Hillsbrad Castle

Initial version (2026-09-23)
Hillsbrad Castle is a castle in Arsilthus, the setting of The Relic: First Guardian. It has a garrison, an encampment nearby, and since Patch 16 it acts as a signposted junction, with a crossroads gate at its entrance pointing players toward several areas. Everything published about it comes from the post-launch patch notes.
Feature | What Is Known |
|---|---|
Garrison | Entering it completes the Plan of the Abyss event. Since Patch 12 this happens automatically for new and existing players, with no extra interaction |
Hillsbrad Encampment | The Patch 14 notes place it in Chapter 2, beside the spiral rock mountain that holds the Raider Encampment. Patch 16 also fixed an encampment near the castle showing the wrong location name on the map |
Crossroads gate | Added in Patch 16 in front of the castle entrance to guide players toward Hillsbrad Castle, Agnes, Zena and Koren |
Barrier | Added in Patch 16 in front of the castle to streamline event progression. It unlocks automatically once the boss Lena is defeated |
The crossroads gate names three other destinations. Agnes is also the name of an event whose markers were fixed in Patch 17. Zena is a boss whose room is reached after a large-scale battle, and Patch 16 made the music play without a break from that battle to the boss room entrance. Koren is spelled Coren in the Patch 13 notes, and the developers have not reconciled the two spellings. The Raider Encampment next to the Hillsbrad Encampment is covered on the Enemies page, and the events tied to the castle on the Quests and Events page.
A full layout of the castle, the chapter it sits in and any boss inside it have not been published. The patch history for each change is on the Updates and Patches page.
