On this page of the guide to Steelrising, we present a walkthrough for the quest In Memory of the Dauphin. This side mission is in your journal from the beginning of the game - you will do it throughout the majority of the game. You get it from Queen Marie Antoinette at the beginning of the game. Throughout its course, you will face the Royal Orpheus Titan and the Unstable Lumberer. Along the way, find a Note addressed to the king, Dr. Lemonnier's surgery and the armoire de fer. Don't forget to talk to Mirabeau.
Note addressed to the king
The first step to accomplish this task is to read the letter in Eugene de Vaucanson's Workshop. You can do this during the quest The Master of the Machines (more about it on a separate page of the guide).
You have a chance to continue the mission during the quest Troubled Waters. At some point, you will come across Mirabeau. After the obligatory conversation with him (about the main quest), talk to the man again about the dolphin.
Dr. Lemonnier's surgery
The opportunity to proceed with the quest will come when you visit the Luxembourg and do the quest The Shadows of Luxembourg after defeating The Alchemist of Luxembourg Titan - behind the square with the well, you will come across an alley with two roads coming out of it. The main mission requires you to go left along the scaffolding. First, however, go to the right, through the stone arch.
A Master-at-Arms, a Courier and a Heavy Prototype await you in the square in front of the building (you can read about these opponents on the pages, respectively: Guards, Arachnids and Prototypes).
After defeating the enemies, pull yourself up on the rope to the balcony. The doctor is not here, but pick up the letter he left on the table. Unfortunately, it is encrypted. You have to find the person who can read it. Go to Bailly.
You will find the man in the Cordeliers Convent after completing the main quest The Shadows of Luxembourg. He will decipher the notes for you. Go now to Lavoisier. The scholar is also at the rebel headquarters.
The chemist will inform you that the substance Bailly mentioned is a poison. Go now to the Horseless Carriage and in the correspondence tab send a letter to the queen. Now you have to wait.
The armoire de fer
The next clue is the pistol you will find by the iron safe during the side quest Monsieur Necker's two treasures. You have to take it to Mirabeau's house. We have described the path to that place in the walkthrough for the Troubled Waters quest.
After talking to the man, read the letter, which you will find near the fireplace. Now confront the new information with the diplomat. He will give you back some interesting note.
Back in Saint-Cloud
The task can only be continued after completing the main mission The Prisoner in the Bastille. You will then receive a message from the queen. You can read it in the Correspondence menu in the Horseless Carriage.
After receiving a message from the queen, head to Saint-Cloud. You should go to the other side of the river first. Cross it via the destroyed bridge. Jump over the breach using the Momentum Selenite.
From the bridge, head to the right. On the left, you will have a cemetery. There you will find a hole that you should jump into. Go down the tunnel. You will end up in a room where there is a Frost Acolyte (you can learn more about them on the Acolytes page) and a Heavy Prototype.
Cross the room and climb the stairs to the top. Then pull yourself up through the hole in the ceiling. Follow the path along the river. You will encounter a Pruner (you can read about this enemy here: Serpents).
Near the shrine on the right, just behind the Pruner, you will encounter a mini-boss Unstable Lumberer - you can learn more about him on the dedicated page. The opponent guards a gate that can be pried open. Destroy it and search the body behind it - you will find the key.
Get back on the road and keep following it. You will encounter a Heavy Prototype and an Ice Squire (a detailed description of this opponent can be found here: Cooks). Unlock the gate at the end of the path and head back across the bridge to the other side of the river.
Use the key to open a large gate near the Horseless Carriage. In the square behind it is a Hoplite and 2 Prototypes. Follow the wide road leading through the courtyard.
You will reach a large square with a shallow artificial lake, where there are 2 Violinists (read about them on the Musicians page) and a Courier. Turn left. Head towards the fountains. Pass them and go all the way to the water terraces. Along the way, you will come across a Hoplite and 2 Tiger grenadiers (for information about them, visit the Felines page). Your target is guarded by a Ballista Ram (to learn about it, see the Rams section).
Now jump on the higher part of the water terraces to the very top (you can also go around the area through the gate on the left, but this will be the fastest route). Once you are at the top, go straight. Go up the stairs and unlock the gate.
You will reach another large square. There will be a Statuary Ram in the water. In the back, on the rise, is a Vestal. From the respawn, head to the palace. The queen is already waiting for you. A cut-scene will start and you will get the key.
Now return to the square from where you climbed the stairs and unlocked the gate. Looking from the side of the palace, you will find a large artificial pond to its left. It is guarded by 2 Stalkers and a Master-at-Arms. Behind them are stairs, and at the top of them is a gate that can be unlocked with the key. Walk through it.
On the left is a path and stairs. The first option will lead you to a shortcut leading to front of the residence. You will be able to open the gate. The second option leads straight to the Titan. Go up. The courtyard you'll come across has a Musketeer and a Hoplite.
Climb over the crates and jump to the arena. You will face The Royal Orpheus Titan. You can read more about this opponent on a separate page of the guide.
After the fight, you will have another conversation with the queen. You have to decide whether to tell her about the information obtained earlier from Mirabeau. You'll complete the mission.
