11Xardas is a powerful necromancer and a former member of the Fire Circle. He was present at the ritual that raised the Barrier before breaking away from the Fire Mages to study The Sleeper on his own. Alkimia Interactive revealed his in-game appearance in the August 2025 Xardas trailer.22Tower44Xardas's tower is a confirmed landmark in the remake. Alkimia's Making Of #5 episode ("Bringing the World to Life," released February 2026) specifically shows the tower returning in a new, modernised form, and the building is one of the remake's pre-release wayfinding anchors alongside the Old Camp Castle.66The Break88Xardas left the Fire Circle to study the Sleeper in isolation. He now lives far from any of the three camps, which is one of the reasons he is able to pursue research the other mages will not touch.1010Role in the Story1212In the later stages of the campaign, Xardas becomes the Hero's main source of direction. After the Water Mages' Focus Stones plan fails, Saturas sends the Hero to Xardas. His tower becomes the staging point for investigating the Sleeper and restoring Uriziel. See Chapters for the broader narrative structure.1414Patch 1.0.4 (July 31, 2026) fixed a late-game encounter issue in which Mad Xardas' summons being killed right away caused him to teleport away permanently.1616Patch 1.0.5 (August 27, 2026) fixed Mad Xardas and the mad versions of the Hero’s friends becoming unresponsive after loading the most recent autosave, and a crash that occurred when teleporting from the Free Mine to his tower with summoned skeletons active.

Enter the open left doorway and speak to the friendly demon. It requires three golem hearts before granting access to Xardas.2727HeartLocationUseful damage typeFire GolemCavern behind the lavafall across from the tower. Cross the bridge to the right and climb to its entrance.Ice spellsStone GolemTake the path left of the tower entrance into the canyon with a large tree.Blunt weaponsIce GolemTake the left path from the tower, then turn left again onto the snowy uphill route. Tundra Wolves guard the approach.Fire spells2929Collect each heart from the defeated golem. The Ice Golem can freeze the Hero with projectiles and summon smaller golems, so use the entrance for room to dodge. Return all three hearts to the demon for Teleport to the Necromancer, which reaches the tower's upper floors.3030Xardas considers the Sleeper a greater threat than the Barrier plan. Speaking to him completes the quest for 2,000 XP, teaches Orcish II, and begins A Shaman Shunned. Find Ur-Shak at the Old Citadel, clear the Razors around him, and mention Xardas. Ask about further language training before leaving.32+Tower access and later assistance34+Xardas waits on the second or top floor of his tower in Orc territory during Chapter 4. After the three golems are defeated, the tower demon rewards you with the Teleport to the Necromancer rune, which takes you to the top floor. Xardas teaches Orcish II during the meeting.36+After The Dreamer's Nightmare, ask about better armor to receive his lead on the Robe of the Dark Arts in the Sunken Tower. He can also remove the rune from Uriziel to create Uriziel's Wave of Death. That conversion is irreversible, so decide whether you want to keep the weapon before choosing it.
