Return to the Abbey

You’ll complete this objective when you enter the abbey (#1).

Perform the Ritual

To perform the ritual, you’ll just need to interact with the ceremonial altar (#5) and follow the dialogue options to light the braziers and recite the incantation. Once you’ve completed the ritual, the door to the north (#6) will open, and you’ll also earn 1535 xp.
