Updated:
  • An Existential Crisis is a side-quest in Divinity: Original Sin 2
  • You can acquire this quest when you approach a grave at Stonegarden [X:625, Y:153].
  • Suggested level: 11
  • Act 2

Summary

We heard a voice call to us from a grave within the Stonegarden. Dig up the grave and a skeleton named Crispin will appear, claiming to be a philosopher, and challenges you to a duel of wits.

NPC

  • Crispin

Walkthrough

  1. If you are undead just select the [UNDEAD] option and you will beat him.
  2. If you don't have an undead you will need to find and read the 3 volumes of The Essence of Existence in Ryker's mansion first.
  3. It is also possible to answer the first question correctly as a [JESTER] or [BARBARIAN], second as [MYSTIC] or [OUTLAW], and third as a [SCHOLAR]. No character has these 3 tags, so some books will need to be read
  4. The interacting party member will explode if you pick a wrong answer.

  5. Answering all 3 questions correctly will complete the quest.
