Get on the boat!

[edit] Walkthrough

Head off the boat towards the shore. One player must talk with Evennia to whom she will hand the Scepter of Orr. While held, the scepter grants +1 energy regeneration. If dropped on the ground, it will raise the energy of all nearby allies by +10.

Upon hitting the shore, dispatch the weak Inferno Imps on the hill. If you pull the Imps close enough, Evennia will help with fighting them. Proceed over the hill and defeat a second group of them. Head towards the shore then up the river northward. Here you will engage a few small groups of undead. At the end of the river, you will see exit ramps on both the east and the west, a bridge covering the gap above, and undead patrolling all around. Try to pull a group or two into the river to take care of them without interference from other patrols. Proceed to the western exit ramp and take out the group that patrols it. Once at the top of the cliffs, keep going north, avoiding the bridge. Follow this path and kill the undead boss that is on it.

From here, the path opens to the northern shore. White Mantle patrol the shores here, but they should not prove to be too difficult compared to Riverside Province. Proceed east, preferably following the southern path. You should see a patrol of four Hellhounds to the south. Defeat them and continue south. You will usually run into a second group of Hellhounds as well.

Here, you should be overlooking a poisonous swamp, occupied by a couple of Bone Dragons. Pull the dragons out of the swamp if possible and defeat them. On the far side of the swamp, you'll see another bone dragon, but this one has the ranger boss glow to it. Heal up and charge across the swamp. Try to get everyone out of the poison and engage the undead group. Healers should be ready, as it is nearly unavoidable to aggro the undead while the party has suffered some degeneration from the poison. Find the lever to the south to open a gate into an open field.

The field has a couple pairs of Inferno Imps and Hill Giants. They are only in groups of two, so it should not be difficult to defeat them. Continue up the hill to the south to find the Vizier (at point A on the map) and trigger a cut scene. In the scene, he will take back the Scepter of Orr, so the party cannot benefit from it for the remainder of the mission. However, he will create a few undead allies to aid you (although they tend to die easily).

Head back north, and this time to the east in the field towards an open gate with White Mantle guarding it including a boss. Defeat them and follow the path where you will run into a few more White Mantle patrols. It does not matter which path you take when you arrive at a fork, but most groups choose the western fork. The path eventually leads to the shoreline where the Vizier awaits along a dock (point B on the map).

Once you approach the dock, the Vizier will spend the next few minutes summoning a ship for your escape. Meanwhile, White Mantle will approach in small groups from both the east and the west. At least one of these groups contains a boss. Do your best to kill the groups before the next wave comes, otherwise it is easy to become overwhelmed by the sheer number of White Mantle that appear. If Khilbron dies, the mission is lost, so keep them away from him at all cost, especially from the Savants' Searing Heat. After a few minutes, the boat will emerge from the sea and come to rest at the dock. All players will see a message to board the ship, at which point at least one player must reach the end of the dock to end the mission.

Anomaly.

If the Vizier dies on the hill after you give him the staff, the mission will continue. However, he will not resurrect at the end of the mission to raise the boat, and you must restart in order to continue the campaign.

[edit] Bonus

Towards the beginning of the mission, after fighting the Inferno Imps, you'll notice a number of Lightning Drakes along the shore. Normally, you can avoid them, but if you push through them, you'll find a Restless Spirit (just behind a rocky hill). Whoever carries the Scepter must speak with him, and he will follow (don't get too far ahead of him, for he is believed not to follow). Proceed with the mission to the cut scene where the players hand the Scepter over to Vizier Khilbron. After the cut scene, talk with the spirit and he will follow. The spirit follows all characters equally, similar to the Eye of Janthir in the Divinity Coast mission, so the entire party must go to the cemetery for the spirit to follow. When the undead allies first appear if you are quick enough you can talk to the Smoke Phantoms, making them follow you like undead pets. It is especially helpful to keep the smoke phantoms alive in the later part of the mission. The goal now is to guide the spirit to a cemetery located southwest of the shore where the Vizier summons the boat at the end of the mission.

The first option is for the party to remain at the dock until the White Mantle cease to spawn. The mission ends only when a player boards the boat, so they may simply avoid it until the White Mantle are cleared, allowing an easy passage to the cemetery. This method is deemed faster because you won't need the careful pulling required by the second option. Keep in mind, though, that if your party is defeated, you will lose both the bonus and the mission.

The second option is to hug the rightmost wall, and the Vizier will not yet appear. Continue southwest until you find the cemetery for the bonus. While the party is at the cemetery, a large amount of White Mantle will gather around where Khilbron spawns, and they are very likely to kill him if you get too close and let him spawn. Return to north of the dock and pull the White Mantle groups far away from the dock one at a time with a longbow or a flatbow and then kill them. Be careful not to let the Vizier spawn by staying far enough away. Once you have killed the White Mantle, just walk to the dock to spawn the Vizier and wait for him to summon the ship. This method ensures you get the bonus even if you fail to complete the mission.

Bug.

