Memory of the Deep quest guide in Avowed

One of the first side quests you can encounter when you arrive in Emerald Stair in Avowed is called "Memory of the Deep." The quest begins by speaking to a farmer named Josep Abaccio and seems simple at first, but it turns complicated in a hurry. To see how to complete Memory of the Deep and all of its outcomes in Avowed, check out the quest guide below. How to complete Memory of the Deep in Avowed To start Memory of the Deep, visit the Coastal Farmlands area of Emerald Stair, which is one of the first locations you can reach after stepping foot in the region. In the farmlands, find Josep Abaccio, a farmer who has a problem with revenants disappearing from his land. Revenants are undead, plant-like zombies that the animancers in Emerald Stair have charmed into working for them. Josep Abaccio starts the Memory of the Deep quest.

He tasks you with figuring out where the revenants are disappearing to and to try and bring them back to him. The farmer's theory is that the revenants are drawn to the nearby Lake Lacuna, so he suggests you head there to search. When you arrive at the lake, you'll run into a new character called the Giftbearer, who is surrounded by Josep's former revenants. This mysterious NPC tells you there is a Meteorite he needs from the bottom of the lake and you theorize that this object is what has been drawing the revenants to the location. The Giftbearer agrees with that theory, but he wants the Meteorite for himself. Of course, Joseph will also want the Meteorite to ensure his revenants stay with him.

It's lying on the bottom of a hole in the middle of the lake and you'll have enough air to go down and come back up if you solely go for the Meteorite. Once you have it in hand, you have a choice to make. You can either bring the Meteorite to Josep or the Giftbearer. I'll go over the outcomes of both decisions below: Bring the Meteorite to Josep - You can explain to Josep that the Meteorite is dangerous, but he'll still want it so he can study its properties. If you hand it over to him, you'll receive 550 gold and the Chanter's Panpipes trinket as a reward. No matter how hard you persist, Josep will always want the Meteorite, so there's no way for you to keep it. Josep is happy to hear you found the Meteorite.

You can hand the rock to the NPC and he will sail on his way, completing the quest and giving you the same rewards as Josep offers. However, you can also agree to a new arrangement, where the Giftbearer will remove one of your memories instead of taking the Meteorite. The memory you choose to erase doesn't matter, but you have four to choose from. If you make this choice, the Giftbearer will sail away, leaving you with the Meteorite. You can then take it to Josep to complete the Memory of the Deep quest. The Giftbearer can erase one of your memories.

I decided to have the Giftbearer erase a painful memory of mine and then return the Meteorite to Josep, as it seemed like he needed it more. However, you can just as easily deliver the Meteorite to the Giftbearer and watch him sail away, never to be seen again in Avowed.
