Eustacia is the resident healer inside the besieged camp and a key person in solving the puzzle and reveal the traitor.
As you progress through the quest, explore the dungeons and find the Champions, Eustacia will provide you with useful clues, helping you get closer to reveal the traitors real identity. Additionally, she will heal your Health, Magicka and Fatigue and cure all your Status Ailments. She will also be the first one you see if you get killed in the dungeons, carefully nursing you back to life. Additionally, she will warp you back to your last location in case you activated a warp rune.
The governor strictly recommend you visit Eustacia first thing, and when you do so she will say: "I can heal your body for free, this the Governor has ordered. This puzzle of the traitor ... I might be able to help you there. My mother was an oracle, and I have some of her sight." She will also offer a piece of advice when dealing with the Champions: "Take care when talking to the champions; three are honorable but the traitor will lie for best advantage." She will also provide fair warning about a mysterious creature that attacks you in your sleep: "I must also warn you that outside these walls is a fearsome creature that has slaughtered any who fight it. It appears when you rest. Do not fight it, you are not ready. Run."
When curing you she will say: "Your ailments are gone. I expect to see you again, but good health until then." When healing you she will say: "You should feel better now. But with adventurers like you that is always a temporary condition." If you die during the game, you will wake up back in town under her care, where she will say: "A scout found you, but not before someone picked over your corpse. At least you are healthy now."
When visiting Eustacia, it is always worth checking if she has any new rumors. She will not tell you the traitor’s identity right away, but only provide clues that will connect with the different information you can get from the Champions. From a list of 12 possible rumors, you will receive a total of 6 rumors from Eustacia, all linked to the available dialogue options given to you by the champions, one rumor per topic:
- The traitor defended the north wall during the attack.
- The traitor did not defend the north wall during the attack.
- The traitor defended the east wall during the attack.
- The traitor did not defend the east wall during the attack.
- The traitor had a loud argument with the governor during the attack.
- The traitor never spoke to the governor during the attack.
- The traitor tried to negotiate a peace with the ice tribes long before the battle.
- The traitor had no open dealings with the ice tribes.
- The traitor surreptitously sought aid from the Emperor.
- The traitor would as soon spit on the emperor as ask him for help.
- The traitor weakened the gates under the guise of inspection.
- The traitor had nothing to do with the problem at the gates.
Since the Traitor's identity is always random, it is up to you to get the right information from the Champions and compare them to Eustacia’s clues.
Additionally, every time Eustacia is ready to provide another rumor, you will be given a randomly selected moody description:
- Eustacia's eyes go milky white as she says,
- Hair bristles on the back of your neck as Eustacia says,
- Eustacia does not speak yet still you hear,
- Shadows cloak her face as Eustacia says,
- Eustacia croaks in an inhuman voice,
- Rats scurry away and you feel a sharp pains [sic] as Eustacia says,
