Detailed Walkthrough[edit]

Notes[edit]

  • While talking to Valsirenn outside the College of Psijics Ruins, you can ask her what was the Golden Knight in the vision was, despite the knight itself not appearing, only his sword and his voice and not naming himself by that name.
  • The yaghra and the abyssal pearl won't exist on the beach before reaching the related objective.
  • The Spiderkith won't exist near Mephala's Barrier in the vaults until reaching the related objective.
  • Unlike similar external areas, once in the mindscape, there is no way to backtrack prematurely if desired.
  • The adds summoned by K'Tora don't give experience or loot when killed.
  • The Southeast Beach of Artaeum is only accessible during this quest. For this reason, it may prove useful to begin this quest without completing it in order to maintain access to the Mystic Fishing Holes found here.

Bugs[edit]

  • The Ritemaster's pathing breaks while he walks through the College of Psijics Ruins. Once at the doors leading to the beach, he stops instead of going through them, as he instructs you to follow him. ?
  • The objective to speak to Ritemaster Iachesis and destroy the abyssal pearl on the beach can be skipped completely by going straight to and entering the Psijic Relic Vaults, which will teleport him inside and progress to the next objective. ?
  • The relic repository containing the stuff doesn't physically open when looting the staff from it. ?
  • While navigating the mindscape, small traveling circular AoEs can sometime appear. However, standing in them doesn't inflict any damage or negative effects. ?

Notes
* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
  • Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
  • Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
