Quest Details

Objectives

1. Speak with allies at the staging area and prepare for the final push

2. Rally the volunteers who will join the assault

3. Complete farewell interactions with key companions

4. Depart toward the Forbidden Gate alongside the brave volunteers

Walkthrough

This quest is more narrative-driven than combat-focused. After the setback in Deferred Advance, the allied forces regroup and Kliff must rally those willing to continue the fight.

Speak with your companions at the Greymane Camp and other staging areas. Several dialogue sequences develop character relationships and set the tone for the final confrontation. Once all farewells are complete, the brave depart toward the gate leading deeper into the Abyss.

Preparation Checklist

Before departing, make sure you have completed the following:

• Fully upgrade your best weapons and armor at a smithy or the Greymane Camp forge

• Stock up on Grilled Meat, Palmar Pills, and any other recovery items

• Equip your strongest Abyss Cores for the difficult encounters ahead

• Complete any remaining faction quests or challenges you want to finish, as there may be limited opportunities to return

Tips

• Take your time with the dialogue. This quest contains significant character development moments that add emotional weight to the finale.

• This is your last chance to prepare before the final sequence of the game. Make sure everything is in order.

Tips and Strategies

• Save your progress before starting this quest, especially if you are playing on a higher difficulty setting.
