Start The Focus Stones
The Focus Stones route begins after The Water Mages' Plan moves you toward Saturas and the New Camp. Do not start wandering for stones immediately; the quest works best when the companion setup is active first.
Report through Raven and Diego
After the story sends you back from the Swamp Camp sequence, report to Raven and speak with Diego so the Old Camp and New Camp story handoff is clear before you travel west.
Speak with Saturas
Find Saturas in the New Camp and accept the plan to recover the Focus Stones. This is the point where the main objective turns into four large location routes.
Meet the friends behind the lighthouse
Meet Diego, Milten, Lester, and Gorn behind the lighthouse before collecting stones. This conversation points each friend toward the route where he can help.
Four Focus Stone locations
Each stone is tied to a companion route. Keep supplies and a manual save before leaving camp, because these routes involve old ruins, magic, monsters, and puzzle spaces rather than simple map markers.
Monastery Ruins with Gorn
Gorn helps with the Monastery Ruins route. Expect a ruin puzzle and dangerous enemies, then search the interior carefully before leaving so you do not repeat the climb.
Troll Canyon with Milten
Milten's route points toward Troll Canyon and uses magic to make the fight manageable. Save before the encounter and check the area for the stone before returning.
Stone Circle with Diego
Diego helps at the Stone Circle. Treat the pillars and undead danger as the main route puzzle, and do not rush the final pickup before the objective updates.
Mountain Fortress with Lester
Lester's route leads to the Mountain Fortress. Bring a weapon that can handle hard targets, search the library space carefully, and leave only after the journal confirms progress.
Safe order and bug avoidance
Players have reported getting stuck when stones, companions, or Saturas dialogue fall out of sequence. The safest habit is to advance the quest text first, travel with the intended helper, and keep several manual saves.
Save before Saturas
Make a manual save before accepting or returning major Focus Stones steps. If dialogue fails to advance later, this gives you a clean point before the Chapter 3 routing starts.
Meet each helper before that stone
Avoid collecting stones early while exploring. Meet the friend assigned to the area, follow the route until the objective updates, then pick up that stone.
Return to the lighthouse if someone is missing
If a companion does not appear where expected, revisit the lighthouse meeting point, check whether Saturas gave the map objective, and confirm the previous story report was completed.
Return to Saturas
Once all four stones are accounted for, return to Saturas in the New Camp. This is also a good point to resolve camp business because Chapter 3 pushes the wider story into more dangerous faction consequences.
Hand in the complete set
Return the recovered Focus Stones to Saturas after the four routes are complete. If the dialogue is not available, check your journal and inventory before assuming the quest is broken.
Check Cronos and Riordian
After the hand-in, check New Camp mages such as Cronos and Riordian for follow-up rewards, supplies, and preparation before continuing the next story request.
Prepare for Old Camp consequences
The story soon makes Old Camp access and mage politics more sensitive. Finish purchases, training, and conversations you care about before pushing the main quest too far.
