How to use Caine
Caine's route starts with Cor Kalom in the Swamp Camp. Search the hut near the swampweed mashers, take the drawing to Lester, then use the Abandoned Mine route near the Exchange Zone. Bring healing, save before the underwater gate, defeat the undead orc in the ruins, and return the Strange Amulet to Cor Kalom.
Keep the drawing and Strange Amulet until The Lost Apprentice is complete. Make a separate save before asking Orry for mine access and before crossing the underwater gate.
The Abandoned Mine is a long water-and-ruin route with a boss at the end. Entering with low healing, no combat plan, or no return save can turn one quest step into a full retreat.
Use normally, still save-check big commitments Keep the drawing and Strange Amulet until The Lost Apprentice is complete. Make a separate save before asking Orry for mine access and before crossing the underwater gate.

Players who have been told to find Caine and cannot identify the correct Swamp Camp hut or mine entrance.
- Ask Cor Kalom about Caine in the Swamp Camp to start The Lost Apprentice.
- From the entrance near Lester, follow the water past the swampweed mashers, pass the first hut, and enter the second hut on the right.
- Take the drawing inside, show it to Lester at the entrance, then travel to the Abandoned Mine near the Exchange Zone.
- Ask Orry for access, swim through the mine, collect the Detached Winch from the central pool, and attach it above the underwater gate.
- Continue to the ruins, defeat the undead orc guarding Caine, take the Strange Amulet, and report back to Cor Kalom.
Save before Orry's dialogue, before the underwater gate, and before entering the ruins so a failed fight does not erase the whole traversal.

The Swamp Camp Clue
Caine is easy to miss because the useful hut is not at the first landmark. Start at the entrance where Lester stands, follow the water toward the swampweed mashers, pass the first hut, and check the second hut on the right. The drawing inside is the handoff that turns a vague search into a mine route.
- Start NPC: Cor Kalom.
- Clue handoff: Lester at the Swamp Camp entrance.
- Keep the drawing until the mine route is open.
Mine Preparation
The Abandoned Mine section combines access dialogue, underwater traversal, a winch puzzle, and an undead-orc fight. Fire Bolt or another dependable ranged option can help, but every save should be checked against the tools and spells available in your current build.
