Reunion is the required Chapter 2 quest that follows Memory Fragment in Crimson Desert. Leave Lioncrest Watchtower, speak to Rulupee and Jiji, follow the black cat to the Ancient Ruins in Meandering Hills, learn Nature’s Grasp and Focus, solve the three-disc power puzzle, collect the Abyss Artifact, and then speak to Bilwise. The only genuinely confusing part is the disc order: published guides disagree, and one guide warns that the arrangement may vary. Use the final state—all three discs seated and power flowing—as your proof of success, not a memorized sequence.

Where does the Reunion quest begin?

Reunion begins at Lioncrest Watchtower in the Hernand region as soon as Memory Fragment ends. It closes the Unexpected Gift sub-chapter of Chapter 2, Golden Greed. PowerPyx lists it as the 16th main mission in its own guide numbering; that number is not an official Pearl Abyss designation. The next main quest is For Honor, which opens Hernand in Chaos. PowerPyx’s quest listing and the Fextralife wiki entry both identify Memory Fragment as the requirement.

There is no separate unlock activity. The previous quest’s Visione Helmet memory playback is the trigger. Walk down from the top floor of the watchtower after that playback and head toward the courtyard gate; the opening cutscene starts automatically.

The quest log describes the encounter as: “The familiar figure of Rulupee, the Shai who lost their cat, has appeared near the Watchtower.” Rulupee’s pronouns vary between guides, so this walkthrough uses the quest-log wording, “their.”

What should you do before leaving Lioncrest Watchtower?

You do not need a special item or a separate combat setup. Finish Memory Fragment, leave the tower, and be ready to use the follow prompt rather than running ahead of Jiji. The quest teaches two abilities during the route, so you cannot complete the ruin puzzle before reaching the visions.

How do you start Reunion and find Rulupee?

  1. Leave the tower. From the top floor where Memory Fragment ends, descend and walk toward the exit gate.
  2. Watch the cutscene. Rulupee appears sitting on the wall above the stone archway that leaves the courtyard, with the black cat Jiji.
  3. Speak to Rulupee. The child explains that Jiji is leading Kliff toward a gift. This conversation advances the objective to following the cat.

Polygon identifies Rulupee as the child Kliff helped recover Jiji earlier in Hernand. The quest is not the later Chapter 3 Homestead storyline in which Kliff meets former Greymanes; that similarly named reunion is a different sequence.

How do you follow Jiji to the Ancient Ruins?

Jiji travels north from Lioncrest Watchtower toward Ancient Ruins (Meandering Hills). The route crosses a river, follows the far side, and climbs rocky ledges to a blocked entrance. Guides4Gamers places the ruins on the continent of Pywel, while Deltia’s Gaming and the Fextralife walkthrough describe the destination as Meandering Hills.

When the follow prompt appears, hold the platform-specific button so Kliff auto-follows instead of trying to pathfind through the brush:

  • Xbox: hold A.
  • PlayStation: hold X.
  • Keyboard: hold Left Shift.

Automatic following is helpful but not flawless. PowerPyx notes that Kliff can need manual help at the river and on a couple of rock ledges; if he catches on a rock or cliff, step away from the obstacle and hold the follow button again.

If Jiji seems to vanish, check the minimap for the cat’s current position. Deltia’s Gaming also says Jiji meows loudly, so follow the sound when the camera loses sight of the animal. A long route can still leave players behind, so do not assume the cat will wait in the center of the screen.

How do you learn Nature’s Grasp and open the ruin wall?

At the ruin entrance, a vision appears. Observe it until the game finishes the “Learning in Progress” message; the vision demonstrates Nature’s Grasp, the ability used to lift or move heavy objects. It is useful in exploration and combat, but only objects that produce an ability prompt are valid targets.

  1. Approach the vision closely.
  2. Hold the observe input: LB on Xbox, L1 on PlayStation, or Ctrl on keyboard, when the prompt appears.
  3. Wait for the lesson to finish. Moving away before the learning message completes does not advance the objective.
  4. Stand close to the wall. Aim at the section the vision lifted and use Nature’s Grasp.

