How to complete One Last Drink quest in Avowed

One Last Drink is a side quest in Avowed that can be accepted by a lonely captain in Shatterscarp's hub city of Thirdborn. However, the quest evolves into something else as you're trying to complete it, and there's one part that can give you some serious trouble.

To see how to complete One Last Drink in Avowed, keep reading the guide below.

One Last Drink quest guide in Avowed

You can start One Last Drink by speaking to Captain Ngunu, who is standing in the back corner of the Swordfish bar in Thirdborn. The bar is on the back right side of the city and you can easily find Captain Ngunu by looking for the exclamation point icon on your map.

When you speak to Captain Ngunu, you'll learn that he's an old ship captain who is just looking to have one more drink with his estranged crew. The crew and the captain went their separate ways years ago for various reasons, and he's tasked you with getting them back to Thirdborn for one final drink. When Captain Ngunu is done explaining, make sure you ask about each individual crew member for some additional backstory on their location and why they're not speaking to the captain.

After you're done with the captain, you can track the One Last Drink quest from your journal in Avowed. The quest gives you three markers on your map that show the general location of all three crew members. They are scattered all around Shatterscarp, so let's go over where to find each member and how to convince them to come have a drink with Captain Ngunu.

Tauwe

First up is the easiest of the three crew members to find and recruit, Tauwe. Tauwe is located right in the center of the Sand Sea Oasis, which is found to the northeast of Thirdborn and south of the Shark's Teeth region. In the Sand Sea Oasis, you'll find Tauwe tending to a campfire near the front of a crystal clear blue pond. This pond is also where you can find a piece of the Totem of Revelations.

Fortunately, Tauwe doesn't need any convincing to come back and have a drink with the captain. All you need to do is mention the captain wants to have a drink, and the old crew member will agree to return to Thirdborn. However, he doesn't think you'll be able to get the other two crew members to follow suit. Once Tauwe agrees, you can leave the Sand Sea Oasis to find those remaining crew members.

Kowha

Next up is Kowha, who is conveniently located just north of Tauwe in the Shark's Teeth part of Shatterscarp. You'll have to travel to the northern tip of Shark's Teeth to find Kowha, who is distraught over dreamthralls taking over his friends. To talk more to Kowha, you need to eliminate all of the dreamthralls in the area just beyond where he's standing.

You have to eliminate the dreamthralls in the bottom area of his location as well as the ones that are located on the top part. To get to the top part, climb the wooden planks that are found on the northern wall of the bottom area. Once all the dreamthralls are eliminated, you can return to Kowha and ask him to reunite with Captain Ngunu. Kowha believes Ngunu is trying to murder him, but he reluctantly agrees to return to Thirdborn to confront the captain.

Ruanga

Finally, we have the toughest member to both find and recruit for One Last Drink. Ruana is located in the Abandoned Mine part of Shatterscarp, which is located just to the north of Thirdborn. However, the Abandoned Mine is found in the heart of a mountain and there's seemingly no way to get through and reach the mine.

Fortunately, all you need to do is go to the party camp waystone that's located directly south of the mine. From there, walk west and hug the mountain on your right side. Eventually, you'll see the bones of a lizard on the mountain wall. Right beneath the bones is a small crevice that you can go through to reach the Abandoned Mine.

Inside the mine, head up the wooden scaffolding that's located on the opposite side from where you came in and go in the small cave on your left. Here, you'll find Ruanga, who also thinks that Captain Ngunu has been trying to murder her. Unfortunately, you won't be able to convince Ruana to return to Thirdborn and share a final drink with the captain. She warns you against trusting him before you leave as well.

Finishing One Last Drink in Avowed

The second-to-last step of the One Last Drink quest is optional, and it will alter the outcome of the quest. After speaking to all three crew members, you can head back to Thirdborn and investigate the lighthouse located above the Fleetmaster's Perch. At the top of the lighthouse, use some lockpicks to open up a lockbox and find a vial of Ngunu's Poison inside. You can also find a book called "Perilous Plants and Where to Pick Them" on a desk nearby. Grab both of these items before leaving the lighthouse.

This essentially confirms that Ngunu is planning to kill all of the crew members who go to Thirdborn to have a drink with the captain. With this new information, you can return to Ruanga and hatch a plan to turn the tables on the captain. Ruanga agrees and she will now go to Thirdborn. The plan is to poison Ngunu and Tauwe and save Kowha since Tauwe and the captain seem to be on the plan together.

Once you have spoken to all three crew members and/or completed the optional step, you can return to Thirdborn. Inside the bar, you'll be asked by the bartender to bring some drinks to Captain Ngunu, who is already meeting with his crew in the upstairs part of the building.

You can deliver the drinks, which prompts you to make a choice. You can either give Ruanga and Kowha the poisoned rum or give Ngunu and Tauwe the poisoned rum. You can make a choice between what side you want to pick, but you're essentially killing half of the crew. After you make your choice, the crew will toast, and two of them will die.

If you skip the optional step of finding the poison, Runaga will never show up and Kowha will die after drinking the rum. Ngunu barely even comments on this, and the One Last Drink quest ends in Avowed. Any way it plays out and regardless of who you kill, you earn roughly 200 XP for completing the side quest. Ngunu will also give you the Ring of Prosperity's Fortune for your efforts before he dies, if you take that route.
