Dorotya

Location Undertavern (Driftwood)
Suggested Level 7+*

A Web of Desire is a Quest in Divinity: Original Sin II, Act II.

Underneath the Tavern, a woman named Dorotya offers you a gift in return for a kiss. But everything is not what it seems...

 

 Important NPCs

 

A Web of Desire Objectives

  1. Speak to Dorotya and convince her you are worthy to receive her gift.
  2. Have the character who spoke with her meet her in private for a kiss.
  3. Allow her to kiss you OR kill her*.
  4. Repeat this quest for every other party member (so long as she isn't killed) (optional).

 

A Web of Desire Walkthrough

Before initiating this quest, read through the entire walkthrough first as it comes with a potential cost as well.

After speaking to Dorotya, The Decadent One, she will ask you to prove your worthiness. Simply pick one of the options that prove your worthiness, such as being the Champion of the Arena in Fort Joy. It's hard to fail this dialogue unless you explicitly decline her advances. Afterward, she will ask you to choose a vision.

Each vision will grant you a different "reward." See the chart further below for the effects of each choice.

She will ask to meet your character alone at an area marked on your map as "Dorotya's Kissing Corner". Split the character that spoke with her from your party and have them meet with Dorotya alone. Your other members must be out of Dorotya's sight in order for the dialogue to progress. Rest assured, the encounter is perfectly safe unless you explicitly choose to fight her.

Once you meet her, she will suddenly transform into a giant spider looking to "kiss" you. You must decide whether to let her or to draw your weapon and fight.

If you choose to let her kiss you, your character will receive a permanent talent called "Spider's Kiss", with an effect that's based on your choice of vision. Accepting the kiss will also bestow the character 6,000 XP (5,000 XP in DE Edition).

(Note: If you are using an undead character (e.g. Fane), she will ask you to use the Mask of the Shapeshifter to transform yourself into another form before she will kiss you.)

Vision Choice Reward Cost
Towering Oak Strength +2 Constitution -2
Curved Quill Intelligence +2
Golden Chest 2,000 Gold
Stately Dragon Wits +2
Transparent Chrysalis Glowing Idol of Rebirth

 

The Spider's Kiss talent is permanent and cannot be removed via the Magic Mirror, and its effect will vary based on the vision choice you chose. Choose wisely, or simply go with the Chrysalis for the Idol of Rebirth (see the details for the idol below for why it is arguably the best choice).

After the kiss, you can still choose to explicitly attack her or simply let her go, either way, the quest will be completed for that specific character. If you chose to let her live she will return to what she was doing before and your other party members may do the quest for themselves as well. The EXP earned for completion is only awarded for that specific character, so you will need to repeat the quest several times to earn it for all characters.

If you instead choose to fight and successfully kill her, your party members will all receive 4,000 EXP each, and looting her corpse will yield an "Ashen Idol of Rebirth", two unique daggers, and a key. Although you are meeting her with a single character, your other party members can join the fight as well after it is initiated. Do note, this is not the intended direction for the quest to complete, but it is made available to you. It offers less of a reward than accepting the kiss.

 

Tips & Tricks

  • If you hire a mercenary on the Lady Vengeance, you can no longer use them to complete the quest. The dialog appears to complete, but there is no option to look into her ring.
  • Aside from the Idol of Rebirth, the Strength or Intelligence reward may be a reasonable choice if Vitality isn't as crucial to your character. If you're uncertain, you don't need to complete the quest at this time. If you've already initiated the quest, simply avoid meeting her and she'll reset the quest after a bit of waiting.
  • After you've completed the quest up to four times, you can also kill her to gain bonus experience and loot.
  • The key found on her corpse unlocks a chest inside her room.
  • You can pickpocket an Ashen Idol of Rebirth from her at any time outside of the quest.  If you pickpocket the Ashen Idol of Rebirth first, then choose the 'Transparent Chrysalis' vision choice, you will be still be given one as a reward giving you an extra idol.
  • You can get an idol for every character, to do this simply progress and select the choice that gives you the idol and accept the deal for a kiss. but do not actually go to get said kiss. wait around till she walks back. then talk with the other characters one by one doing this untill all have a idol and kiss lined up. then simply talk to her again and she will mention you never showed up and you can tell her you want another chance do so with all characters and everyone will have an idol. This will still require each character to receive the kiss.

