The Sanctuarium | Mission 3 - Diplomacy Styx: Shards of Darkness Guide
Last update: 29 March 2017
In the sanctuarium you have a slightly different task. You have to eavesdrop on the conversations of the elves to find out something about the suspicious elf. You cannot trigger an alarm, since then the mission immediately ends in a failure. Nonetheless, the task is quite simple. After this stage, you will receive one Quartz, required for the master level improvements.
Eavesdrop on the rumours
Start by going under the table and to the end of the passage, where on the left you will find a window. Jump out of it to the stairs, go through the hall and wait at the bottom of the next stairs.
There are two guards: the one on the right will step away from her post a bit from time to time - this is the moment in which you must sneak behind her back and head further down the stairs.
At the bottom you will find a spacious room with an altar in the middle, and two elves inside it. Eavesdrop on their conversation while standing close to them and after it ends you will get a new mission objective. Now go back to the window, through which you have jumped onto the stairs on the way here.
Finding the body
The body, that you need to find can be located in various places around the sanctuarium. From the beginning the location of the search is marked on the map and leads to one of the large, usually empty chambers. The corpse is often hidden behind a wall or in a narrow passage. Just find it and approach it. You should do well to remember the road you took...
Take the information back to Helledryn: return to the starting room. When you are there, climb up to the small window in the wall and go to the end, where you talk to the woman.
Find Djarak
It's not over yet. You still need to follow the trail of Djarak's blood, which comes out of the next room. The trail is also clearly visible with the use of amber vision (then, the traces will have a white colour). Again, follow the road under the table to the vicinity of the window, but now head to the spiral stairs to the top. There, you should of course, avoid using the main door, but rather go through a small window in the wall. Go to the next set of steps.
The tower. Elude the guard that is standing with her front towards the tower by going on the external side of the barriers, and then go around the tower to climb upwards by using the handles. From there, just jump to the window which Djarak used to flee.
