Where Old Devils Lie
Anca says she found something interesting in the books we took from the convent – something that could help me with my quest. I should ask her about that when I have the time.
Objectives
- 1
Wait until Anca finishes her research
Anca needs a moment to organise her notes. I should come back to her in a while to ask what she found.
- 2
Return to Anca
Anca should be done by now. I need to talk to her to see what she discovered.
- 3
Solve Enolf's riddle
The key to finding the Font of Life is a cryptic account by one Enolf, a wandering mystic. I need to help Anca figure out what he meant.
- 4
Find out what Enolf meant by 'Lord's symbol close to old devils, no soul to comfort me'
- 5
Find out what Enolf meant by 'tormented visage etched onto clouds'
- 6
Return to Anca before noon
Anca isn't comfortable setting out in search of the Font right now. I need to get back to her another day, before noon. That'll give us enough time to explore.
- 7
Find the lake Enolf mentioned
First step towards the Font of Life – we need to find the lake mentioned in Enolf's notes.
- 8
Follow Anca
Anca knows the way, all I need to do is follow her lead.
- 9
Talk to Anca
I need to check on Anca and discuss our progress.
- 10
Find the Font of Life
Anca found references to something called the 'Font of Life' – and it's supposed to be somewhere up in the mountains. We need to make sense of Enolf's clues in order to find it.
- 11
Follow the streams upriver
Alright, the Font lies up one of the streams – but which? There are three to follow and check on. It's going to be trial and error, I guess.
- 12
Reach the ruins
I realise Enolf might've referred to some ruins I've already stumbled upon. I need to lead Anca there.
- 13
Check out the ruins
We stumbled upon some ruins. Maybe they're connected to the Font?
- 14
Follow the path leading through the ruins
Looks like we're on the right track! There's a passageway leading through the ruins – maybe that's how we get to the Font.
- 15
Talk to Anca
Is this it? Have we reached the Font? I should talk to Anca and see what she thinks.
- 16
Investigate the ruins
Time to look around, figure out what went on in this place.
- 17
Find a way inside
The original entrance to the complex is collapsed – but maybe there's another way in?
- 18
Enter the ruins
I found a passage leading inside the ruined complex. It's going to be tight... But I think we can squeeze through.
- 19
Inspect the painting
- 20
Explore the ruins
This is definitely the right place – the Font is somewhere within this complex. Time to go look for it.
- 21
Investigate the chamber using Focus Mode
Looks like we're stuck – the door to the corridor leading further down seems stuck shut. But let's look around – maybe I'll figure out a way to open it.
- 22
Clear out the ruins for Anca
Anca asked me to clear the ruins, so she can wait for me in safety.
The journal's own order. It is the order the game hands them to you, which is not always the order you can do them in.
How it can end · 3
The journal records 3 ways this quest can finish. Each one is written after the fact, so each one gives away what you did.
What you get
XP in 2 awards: 500, 150. 1 Skill Point.
The game pays these out separately. Some quests award them one after another, and some award one instead of another, so they are shown as the game stores them rather than added together.
