OVERVIEW
Kliff returns from his first Abyss excursion to tackle a bandit outpost and discover two powerful new abilities. This quest also introduces the Visione helmet and Memory Fragments system.
LIONCREST WATCHTOWER
Before heading out, check Kliff's skill tree — respec is cheap (Faded Abyss Fragments), so experiment freely.
Tip: Prioritize Stamina upgrades. Most traversal abilities require 200 minimum.
The watchtower is west of Hernand, occupied by bandits. Prepare by stocking healing items from the Hernand Inn or hunting deer in the nearby woods.
Liberating the outpost:
- - A percentage meter appears above the minimap
- - Kill bandits to drop it to zero; survivors flee when morale breaks
- - Stealth isn't viable here due to sheer numbers
- - Use the front entrance as a chokepoint to avoid getting swarmed
- - You can retreat and return later if overwhelmed
Loot the fallen bandits — Bandit Cloth Armor is worth a few Silver at shops.
To enter the tower, burn away the vines blocking the entrance. Options:
- - Hold an arrow over the nearby brazier, then shoot a fire arrow at the vines
- - Use Concentrating Light with your sword
THE VISIONE HELMET
Inside the tower's upper floor, pick up the golden helmet — the Visione. This lets you see Memory Fragments, echoes of past events scattered across Pywel.
To use it:
- Use your lantern to illuminate faded holograms
- Open the radial wheel and find the Visione in the armor tab
- Select and play the Memory Fragment
Memory Fragments appear everywhere in the world, not just during quests. Keep the Visione handy.
REUNION WITH RULUPEE
Head back to the courtyard to find Rulupee (the child from the cat quest in Hernand). Follow her cat up the hillside to a flowery field overlooking the city, then into stone ruins nearby.
New abilities unlocked:
- - Nature's Grasp — lift extremely heavy objects (watch the hologram demonstration, then lift the stone wall)
- - Focus — regenerate Spirit without items (vulnerable during use, best for exploration)
STONE PAD PUZZLE
Behind the wall are three stone pads. Use Force Palm (not Axiom Force) to punch them. Hitting one shifts the others, so keep striking until all three connect and the blue power line runs from one side to the other. Use Focus to regenerate Spirit if needed.
Reward: Abyss Cresset from the pedestal outside. These are found throughout Pywel via environmental puzzles, and each one yields an Abyss Artifact.
Approach Rulupee at the cliff to complete the quest. Reward: Palmar Pill.
