Speak with Polyeidus
After speaking with the Sage, you can start heading towards Polyeidus for Soul Searching. You can find him back at the Sealed Study, northern Norgan.
He remarks that three more slabs depict the history of Norgan and the Fallen Dragon. Your next objective will involve finding the derelict under the Norgan Snowfields.
Find Snowfield Valley Derelict Passage
To find the dungeon, you may have to navigate through a blizzard at the Norgan Snowfield. On your way there, be sure to bring some Heatstones. You may also opt to gear up, as the derelict is large, with numerous branching paths littered with tougher enemies.
Find and Transcribe the Three Slabs
| Slab Locations | ||
|---|---|---|
| Grotesquerie Slab | Hero's Blade Slab | Evil's Emergence Slab |
You will have to locate and transcribe Three Stone Slabs within the derelict. If you have previously helped Amos with his related sidequests, he will help map out the derelict for you.
Grotesquerie Transcription
You can find the Grotesquerie Slab near the Derelict entrance. You will encounter some Nokkens within that area. Just clear them out, and you will be able to find the slab propped up at a staircase.
Hero's Blade Transcription
The Hero's Blade slab is located on the same floor of the derelict as the Grotesquerie slab. It is further west of Basement 1 (B1F). You will have to slay a [red]Lesser Demon/red] to clear the area and transcribe the slab.
Evil's Emergence Transcription
| # | Slab Location |
|---|---|
| 1 |  To locate the Evil's Emergence Slab, you have to travel to the first floor (1F) of the derelict. |
| 2 |  Using the passage point, make your way to the area that looks like a pit, accessible only through a ladder. |
| 3 |  The slab's altar should be located in the middle of the pit. However, you will notice that the slab that you need to transcribe is broken and missing. |
| 4 |  You can find the missing slab right across the altar inside a hidden area. You won't miss it, as it is the first thing you see after investigating inside. |
| 5 |  After investigating the Evil's Emergence Slab, you might be stopped by a Snowfoot creeping back to its lair. Defeat it so you can leave. |
Report Back to Polyeidus
After collecting all three transcriptions, make your way back to the Sealed Study so that Polyeidus can study the remaining slabs. You will have to wait for one day until he is done.
Rescue Morgus
After waiting for a day, Polyeidus will instruct you and the soldiers to travel to Lorade Castetown. However, Morgus was ambushed by a Blemmyae while retrieving explosives. You can find him west of Putrid Copse.
It is a grotesque monster plagued by the gloom. Defeat it to rescue Morgus and the explosives. Just be careful when it tries to belly-flop on you; otherwise, you will take a lot of damage.
Travel to Lorade Castletown
| # | Walkthrough |
|---|---|
| 1 |  After rescuing Morgus, your team will try to set out for Lorade Castletown. However you will have to break open the gate by Sealed Study using the explosive barrels. |
| 2 |  Simply Pick up an explosive barrel and throw it at the gate. You will need a total of 4 explosive casks to completely break the gate. |
| 3 |  You will be ambushed in the process of breaking the gate. Be sure to take down the enemies after breaking the gate. You will talk to Wash again after succeeding. |
| 4 |  After the dust settles, make your way to the Castletown Campground to set up a new base of operation. There will be a coresponding portcrystal by the campground too. |
Investigate Abyss Ridge
Navigate through Lorade Casteltown until you reach Abyss Ridge. Reaching there is a bit tricky, as you need to walk through almost the entire area to arrive at the Ridge. You will know you have arrived once the Pathfinder visits you.
You will have to pass through the Castle Barracks Ruins to get up to there. You may also encounter tougher enemies such as a Lesser Demon and a Norgandian Dullahan along the way, so be prepared with curratives.
Seek Rovall's Will
After talking to the Pathfinder, you will be tasked with progressing with the tie-in quest, Where There's a Will, There's a Way. Once completed, you will be able to progress this questline again.
Where There's a Will, There's a Way Walkthrough
Regroup Back at the Castletown Campground
After helping Eir during the first half of Where There's a Will, There's a Way, head back to the Castletown Campground. The next step involves searching for Rovall's Soul. Simply walk towards the end of the campground towards the new section, Mordria Fault.
Decide Whether to Aid Eir in This Battle
After progressing through Mordria Fault, you will encounter the Fallen Dragon once again. However, Eir instructs you to follow the light. You are given the choice to either help Eir or continue finding the light.
Should You Help Eir?
Don't Help Eir and Seek Rovall's Light
The best choice is seeking Rovall's light. Based on our testing, it's more time-efficient to not aid Eir and just seek Rovall's light immediately. Since Eir requested that you leave her, she would, in turn, become upset if you aid her. Despite that, it has no story impact.
Make Your Way to Rovall's Light
Regardless of your choice, Eir will rejoin you towards the end. From there, simply navigate your way towards the bottom beyond the gate after defeating a Dullahan.
After reaching the area, a couple of cutscenes will play, and you will end up back at the Norgandian Settlement. This will promptly end the quest, and you will transition back to Where There's a Will, There's a Way.
