Walkthrough
Speak with the Nun
After completing The Dark Veil, follow the quest marker along the road from the Goldleaf Tradepost. A nun is standing by the roadside with two strangers. A cutscene triggers where she explains that their community's healer is in danger and she needs help immediately.
Travel to the Healer's House
Mount your horse and ride to Windland Heights, located southeast of the Goldleaf Tradepost near Unicorn Cliff. When you get close, a cutscene shows the house engulfed in flames.
Rescue the Trapped Man (Timed: 2 Minutes)
After the cutscene, a 120-second countdown begins. You need to act quickly:
Clear the entrance: Two large wooden logs block the doorway. Use Nature's Grasp (Triangle + Circle / Y + B, then tap X/A) to lift each log out of the way.
Enter the building: Run inside once the path is clear. The interior is partially collapsed and on fire.
Find Marten: The unconscious man is lying on the floor in the back-right area of the building.
Carry him out: Press Square/X to pick him up, then walk him back outside to safety.
A cutscene plays once you bring Marten outside. The nun and her companions explain that their actual healer, Hubert, has been kidnapped by bandits. They ask Kliff to find and rescue him.
Notes
The two-minute timer is generous if you know what to do. The Nature's Grasp animation takes a few seconds per log, and the path to Marten is short. Most players finish with over a minute to spare.
If you fail the timer, you respawn right before the burning building and can try again immediately.
The Abyss Artifact reward is useful for upgrading your abilities on the Abyss skill tree. Do not forget to pick it up.
Hubert, the kidnapped healer, becomes the focus of the next quest.
