A Hero's End
A Hero's End sends you into ancient ruins under Svartrau after you deal with Father Florin. It is worth doing for two legendary items: the shortsword The Hand of Fate and the Ancient Hero's Armour.
- Type
- Side
- Region
- Svartrau City
- Rewards
- 250 XP, The Hand of Fate (legendary shortsword), Ancient Hero's Armour (legendary heavy chestpiece)
Good to know
- It follows In the Name of the Father, in the room where you find Father Florin.
- You need the Ancient Key and the Stone Key. The Stone Key sits in the Svartrau Cathedral treasury.
- The Treasury Key is in a book in a storage room you reach from the cathedral roof at night.
- Two minibosses wait in the ruins, including a Fallen Witch.
- It costs about three time segments and has no fail state.
- It pays 250 XP on top of the legendary loot.
How it starts
Finish In the Name of the Father first. In Florin's room you can take the Ancient Key from his body, which starts the quest at once, or from a barrel on the left. With the barrel key, open the left doorway to begin.
Getting the Stone Key
Climb the cathedral at night and drop through the open tower. Take the Treasury Key from a book in the storage room in the north corner. In the treasury building on the courtyard's north side, move the bookshelf to find a ladder. The Stone Key is on a ledge in the main room.
What you do
Explore the ruins, drop into a lower cave and clear the kobolds. Open the stone chest for The Hand of Fate, then push on past a Fallen Witch. Take the west path at the fork. Focus the second miniboss, because its helpers die with it. The armour is in the coffin at the back.
Objectives
1. Explore the ancient ruins. 2. Find the ancient warrior's armour.
Tips
Grab the Simple Key from a body after you squeeze out through the crack on the right. It opens the door back to the first ruin room, so you can walk out the way you came.
