The Curse of Candlemere is a quest in Pathfinder: Kingmaker.

Journal[ | ]

The Stolen Lands are full of weird places. Take the island in the middle of Candlemere Lake, for instance — it seems like just some regular, remote place from afar, calm and quiet. But the local fishers all keep their boats as far away from the island as possible, and there are tales of ghostly lights dancing on the island's shores at night. Some say that something terrible happened at the tower long ago, something so dark and abominable that the place is still cursed. True or not, we have to explore the place anyway — it would be outrageous to have a barony with an uncharted spot in the middle of its map!

Hidden Failure Objective
Candlemere Island is still an enigma to us, but at least we didn't let that crazy priest of Nethys open a mysterious portal to another world. We could just turn the page on this, but the unsealed portal in the tower still keeps me up at night. Something tells me we'll be hearing about this place again!

Walkthrough[ | ]

Find out what happened to Gunderson's team[ | ]

Explore the island[ | ]

  • You need to reach Rismel on the hill at northeast.
  • While getting to him you can find corpses of his comrades, one on the west side of the hill, another at the east side of tower.

Deal with the mad cleric of Nethys[ | ]

  • To complete this objective you need to kill Duke Dazzleflare.
  • Upon talking with Rismel you can either attack him right away (to summon the Duke) or bring him to his senses for extra +480xp.

Report the results of the expedition to Willas Gunderson[ | ]


Bug icon Delaying the fight with Duke Dazzleflare prevents you from getting "The Magic of Candlemere Tower" region upgrade, and insisting on asking more questions prevents peaceful resolution altogether. (Last Version:2.1.7b)
