After your conversation, exit the Tavern and turn right down to the end of the docs to meet Captain Brattigan. Get some info about your future journey, then enjoy the cutscene.
Go and talk to Brattigan about how the shipwreck occurred. Loot the bodies and pick up other items along the wreckage to the north, then turn around and head south into the Cavern.
Head up the path and kill the two giant rats. Follow Brattigan up the path. After she plants the explosives in front of the blockade, stand back to avoid getting hit. Walk up the slope and turn left at the fork.
Kill the Scav on the left, then head up the winding path and follow it around to the north. Once you get to the next wall, stand back and Brattigan will blow it up. Head forward and kill the Ancient Leanashe
Loot him of all his gold and continue up the path to the north. Kill the two Scavs that drop down about halfway down the bridge, then continue forward. Loot the chests on both sides of the blockade, then it will be up to you to plant the explosives.

Kill the two Scavs at the turn, loot the chest to the right and continue down the path. Two more Scavs and a chest to loot up ahead. After you go down the slope, you can find a chest at the bottom of that small pool of water, then continue on the path (which will now have you going north).

Dark Harbor
Go and talk with Alder Malloi, who will be wandering around the docks. Following your discussion, head east to deliver the amulet to Watcher located inside of Souldeep Fasting
After you give him the amulet, loot the nearby chest and exit back out to Gallows End. Head north and go talk to Quay, who will be at the top of a small mountain.
Following your conversation, head northwest toward Dark Harbor. Once you reach the maze of bridges, it will be Faer Gorta headquarters. Battle your way through them to eventually reach the entrance of Dark Harbor.
Once inside, you’ll need to raise the Harbor wall by destroying the four gears. Go forward, kill the two Faer Gortas on the left and open the chest. Cross over diagonally to the right. Destroy the boxes in front of the first gear, then attack the gear to destroy it. Do the same with the next gear down and around to the right.
Turn around, head up the stairs and follow the path around to the left. Kill the two different groups of Faer Gortas, then once you reach the end of the path, destroy the final two gears.
As you go to leave Dark Harbor and return to Quay, you will have to defeat Bloodgrin. He will summon Faer Gortas to help him and use his slash attacks with his scepter, but he moves incredibly slow and should be rather easy to defeat. Once his health is gone, follow the on-screen button commands to defeat him.
Following the fight, Quay will meet you himself in Dark Harbor. Ask him where Dead Kel is. After you conversation, head for the boat to complete the quest.

Following your conversation, head forward into the Ring of the Watcher. After you conversation with Dead Kel, you’ll then have to kill the Baronett.
To start off, you’ll have to kill his two clones first. Dodge his fireballs and use magic like crazy to take the clones out first.

The Exiles
After Dead Kel shows up and you tell him you must die, it will finally time to fight him. The two moves you have to watch out for are his spears with his sword and this move where he pounds the ground with his sword—when he does this, make sure you are outside of the rad radius, or else you will swallowed up by roots that come up from the ground.
Other than that, and the Faer Gortas that he constantly conjures, he will be easy to defeat. Once his health is gone, follow the on-screen button commands to defeat him.
Head down the path to the west while dodging the falling debris. Kill the Urchin at the turn and hit the chest in the alcove on the right. Head down the stairs and kill another Urchin around the next turn.
Hit the chest on the other side of the chasm for a greater damage boost potion and continue down the path. Once you get outside, head to the edge of the sea to talk with your partner.
Once you have returned to the docks, go over and talk to Quay to complete the quest.
