One of the many commendations you work toward as you sail through The Devils’ Roar is the ‘Ducal Disciple’ commendation.
If you need help completing the rest of the Secrets of the Banished commendations, check out our entire walkthrough here.
If you are just looking to complete ‘Ducal Disciple’, you’ll first need sail over to Flintlock Peninsula!
Ducal Disciple
To complete Ducal Disciple, you will first need to unlock several Commendations related to the Smugglers’ League.
The Commendations you must complete before you can begin working on the Client’s requests are:
- Clandestine Contact
- Trader of Banished Tablets
- Smuggler of Banished Keys
With those Commendations complete, you can talk to the Client and begin to work on the Ducal Disciple Commendation.
Speak with Client
Sail over to Flintlock Peninsula and speak with Duke. You can find them in the West cave of the island. After talking with him, he will direct you to read three of Belle’s journals that she’s left behind at the Sanctuaries of the Banished. As he mentioned, he doesn’t have the complete picture yet and is hoping the journals can fill in some gaps.
Read Belle's Journals in all three Sanctuaries of the Banished
Belle has left a journal at each of the three Sanctuaries of the Banished. You can find the one on Cinder Islet just outside the door of the Sanctuary. However, you’ll need to acquire a Sanctuary of the Banished Key to read the other two on Brimstone Rock and Flame’s End.
The journal at Brimstone Rock will be resting on a plinth inside its Sanctuary and the journal at Flame’s End will be sitting on a rock inside its Sanctuary.
Servant's Oath Garrison
With all three journals read, it’s time to sail to Servant’s Oath Garrison. You’ll need to search a Reaper Parrot inside the inner Garrison. Specifically, you’ll find it in a painting hung in the Office Room just next to the Vault on the lower level of the Garrison.
If you’ve read the journals, and completed the Commendations needed to speak with Duke, you can then interact with the painting and pull a latch.
The painting will slide away, allowing you to reach behind for a Mysterious Ancient Object. Leave the Garrison and sail back to Duke on Flintlock Peninsula. The object you retrieved is a Quest Item, so you don’t need to worry about losing it on your way back.
Return to Duke
Deliver the Mysterious Ancient Object to Duke, and after a brief cutscene, you will complete Ducal Disciple and unlock the Duke Shipmate Trinket.
