The Secrets of the Dwarves Walkthrough
There are multiple ways to acquire this quest, most predominantly if you did the quest with Lohar back in Act II, finding out that there is a cache of Deathfog barrels headed to Arx. Ultimately though, you'll want to get into the wedding site in Arx, so head over there. Note that this quest is closely related to the "Blood Dowry" quest and is recommended to be done in conjunction with it, but they are not the same, though both take place in the same area.
Unfortunately, you won't be allowed into the wedding area. There are also multiple ways to get into the wedding site without triggering combat, with the easiest way simply passing a speech check with the guard at the door to let you in. You can also pass a speech check with a drunken dwarven woman outside the building (at around co-ordinates X:322, Y:299) to get her invitation so the guard will let you in, or you pick the door next to the wolf carriage, or you can sneak through the backyard of the loremaster house, and into the wedding area as shown in the picture below:
Alternatively, if you can't jump over the walls, you can also get in there through the sewers, as shown in the picture below, but be very careful of the fog-swollen spiders, since when they are killed their corpse will exude a small deathfog, killing all living beings in it. You will end up in Micheil Ros cellar. This is arguably the most tedious option.
Ultimately, simply enter the wedding site, and you'll find many dead bodies. You can interact with the statue at this point and pass a wits speech check to find out that there is death fog underground. You can cast Spirit Vision here and see the spirits of the guests, but they will yield no real information and are just source food. You can speak to the dwarves here for more information, but this is optional.
Interact with the huge wedding cake in the center, and it will cause an explosion, and some wind-up toys will appear and attack. After you killed them, a guard will hurry in due to the commotion and you can take this opportunity to ask him where the cake came from. He will tell you that a man known as the Doctor sent in the cake. This Doctor is the very same one afflicting Lohse in her personal quest.
Now you'll have to enter the sewer, then head to Queen Justinia's court. One location of a sewer entrance is shown in the picture below. If you've solved "Blod Dowry" in Micheil Ros' favor and promise to talk to Queen Justinia he will allow you to enter the lower level of the sewers directly through is cellar. He will also hand you a key.
As you traverse the sewers, be very careful of the various traps lurking about. In the picture below, you can either lockpick the suspicious hole in the wall, or use the sewer key from Micheil Ros or the one found near the web area in the sewers. An Iron door blocks the way to the west to the lab. One of the preasure plates at the other end of the room opens the door. You can also teleport or fly a member around and hit the lever. Head inside and down the stairs into the lab.
You will come to Queen Justinia's court. Here, although initially her advisor Isbeil will praise your past accomplishments, she will eventually reveal herself to be an enemy, and you'll realize that the Queen has been manipulated by her advisor all along. Regardless of the options you pick or whether you pass the various speech check options, the outcome will be the same: Isbeil will cast a powerful spell, stunning everyone, and you'll wake up some time later in her laboratory.
In her lab, she will rouse you from your coma and reveal her true undead self, before subjecting you to a series of tortures (though interestingly, if you are undead, the tortures heal you and wouldn't kill you anyway and thus don't make much sense). After a while though, before the final deathfog experiment can happen, you will finally be able to break free of Isbeil's spell, and combat will ensue. Destroy her and her Black Ring followers. A well placed thunderstorm here will melt all your enemies and stun them constantly, giving you a huge advantage. In any case, each Black Ring follower is worth 107,800 XP (53,900 XP DE Edition) each (there are 4), while Isbeil herself is worth 149,850 XP (74,925 XP DE Edition). Killing her will immediately update the quest, giving you yet another 134,750XP (no XP DE Edition). The resulting grand total for killing them all is thus a whopping 715,800 XP.
After the battle is done, cast Spirit Vision and you can talk to Isbeil's spirit and learn the truth behind her fury and motivations for unleashing deathfog upon the magisters and paladins. There is a doomsday device near her, which you can use to unleash deathfog upon Arx. The results are that, obviously, everyone will die. Arx will become a complete ghost town if you do this, and render many quests uncompletable, if you have not already done them. You can still walk through some areas though, as the roads are not filled with deathfog. This walkthrough will continue on, assuming you did not choose to unleash the deathfog upon Arx.
Note: as of patch v3.0.158.595, Destroying Arx by releasing Deathfog will now make the player fail the Path of Blood
Assuming you didn't release the deathfog, head through the illusionary door in the picture below to find Queen Justinia. There is also another illusionary door at the other side (there are 2 in total), but be careful! This other illusionary door contains a sinister trap. Once you head in through this door, you'll see a lot of skeletons, hinting that something sinister is here. You will see a wooden door up ahead, but it is actually a trap that will release deathfog and wipe out your entire party! For obvious reasons, do not attempt to open the wooden door, and stick to this illusionary door in the picture below.
Once you enter through the door, you'll hear a loud crash, and Queen Justinia will come crashing in, demanding to know where Isbeil is. Simply tell her Isbeil is dead, and you can decide her fate. If you decide to kill her, she will attack you. She is worth 149,850XP (74,925 XP DE Edition), and the quest is complete when she dies. If you choose not to kill her, she will leave and you will earn a choice of Legendary-quality loot as a reward. You will not earn any XP though, but the quest is complete all the same.
Don't forget to explore the area, loot Isbeil's research notes, and read it for "The Missing Prisoners" quest.
Tips & Tricks
- You can use the "Tornado" skill to clear death fogs.
- If you want to spare Queen justinia, make sure to remove any deathfog before walking through the illusionary door and "spawning" her. The queen may walk into the fog and die. This rarely happens, though.
- Justinia could be upstairs in the Kemm mansion after the fight with Isbeil.
- Talk to Micheil Ros for an additional reward after you spare her.
- During the fight with Isbeil you can walk with one of your characters to room where Justinia is held and she will join the fight.
Rewards:
- A total of 715,800XP for killing the 4 Black Ring members and Isbeil (DE Edition 4 members 53,900 XP each and 74,925 XP for Isbeil).
- 149,850XP for killing Queen Justinia OR a choice of Legendary-quality loot for letting her live (74,925 XP DE Edition).
AnonymousIf you are playing a Sworn character here is another way to get out of the God Kings curse that lets the queen live. Playing DE with Fane (Sworn) and Beast, lone wolf build.
I placed a Pyramid outside in Arx, split the party, let Beast walk in Isbeils trap, teleported Fane to Beast for the fight but teleported Fane out again just before the last NPC died. The conversation with the god king didn’t trigger. Fane is safe to come back until you fumble with the deathfog machine, so I got him out again for that part.
This will probably work if the whole party gets trapped by Isbeil and the Sworn character is teleportet out before the fight ends, didn’t try it though.
Can i spare her and then kill in Kemms mansion to get additional experience?

