The Great Convention Part II starts with Elara Tuek in Harko Village. She gives you the arena passphrase "White for poison, black for purity." Say it to the guards by the North Terminus exit, sign up with Maksim Dubrov and fight five tiers. From tier two on, each tier starts with an errand: a radiation core, elacca crates, a suboid, an abomination.

How to start: Call to Arms

Part II unlocks after Noctua's Return, the last journey of The Great Convention Part I. Go to any safe settlement and wait for Elara's call, then talk to her in Harko Village. She has traced the Face Dancer to an illegal dueling ring by the Neo Carthag construction site. She gives you the passphrase (100 XP).

The Art of Kanly (tier 1)

Secrets of the Exile (tier 2): the radiation core

Steps

Talk to Maksim Dubrov in the arena lobby.
Travel to the Sheol. The courier's downed ornithopter lies in the north-west of the Sheol. Wear your Radiation Suit.
Search the area for clues about the radiation core. Check the sabotaged power unit and take the hastily drawn map. It crosses out the Wreck of the Delphis (aft) and points to the Wreck of the Ourea.
Look for the core near the Wreck of the Ourea. It sits in a downed ship just south of the Ourea.
Locate the core and find its control room. Follow the power cable behind the core and use the control console to close the radiation core container.
Pick up the radiation core. Expect an ambush of three enemies on the way out.
Return to Maksim Dubrov, beat the Kirab, then defeat Aren the Exile. He summons adds every phase, but he staggers easily in melee (100 XP).

Breaking the Chains (tier 3): the elacca shipment

This errand goes into the Deep Desert. Its layout changes every week, so check the live map before you fly. Leave valuables at home: if you die in a PvP area, other players can loot what you carry.

Extinguishing the Flames (tier 4): capture a suboid

Steps

Talk to Maksim Dubrov, then travel to the Wreck of the Hephaestus on the Overland Map, east of Harko Village. You know it from A Sign from Above. Bring the Radiation Suit or iodine.
Investigate the suboid corpse and reach the cargo deck.
Search the first and second hangars. In the second one, cut the panel with your Cutteray to power the console. The Purple ID Band appears. It is awkward to pick up, so stand to its left.
Search the aft section and find a suboid.
Turn on the floodlight to knock out the suboid, then capture it.
Find a way out of the wreck. If a cut floor panel stays visible, stand on it to drop through.
Deliver the suboid, then fight two Sandflies groups and the suboids. Defeat Thrax the Flamer: his shield is weak and his dash is slow. Kill the two adds at each threshold or burst him down (100 XP).

A Deadly Poison (tier 5): the abomination from Old Carthag

Steps

Talk to Maksim Dubrov and travel to the ruins of Old Carthag. They are on the Overland Map between Harko Village and Arrakeen.
Search the upper rooms and the processing room. Take the red path on the right, not the green one on the left, and turn left after the projection room.
Search the incubator rooms. The pods are locked. Find a way to open the pods: go back to the previous room and use the console. Two enemies spawn.
Continue your search and survive the ambush. Lure the abominations to high ground and pick them off from platforms. Grenades and turrets help.
Search the next incubator rooms, open the pods and capture the unconscious abomination.
Find a way out of the lab. Climb up. At the top, break through the wall instead of following the stairs. If a door blocks you, look for a purple keycard on the left side of the pod room.
Return to your ornithopter and leave the ruins. Deliver the abomination to Maksim.
Defeat the Maas Kharet cultists, the abominations and Sinnu the Poisoner. Sinnu has three phases with abomination adds, so kite him and keep to high ground. A final phase follows. Stay high and shoot while it charges its shield (100 XP).

Outside the Law: Fallen Light and the Minotaur

Common problems and fixes

The guards won't let you in. Talk to Elara first (Call to Arms), then choose the passphrase line in the guards' dialogue.
Can't find the radiation core. It isn't at the Delphis. That wreck is crossed out on the map. Go to the downed ship just south of the Wreck of the Ourea.
"Secure the crates of elacca" won't finish. It needs all three crates in your inventory.
The Purple ID Band won't pick up. Step to its left and try again, close to the console.
Esmar at Fallen Light calls Elara's phrase gibberish. That scene is scripted, so nothing is broken. Carry on with the gauntlet. The phrase works with the real Esmar Tuek in Dangerous Allies.
Lost an arena fight? You re-enter at your current health. Heal and restock in the lobby before you talk to Maksim.

What comes next

Call of the Night closes Part II: go to any tradepost in Hagga Basin, where Noctua, Zantara's bat, brings you a new message. Part III starts with Dangerous Allies: wait in a watersealed base for Elara's call, then talk to Esmar Tuek in Fallen Light and say Elara's phrase, "A stone is heavy and the sand is weighty..." The rest is in Zanovar and Forty Fears. Every other passphrase and door code is in our list of all codes and puzzle answers.
