How to get Quagmire Powder in Windrose

The first step is to unlock the Cursed Swamps biome. I unlocked it after the Foothills on my save, and it will likely be the third region you can access.

Go to the swamps, and you’ll come across a creature called a Plague Thrall. They’re fairly common, and you’ll find them in the forests or along the coastline. They’re slow, have two blocks, and do melee attacks. They’re not too hard to kill as long as you’ve leveled up sufficiently.

When you kill and loot a Plague Thrall, you’ll get Quagmire Powder. Killing them also gives you Bone Beads as another material. Quagmire Powder also appears to be a guaranteed drop; so far, every Plague Thrall that I have killed seems to drop the item.

Quagmire Powder is required to smelt and produce Mire Metal Ingots. This item requires one Quagmire Powder and two Ancient Scraps. Mire Metal Ingots will be required for getting the final upgrades for your weapons and ships during the endgame. In simple words, it’s an extremely important resource to get.

Hence, try to farm as much Quagmire Powder as possible if you’re in the Cursed Swamps.

Fate of the Prophets is one of the more advanced side quests you can complete in Windrose. The recommended player level is 14, so you’ll have to do a fair bit of in-game grind to gain access to the quest.

Let’s look at how to solve all the tasks of this quest in Windrose.

The crux of the quest is about exploring the ancient observatories.

Stargazer Tower (First Stargazer)
Ancient Observatory
Warlord’s death site

Travel to the Stargazer Tower (position will have a marker) and reach its inner sanctum. You’ll have to solve the puzzle to open the secret room. Head inside and interact with the Observatory Stele to find out what happened with the first Stargazer.

The second one is in an ancient observatory that’s located southeast of the Stargazer Tower. Follow the marker, and clear all enemies you can find in the area. Solve the puzzle, and reach the inner sanctum. Interact with the second Observatory Stele to find out what happened to the second Stargazer.

Follow the marker and head north to find another observatory. The basic ritual is the same: kill the enemies, head to the inner sanctum, and interact with the Observatory Stele to find out what happened with the third Stargazer.

Finally, travel to the warlord’s death site, but there won’t be anything to note. Instead, you’ll need to defeat Chick Chan. It’s not the hardest of bosses, but it has a massive health pool. Hence, you’ll inevitably take damage from its attacks. Just stock some healing items, and you should be good to go. Once Chick Chan is defeated, it will end Fate of the Prophets, and you’ll get the following rewards.