Me and my homie were a bit lazy with this quest the other day so we just barged into the court without doing anything prior and cooked both Isbeil and Justinia with a couple of meteor showers without even talking to either of them, then went to the back and destroyed the doomsday device and got the 'Hero' tag in the process as cherry on top; the quest concluded as usual once we left the court.
Just an FYI in case someone else happens to be lazy as well - or is simply keen on solving every problem with superior firepower :p

If you run away from Isbeil's fight using the teleportation pyramids, she'll release the deathfog, instakilling everyone in your party (yes, even undead characters).
If you have an idol of resurrection, you will survive, and you can keep playing, but everyone in Arx will be ****ing dead

I haven't noticed mention of a neat little unique dialogue option for beast, if you either sneak in past the first guard to the queen by Phoenix dive, tactical retreat, etc. It will have one of the guards introduce beast with a royal court style naming, and titles that he has.

You can decide to kill Queen Justinia for 74k xp and then report back to Micheil Ros and lie to him that's she gone in hiding (Wits check) and get an additional 19k xp along with a couple choices for legendaries.

DE on PC. Kill Queen Justina grants only 74,945 XP. Spare her rewards you a few lv19 Legendary quality garbage. Ros will reward you even more Legendary garbage if you spare her. Ros will not turn hostile if you tell him Queen is dead.

For anyone wondering (as I was), the decision to send the deathfog to the sea vs. destroying the machine *does* appear to have an impact on certain endings.
**SPOILER ALERT**
If you become the Divine and Arx is otherwise intact (save for voidwoken attacks), and the deathfog is sent to the sea, you’ll be told that Arx was surrounded by deathfog and slowly withered away. The other ending is simply “Arx battled on.”

Don't go with all the party members in the chamber where you first meet Isbel and Justinia. Keep a thief character behind to loot the place after everyone is gone (and during the dialogue of your character that was previously set unconscious by Isbel). Inside a chest (I played Definitive Ed) there is a good One handed Mace named "Glaoch Girt", that has amongst others, stats for warfare and strength, and a socket. A character with high thievery can pick the lock of the chest that has the mace. You can then go and meet up with the rest of your party and Isbel.

If you have squishy characters whom are easily 1 hit KOed in the fight, you can detach them prior to entering the court and sneak them in after the main party gets stunned, giving you a sizable advantage to the fight.

I used bless twice on the cursed surface to keep my team safely in the pit. Then we took turns teleporting down the undead enemies who took damage from the healing blessed water/steam provides. Skin graft and source amulet were helpful for this

If you are talking about the iron door with the acid and arrows and pressure plates, you have to stand on the pressure plate on the other side of the room. I think it's the middle one closest to the far wall (far wall being the furthest from the door you are trying to get in). So the first row of 3 from that far wall, the middle pressure plate. It's a toggle button so you don't have to stay there or place a crate or anything. I just had one person run across the room to click it and then teleport him back to the others.
I'm typing this from memory so adjust for error.
Hope this helps.