 

Idol of Rebirth

The Idol of Rebirth is an item that automatically resurrects the possessor upon death and also grants them full Vitality (but no Armour). It doesn't cost any AP to use.

Although it is a one-time use item, it is easily refillable by crafting the emptied idol together with a Resurrect Scroll. This can be a potentially exploitable tactic to turn your character(s) immortal as long as you have many Resurrect Scrolls in your inventory. It only costs 1 AP to craft during a battle, which is significantly better than the 3 AP cost to use a Resurrect Scroll.

Resurrect Scrolls can be crafted using the following recipe: Sheet of Paper + Water Essence + Life Essence. The paper is inexpensive and easy to acquire, and you should have a fair number of Water and Life Essences by now, as long as you haven't been wasting them. These materials can also be bought from merchants from time to time.

      Correction to my (Anonymous) post from yesterday:
      The teleport method does still work in DE edition. HOWEVER the dialogue options regarding the gifts are not reduced like stated in previous postings.
      So if you select the chrysalis for example and talk to her again, the option for the chrysalis is still there. Same for all the other options.
      But you can pick one after the other and still gain all the rewards!

        Testes in 04/03/2024 in DE Edition. Teleport Exploit does not seem to work anymore. At least for me the offers I can choose are not reduced. EG if I choose the crysalis (= Idol), then teleport away and waypoint away (and even leave with the character who did the teleport).
        I can talk to her again and choose the chrysalis again. So doesn't seem to work. :(

        • Anonymous

          so i'll repeat what i posted years ago people still seem confused.

          the teleport method works in DE Edition, but not in the Classic Edition due to conversation mechanics. So use the above method in the Classic Edition, and use the Teleport method in the DE Edition since you can get ALL rewards with the teleport method.

            I didn't want to kill her but I didn't want this quest to hang as unfinished
            I'm sorry pretty spider lady (┬┬﹏┬┬)

              You can still get one idol per character, no teleporting needed. Just follow the guide in the tips and tricks. It does take her a while to walk back to her room before you can talk to her again with another character, so there's a bit of waiting involved.

              • Anonymous

                you cannot get more than 2 idols anymore, one stealing from her before the quest and one from the quest. if you want to try and get another one the option for the idol does not show anymore

                  When you kill her as a human, you get 4k xp and she'll transform into a spider and you can kill her again for another 4k xp. Idk if this is what happens when you pick the raise your weapon choice after getting kissed but it works if you attack her during the conversation.

                    You can get an extra 5k for companions by dismissing them and re-adding them after you get the first kiss with your main character. It leaves them with 5k ahead of you permanently though but you get a lot more than 5k per quest in act 2 so no big deal. This works in addition to the exploit.

                      2023-02-13 When you start teleporting ur charecter Dorotya says and i quote "There's someone teleporting away from people mid-conversation. I don't like it- they're up to something, I'm sure ofit. Keep and eye out for them.

                        2023-01-31: still works in definitive edition.
                        what is important:
                        1. Proceed to dialogue where you choose reward. Choose reward and STOP.
                        2. With another nearby character, teleport main character as far away as you can.
                        3. Dorotya will walk to main to resume chat. With main, waypoint anywhere, then back.
                        4. Dorotya will walk to where main character left, then back to her table.
                        5. You may restart chat and pick another reward.

                          The exploit is this:


                          Talk to her with any character.

                          Pick a reward

                          Immediately teleport the character. Away

                          Restart conversation.

                          Pick a different reward and repeat.

                          Go get the kiss

                          Then pick another member of your party and do the same thing.

                            Hi there,
                            Just would like to add that i think they patched it out 31/10/2022, you stay in the conversation, even if you teleport the character in convo as far away as you can inside the undertavern (towards arena or exit).

