A Familiar Face Walkthrough

The quest begins in the Lower City within Baldur's Gate. Players can reach this destination in Act 3. Shadowheart will remember an old friend and this quest only has one objective: Find Shadowheart's old friend.

 

Find Shadowheart's old friend.

The quest is activated in the Lower City. To enter it, you will need to progress to Baldur's Gate. You can reach the lower city by activating and progressing through Investigate the Murders in Baldur's Gate, which will provide you with a way to the Lower City to further investigate the murders. This location is encountered with the progression of the game's main storyline and is also a part of Shadowheart's main Companion quest: Daughter of Darkness. Follow the main quests till you reach Baldur's Gate in act 3, then follow the steps of her main questline. You can Follow these steps on her main quest walkthrough here or view the overview of the objectives below. 

Daughter of Darkness objectives: 

• Journey to Baldur's Gate.
• Find a Sharran Lookout.
• Journey to the House of Grief.
• Find a way into the Cloister.
• Confront Viconia.

Once you reach the House of Grief, you will be able to find Shadowheart's friend in the same location even after facing Viconia.

The friend you are looking for is Nocturne. She serves as quartermaster for the Sharran cloister so you can encounter her at the Cloister of Sombre Embrace. Your interactions with Nocturne can be affected depending on your status through the Daughter of Darkness questline and Shadowheart's situation. If Shadowheart is no longer in your party, the quest will conclude with one of the following. 

• Shadowheart perished before she could be reunited with her old friend.
• Shadowheart abandoned us before we could help her find her old friend.

If you find her and interact with her, she will recognize Shadowheart. If Shadowheart turned away from Shar, she may not recognize her and Nocturne will realize that she may not walk in the Dark Lady's shadow anymore. You can then respond. 

1. Then you two are enemies - not friends. 
2. Say nothing. 

If you say nothing, it will be Shadowheart who will declare that they are enemies. 

If you approach her as a friend of Shadowheart, you will be able to trade with her. 

By Locating her, you will have one of the possible outcomes below: 

• We found Shadowheart's old friend, who now goes by the name Nocturne. She serves as quartermaster for the Sharran cloister, and despite being glad to see Shadowheart again, she could not bring herself to turn from Shar.
