The beacon's fire pierces the night sky, sending a message of hope to the wounded people of the region and signaling that the Black Bears' siege has been broken.77Walkthrough99Follow the Soldier1111Exit the boss arena through the door and mount your horse. Ride alongside a soldier up a long hill.

At the summit, you need to ignite the brazier.1717How to Light the Beacon1919The recommended method is Concentrating Light: hold L1 + R1 (PlayStation) or LB + RB (Xbox), then press L1 / LB to focus the light beam on the brazier. Hold it for several seconds until the fire catches.2121An alternative method is to light an arrow using a nearby wall torch and shoot it at the brazier, but Concentrating Light is faster and more reliable.2323Story Context2525Lighting the beacon is a symbolic moment.

For the Greymanes, it marks the end of their role in the Calphade conflict, at least for now.2727Tips2929This quest has no combat.
