Return to Alya | The Fire of the Mountain Darksiders 2 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Go through the north door shown on the above screen - they lead to a staircase. Downstairs, open the last chest. I also suggest leaving the fortress to talk to Karn so as to move forward the [Shaman's Craft] and [Lost and Found] side quests.
Open the world map (O button, fourth tab and SPACE), locate [Tri-Stone] and select Fast Travel (ENTER). After reaching your destination, go and talk to Alya. The game will unlock another main quest for you [The Tears of the Mountain]. You'll also receive the Redemption pistol and 1500 gold, as well as open the possibility of trade with Alya (she has weapons and clothing).
[TIP: Don't use fast travel until you've explored the whole of The Cauldron and talked to Karn; otherwise you'd have to go back there again.]
[TIP: Acquiring the Redemption pistol means you can now go to new locations. It's doesn't make any difference if you've only been completing main quests so far, but it's worth knowing if you've tried exploring optional dungeons.]