                              June 10th 2022 Teleport Exploit still works. Tried to see how exactly it works since explanations here is poor. I think I found a simpler steps to use it to gain all rewards for each of your characters including Idol of Rebirth for each character.
                              You need at least 2 characters with teleport skill/scrolls.
                              1. Start conversation with Dorotea with first character and choose one reward and don't continue dialog further.
                              2. Choose different character and teleport first character away from dorotea so that it cancel dialog.
                              3. Choose first character and repeat steps 1-2 until one reward is left and choose it then finish dialog
                              4. Go after her and accept her kiss and you will gain all rewards.
                              5. Repeat steps 1-4 for each other character.
                              P.S. By default Idol of Rebirth reward is only availible to only one character but when using exploit to gain more than 1 reward it could be gained by another character. I tried diffirent combinations of rewards and when she kisses her comment is never about idol but about any other reward. So as far as I understand it when choosing idol reward it and proceed to the kiss dialog it activate some script that change some parameter which affect visibility of this reward option in dialog but when using exploit it don't trigger idol dialog and so it don't activate that script so you can choose it again with other characters.

                                    Just did the teleportation exploit on 01/09/2022, can confirm it still works!


                                    Exploit refreshed so you don't have to scroll way down:
                                    0. Have all other party characters away from the one speaking to Dorotya. 1. Speak with her with first character and choose one bonus, (don't continue dialogue after that) then teleport first character away, wait until she stops walking towards you, and speak to her again. Dialogue should start from beginning. 2. Choose another bonus and teleport away. 3. Repeat with ALL characters until you have chosen all bonuses with each character, and then continue with the quest. 4. Meet her (solo) with each character and let her kiss you (fane will need to transform with the mask).
                                    Result: +2 str, +2 int, +2 wit, -2 con, 2k gold for each character & Glowing idol of rebirth x4 (5 if you steal the one on her before acquiring one from the quest, but why would you need 5?)

                                      There are conflicting comments about whether you can get multiple Idols of Rebirth or not. I believe I know why.

                                      If you do the quest normally you can only get two idols - one by pickpocketing and one as a reward. Dorotya doesn't offer any more idols after the first character finished the conversation.

                                      However, if you do the exploit with teleporting out of the conversation right after you choose the reward, the enitre party can still get all the rewards - four idols and each of the boosts.

                                        Okay so for those having trouble with this whole "Teleport Exploit" I kept seeing below there is a much more simple way to get 4 (Five if you pick pocket her) Idols.

                                        Simply sperate your party and have each one talk to her while not grouped. Pick the chrysalis option and complete the dialogue.

                                        Let her walk all the way to the area, get bored (Takes a little over a minute of her standing in the meet up spot) and go back to her room.

                                        Talk to her with a different part member and have them pick the chrysalis.

                                        Just repeat this for all the party members and then 1 by 1 finish the quest by having them talk to her to "Try again". Each member will be given the idol with no trouble.

                                          I was able to get the exploit to work

                                          I did the teleportation method

                                          char 1 -> choose 4 options , teleporting away each time. Make sure nobody sees the character doing the teleporting (save the 5th option for when you are ready to kiss)

                                          repeat with the other 2 characters

                                          4th character you choose all 5 and have to go kiss her and then kiss with the last option you didn't pick on the other 3 characters.

                                          as other said

                                          talk with characters 1 , 2 , 3, 4 and kiss in orcder of 4 , 3 , 2 , 1

                                          I killed her after

                                            Playing on PC (v3.6.69.4648), the exploit still works completely. One difference in the process, had to complete all of the steps individually; i.e. do the whole exploit with 1st character and finish quest, do the whole exploit with 2nd character and finish quest, etc. I got the 3 stat bumps, the con penalty, the money and the idol with all 4 characters. I kept everyone else far away except for the one doing the teleporting. Once Dorotya turns back from chasing you, she talks to the teleporter and goes back to her walking routine. Her complaining doesn’t interrupt the exploit.

