Titan Quest 2 features an extensive array of side quests that players can engage in to earn additional experience points and acquire unique gear, enhancing their characters for formidable bosses like the Gryphon. After the prologue, you will wash ashore on the island of Pyrgos, which is significantly larger than the initial island.
Upon leaving the beach, players will meet Itys, who expresses concern for other villagers who have been taken captive. This section outlines where to locate these prisoners and how to release them to complete the task.
Locating Prisoners in Pyrgos Outskirts (Cages in the Dark) in Titan Quest 2
From the village where you accepted the quest, head west along the path. The path spirals around and then shifts northward, with the entrance to Fiend’s Hollow directly ahead. This cave is populated by Ichthian foes, where each group of minor enemies is led by a slightly more powerful leader. Fortunately, players should not encounter any significant threats, especially if exploring solo.
Location of Prisoners in Fiend’s Hollow
Within the cave, there are three cages; however, only two contain prisoners. As you enter, keep to the left wall to find the first cage. Ensure you eliminate all surrounding enemies before unlocking the door to allow the prisoners to escape.
For the next set of prisoners, follow the path on the right side of the cave entrance. A path will emerge leading to the right, descending downwards where the second cage housing prisoners can be found. Note that the third cage at the northern section of the cave is empty.
Rewards for Cages in the Dark in Titan Quest 2
After freeing the prisoners, return to the village and converse with Timandra, who will display a scroll icon above her. The rewards for successfully completing the quest are:
Unlike other side quests, such as gathering coins on the Desolate Beach, this one does not yield a rare item. Nevertheless, it is beneficial for leveling up and obtaining additional skill points. Additionally, while it’s not part of the Cages in the Dark quest, players may discover the Mysterious Door within the cave, which can only be accessed by solving the cave’s puzzle to initiate another side quest.
