How to Recruit Ligia in Sovereign Tower

Community reports and historical task dataAugust reports and August 31 snapshotMarket-route discussion and task records compared October 20, 2026. Source review, not a current-build playthrough.

Reported Ligia condition

The practical target is cure her father, then receive her recruitment audience. Finding a lead, obtaining the lamp, and handing it over are different stages. If you have only finished a search assignment, the recruitment condition may not yet have happened.

Before you choose

1. During Ligia's Act II request, help with her father's illness and identify the available search destinations.
2. For the market route, distinguish the investigation from the later lamp acquisition; use the task-name comparison below if you have lost your place.
3. After obtaining the lamp, return to Ligia's request and give it to her. If you stole it, the player report specifically says to be honest.
4. Check the recovery and subsequent recruitment audience, not only the search debrief. Keep a save before the acquisition choice if possible.

Market route: buy or steal the lamp

Community-reportedVersion not statedMarket-route reply #7 and the conflicting island follow-up rechecked October 20, 2026; not independently playtested.

1. Investigate the markets when choosing where to search.
2. Buy or steal the magic lamp. If you steal it, tell Ligia the truth.
3. Give her the lamp when asked. The player reports that she requests recruitment after her father recovers.

Community source: Steam reply #7, August 10. A September 5 reply (#14) could not reproduce the island alternative. This route does not promise you can keep the lamp or require a rewind.

Searched the market but still have no lamp?

Check the assignment's name before repeating it. The August 31 snapshot separates information gathering from the task that actually awards the item:

• The harbor pubs: reveals that the lamp will be sold at a market; it does not list the lamp itself as a reward. Look for the acquisition follow-up.
• The Shellington market: also records the market lead rather than possession of the lamp. A successful investigation is not the handover step.
• The lamp of old tomes: reveals Djinn Island in its ordinary result. Learning a destination is different from obtaining the item there.
• Legendary lamp at auction: lists the wish-granting lamp as an item reward, with separate bought/stolen result variants. Check this debrief and the inventory before returning to Ligia.

The auction's recorded purchase and theft variants do not have identical requirements, so recheck the live assignment after choosing how to acquire it. The snapshot does not expose every condition activating those variants, and its three-cycle deadline fields are not a proven countdown for the entire modern questline.

What about Djinn Island?

The Djinn Island expedition record also distinguishes ordinary success from actually getting the lamp: its ordinary reward records knowledge that the lamp was stolen, while an Ari-specific result awards the item. Other item-awarding variants exist with unexposed activation conditions. That explains why an island success alone is not enough evidence that you can hand over a lamp; it does not establish Ari as universally required or a mandatory first-run failure. The market report remains the clearer documented sequence above.

Current-build note

Official patch 1.0.8 fixed a Ligia questline bug that could repeatedly show the same item-search choice. That fix improves route reliability, but it does not confirm the full recruitment trigger. Update the game before retrying a stuck scene.

Evidence limit

Verified scope: the cited official patch confirms a Ligia questline fix. Community-reported scope: saving her father is the recruitment path. The source does not establish all prerequisites or every possible outcome.