My strategy for the battle against Isbeil was to use the pit that was meant for you, against them. Arm yourself/team with plenty of teleportation scrolls and dump her mobs in there. They will occasionally attempt to perform phoenix dive to get out but if you have sufficient enough scrolls you'll be able to teleport them back down again easily. The mobs are much weaker down in the pits and will only throw limited grenades or rebounding shields. Meanwhile concentrate on finishing off Isbeil then refocus on her mobs with your uphill advantage. Good idea to use poison/fire resistance potions as well. This battle is much easier if you prep and utilize scrolls/potions for sure.

Just a trick for the Isbeil's fight: Take one companion to room with Queen & isbeil. After Isbeil stuns you and brings you into another room, while on the dialog screen teleport other companions using pyramid. By this way, you will bypass the posion traps inside the room, Isbeil will teleport down. You probably will take her down in the first round.

Just as a PSA: If you kill Justinia and the quest does not close, interact with the Doomsday Device. You can opt to fog the city or redirect to the sea. I chose the sea option and it closed the quest for 135k~ xp

If you are playing on definitive edition and you can't find the key (brick) for the suspicious hole in the wall, it can be found on a dwarf corpse beside a buffet table, a short distance north from the wedding cake that explodes.

for some reason the quest won't update and complete itself for me , at the very end after justinia bashes through the door and i can choose to kill her or let her go. I chose to call her a traitor and she tries to justify her actions and attacks me and then i kill her, the quest stays open. it says deathfog rising : "isbeil is dead but the mad queen is still at large" but then under it, is dwarven politics (closed) : "queen justinia is dead" so the subquest closed, but the main quest doesn't seem to recognize that I killed her and it stays open

I have noticed that.... oh... every one of these bloody things are missing a key point in them, such as the damned door with the arrows, pressure plates, and poison darts that has the valve on the otherside of a locked door you cannot pick that's before the spot they show up there or talk about....

If you're using an Ashen Idol and your last character dies, then the Deathfog is released.

Easy way to cheese the fight is to send 1 companion in and run the conversation till your companion is in the trap. Send some up to sneak the upper right hand corner of the room then use teleportation pyramid. Once you get close enough your trapped companion should stand up and start combat by themself, this way only 1 character is in the pitt and you can get 3+ free attacks. Also line them up and use laser tag, then curse the fire.

Definitive Edition, if I opt to kill Justinia I get the XP, but if I opt to let her live I get no XP and no reward, legendary or otherwise. It might be related to dialogue choices, or to talking to the spirit of Isabeli before talking to Justinia - I reloaded a save, talked to Isabeli before Justinia, saved Justinia again, and got the reward.

The door just past the illusory door has an unpickable lock. Where is the key? I've searched all the bodies. They are empty, although Isbeil's body does not register as empty. In other words, even though it does not have the word (empty) after it, it still has nothing in her inventory. Justinia's body is empty. I searched the bedroom. I've even searched most of the barrels, although hopefully devs would be more logical than that.
- Anonymous
I think I may have a bug. There's a chest in the bedroom in the Court with Justinia and Isbeil that I can't find the key for. Isbeil's body doesn't say empty after i looted it, and when i go to loot it, there's nothing there. I'm just guessing the key to the chest (which can't be lock-picked) is on her body. I'm not sure what happened or if i did something wrong.

Why is the isbel fight so cheap? half my party gets obliterated turn 1 because they go low in the turn order and cant get out of the gallons of cursed poison before they turn it into a fire pit
- Anonymous
The end of this quest is very important/dangerous if you are sworn to the covenant. After killing Isbeil and destroying/rerouting the deathfog, the sworn will be indefinately cursed (probably until the Swornbreaker is used), which CAN NOT be healed by blessing. Teleporting away will be the same, so there is no way to avoid it if proceeding normally. The only way is to kill Isbeil and Justinia before being trapped (they can not be fought seperately anymore) and teleporting the sworn to another map. A different party member then has to deal with the deathfog. Returning to the map afterwards with sworn is safe.

Make sure to CLEAR ALL deathfog near the lab entrance. In my playthrough Justinia did not spawn after I entered the lab. By the time I figured out what happened I was too far ahead and Justinia spawns in Kemm's mansion. Talking to her there gives 0 exp and no loot whatsoever.

XP is way down, and it's all BS anyway. Only one character gets hit by Isbeil's stun yet we're all shocked, once again at a serious disadvantage because of height? Weak, at least they line up nicely for Epidemic of Fire and Fire Slug. It's getting really tiresome to see Charm not do any real switch to most enemies. they won't attack you but they won't help you either. Extremely cheap.