On PC, Sportskeeda and Deltia’s Gaming give the wall input as F plus the left mouse button; Space raises the wall faster in Sportskeeda’s instructions. MessyModdingStore interprets the controller icons shown by PowerPyx as Triangle plus Square, then X on PlayStation and Y plus X, then A on Xbox. Those controller combinations are a secondhand reading of PowerPyx’s button art, not a text control list reproduced directly from the PowerPyx page.

If the wall does nothing, move closer before changing the controls. Polygon’s Paulo Kawanishi puts the rule plainly: “If the Nature’s Grasp button combination doesn’t prompt near an object, it means you can’t move it with the skill.” The entrance is a frequent failure point because the interaction distance is shorter than the visual distance suggests; walk right up to the target section and wait for the prompt.

What does Focus do, and when should you use it?

The room beyond the lifted wall contains a second vision: a meditating figure. Observe it using the same lesson input to learn Focus. Focus dramatically slows time and regenerates Spirit while it is held, according to Sportskeeda, Guides4Gamers, and Deltia’s Gaming.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Control descriptions differ slightly by platform and source. Sportskeeda lists X on PC, while Polygon describes pressing both analog sticks—or X on keyboard—to recharge Spirit. The important combat lesson is that Focus restores the resource you spend on the next objective, Force Palm. Hold it until the Spirit gauge has recovered rather than tapping it once and immediately leaving the room.

How do you solve the three-disc Ancient Ruins puzzle?

Inside the ruins are three large round discs (also called platforms, dials, or stone switches), a power source on the left, and a receiver on the right. Use Force Palm by holding the right stick—R3 or RS, depending on the controller terminology. Force Palm consumes Spirit, which is why learning Focus immediately beforehand matters.

The puzzle is a neighbor-toggle system. Hitting one disc also changes the state of the adjacent disc or discs: a seated disc can pop out, and an unseated disc can move in. The objective is not to strike each disc once. You are finished only when all three discs remain seated and power reaches the receiver. The energized receiver activates the Abyss Cresset outside the chamber.

Why do published guides give different disc orders?

There is no single sequence on which every guide agrees:

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.
  • Middle, right, left: Polygon (20 March 2026), Deltia’s Gaming (25 March 2026), and Guides4Gamers (center, right, left).
  • Middle, left, right: PowerPyx and MessyModdingStore.
  • Possible per-playthrough variation: Sportskeeda’s Animesh Talukdar wrote that he did not know whether the solution was randomized and reported his own sequence as middle, then “first,” then “third.” He did not define those positions as left and right.

Because the guides conflict, treat any printed order as a starting attempt, not a universal key. Begin with the middle disc, watch how the side discs respond, and continue striking the disc that is out of position. If middle-left-right leaves one unseated, try middle-right-left. Do not stop after the third hit unless the visual state confirms success.

The reliable completion check is visual: every disc is pushed into its socket, the line of power is active, and the receiver is live. The outside cresset then becomes available. MessyModdingStore discusses other ruin puzzles and later patch notes, but the available evidence does not establish that Pearl Abyss changed this specific Reunion puzzle or that one sequence is guaranteed for every player.

Where is the Abyss Artifact, and how do you finish the quest?

When the receiver is powered, leave the puzzle room and return to the cave mouth. Before speaking to the child on the cliff, collect the reward from the pillar at the entrance:

  1. Find the Abyss Cresset of Meandering Hills on the pillar beside the cave entrance.
  2. Take the Abyss Artifact. PowerPyx describes it as a skill point; the Fextralife walkthrough ties it to completing the cresset challenge, and Polygon notes that the unlocked cresset can be selected on the map for fast travel.
  3. Walk to Bilwise. Bilwise is the child waiting at the cliff edge outside the cave.
  4. Interact with Bilwise. The conversation triggers the concluding cutscene and completes Reunion.

The order matters for convenience: loot the pillar first, then start the Bilwise dialogue. The guides specifically warn that leaving after the turn-in can mean missing the skill-point artifact at the cave entrance.

What are the Reunion quest rewards?

