Detailed walkthrough[]

First the godwoken needs to open the entrances to the respective vaults. To do so the godwoken needs a "Scholar" tag and read a book named: The Taming of the Holy Fire.

One of the books can be found in the Archives on the north-eastern side of Bloodmoon Island.

The book is in the pile of books on the right side of the room.

Afterwards the godwoken has to approach atleast one of the three angel statues and sing the hymn described in the book.

Once godwoken entered one of the vaults they will receive a quest associated with the respective vault.If the godwoken are unable to enter the deeper part of the vault they have to find an ancient forge. Once they had found the forge they receive the quest Metalwork.

Metalwork[]

This quest is received after the godwoken finds a forge on the northern side of Bloodmoon Island.(X:317,Y:477)

The godwoken has to find "silver bars" which are scattered throughout the island and forge them into levers. One of the silver bars is right next to the forge.

The levers are essential for entering two of the three vaults.

Delusions of Greatness[]

The quest is accepted upon entering the vault at Bloodmoon Isle.(X:306,Y:392)

Once the godwoken enter it they have to speak with spirit of brother Robert. The Robert will refuse to speak with them until the godwoken had restored the lever to the door.

Inside the vault is a chained lizard Rajjarima, who is a godwoken as well. When godwoken speaks with her she firstly asks if they could set her free, in exchange for power. If they refuse she asks twice more. If they refuse her again she attempts to hypnotise them and the godwoken has to pass a persuasion check.

• The persuasion options are: Constitution, Intelligence, Strength and Wits.
• To pass the persuasion checks the godwoken needs 5 points in Persuasion.

The last option avaliable dialogue option forces godwoken to free Rajjarima who takes all source from the godwoken who freed her. This will also take place if godwoken fails the persuasion check.

The moment Rajjarima breaks free a fight takes place.

The quest can only be completed when Rajjarima dies.

Once player accessed her vault they have to persuade the spirit of Morgan, to allow them to go onward, by promising him that they will take her far away from the place and not harm her.

To be able to progress this quest the player must forge a silver lever and persuade a ghost of brother Morgan to be able to proceed deeper into the vault. Once in the vault the player may progress the quest in few ways:

The Sweet Shackles of Pain[]

This quest is accessed by reading a certain book about a possesed dwarf in the islands vault or by directly accessing the specific vault.

To get rid of possesion the godwoken has to be damaged. It should be noted that the demon may jump unto another character in its vicinity, if this happens the possesed character has to be damaged until the demon jumps out.
