Pain Beyond Death: how to calm the banshees

Quick answer

To calm each banshee in Pain Beyond Death, find and kill her lover among the spectral zombies around her; the game’s hint says the other zombies keep respawning, so don’t try to clear them. In Risk Reforged’s recording the quest completes after the third banshee, which they found too strong early in Act 1 and came back to later.

Calm a banshee: kill her lover

Reveal solution / story details

When you reach a banshee, a short scene plays: Anya says one of the stumbling corpses must be the banshee’s beloved. The quest hint then tells you to find and kill the lover to soothe her, and warns that the other spectral zombies respawn forever. In the recording, the first banshee thanks the party once the right zombie dies.

On screen: Anya says one of the stumbling corpses must be the banshee’s beloved, the HINT says to find and kill her lover while the other spectral zombies respawn, and after the fight the banshee thanks the party.

54:26–55:30The banshee scene, the hint and the first banshee calmed

Walk up to the banshee in Capital City Ruins and let the scene finish.
Fight through the spectral zombies around her until her lover dies. The others respawn, so don’t try to clear them all.
Wait for the banshee’s thanks, then move on to the next one.

The third banshee and the completion message

Reveal solution / story details

Risk Reforged’s on-screen tip says the first two banshees can be done early, but the third was too strong at their level. Their chapters show a failed attempt early in Act 1 and a success about two hours later in the same playthrough. Calming the third banshee shows OPTIONAL QUEST COMPLETED: Pain Beyond Death, and the banshee thanks the party for helping her see clearly.

What is still unconfirmed

Not yet checked: where the second and third banshees are, how to tell the lover apart from the other zombies before it dies, and the reward. Recording difficulty is not shown, so “too strong” is one player’s experience, not a level requirement.
