Step 1: Talk to Undertaker Arimor

Your journey begins when you encounter a mysterious old man named Undertaker Arimor. He approaches you with an offer that leads you into the dark and mystical world of hauntings and exorcisms. Your first task is to speak with him and learn more about what he has to offer.

Objective:

  • Talk to Undertaker Arimor.

Arimor’s Dialogue:

  • "Exile, the dead do not always rest easy in this land. Some are trapped by unresolved anguish, unable to move on. I can help you see them… and perhaps, we can put their tormented souls to rest."

Step 2: Peer into the Next Area

Undertaker Arimor gifts you a strange lantern that allows you to see spectral energies at the transition between areas. This lantern is your key to uncovering haunted monsters and unresolved spirits. Your next task is to peer through the Lantern at the transition to the next area.

Objective:

  • Peer through the Lantern at the next area transition.

Tips for Using the Lantern:

  • Look for Transitions: Use the Lantern at area transitions, such as doorways or zone exits, to reveal hidden hauntings.
  • Observe Carefully: The Lantern will highlight areas and monsters that are haunted, allowing you to interact with them.

Step 3: Slay Haunted Monsters

By peering through the Lantern, you will be able to see and manipulate hauntings that would otherwise be hidden. Your task now is to slay the monsters in the area that are revealed to be haunted by the Lantern’s light.

Objective:

  • Slay the Monsters that the Lantern showed you were Haunted.

Tips for Slaying Haunted Monsters:

  • Prioritize Haunted Monsters: Focus on the monsters revealed by the Lantern first, as they are key to progressing the quest.
  • Be Prepared: Haunted monsters may be stronger or have unique abilities, so approach them with caution.

Step 4: Summon Undertaker Arimor

After slaying the haunted monsters, you will find a corpse filled with unresolved anguish. This is a special type of corpse that can be interacted with using Undertaker Arimor’s abilities. Summon Undertaker Arimor to collect the corpse and learn more about its significance.

Objective:

  • Summon Undertaker Arimor to collect the corpse.

Tips for Summoning Arimor:

  • Use the Lantern: The Lantern may also act as a means to summon Arimor, depending on your proximity to the corpse.
  • Prepare for the Unexpected: The collection of the corpse may trigger additional events or reveal more about the story.

Step 5: Speak to the Undertaker

With the corpse collected, you should speak to Undertaker Arimor again to discuss what has been found and what needs to be done next. He will provide guidance on how to handle these haunted remains and what to do with them.

Objective:

  • Speak to Undertaker Arimor about the corpse.

Arimor’s Dialogue:

  • "This corpse is a vessel of unresolved pain, Exile. It is not enough to simply bury it. We must ensure the spirit within is released… or harnessed. Let me show you the way to the Necropolis."

Step 6: Visit the Necropolis

Undertaker Arimor invites you to visit his Necropolis, a place where the dead are laid to rest—or where their spirits are bound for other purposes. To proceed, either speak to Arimor or use a Waypoint to travel to the Necropolis.

Objective:

  • Speak to Undertaker Arimor or use a Waypoint to travel to the Necropolis.

Tips for Visiting the Necropolis:

  • Explore Thoroughly: The Necropolis may hold secrets or additional rewards for those who take the time to explore.

Step 7: Speak to the Undertaker

Upon arriving at the Necropolis, you must speak with Undertaker Arimor once again. He will explain how the Necropolis operates and how you can use it to perform exorcisms or other rituals to interact with the spirits of the dead.

Objective:

  • Speak to Undertaker Arimor in the Necropolis.

Arimor’s Dialogue:

  • "This is the Necropolis, where the dead come to rest—or to be put to rest. Here, we can perform rites that will either release the spirit or bind it to a purpose. But beware, Exile, for these rituals are not without risk."

Step 8: Bury a Corpse

Arimor will suggest that you bury a corpse within the Necropolis. This act is not merely symbolic; it serves to prepare the corpse for the exorcism that will follow, releasing or harnessing the spectral energies trapped within.

Objective:

  • Bury a corpse in the Necropolis.

Tips for Burying a Corpse:

  • Choose the Right Spot: The Necropolis may have specific areas or altars where corpses should be buried to maximize the effects of the ritual.
  • Follow Arimor’s Instructions: He may provide hints or direct instructions on how to properly bury the corpse for the desired outcome.

Step 9: Perform an Exorcism

With the corpse buried, the final step is to perform an exorcism. This ritual will harness the spectral energies within the corpse to create an item. The item you create will depend on the nature of the spirit and the exorcism performed.

Objective:

  • Perform an Exorcism in the Necropolis to create an item of your choosing.

Tips for Performing an Exorcism:

  • Choose Your Ritual Wisely: The type of exorcism you perform may influence the outcome, so consider what kind of item or effect you wish to achieve.
  • Be Ready for Consequences: Exorcisms may have unpredictable results, and the spirit may not go quietly.

Step 10: Speak to the Undertaker

After completing the exorcism, speak to Undertaker Arimor once more to discuss the results and what you have learned. He may offer further insight or guidance on how to continue using the Necropolis to your advantage.

Objective:

  • Speak to Undertaker Arimor about the exorcism you performed.
