Divinity: Original Sin 2 - How To Get The Ship Moving

This guide details how to get the Elven ship, Lady Vengeance, sailing in Divinity: Original Sin 2 after escaping Fort Joy. The process involves a series of puzzles and interactions.

Quick Links

• Investigate Dead Bodies
• Find the Stateroom Door
• Find the Songbook
• Set Sail

After removing your Source collar, your goal is to navigate the Lady Vengeance. Unlike typical ships, controlling it requires an unconventional method: finding and using the Ancient Empire Songbook within Magister Dallis' cabin.

Investigate Dead Bodies

Begin by searching the bodies of the magisters and gheists on deck. A Sodden Diary, found on a corpse, contains the password to a stateroom door. Alternatively, a skill check on the northern stateroom door reveals the same password. You'll also need a Strange Gem, found later, to access this door. A magic mirror nearby allows for respeccing characters.

Find the Portside Stateroom Door

Using the password from the diary (or skill check), and the Strange Gem (obtained from examining Bishop Alexander's regalia in the ship's quarters), unlock the southern stateroom door. The password is "Fortitude." Inside Magister Dallis' cabin, you'll find more clues and a hidden hatch containing gheists and a Teleportation Prism.

Find the Ancient Empire Songbook

Inside Dallis' cabin, speak to Tarquin and Dallis, then locate the Ancient Empire Songbook on a pedestal. Reading it reveals the song needed to move the ship. It's advisable to speak to all NPCs before proceeding, as interaction becomes impossible once the ship sets sail.

Set Sail

Return to the deck and inform Malady about the songbook. She'll ask you to sing to the ship. Find the dragon figurine to the west and use it to sing the song. The Lady Vengeance will begin to move, but be prepared for an immediate ambush from powerful magisters. Ensure your party is well-equipped before setting sail.
