Detailed Walkthrough

Preinrha awaits

Arriving at Pelin Graveyard, you'll either bump into a distraught gravedigger or a groggy noble, neither of whom understand why the graveyard is full of walking skeletons.

Notes

• The blue flames won't exist before starting the quest or reaching the related objective.
• A massive blue fog effect will appear around you for some time after cleansing the mausoleums, which can even follow around you while outside.
• During the objective to find a way into the church, a marker will remain above Quiston even after he has told you about the key, which itself places a new marker for you there. At that point nothing else can be asked of Quiston.

Bugs

• For some reason, it's not possible to cast AoE attacks within the room where you fight Preinrha. Attempting to do so cancels the attack and "Invalid Location" appears on-screen. ^?

	The resurrected prince asked me to investigate the royal crypt to see if any of his ancestors have risen as well. Hidden Objective: Enter the Royal Crypt Objective: Investigate the Royal Crypt

	The resurrected prince asked me to speak to the last knight that remains at his side, Dame Valyrie. He wants me to tell her what the voice in the crypt said. Objective: Talk to Dame Valyrie
	Dame Valyrie believes the strange blue flames around the crypts are inciting the undead to violence. She gave me some holy water to douse the flames, in the hope that it will pacify the undead Objective: Extinguish the Blue Flames
	I've extinguished more of the blue flames with holy water, and I should now meet Dame Valyrie by the south monument, where she thinks she saw someone "skulking around." Objective: Meet Dame Valyrie at the South Monument
	While I was dousing the blue flames with holy water, Dame Valyrie seems to have found a priest. I should ask her what he said. Objective: Talk to Dame Valyrie
	The priest didn't respond to Dame Valyrie. She suggested I approach him and find out what he knows about the undead rising here. Objective: Talk to the Priest

	Upon entering a mausoleum, the same strange voice I spoke to before announced its presence. I should speak to it and find out what its true intentions are. Hidden Objective: Mausoleum Objective: Talk to the Blue Flames
	I spoke to the strange voice again, and it accused me of betraying the prince. I should finish cleansing the mausoleums and then return to the church. Objective: Cleanse the Mausoleums
	Now that the mausoleums are cleansed, I should return to the church and speak to Dame Valyrie to find out if it had any effect on the prince. Objective: Talk to Dame Valyrie
	The resurrected prince has barricaded himself inside the church. I need to find a way into the church to try to help him. Perhaps Father Quiston knows another way to get in. Hidden Objective: Collect Key Objective: Find a Way into the Church
	I've made my way into the church. I need to find out what's become of the prince. Objective: Investigate the Church

Finishes quest	The prince is dead and put to rest. I should talk to Dame Valyrie and see what she plans to do next. Objective: Talk to Dame Valyrie

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.
