Mark of the Scar

Quest Details

Overview

Mark of the Scar is a quest in the Shattered Ties sub-chapter of Chapter 9: The Sage of the Desert. The monks at the Cloister sense the deep conflict within Kliff and guide him to confront the origin of his scar, the wound inflicted during the Black Bears' devastating ambush on the Greymane Camp. The quest interweaves flashback sequences with present-day exploration.

Objectives

• Meditate at the marked shrine in the Cloister's courtyard

• Fight through the flashback sequence during the original Black Bears ambush

• Defeat the shadow of Myurdin

• Return to the present and speak with the Chief Monk

Walkthrough

Interact with the shrine in the Cloister's courtyard to trigger a flashback. Kliff relives the night of the Black Bears' attack, showing how he received his signature scar while protecting his comrades.

In the flashback vision, you control Kliff during the original ambush. Fight off waves of Black Bear soldiers using only basic equipment. The combat is scripted to end with Kliff being overwhelmed. At the climax, a spectral version of Myurdin appears. This shadow version fights with a simplified moveset compared to the real Myurdin. Dodge his overhead slashes and counter with quick combos. The fight ends after you reduce his health by roughly half.

Kliff wakes from the meditation visibly shaken but with a clearer understanding of the wound he carries. The Chief Monk comments that acknowledging the pain is the first step toward overcoming it.

Tips

• The flashback combat sequences use your current gear and stats, so they are not artificially difficult.

• The shadow Myurdin encounter serves as a story beat rather than a true boss fight.