                                            • The cheese to get all the options doesn't seem to work, however, you can still get multiple idols.
                                              Talk to her, choose the correct option, finish convo stating you want the kiss. After she walks away to the spot, move your character to a different position. She will get bored, after a min, and return to her room. After she resets herself, repeat the process until all 4 characters have chosen the idol option. Then one-by-one finish the quest and get the idols.

                                                Ok, here's what's up. May 27, 2021. PS5, fully updated
                                                The exploit still works with a caveat, the finesse gain would not proc for anyone, but all others did,
                                                +2 st, +2 int, -2 con, +2 wit, 5k exp, each and 4 total rebirth idols.

                                                I BELIEVE, you need to make sure whoever does the teleportation spell is outside her path when she follows character 1. If she comes to them and says something like, "someone is teleporting mid conversation", reload.

                                                          this article contradicts itself "If you hire a mercenary on the Lady Vengeance, you can no longer use them to complete the quest. The dialog appears to complete, but there is no option to look into her ring." "If you hire mercenaries, they can help you earn those idols without any cost."

                                                            So, a heads up for anyone that used the JOYLESS BEGINNINGS mod to skip Act 1: You won't have any accomplishments to continue the dialogue to do this quest until you win the Driftwood Arena fight.

                                                            Exploit refreshed so you don't have to scroll way down:
                                                            0. Have all other party characters away from the one speaking to Dorotya. 1. Speak with her with first character and choose one bonus, (don't continue dialogue after that) then teleport first character away, wait until she stops walking towards you, and speak to her again. Dialogue should start from beginning. 2. Choose another bonus and teleport away. 3. Repeat with ALL characters until you have chosen all bonuses with each character, and then continue with the quest. 4. Meet her (solo) with each character and let her kiss you (fane will need to transform with the mask).
                                                            Result: +2 str, +2 int, +2 wit, -2 con, 2k gold for each character & Glowing idol of rebirth x4 (5 if you steal the one on her before acquiring one from the quest, but why would you need 5?)

                                                                to get 5 glowing idols of rebirth: steal the first one and then use the exploit discussed below to accept every gift but DONT follow through until all 4 party members have accepted. The option to receive the idol does not disappear until someone actually receives it. Then, once everyone has every option selected, finish the quest for all characters to recieve 4 extra idols. works in DE as of 10/26/20

Even if you don't want the perk on a character you can just take one that boosts a stat you have points in and then move 2 points out of the boosted stat into constitution for net 0 stat change, this way you still get the 5000 xp for completing the quest on everyone

                                                                  • Anonymous

I just waited for her to walk back to her room each time, and she gave each character (4 3 2 1) a second chance for the kiss.

                                                                    • Anonymous

Just to add that if you happen to have the skill 'Resposition' (to switch positions of two allies or yourself and the other ally), it works as well. And you don't have to repost your characters far away (tested distance is abou 2m between the two characters).This is a better approach as it's quicker than using teleporation. But I'm not sure if this skill is in the vanilla game or in a mod I use.

                                                                      • Anonymous

I got it to work. I don't know if these minor details matter but what I made sure to do: 1. teleport immediately after selecting your reward (don't click "Continue"), 2. don't switch back to the character until the teleportation is done.

                                                                        • Anonymous

All you need is another player with Teleportation gloves / skill to break the conversation of the beneficiary character right after that character makes the choice.

                                                                          • Anonymous

Because if you really wanted +2 in something and -2 less con then why not just go to the mirror? just seems like a dumb deal. if it had been +3 in something and -2 in con then it would be more worth because it would just mean a free point but this just seems like a crappy thing. Just pickpocket the idol and then kill her for the daggers and other stuff. In fact kill everybody down there. why not

                                                                            • Anonymous

                                                                                  • Anonymous

I think what some people are failing to understand is when to teleport the speaking character. Immediately after you make your choice of stat, teleport the speaking character about a screen's distance away and it will break the conversation. Speak to her again with the same character and make a different choice and repeat until you have selected all the choices. Then follow her to her den and let her kiss you. Do this will all of your characters and all of them will have 4 spiders kiss talents but only minus 2 constitution. They will also received the gold and the glowing idol. If you pickpocket the idol before hand as well, you will have 5 idols. Which is pretty awesome.

