After talking to Sybille, you learn she has been targeted by assassins. The main question is, who can now protect her from these threats in GreedFall: The Dying World? Sybille recommends visiting her uncle, as family is usually the first place to turn to for help during tough times.
However, the situation is more complicated than it appears. Every favor you do seems to lead to another, and there’s some dark intrigue involving the royal family. Here’s what you need to know about hiring a bodyguard for Sybille and completing her companion quest, “Home Protection.”
Home Protection Quest Walkthrough
Begin the quest by talking to Sybille later in the game. She will ask you to accompany her to Vespe Palace. Inside, you’ll walk through the main hall to the reception area and then into the Throne Room. Talk to the prince and let Sybille explain her concerns.
The prince agrees to help, but only if you assist him first. Someone is plotting against him, and he suspects it involves one of his mistresses. Your task is to find out who is involved and stop them. Only then will he provide official protection.
Ask all the questions you can to gather information. Then, leave the throne room, go through the reception area, and turn right into the interior courtyard. There, you’ll meet Volusa, one of the prince’s mistresses. Talk to her, but she won’t reveal much.
Leave the courtyard and go straight into the East Wing. Find the first door on the left, which leads to a bedroom with a chest and some coins on the table. Keep going further down the hall to another bedroom. This room belongs to the mistress, and her diary is on the desk. Read it to discover that Volusa fears for her life and believes there’s a secret room in the study. The best time to find it is after midnight.
Continue searching in her room, then return to the reception and wait until midnight. Head to the Throne Room and examine the vases with your tracking ability. The vase to the left of the throne opens a hidden room.
Inside, you’ll find a suspicious letter on the desk that involves a scandal linking the prince, Sybille, and her parents. Now, you must talk to the prince and decide what to do.
Options include:
- Denouncing Volusa (which reduces your reputation with Sybille by 2)
- Not denouncing her (which boosts your reputation with Sybille by 2)
- Returning the secret document to the prince (ensuring he becomes Sybille’s protector)
- Telling him you’ll look for it, with the choice to pass it to the d’Orsay family, affecting your reputation with different factions
Next, leave the palace and head to the d’Orsay Family residence. Speak with Mister d’Argenton about providing protection for Sybille. As you mention the compromising document, you’ll have more choices:
- Give him the document to proceed with the quest
- Allow Sybille to decide herself (which increases your reputation with her and lets you continue)
It’s recommended to let Sybille make her own decision, since she values having control over her situation.
Finally, visit Sybille’s parents. Talk to them and choose whether to support their arguments or support Sybille. Supporting her keeps her favor, and after a tough discussion, the quest concludes. You will earn 1,000 experience points and a +2 reputation boost with Sybille.
