Welcome to our walkthrough for Styx: Blades of Greed. In this part of the walkthrough, we complete the quest Smugglers’ Goods and get the second shard of Quartz at the Empire Wall.
Table of contents
Once you get kicked out of Harlow’s hideout. If you check to your left with Quartz compass you will see the quest for the Smugglers’ goods.
Smugglers’ Goods
Reach the shard of Quartz
Jump over to the building on the left and head down the stairs. Stick to the left of this area and keep going past the waterfall and you will hear a guard talk about Akenash.
You can directly head down from here. So look for an alternate path – there are paths both to the left and right here. If you go to the right and up the stairs and around the back and up the stairs again. You can lockpick the door up and head inside. Stick to the rafters of this building and you will find an open window.
You can drop a level from the outside through this window. Go to the far right and use the cover of the boxes to drop down.
You can’t drop down the sides anymore because they’re spiked. So go down the stairs and you will see a large enemy. Wait for him to pass and go around to find the stairs leading down. Note that you will survive the jump from here, if you choose to bypass this level and just chug a health potion after the rough landing. Depending on how you get to the smugglers’ hideout, there are 4 guards up front.
So head to the back. There are patrolling guards there, but if you vault over the small wall at the back and enter through the opening in the wall, you can get in unnoticed.
Find clues to reach the shard of Quartz
Once inside, you will notice a base for a statue on the right, on a shelf.
If you go upstairs and read the diary on the table, you will have two options: “Find the statuette to activate the mechanism” or “Spy on the smugglers.” If you want to spy on the smugglers, use Amber Vision to follow their footsteps.
Spy on the smugglers
The shipyard is the building across the hideout. You can go there and spy on the two guys talking about the quartz and follow them back by taking the high route.
Hide in the barrel, and they will open the door for you. Once the big guy leaves, kill the guy standing guard. Absorb the quartz and you should be done.
Find the Statuette
The alternate option is to find the statue. Head outside and go to the roof of the hideout. At the back you will find Alchemy Father and Son.
There are two guards inside. So just use the small window on top. Once inside take out both guards and pick up the statue from the table.
Head back and use the statue to open the door and absorb the quartz.
That concludes the fourth part of our walkthrough from Styx: Blades of Greed.