                                                                                    • Anonymous

                                                                                      • Anonymous

The game already offers "little" challenge (2 lone-wolf party on tactician) and the combat is what I enjoy the most. The +2 str/int on melee/mage is already excellent as you're able to get further above the stat limit.

                                                                                        • Anonymous

I know that when inviting a companion to rejoin your party, if your main has more XP when the companion rejoins, then that companion will get an XP boost to match the main's XP. I'm also wondering if the main's XP could be boosted through this method. To test, you would need to have a companion complete the quest for 5000 XP, and then immediately dismiss and reinvite that companion. Unfortunately, I can't test because I'm playing an Honour mode run, and I didn't think of testing this until after I had already saved :(

                                                                                          • Anonymous

If you do the talk-and-teleport trick correctly, you will receive all the bonuses AND will receive the idol also. for all 4 characters in your party. Yes, you sacrifice 2 pts to constitution on each character. You'll know if you got all 4 items for a character if you look at their talent list and see 4 Spider's Kiss talents for each character.

                                                                                            • Anonymous

Did not break their chat. Attacking Soeortya also does not break the chat, the others in the tavern attack my other three characters. If I follow up with the chat and accept the kiss even after teleporting, she moves to the secluded spot ready to kiss.

Carry out the dialog make your choice until she asks for the kiss. Teleport your character at this stage. She will complain but just run through the dialog again and choose the next option. Once you get to the last option say yes as normal and it will give you all 5 bonuses.Just confirmed on DE PS4

The first 2 stat bonuses cancel out, & are the same as you going to the mirror & dropping CON 2 pts to put it somewhere else. Either do all of them, or do none & kill her.

When I hear her say : a Kiss. I TP my guy away and I repeat until I have them all ( like others said she sometimes comes at you saying she doesn't like it when you TP mid conversation). Then on my last guy I decided to pick the option where I was fighting her. Since I had more initiative than her, I started the combat , I killed her in one hit in human form got 3k , she transformed into her spider form 1 hit her again got 3k exp then she used her Idol to comeback to life for a 3rd time, but I didn't get any exp for killing her the 3rd time. So in total I got 5k for finishing the quest with a character, 3k for killing her in human form and 3k for killing her in spider form for a total of 11k exp for 1 character I tried this on 3/10/2020

All you need is 2 teleportation users. Perhaps other means work too 1. Speak her with first character and choose one bonus, (dont continue dialogue after that) then teleport first character away and speak to her again. Dialogue should start from beginning. Then choose other bonus and teleport away. 2. Repeat until you have choosed all bonuses and then continue with the quest. Don't kill her at the end 3. Now do the same thing with second character and third and fourth 4. Now you have +2 strength, intelligence and wits. 2000gold and glowing idol on all characters. With just -2 constitution. It will show 4 spider's Kiss talents on talent list. 5. You can now pickpocket her for one more glowing idol. 6. Kill her for extra loot/exp I tested this on patch 1.10 Ps4 version" This does indeed work on PC I was surprised. I now have 5 Idols and all the attribute points and gold on 4 characters. Just a PSA she will scold you for teleporting out of conversations but this does not effect the outcome. Having trouble finding what build I am on but current build as of this post.

To save a bit of time, you can teleport the current character closer and closer to her kissing booth 3. No need for 2 teleport characters if you have the teleport gloves, which you can pass around for a discount on its cooldown 4. Works with bigger parties (tested with the 6 origins ones)

                                                                                                                    • Anonymous

All you need is 2 teleportation users. Perhaps other means work too 1. Speak her with first character and choose one bonus, (dont continue dialogue after that) then teleport first character away and speak to her again. Dialogue should start from beginning. Then choose other bonus and teleport away. 2. Repeat until you have choosed all bonuses and then continue with the quest. Don't kill her at the end 3. Now do the same thing with second character and third and fourth 4. Now you have +2 strength, intelligence and wits. 2000gold and glowing idol on all characters. With just -2 constitution. It will show 4 spider's Kiss talents on talent list. 5. You can now pickpocket her for one more glowing idol. 6. Kill her for extra loot/exp I tested this on patch 1.10 Ps4 version

All characters completed the ritual and have Spiders Kiss Talent. Should n't ALL characters have an Idol of Rebirth in their inventories?

