Chapter 1 - Volcano Keep Quests - Part 1 Risen Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Pallas will welcome you in the Monastery's threshold (M4.3). If you came here by your own free will and you have the recommendation from Carlos (M2.58) (see Class Choice), you'll able to choose from between a mage (melee weapons / magic crystals / runes) and an warrior of the order (melee weapons / magic crystals / magic scrolls). Depending of your choice (or not... because if you have been brought here by force, you will be only able to become a warrior), you will be sent to Kalib (M4.5) (on the left, warrior path) or Taylor (M4.4) (right, mage).

Follow!

This task will begin automatically after you ask Kalib (M4.5) (or Taylor (M4.4) if you came to the Monastery out of your own will and choose the mage path) to show you where you can rest. Once you enter the courtyard, Aric will talk to you (M4.7) and another task will begin. Your guide will tell a little about the courtyard and head forward. The Inquisitor is awaiting you with a new quest. A word with the guide will end the mission.

Get yourself a fighting staff

This quest will be given to you by Aric (M4.7). You will get the staff from the blacksmith - Karlsen (M4.9), whose workshop is at the courtyard. Let Aric know about the new weapon to end the task.

Sweep out the chambers

If you didn't give Aric (M4.7) the required respect (call him by his name, ask to repeat) he will order you to sweep up at least ten rooms. The broom can be found near Pallas (M4.3) - in the room to the right from the Monastery entrance. The dusted rooms are those to which Kalib (M4.5) guided you in the Fallow! Quest and some from the upper level (behind Vitus (M4.12)). Clicking on a pile of dust will result in cleaning it up. After cleaning up 10 rooms, report to Aric.

Basic Training

This quest will appear once Aric (M4.7) gets to know that you have obtained the staff. You have to fight three enemies. The first one is Tucker (M4.10) (who will increase your strength), the second is William (M4.8) (he'll teach you how to fight with a staff) and the last one is Kato (M4.6). Beginning a fight with each of them will result in a new quest. Despite what you might think, you don't have to fight with a staff.

Tucker (M4.10) and William (M4.8) aren't hard. As for Kato (M4.6), you'll have to fight him twice. Firstly he'll attack you on the courtyard and then the fight will move to the arena. The last enemy is Aric (M4.7). If you can't beat him take a look at the next quest. After you're done inform Vitus (M4.12) o about finishing the basic training. You will be granted access to the upper part of the Monastery.

Trick Aric

In case you lose the fight with Aric (M4.7), you should talk with William (M4.8), who will send us to the man near Caspar's quarters (M4.13). Your next target is Dalman (M4.15), from whom, after a long conversation you'll receive the fireflush. Apart from that, you should also have two normal wines; you can buy them from Dalman for 20 coins. Now head to Karlsen (M4.9) and scrounge the worst sword in the world from him.

Now, during the conversation with z Aric (M4.7), offer the wine and choose the 1st dialogue lines. Now you can beat Aric with his own sword.
