The Ritual
Head towards the chapel. The road is quite long, so you can do some jobs in the meantime to earn some gold, chop the wood for example. After arriving at the destination get inside and talk to the abbot. He, however, won't be too talkative until you won't reach a certain level of renown. The quickest way to do that is to complete some side missions. You can also gain some points using the villagers - show them your trophies or use positive gestures. After getting your renown to an adequate level, return to the abbot. Your next mission is to escort a monk, who has to get some magical water from the Wellspring. Firstly you must search for the monk. He's drinking near the cave. After a short talk take the stairs down to the cave.
As you have probably noticed, you're escorting a woman - sister Hannah. The first part of the route is free of surprises, so just follow the trail. You will reach a big room with three closed doors. Your companion will step onto one of the platforms, which will pull up the first gate. Go along the trail until you reach the first water statue. Hannah will stand on one platform and you have to step onto the second one and wait until there is enough water in the jug (there's a meter in the bottom right corner).
After reaching 100% go back to the main hall. You will be attacked by hollow men. In the next phase you have to go through the second gate, which will be opened in the same way as the first one was. This time you will have to stand a little further from Hannah, take the stairs up. While the jug is being filled, hollow men will appear. Without getting off the platform, kill the enemies with a ranged weapon or magic (hold down (B), target with the left analog stick and let go of (B)). Once again return to the main hall.
Only the last one left. Once the gate opens up a bit, your dog will run under it and bring a hollow man's head, which isn't a good sign. Follow the path into another hall, in which you will have to fight a big group of hollow men, and then a headless hollow man. Don't let his name fool you - well, he will swing his sword around with no idea where you are, but when you get close enough to him, you will he shocked by lightning. To defeat him use a ranged weapon or magic. If you possess a second level spell, the hollow should die after a couple hard hits.
Follow the trail and you will reach the Wellspring - stand on the second platform for the last time. After a small talk you will get to know, that the abbot has been attacked. Sister Hannah will take a hammer from one of the statues and rush to help her father. Go up the stairs and exit the chamber.
