White Blizzard Chain
Cursed Mountain opens the three-part White Blizzard chain alongside Wraith in the Frost and Beloth, the Darksworn's Loot. The chain leads you to Hoenmark Ruins in the northwestern corner of Hernand, the mountain path the locals have been calling cursed.
Prerequisites
The quest is gated behind Chapter 6 of the main story. Until Chapter 6 is clear the wounded soldiers at Argent Peaks Outpost will not give you the lead.
Hoenmark Ruins
After finishing Chapter 6, travel to the mountain path in north-western Hernand.
Find the wounded soldiers at Argent Peaks Outpost (east of Hoenmark Ruins).
Speak with them to activate the Cursed Mountain lead.
Follow the quest markers up into the Hoenmark Ruins.
Clear the guard post and wraith-summoned enemies along the way.
Defeat the wraith encountered along the path. The quest text confirms: "When word spread that the wraith had been defeated, the soldiers rejoiced."
Progress onward into the ruins to trigger Wraith in the Frost and the subsequent Beloth, the Darksworn boss fight.
Tips
Wear frost-resistant armour or Abyss Gear. Ice damage scales hard in Hoenmark.
The blue floating spirit enemies inside the ruins are vulnerable to light-imbued attacks; swap into a light weapon before the push up.
Save scum at the outpost before engaging; Beloth later in the chain drops the Armor of the Shadows set, which makes the full chain worth stockpiling consumables for.
