Step 6: Returning to The Gallows

Leave Hightown and head to [The Gallows]. Curiously, where Emeric was standing before, you will now meet Moira #1. The Templar will be surprised to hear that you won't know anything about the planned meeting with Emeric #2. It is to take place during the night, nearby Darktown.

Step 7: Heading out for the meeting in a street by Darktown

Leave The Gallows and choose the newly unlocked [Blind Alley] from the world map #1. Once you get there, you will witness a Desire Demon killing Emeric #2. As you might have guessed, you're in for a very hard fight.

The basic impediment of this battle will be the necessity to eliminate a very large group of Shades. If you don't want to get surrounded by too many of them, return onto the stairs after Emeric's death. Wait for the Shades #1 and the Desire Demon to come here #2.

You can attract more monsters to come to the stairs or move on to more direct attacks #1. As I have mentioned, you would probably get surrounded by a big group of Shades #2, but many of them have short health bars and they wouldn't have any support from the Desire Demon. You have to keep fighting until you eliminate them all. If despite that nothing happened, explore the area to find out if some Shade didn't get "lost".

Step 8: Talking with Moira

Moira will appear here automatically after the battle ends and will demand explanations. If you let Gascard free, there will be three dialogue options #1:

• Confirming that he is the killer (upper right dialogue option). I definitely DON'T recommend this option, as it will allow the Templar to track Gascard down and the blood mage won't appear in the last quest connected with the serial killer.
• Explaining Moira that the case is more complicated than it looks (middle right dialogue option). In this case you will also be able to tell her that DuPuis headed out for Darktown or leave her without that knowledge (it's the better choice).
• Rejecting the idea that Gascard is the killer (lower right dialogue option). I recommend this option, as it will guarantee that Gascard will participate in the last quest connected with the serial killer.

If you have already killer Gascard, there will be two options available #2:

• Informing Moira of Dupuis's death (upper right dialogue option)
• Rejecting the idea that Gascard is the killer (lower right dialogue option)

Irrelevant of the chosen option, you will receive 1 sovereign and the quest will end.
