kill the deserter -- Angus -- who as you know is at the Camp near the small beach.  Do it, don't, it is your call...  But if you jump to Garcia's Ship then to the beach and head up the path to Camp you will find him sitting there...  You have a conversation with him and tell him that the Commandant has ordered his death -- you now have a choice to make...  I chose to have him join my party and then head to the main camp to talk to Lt. Valdez -- you can jump to the Old Camp to cut out some of the trip but it is a long hike, and when you reach Valdez he is convinced that we misunderstood the Commandant!


(2.6.8) Maracai > The Deserter > Angus Rescued
You tell Valdez what the Commandant said, and you learn that the man you thought was the Commandant is actually Garcia!  This unlocks the Achievement "Detective" (20 GP) for revealing this deception.  It is starting to make more sense now!  This completes the quest line.


(2.6.9) Maracai > The Peace of the Dead
In the Village you can talk to Malaika to learn about the theft of three idols by some Pirates.  This theft has disturbed her dead ancestors, and she wants you to get the idols back from the pirates who took them.  Doing so and returning them to her completes this quest!


(2.6.10) Maracai > The Peace of the Dead > Plunderers at the Ancestral Grave
When you arrive at the second tomb of the four you need to visit you will encounter a trio of Pirate Grave Robbers -- killing the first one flags this sub-quest, and dispatching the remaining two completes it!


(2.6.11) Maracai > The Peace of the Dead > Grave Idols
As part of the sub-quest series you learn about the Idols from Dara,  That flags and completes this sub-quest.


(2.6.12) Maracai > The Peace of the Dead > Where is Koraka?
Talking to Dara in the Village gives more information about the pirates -- and the fact that her husband has gone missing when he went looking for them.  She wants you to find him and help him if he is not already dead.


(2.6.13) Maracai > Seize Garcia's Ship
Use the dinghy on the small beach where Garcia's Ship is anchored to reach the ship and kill the four pirates that are guarding it to seize it and complete this quest!  Be sure to loot the ship, including the treasure map in Garcia's cabin -- and read his Journal.


(2.6.14) Maracai > Nice and Spicy
The wack sermon that Bones is issuing is making the Natives restless -- we need to shut him up.  The best way to do that if you are not heavily invested in Intimidate is to help Jamila make her soup.  To do that we talk to her by the Voodoo Potion Cauldron at the back of the Village and then head into the highlands where the markers are on the map to get the Fire Peppers.  Return to her and turn them in to get the soup, which we then feed to Bones!


(2.6.15) Maracai > Nice and Spicy > Fire Peppers
The location is marked on the map, and when we arrive we talk to Jamila's apprentice, who gives us the first of the four Fire Peppers to get us started.  The other three are in this area and we only need to harvest them.


(2.6.16) Maracai > Unwanted Sermon
After you meet Bones in the Maracai Village and talk to him twice -- first on the path and then after he gives his sermon -- you offer to help him in order to get him to join the crew.  The point to this quest is to get Bones to shut it -- you can do that in one of two ways...  If your Intimidate is at 90 or above you can use that option; if not you can use the soup from the quest Nice and Spicy you get from Jamila and that will do the trick, completing this quest!


(2.6.17) Maracai > Enemy Pirate Camp
The Enemy Camp and location of the Pirate Black Dog is discovered as you work on the quest Graves of the Ancestors -- and once you find the camp you have to kill Black Dog and his three mates, and then loot their bodies to obtain the Mask you are seeking -- killing the four Pirates completes this quest.


(2.6.18) Maracai > The Graves of the Ancestors
When you find the small Temple with the Golden Mask on an Alter inside you will flag this quest when you try to take the Golden Mask and end up being confronted by one of the Ancestors in Demon Form.  To complete this quest you need to restore the four masks to the four Temples on the island.  Easy-Peasey-Lemon-Squeezy!


(2.6.19) Maracai > The Naked Corpses
Inside the Temple near the lake on the way to the Native Village we find a collection of naked corpses that are something of a mystery.  Examining them flags this quest, and we find that we must solve this mystery!  This quest will resolve as part of the process of completing the quest Deserter.


(2.6.20) Maracai > Chaku Datu's Legacy
