You were previously betrayed by Itsel as she decided to take all of the power from the Burning Aether that was obtained for herself.
This led you to save her and afterward, she wanted to be alone and this led you to continue gathering Mother’s Gifts for later.
After a lot of hard work to obtain Mother’s Gifts, you decide to head back to Zarbinzet to see if Itsel has returned since she left her grimoire behind.
The Wages of Hatred Objectives:
- Return to Itsel in Zarbinzet
- Look for Itsel in Zarbinzet
- Approach Itsel
- Respond to Itsel
- Read Itsel’s Grimoire
The Wages of Hatred Quest Walkthrough
Itsel is still nowhere to be found and this may be because she has other plans or has been left scarred by what had happened.
Even though she betrayed you, her intentions may still be aligned with yours and you will need to search for her in Zarbinzet.
You will be able to find Itsel near the east entrance of the town and will need to interact with her to proceed with the quest.
Once you speak with Itsel, you can respond in any way that you prefer and this will end up with her telling you about The Mother’s teachings.
She leaves her grimoire to you as she believes that you will have better use for it than she did and from here it looks like you’re on your own.
You will need to head to where Itsel’s Grimoire is located in Zarbinzet and interact with it, which will complete the quest as well as Itsel’s story.

- Rare Equipment
- Legendary Equipment
- Gem Cache

Verdict
Itsel has followed The Mother for a long time and only wished to use the power that was ripe for the taking to get rid of the heretics.
This did not turn out so well for her or anyone and it seems that she needs time to think and keep to herself for the time being.
Now that Itsel is out of the way, you will need to search for Locran and see what can be done next and hope that his intentions are different.