Be sure that the Restless Spirit follows you; it can get stuck at several different points after the first cutscene, such as the cliffs overlooking the cemetery (near where you meet Vizier Khilbron); behind the first gate (that leads to the Hill Giants); and anytime two players get far apart (e.g. if you are running someone).

[edit] Note

During the first half of the mission before you meet the Vizier, the Restless Spirit does not actually follow the party - he follows the Scepter of Orr, and whoever holds it. If you want to clear the way through a dangerous area, drop off the Scepter and the Spirit will stand still until you pick it up again.

[edit] Intermediate Cinematic

For more information, see Sanctum Cay (cinematics).

Vizier Khilbron: "A sight for sore eyes, one of the greatest treasures of my now-ruined home."

Vizier Khilbron: "But while being reunited with the Scepter of Orr should be a cause for celebration, the events of today have saddened my heart."

Vizier Khilbron: "There is a traitor in your midst, one of the Shining Blade's own Inner Council."

<party leader>: "What? Who?"

Vizier Khilbron: "I believe you know him by the name Markis."

Vizier Khilbron: "He masquerades as your friend and confidant, but he is instead a White Mantle infiltrator."

<party leader>: "So he's the reason the Mantle knew about the Henge of Denravi."

Vizier Khilbron: "Yes, and he has sold you out again."

Vizier Khilbron: "There are White Mantle all over this island. They come now for the Scepter as we speak."

<party leader>: "We must get to the dock and warn Evennia."

Vizier Khilbron: "I'm afraid our tale grows darker still."

Vizier Khilbron: "The Mantle have already stormed her ship. It lies broken at the bottom of the harbor. Our friend Evennia has already been taken prisoner."

<party leader>: "Evennia's been taken?"

<party leader>: "That also means we're trapped here. That boat was our only way off Sanctum Cay."

Vizier Khilbron: "Do not lose hope yet, my friend."

Vizier Khilbron: "I can summon from the deep a ship that can carry us from this place."

Vizier Khilbron: "Make for the beach. Meet me at the dock, and I will perform the necessary ritual."

<party leader>: "There must be half of the White Mantle army between us and the beach!"

Vizier Khilbron: "Then you will need some help."

Vizier Khilbron: "Do not fear the walking dead. Through the Scepter they obey my commands."

Vizier Khilbron: "Hurry now, we haven't much time."

[edit] Intermediate dialogue

Vizier Khilbron: "You have taken a tremendous risk to deliver this artifact."

Vizier Khilbron: "Now I shall return the favor."

Vizier Khilbron: "Fear not the walking dead. They are our allies."

When talking to the Restless Spirit the first time.

Restless Spirit: "My spirit has been restless but the Vizier has enabled me to rest."

Restless Spirit: "Please take me to the grave of my family so I can finally find peace."

When talking to the Restless Spirit again.

Restless Spirit: "So many years of pain..."

When Vizier Khilbron appears the first time.

Vizier Khilbron: "There are far too many Mantle here for this to be a coincidence. I fear we've been set up."

When Vizier Khilbron appears the second time.

Vizier Khilbron: "It is as I feared. Councilor Markis must be the one who set us up. You will not be safe if you try to return to the mainland."

When Vizier Khilbron appears the third time.

Vizier Khilbron: "Our only chance is to make for the coast of the Crystal Desert. To the dock!"

After leading the Restless Spirit to his grave.

Restless Spirit: "Thank you friend."

Restless Spirit: "I can finally rest in peace."

When reaching the dock.

Vizier Khilbron: "This ritual takes my full concentration. Keep the White Mantle off my back, and we will make it out of here safely."

When Vizier Khilbron finishes the ritual.

Vizier Khilbron: "Hurry! On to the boat! We must make our escape!"

[edit] End Cinematic

Vizier Khilbron: "On the boat. Hurry. We must make our escape."

Vizier Khilbron: "Councilor Markis has sold you out. The mainland is no longer safe for you."

<party leader>: "We must get back to Denravi and warn the others!"

Vizier Khilbron: "I'm afraid it's too late for that."

Vizier Khilbron: "The Shining Blade have already been broken over the knee of the White Mantle."

Vizier Khilbron: "By now, those who are not already dead are fleeing into the Shiverpeaks."

<party leader>: "Then we go to the Shiverpeaks."

Vizier Khilbron: "A noble gesture, but throwing your lives away against a foe who you cannot beat will not help your friends."

<party leader>: "Then the White Mantle have won. All is lost."

Vizier Khilbron: "Do not be so sure. There is still a way to beat the White Mantle."

Vizier Khilbron: "Venture to the Crystal Desert and Ascend. Only then will you be powerful enough to take on the rest of the White Mantle and their unseen gods."

<party leader>: "What must we do?"

Vizier Khilbron: "Find the prophet, and claim the gift of True Sight."

<party leader>: "What?"

Vizier Khilbron: "That's right. You are all Chosen."

Vizier Khilbron: "And now you must venture through the desert. Prove yourselves worthy and claim your birthright."

Vizier Khilbron: "Then you will take this fight to them."

Vizier Khilbron: "Prepare yourselves. the trials of Ascension await."
