Open location and related items

Use your current A Monk and a Saint objective to gain access to the cathedral and identify Saint Mihai’s symbol. The linked walkthrough explains the library and stained-glass investigation route.

  1. Find the memorial stone bearing Mihai’s symbol in the side courtyard by the cloisters.
  2. Enter the crypt beneath the memorial and complete the encounter with Saint Mihai. Prepare for combat before entering.
  3. Follow any remaining sword-pickup objective and check Inventory for the Broken Sword of St. Mihai. Finding the nearby readable is not the sword reward.
  4. Search Mihai’s cell with Focus Mode and read his notes for the lead to the uriashi smith.

The cathedral has alternative investigation leads and a nighttime entry objective when closed. Follow the objectives offered in your current quest state.

Follow Forge It Anew: Executive Order. Investigate the cave the soldiers have already searched, then follow the lead to their nearby camp.

  1. Enter the camp’s tent through its open front.
  2. Turn right inside and look for the small chest sitting on a barrel.
  3. Loot the Sword Shard from that chest. Searching the soldiers or the emptied cave does not replace this pickup.

Finish Withering Away: prepare Esme’s medicine

  1. Leave the house behind Pieter and follow his quest marker up the rocky path. Stay on the path between the rock faces as he leads you to the clearing.

  1. Approach the timber building and use the short raised wooden approach to its open doorway. The entrance sits between heavy wooden posts, beneath the damaged roof.
  2. Enter the ground-floor room and find Anca by the books and tables. Speak to her and open trading when the option is available.
  3. Look for Endless Effort Manual in Anca’s shop. If offered, check the displayed price and buy it.
  4. Read the manual in Inventory, then visit a Road Shrine to spend the Skill Points and learning time required by the unlocked rank.
