Divinity: Original Sin 2 offers no shortage of side quests and escapades. Some are fairly obvious, but others are a bit harder to find and beat. Still, the Godwoken should never pass these up, as they can potentially offer fantastic rewards.

One such reward is the Phoenix Heart, which players can obtain via a side quest in Act 2 on Reaper's Coast. However, claiming this prize is no walk in the park. Follow the steps below to find the Phoenix Heart, claim it, and discover the potential it holds.

Players receive the Phoenix Heart as a reward for the quest "A Trial For All Seasons." This quest is obtained by speaking to the Tongue of Flame, located in the forest on Reaper's Coast at coordinates X: 448 Y: 341. Upon engaging in conversation, the brazier will offer the player a riddle:

"Winter shudders with ice and snow. Autumn rumbles, the sky lit aglow. Summer burns, air fiery as a hearth. Spring quenches, with bloody rebirth."

Surrounding the Tongue of Flame are four statues: the Hero of Winter, Hero of Autumn, Hero of Summer, and Hero of Spring. The player must create specific elemental reactions or surfaces, using the riddle's words as a guide.

• Hero of Winter: The player must create an ice surface. This can be done with certain Hydrosophist spells such as Hail Strike. Alternatively, players can create a water surface with a water balloon or Rain, and freeze it with the spell Global Cooling.
• Hero of Autumn: This is perhaps the most complex, as the Godwoken must create an electrified cloud. The first step is to create a water surface, then use a fire spell on the water to create a steam cloud. Finally, use an electrifying spell on the cloud such as Dazing Bolt.
• Hero of Summer: Upon first reading the riddle, many players may try to create a fire surface; however, Fireball alone won't do the trick. Instead, players must create a fire cloud. They can accomplish this by using Vaporize on a fire surface. Alternatively, Laser Ray can generate a fire cloud.
• Hero of Spring: Lastly, all that's needed here is some blood. If there's an elf in the party, they only need to use their racial ability Flesh Sacrifice. Otherwise, using the spell Raining Blood or simply attacking a party member will do the trick.

Immediately after completing these steps, a Challenger will emerge from each statue. Be prepared for a tough fight.

Each of these beings boasts an elemental immunity corresponding with the element used to awaken them. They are each at level 14, and pose a challenge even to Godwoken who match their level. The Heroes themselves will buff the challengers at the end of every turn. Pay attention to the Challengers' immunities and armor levels, and watch out for harmful elemental surfaces.

Once the party has won, speak to the Tongue of Flame once more. A chest will be revealed with the party's winnings inside. These include gold and high-value items, as well as the sough-after Phoenix Heart.

When consumed by an elf, it will grant the eater the spell Flaming Tongues. Only an elf may gain knowledge by consuming flesh; if any other race eats the Phoenix Heart, they will not learn the spell and will simply become Diseased.

If the player does not have an elf in their party, use the Mask of the Shapeshifter to take on the form of this race. Doing so will grant all the racial benefits, including the ability to consume the heart to learn the spell.

A Pyrokinetic skill, Flaming Tongues creates a fiery aura around the user. Any character who enters this aura will take fire damage. It's a fantastic spell for close-quarters combat, and scales with the user's Intelligence stat and Pyrokinetic skill.