I cannot fathom why, but both Ifan and Beast want to gas the city with deathfog. Ifan's questline entirely revolves around how much he regrets being manipulated into using deathfog. Beast's entire motivation up until this point has been to stop Justinia from using deathfog on Arx. In fact, one room to the left of the machine Beast will yell at Justinia about protecting innocent lives from deathfog. Yet inexplicably, both want to use the deathfog on Arx. Why does their characterization do a complete 180 for one line of dialogue?

Ifan is my companion and I completed all of his story before arx. He absolutely hates deathfog. When talking to Justinia after the Isbeil fight he even says to kill her for wanting to use it. I interacted with the death machine and when all my companions remark on what to do with it, Ifan says along the lines of "Arx has done nothing good for us, release the death fog on them." WHAT???

I did not do this quest until after I'd talked to Micheil Ros, and he told me where the Queen was and gave me access to his kitchen hatch. I spared the Queen per his wishes, and she rewarded me with a choice of Legendary. I then destroyed the machine, letting it flood the room (it does not flood Isbeil's Lab or the room where you initially meet Justinia & Isbeil, so these are safe places to stay until it's done spreading and you can clear the fog). If you then return to Micheil Ros and tell him that the fog is taken care of and Justinia is hanging out at Kemm's place, he'll reward you again (this isn't in the log and doesn't give xp, but does give another choice of level 19 legendaries).

Note that if you release the Deathfog into the room, it will spill out from the machine, working its way towards the left and right and into the pit. Since both doorways are illusory, they do not stop the fog. I am uncertain if the "regular" doors do. The other point of note is that I split my party and had Fane break the machine, which is fine, however the fog has a moving spawn point at its edges (and possibly at other set locations) which means that using tornado or whatnot to remove the deathfog is only temporary while it is still leaking into the room. Has anyone waited until the sewer was full to return and clear the fog? Does the machine leak indefinitely?

In DE I just went through that second illusory door, and opened the wooden door, and there was poison but no Deathfog in the trap. My entire party was in there with me and we all walked right back out. Perhaps this was changed?

IF EVERYONE ATTACKS YOU: I tested a lot and it seems to be a bug in the room next to the one you first encounter Isbel and Justinia in. All items there are for some reason flagged red (have to steal). If you sneak in the area you can take almost every loot but for some reason the sneaking breaks close to one wall - the one were the big chest is. This causes you to be flagged as a thief and thats why everyone is attacking you.

I left the area after the Isbeil fight because I didn't know about the secret wall.. I came back later when trying to finish all quests and Queen Justinia was gone from the back area (although the journal and other stuff was still there). She appears on the 2nd floor of the Kemm mansion if this happens.
- Anonymous
Tip: Do not talk to Isbeil or Justinia and do not walk close to them. Kill them both right away. Here's why: If you talk to them, you will be transported to a pit and Justinia will kill her own guards (who betrayed her), so you don't get any xp by killing them yourself. What you should do is summon an Incarnate or two from far away, and command them to attack Isbeil. She will fight the Incarnates all by herself and die. And then attack Justinia and her guards. At level 20, you will get 13% more xp than doing it the normal way, because the guards were killed by you and not by Justinia.

When I attacked Isabeil with a ranged character before initiating the dialogue and ending up with her teleporting me to the pit of poison, Isabeil and only Isabeil (none of the guards or anything) initiates combat with me. After killing her, trying to talk to the Queen will cause her to run frantically around the room at hypersonic speeds until finally leaving through some kind of inaccessible passageway on the east end of the room. Really quite interesting.

I haven't seen anyone mention this bug: After killing Isbeil and not talking to her ghost or going to the hidden area or finding Justinia, all the Arx citizens and pilgrims will attack Beast on sight. I have to assume this is some bug because how could they know about the deathfog plot and all Arx is probably hostile to dwarves now. Finding Justinia and killing her fixes this luckily.

You can drop a barrel of deathfog at the hidden door, then you let justinia go for the legendary quest reward, then she runs into the dethfog and dies, and you get the exp from killing her, and you get to loot her. Worked at the time of posting this, might be changed in the future.

This quest is bugged to me. I killed isabeil and justinina was gone, couldn't find her in the sewers. Found her back in the mansion and she doesn't say anything but how grateful she's to kemm he's hosting her there. The guards go around and push me out of the room.
Just tested; you no longer get the EXP for Justinia dying in the deathfog while leaving. You can loot her though.

This quest is still bugged. I never found the secret room and upon confronting her in Kemm's mansion I can talk to her or kill her. Talking to her doesn't end the quest. If I go back to the secret room before talking to her, the game acts like she's there, but she isn't and I can't talk to her there either.
