Getting Inside the House of Healing
The House of Healing is a restricted facility, and Kliff cannot simply walk in. There are three ways to gain entry:
Method | How to Do It | Cost |
|---|---|---|
Buy the Priest Outfit | Speak with the man at the corner of the buildings across the bridge from the House of Healing. Purchase the Halssius Priest costume set and equip it. | 10 Silver |
Buy a Visitor's Pass | Speak with a stranger near the bridge who directs you to the Church of Hernand. Purchase a St. Halssius Visitor's Pass there. | Varies |
Stealth | Climb the rooftops and crouch through the grass past the guards. Stay undetected to reach the interior without a disguise or pass. | Free |
The priest outfit method is the simplest. The outfit also doubles as a quest reward that you keep afterward.
Investigate the House of Healing
Once inside, head to the main building's second floor. Go to the south wing above the inner courtyard. In the hallway, you will find a man attacking patients. This is Yann, who has been driven to a violent frenzy by a Visione helm experiment. He has been strapped into a device that forces visions into his mind.
A confrontation with the House of Healing Overseer follows. Yann overpowers the Overseer and breaks free.
Follow Yann
Chase Yann as he flees across the rooftops. He eventually drops down into a cottage on the far side of the facility. When he emerges, board the Pywell Wagon with him. The wagon ride takes you to Nas River Fishing Dock, where the quest concludes.
Notes
You can also pick up an Abyss Artifact inside the House of Healing during the investigation phase. Check corners and side rooms before chasing Yann.
The priest outfit is the most practical entry method since you keep it as a reward regardless of how you enter.
Yann becomes an important Greymane companion going forward. His violent state is a direct result of the Visione technology, which plays a larger role in the story.
If you choose the stealth route, getting spotted by guards forces you into combat with them. Defeating them still lets you proceed, but the disguise routes are quieter.
