- Questline: Night Terrors > A Monk and a Saint > Forge It Anew
- Quest Description: Strange sounds can be heard from the cathedral’s courtyard at night. What causes them?
Objectives:
- Locate the source of howling
- Explore the bottom of the well
Starting Location: Night Terrors
Night Terrors is unmarked and can only be started at night. Go to the courtyard north of the Svartrau City cathedral. You will hear some noise coming from underground which starts the quest.
WARNING – This quest is mutually exclusive with the quest A Dubious Gift which is associated with the Xanthe Court activity “Cathedral Ritual”. Triggering this quest at all seems to prevent you from starting that other quest, meaning you then cannot finish all possible Court activities. If you want to complete all possible Court activities, avoid going near the Svartrau Cathedral during the night to avoid triggering this quest. For trophies/achievements it doesn’t matter if you do “Night Terrors” or “A Dubious Gift“, they both lead to the next quest “A Monk and a Saint“.
Locate the source of howling
In the courtyard on the north side of Svartrau cathedral, inspect the well (night only). This starts a short cutscene where Coen removes the wooden boards on the well.
Explore the bottom of the well
Drop down into the well, then crouch to enter the cave down there. In the next cave section use Focus Mode (L2/LT), inspect the body next to the wall that will be outlined yellow. Inspect the pouch on the right side of the body, it contains a note.
This automatically starts the next quest A Monk and a Saint, which will lead you to St. Mihai’s Sword.
This finishes Night Terrors side quest in The Blood of Dawnwalker.