AMAZING! Reading books in this game is awesome, it makes the exploration even deeper and more interesting.

As stated by another comment below: 1. Speak with Dorotya and select the "Transparent Chrysalis" option. 2. Don't follow her to the other room to kiss and allow her time to walk back to her room. 3. Repeat step one and two with a different character - and repeat further until your final character. 4. Follow her to the room and kiss with your final character. 5. Allow her time to return to her room and in reverse order as to how you began, speak to Dorotoya and apologize to kiss her again. 6. Follow her to the room and kiss - then repeat (in reverse order as to how you begat) with your remaining characters. ** I did the above on 3/4 characters in my party. I then pick pocketed the idol from Dorotoya on the third character before following through with her giving it to me. This way, I did not have to lose constitution on all four charters, but still have four idols.

                                                                                                                            • Anonymous

                                                                                                                                • Anonymous

There is no option to gaze upon her ring if I'm using a merc. Even tried doing with every party member, yet still can't do it with mercs...

                                                                                                                                  • Anonymous

                                                                                                                                    • Anonymous

                                                                                                                                      • Anonymous

                                                                                                                                        1. Do it with as many mercs as possible to get massive number of idols
                                                                                                                                        2. Do it again for all your characters with +x in whatever is the most useful for each -> what you really get is 2 more attribute points you can distribute semi-freely (if you find you don't need much constitution, leave it at -2, otherwise you can always use the respec mirror)

                                                                                                                                        -2 CON isn't bad anyway, since the mechanics of combat more or less revolve around keeping your armor up.

                                                                                                                                        • Anonymous

                                                                                                                                            You can get gold and idol's from any merc's you can hire. So what I found that works is to hire four mercs and have them get the kiss for the idol. then hire the rest of the mercs for the gold. It cost 1750 per merc to hire. However, you get 2000 gold from the kiss. That's 175 gold profit. Then you take the gear off the merc when you disband them and sell the gear for around 1200-1500 gold. I had 8320 gold to start and finished with 20,394. That's a 12,074 gold profit. Not too bad at all!! Just remember that this all depends on your attitude with the vender as well as your bartering skill. I had 100% attitude and lvl 5 bartering when I sold all the gear. Not to bad of a profit for 30 min of you time. Also, just note that you will only be able to do the kiss once with each type of merc you hire. So I would recommend to save before starting this process. Also, make sure you have Fane's mask of the Shapeshifter. Some of the mercs are undead and will agro some of the npc's in the undertavern. I did this and left my main characters without the kiss as to not get the -2 con penalty. Good luck and hope this helps!

And when you kiss her, she gives you the “Kiss of Death”. A popular song by Warlock.

This is the equivalent of just going to the mirror and taking a few points out of con and distributing it to your fellow attributes. The idol I suppose, but seriously? I saw "werespider" and when my friend was shrieking in panic I was like, "There is only one logical conclusion to this; SPIDER-PERSON!"

                                                                                                                                                I never knew I wanted to be a werespider until that very moment. How could you tease me like this, game? *Sigh*

                                                                                                                                                I suppose now, on all levels but physical I am a spider.

If so this might have some use. But I think it still seem a little under welming but then again the quest is only a minute long. Be nice if there are more ways to do stuff like this to further increase stats via quests-reward talents.
                                                                                                                                                    LIKE FOR EXAMPLE: Add a upgrade to the spider kiss talent that increases it to +4, +6,+8 and like I said hopefully this allows you to go over the 40 max cap. Because if it don'y then its really pointless.

This requires only 1 AP in battle, so this item alone can help you win fights you might otherwise have a lot of trouble with, as long as you spend the 1 AP each time recharging the Idol.
