SHIPWRECKED

Enter the City of Tortage

The Ape King blocks your way.

With the Acheronian Gate open, you will now be able to proceed east to Tortage. However, the route is filled with damn dirty apes. There are a bunch of them and they range in level. They shouldn't cause any real issues though.

If you continue east, you'll eventually come across the Ape King. He's a boss encounter and will be the only thing left blocking your way to Tortage. You'll find him just before the bridge to the gate. Once you dispatch him, you'll have a free run to Tortage. There is also a chest to the south behind two more apes.

Upon reaching the gate as well, you'll proceed into a cutscene with Casilda, who will thank you for rescuing her, part ways with you, and tell you that if you come see her in the city she'll find other means to reward you. Hubba.

The City of Tortage

Pass through the gate and you'll find yourself in the City of Tortage region. You'll be able to see the city walls just east of where you stand. Head over there, and outside the city gate, you'll see Laranga. He is a city guard, and will not let you pass right away. He'll tell you that you cannot enter as you are wearing prisoner shackles, and the Red Hand does not tolerate escaped slaves within the city walls.

The Red Hand is an army of guards who have occupied Tortage under the leadership of a man named Strom. They will play a large role during the rest of your time in the city, and you'll soon learn to despise them.

But for now, you will need to remove the shackles. Laranga is a decent man, and will tell you that one of the city's blacksmiths, Turach, is outside the city currently, and you could speak with him to remove the shackles.

Your conversation with Laranga will advance you to the next stage in the quest line: "The Blacksmith."
