Withermoore's Soul (Quest Broken)

[Фіteon]

What is the correct way to finish this quest?

Firstly I pulled the spear from Withermoore and after I tried to find his soul and when I found his soul jar, I smashed.
When I returned to talk with Withermoore he had already died.
The problem is not this, the problem is the quest is still open

You could goggle search and get a quicker answer

I think you lost your time to answer this. At least, you could answer what I had asked.
I have already searched on google and I didn't find any substantial information.

Smashing the jar kills the people whose souls are in them. You have to take the jar back to him and either open it yourself or let him open it (I believe it's that latter when you tell him you have it but it's been so long since I did this quest I can't remember clearly) That might even be wrong as well, now that I've thought about it I think absorbing the essence kills them :shrug: hope this helps maybe? Try taking his jar back to him intact and see if that fixes it.

I don’t believe you can take the jar, you either smash it or release it. Either way, that’s the end of the quest as Withermore dies either way.

If the quest in the journal isn’t marked as being closed just ignore it. You’re not missing out on anything further.

It's possible to take the jars with you, once the dialogue option plays where it gives you the glimpse into the persons soul your options are: 1) absorb the soul for a source point 2) smash the jar or 3) take the jar with you. Bringing Gratiana's soul jar to her is a way to complete her quest. The link below is to a walkthrough that highlights bringing her jar to her.

Granted they're all pretty crappy people (or were) smashing them all or absorbing for source are all viable options as well. :) I know you might have to pas a dialogue check to get Gratiana's quest but I don't believe there are any checks to remove the jars.

We’re not talking about Gratiana or the soul jars you find with hers. This is Withermoore. I don’t believe his jar can be taken.

Oh geez his is in a different place altogether isn't it lol, it's been awhile like I said. My apologies for my fault memory :) I bet you're right Chaoslink.

His jar can't be taken, but once you break it and Withermoore dies, the quest isn't over just yet. It will be over once he has the opportunity to help you back for what you've done for him.

Once you reach Braccus Rex Tower, try interacting with the source barrier with a character that doesn't have any source

Actually it took less time to google the quest than it took to leave my original comment. If you googled and nothing came up you might want to replace the batteries in your googler.

Guys, thank for your commentaries. In a way or another, they were helpful. :P
Btw, The other option was "do nothing" or something like that.

I know this is 3 years old now, but it still shows up on google when looking for the answer. So I'll add that you can easily use the actions button (I use console so idk what the pc version is, but it's the menu that has "pick up, pick up and add to wares, move, Attack, hold in hand, examine", for playstation that's the Square button) and pick the soul jar up that way.

If you have it in your inventory and speak to withermoore, he will only ask you to destroy it. Your only options then are to destroy the jar for him, or refuse (claiming you think it is worth something) causing him to Attack you. If you put it down in front of him, he will have no reaction. Destroying the soul jar where you find it, in front of him, while talking to him, or in the swamp, all make no difference.

Unlike the other 3 undead, withermoore can be killed without destroying his soul jar, and when he dies, his soul jar becomes an empty soul jar (no idea if it serves any purpose then)

So you really only have 3 choices.

1) destroy the soul jar (it doesn't matter when or where). You gain 1,400 xp, and his help later (which isn't really needed all that much)

2) kill Withermoore in combat. You gain 1,600 xp, and can keep the empty soul jar for whatever reason.

3) wait till your collar is removed, and eat his soul. You gain 1,000 xp, and 1 source point. (just like you do whenever you drink a soul jar)

In all 3 outcomes, you can still Loot his body for his belt, and while all 3 of my companions said it would be cruel not to smash it, nobody commented on me eating it or killing him, and they all enjoyed the feeling they got when we ate his soul 🤷
