This mission picks up right where Into the Borderlands stopped. Head back to Meridian, fast travel is probably your best bet for a quick trip. Upon arriving in the city, head straight for the temple and talk to Avad. After a brief cutscene, you’ll need to run down to a warehouse and investigate the shady dealings going on there.

Upon arriving, you’ll be treated to a cutscene. After the cutscene, walk forward and inspect the bomb. Then go upstairs and inspect another pallet of blaze. Behind it is a door, also inspect that and the doors will open. Hit triangle one more time and you’ll trigger another cutscene.

After the cutscene you’ll need to use your scanner to investigate once again (you should be known as Sherlock Aloy by now). You’ll find a set of tracks to follow to a house and down its stairs. When you find a hole in the wall, walk through and continue going down the hill to be treated to another short cutscene.

After the cutscene you’ll need to follow Dervahl. Use the white ledges and yellow grappling obstacles on your right to get up to the bridge. Once you get across, you’ll need to get to the Solarium. Take out the two guards in front of you and follow the marker. Once you get to the top, you’ll be treated to yet another cutscene.

After the cutscene, run over and destroy the sonic device. Then move into the palace, watch a cutscene, and defeat Darvahl and his men. After you defeat Darvahl, a group of glinthawks will attack. Stay on the move and use your fire arrows to take them down.

After the fast-paced battle, loot the corpses and then talk to Dervahl to trigger a cutscene. After the cutscene, you’ll be tasked with talking to Avad, Erand, and optionally Dervahl. Follow the markers on your screen and talk to each. After talking with each person, you’ll complete the quest and the Meridian side story!
