Background

Walkthrough

For this quest you’ll need to gain the favor of at least one of the gods. This will require you to travel to Teir Evron, aka the Hall of Stars, which is located in Elm’s Reach (Exit A). Inside the hall, you’ll find a Luminescent Adra Shard on an altar (#1). When you place the shard on the pedestal in the center of the room (#2), the hall will light up, and several shrines will become interactive. Clicking on the shrines will allow you to communicate with the gods.

To gain the favor of the gods, you’ll have to catch their attention (by saying their ritual words or fighting their guardians), and you’ll have to complete a quest for them. After that, they’ll tell you what they’d like to see happen with the souls Thaos has captured, and they’ll offer you a boon. You’ll be able to complete all of the quests of the gods, but you’ll only be able to accept one of their boons, so choose carefully. The god information is summarized in the table below.

After gaining the favor of one of the gods, you’ll need to make your way to Breith Eaman. You can reach it by traveling to Oldsong, then taking the boat to Burial Isle, and then jumping into the pit in the northern part of the island. When you arrive in Breith Eaman, the quest (and Act III) will come to an end.
