THE UNYIELDING SHIELDS
Collectibles: Special Equipment × 1 (Shield of Betrayal)
Quest Chain: A Thousand Troops → Traitor (BOSS) → All Quiet on the Front → News of Victory → Return Home
A THOUSAND TROOPS
The routed enemies flee into the castle. Follow the markers and charge in — you'll reunite with Wonka inside.
TRAITOR — BOSS FIGHT: CASSIUS MORTON
Push into the innermost room of the castle to trigger the boss fight against Cassius Morton.
Mechanic Kill (Recommended): This fight has an environmental kill mechanic. Several toppled stone pillars are scattered around the arena. Fight the boss normally, then when the opportunity arises, press the combo key to lift a pillar and slam it onto him. Each hit deals roughly half a health bar of damage — two pillar slams should end the fight.

Reward: Special Equipment "Shield of Betrayal"
Build Tip: The Shield of Betrayal has excellent stats. Pair it with the rapier "Gentleman's Oath Sword" (from an earlier main quest). Hold block then light-attack to perform a shield-bash combo similar to Elden Ring's shield poke — very effective against tough enemies.
ALL QUIET ON THE FRONT
Wait for your allies to enter the castle. Speak with them to complete this section.
NEWS OF VICTORY — LIGHT THE BEACON
Follow the soldiers outside and ride on horseback (stealth mode). At the beacon tower, enter the front gate and walk all the way to the top. Use Radiant Reflection — Focused Light to ignite the beacon fire.
