Rise of the Fallen | Act II - side quests Dragon's Dogma Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
In short: Ser Maximilian asks for help concerning a mysterious cult. The quest becomes active after the meeting with the Duke (requires the completions of the Wyrm Hunt quests).
Difficulty level: Medium. The initial running around the city will be quickly turned into a battle with the undead.
At the beginning of the quest, go to the indicated location and eavesdrop on the conversation. Take information out of one of the cultist by threatening him (you don't have to pay him any money).
Now you need to go to the Catacombs.
There, use the elevator to go down to the lower level.
Run ahead until you reach a fork in the road, and open the gate (it's been closed, but now you have the key).
The further road leads back up, this time with a staircase.
The cultists' chamber is locked with a seal - you'll need five elements to unlock it. Look for them in the sarcophagi and chests in the further parts of the crypt.
The first gem is inside one of the two sarcophagi next to each other.
The second one is behind the corner, in the sarcophagus leaning against the wall.
To get the third, go off the route to a side room - over a wooden plank. The gem is inside the sarcophagus.
Moving forward, you'll enter a small labyrinth with branches to left and right. The fourth gem is in the left branch - in another sarcophagus leaning against the wall, near a chest.
The last, fifth gem, is in the other branch - again, inside a sarcophagus.
With five gems, you can now open the way.
In the next chamber there is Balsac to defeat. He'll be summoning Skeletons. Focus on him, backing away if needed.
Afterwards, collect the items from the chamber and report back to Ser Maximilian.
