“In a journal I found hidden in farmer Jackson's cellar, I read a gripping story about an affair that Dana Jackson had with a man called Boothe. Carl killed the man and burried him on his farm. I could give this information to Guard Captain Rodney directly, or confront Carl.
„—Quest log
Skeletons in the Closet is a side quest in Divinity II: Ego Draconis.
Quick Walkthrough[]
- Mindread Dana (Ego Draconis version only)
- Enter the Jackson's farm
- Pick up the key to the basement
- Read Carl Jackson's diary
- Either:
- Confront and bribe Carl Jackson.
- Confront and kill Carl
- Give Rodney the diary.
Detailed Walkthrough[]
Enter the Jackson's farm's main building and on the rafter to the southwest, above two stacked boxes the key to the basement can be seen. Jump up to the rafter, collect the key and in the southern corner the basement door can be found. Unlock the door and head into the cellar; there is a table at the far end on the right on which Farmer Jackson's diary is place. Pick up the book and read it and the truth about Carl is revealed: he is a jealous husband who murdered Boothe, the man Dana was having an affair with.
From here the Dragon Slayer has two primary choices: confront Carl, or speak to Captain Rodney and show him the evidence of Carl's crimes. If Carl is confronted any option with the exception of bribery will result in the farming attempting to kill the Slayer and he will need to be killed. Demanding a bribe will result in a bribe being paid, however it is still possible to arrange for Rodney to arrest Carl.
If the decision instead was made to inform Rodney, head to the barracks and enter on the ground floor. Rodney can be found in the guards quarters on this level, sat at the bench near the archway to the turret. Speak to him and show him the diary. He will then head to the farm and arrest Carl, imprisoning him in the barrack's jail.
