Starting off

• Talk to Vanescula Drakan at the docks, south-east of Burgh de Rott.

Gathering of the Myreque

The solution to the first ring puzzle.

• Board the nearby boat to travel to the icyene graveyard and talk to Safalaan.
• Solve the ring puzzle by rotating the rings until they turn blue and their markings join together.
• Inspect the statue of Queen Efaritay to receive Efaritay's pendant. Talk to Safalaan again.
• Travel to the Myreque Hideout (Meiyerditch teleport) and enter the room in the centre of the hideout to play a cutscene.
• Talk to Safalaan, who is located at the northern end of the hideout. Go through the dialogue.

Castle Drakan

• Teleport to Darkmeyer and enter the Arboretum. Talk to Veliaf Hurtz.
• Leave the Arboretum and go west to the city wall to find a group of vyrewatch. Talk to Overwatch Mornid.
• Search the Vyrewatch crate in the large house south-east of the vyrewatch to obtain Vyrewatch uniforms. Return to Veliaf and talk to him, click yes to continue the quest.
• Equip the House Drakan outfit and talk to Vanescula to the west to enter Castle Drakan. No items other than the Darkmeyer outfit, House Drakan outfit, Drakan medallion, runes, Ivandis flail and blisterwood weapons and ammo can be taken to Castle Drakan.
• Complete the following to gain status:
  • Talk to Lady Nadezhda Shadum - suggest that she humiliates the wolf (20 status).
  • Talk to Lord Alexei Jovkai - suggest that he tries the Defiant old man (20 status).
  • Talk to Lord Mischa Myrmel - suggest that she shows the blood tithe mercy (20 status).
  • Shoo all three bats (15 status each).
• Talk to Vanescula again. Talk to Lord Drakan, choose any of the responses to Drakan's questions and finally choose to spring the trap or call the retreat. The player will be caught and put into a cell regardless of the choice made.

Escaping the cells

The solution to the second ring puzzle.

• Leave the cell and open other cell doors to free the Myreque.
• Go through the portcullis to the next chamber and solve the puzzle to free Vanescula and Mornid. This is similar to the earlier puzzle with the addition that rotating a ring causes the smaller, adjacent ring to rotate as well. Rotating the centre ring causes the outer ring to rotate.
• Enter the next chamber and talk to Safalaan. Go up the stairs and leave the dungeon.
• Enter the room on the eastern side of the corridor and take from the butchery table. Talk to Vanescula and Mornid in the room on the western side of the corridor,
• Go to the room south of the corridor. Investigate each blood lock to assign a Myreque member to it. The correct matches are:
  • Ghrazi - Veliaf
  • Alzeph - Radigad
  • Pyrah - Kael
  • Myrmel - Mekritus
  • Vitur - Polmafi
  • Shadum - Vertida
  • Jovkai - Safalaan
  • Drakan - Ivan
• Unlock the tithing door escape through the cellar exit. Enter the tunnel and Lord Drakan will appear.

Ascending the castle

• Vandalise the Statue of Lord Drakan to obtain a statue spear and brace the entrance door.
• A venator will break through a nearby window and attack the player. Defeat the venator and head upstairs.
• Smash furniture to gain furniture debris and use this to barricade windows. If the status bar depletes with a window remaining uncovered then a venator will break through the window and the player will have to defeat it and finish barricading the windows before proceeding.
• Use the blood lock to enter the next room. Obtain furniture debris and barricade the windows in the second room. Use the blood lock and enter the third room.
• Click on the table to lift it.
• Defeat the venator and click on the table again to finish lifting it into place. Use the third blood lock and enter the next room.

• Fight Drakan again. When Drakan says "Fear me!" and transforms into a cloud of dust, run away from the cloud. When he says "Embrace darkness" stand next to Salafaan, within the sphere of lightening.
• Jump into the portal, Drakan will appear again. Fight him - he will use the same attacks as in the previous fights.
• Talk to Drakan and then fight him for the final time. Avoid bombs as before. Move away from Drakan when he is doing a special attack, performing rapid melee attacks, to avoid taking damage.
