1111 How to Trigger the Quest
1212  
1313 The Mysterious Arrow quest is gated behind progress in the Hernandian Parish of Solumen faction chain. Players need to clear the first four quests of the parish line, ending with the relic-return objective, before the trigger NPC will appear.
1414  
1515 Once the 4th-of-6 parish quest is complete, travel to the Church of Hernand and look for a priest standing outside the church entrance. Approach him for the dialogue that begins with "Blessings upon you, child." He hands the player a note, and reading the note adds the Mysterious Arrow quest to the journal automatically. The note also unlocks the 5th-of-6 and 6th-of-6 parish quests on the faction tracker.

2222 What the Quest Leads To
2323  
2424 Following the Mysterious Arrow note advances both the 5th-of-6 and 6th-of-6 parish quests in one continuous trail. Recover the arrow at the indicated location south of Hernand Highlands, then follow the note's directions southeast to the Bloodied Sanctum. Defeating the boss inside the sanctum closes both quests at once and drops the Goldbranch Plate Crown, an Epic headgear piece with the Storm Fang abyss gear embedded in it.

2626 Storm Fang sends out lightning bolts that chain between enemies when triggered by lightning-imbued attacks, making the Mysterious Arrow chain the canonical in-game route for any player building a Lightning Element loadout. After looting the crown, take it to any of the Witch's Workshops to extract Storm Fang and re-embed it into preferred armor.