The quest teaches Nature’s Grasp and Focus during its visions. End-of-quest item names vary between guides, so the safest inventory description is:

Reward What the guides report Qualification
Palmar Pill One pill that allows a resurrection Polygon alone specifies that the revival restores 30% health; it spells the item “palmer pill.” Other guides use Palmar or Palmer.
Inventory expansion One bag or expansion tool Polygon and Fextralife say it adds three inventory slots and call it a Medium Bag. PowerPyx and Deltia’s Gaming call it a Standard Inventory Expansion Tool.
Abyss Artifact Artifact from the Meandering Hills cresset Collected from the pillar at the cave entrance before Bilwise; keep it separate from the pill and inventory reward.

The differing names may describe the same inventory expansion, but the opened guides do not provide a developer item ID that proves equivalence. The three-slot figure is supported by Polygon and the Fextralife wiki; do not generalize it to every inventory upgrade in the game.

What are the controls for every Reunion objective?

Action Xbox PlayStation Keyboard / PC
Follow Jiji Hold A Hold X Hold Left Shift
Observe a vision Hold LB Hold L1 Hold Ctrl
Nature’s Grasp on the wall Y + X, then A (secondhand reading of PowerPyx icons) Triangle + Square, then X (secondhand reading of PowerPyx icons) F + left mouse button; Space lifts faster
Focus Use the displayed ability prompt Use the displayed ability prompt X in Sportskeeda; both analog sticks or X for Spirit recharge in Polygon
Force Palm Hold RS Hold R3 Use the displayed ability prompt

Button labels can change with a remapped control scheme. When a source gives a combination rather than a named action, prioritize the on-screen prompt and the ability lesson over a guide’s default layout.

What should you do if Reunion seems stuck?

  • No follow prompt for Jiji: move close to the cat and leave the courtyard through the archway. If Jiji has moved ahead, use the minimap marker and re-enable the follow input.
  • Jiji disappeared: check the minimap and listen for the meow; the route crosses a river and climbs rocks, so the cat can be above or beyond the camera’s current angle.
  • The wall will not move: stand almost against the exact wall section shown in the vision. Nature’s Grasp only prompts on valid, sufficiently close targets.
  • Force Palm appears to undo progress: that is the neighbor-toggle mechanic. Look at all three discs after every hit and keep going until they stay seated together.
  • The quest does not complete after the puzzle: collect the Abyss Artifact from the entrance pillar, then approach Bilwise on the cliff. The final cutscene is tied to that conversation.

Is Reunion the same quest as the Chapter 3 Homestead reunion?

No. Reunion is the Chapter 2 Golden Greed main quest about Rulupee, Jiji, and the Meandering Hills ruins. Homestead is a Chapter 3 quest in which Kliff reunites with former Greymanes and establishes a camp in Hernand; its later dial puzzle is not the three-disc Ancient Ruins puzzle in Reunion. Searching for “reunion” in the ordinary sense can therefore surface the wrong walkthrough.

What happens after Reunion?

Completing Bilwise’s dialogue ends the Unexpected Gift sub-chapter and unlocks For Honor. Hernand then opens in Chaos, so the quest’s practical progression reward is access to the next main-story section in addition to the newly learned abilities, the item rewards, and the Meandering Hills cresset.

FAQ

Is Reunion listed as the third quest of Unexpected Gift?

Yes. Sportskeeda describes it as the third and final quest of the Unexpected Gift act. Guides differ in how much of the objective list they print, but they place it after the Visione Helmet memory in Memory Fragment.

Does the Visione Helmet belong to Reunion’s rewards?

No. The helmet memory is the event that starts Reunion when Memory Fragment finishes. It is a prerequisite from the preceding quest, not a turn-in reward reported for Reunion.

What exact sentence does the Reunion quest log use?

The printed description is: “The familiar figure of Rulupee, the Shai who lost their cat, has appeared near the Watchtower.” It is quest-log text, not a quoted developer statement or necessarily dialogue spoken during the cutscene.

Can one disc order be guaranteed for every player?

The available walkthroughs do not establish that. Several print middle-right-left, while PowerPyx and MessyModdingStore print middle-left-right, and Sportskeeda’s author explicitly questions whether the arrangement is randomized. Use the seated-disc and powered-receiver state as the definitive check.

Why is my Spirit empty when I reach the discs?

Force Palm consumes Spirit, and the quest introduces Focus immediately before the puzzle so you can regenerate it. Hold Focus until the gauge recovers, then use Force Palm deliberately; repeated strikes that toggle neighboring discs can otherwise drain the resource before the room is solved.
