  2. Stop at Main Gate Cross before the settlement stairs. Moore sits with his supplies beside Ansbach.

Cliffs north of Church of the Crusade

Scadu Altus · Sadness outcome

When available: After choosing Remain sad forever.

Starting Site of Grace: Church of the Crusade

  2. Search the nearby cliffs north of the church beside the injured forager’s position. Moore’s body can appear here after the sadness choice and a reload.

Quest steps

Quest steps can include different outcomes. Read the branch, conditions and cutoffs before making a choice.

  1. Meet Moore

    Branch: Main quest

    Speak at Main Gate Cross and open his shop. Keep the friendly Forager Brood alive as you explore.

  2. Arrange the syrup delivery

    Branch: Optional delivery

    Meet Thiollier at Pillar Path Cross, then return to Moore and ask to talk. Take Black Syrup to Thiollier and finish the concoction conversation before sending him to St. Trina.

    Progression cutoff: Complete the early exchange before advancing their departures; collecting it before approaching Shadow Keep is the safest order.

  3. Heal the injured forager

    Branch: Main quest

    Find the shivering brood north of Church of the Crusade. Place a Warming Stone or Sunwarmth Stone beside it, reload and speak to the recovered forager for Cookbook [4].

  4. Claim the seventh cookbook

    Branch: Main quest

    Return to Moore after the healing and fourth cookbook. Choose his talk option for Forager Brood Cookbook [7]. Collect his gifts before choosing a departure answer.

  5. Postpone the decision

    Branch: Keep Moore at the camp

    After the charm breaks, answer I don’t know if you want more time. Leave the choice unresolved and keep the brood alive to preserve his camp presence.

  6. Encourage him to move on

    Branch: Put it behind you

    Choosing Put it behind you makes him join Leda’s later group in Enir-Ilim. Defeat that encounter and loot his body for the Verdigris equipment and bearing.

  7. Choose the sadness answer

    Branch: Remain sad forever

    Choosing Remain sad forever sends him to the cliffs north of Church of the Crusade. Reload and collect his equipment there. This is a fatal quest outcome.

  8. Harm the brood

    Branch: Retaliation outcome

    Killing the friendly foragers can bring Moore’s warning and retaliation invasion. Defeating him ends his quest and risks any gifts you have not collected.

Rewards and conditions

Reward or serviceConditionDetails
Black SyrupSpeak after meeting Thiollier while the early delivery is available.Deliver it for the concoction conversation; it is not a drink for your own use.
Forager Brood Cookbook [7]Heal the injured forager and receive its fourth cookbook, then speak to Moore.You do not need to collect every other brood book first.
Verdigris Greatshield, Verdigris set and Moore’s Bell BearingCollect after his chosen fatal outcome or hostile defeat.Keeping him alive at the camp does not also award his death equipment.

Notes

  • Collect the brood cookbooks before sending Moore away. His departure and the brood’s availability affect rewards beyond his own armor.
  • I don’t know postpones the answer. It is not an instruction to kill the brood, and it does not automatically award his gear.
  • The Black Syrup exchange connects to the Dragon Communion Priestess’s alternate outcome. Keep the concoction if you want that choice.
  • His personal bearing transfers shop stock. It does not restore missed gifts, reopen the syrup dialogue or revive friendly foragers.
  • The post-charm question and burning the Sealing Tree are separate events. Finish desired camp gifts and companion choices before advancing the later story.
  • He can remain alive at his camp after the final battle if his decision stays unresolved and you preserve the peaceful branch.
