Seal the Rifts at Lorade Castle

# Walkthrough
1
Talk to Eir at Lorade Castle and tell her you spoke with the Sage. She will place a Magick Barrier to guard Sir Rovall’s remains, and your main pawn will stay behind to protect them.

Select “I am” when she asks if you’re ready to proceed.
Note: This part is required to progress Soul Searching, which is a tie-in quest to progress the overall story in the DLC.
2
Your pawns won’t join you for this part, so only you and Eir will proceed. Go to the south side of the area, then use a climbing hook to climb the ramparts. Head to the statue to activate it.

A climbing hook can be found right below the tether post in case you don't have one.
3
Head to the northern side of the area, but don’t take the stairs. Use the passage on the side of the rampart instead. Eir will boost you up to get to the top part of the ramparts, so you can lower the ladder for her.

Get to the northern-most part of the rampart then activate the statue.
4
Once all of the statues have been activated, Eir will then ask for your help to seal the final rift and head out first. Your pawns will then join you. Head to the marked area southwest of your position to seal the final entryway.

Select “I am” when Eir asks if you are ready to proceed. 3 Revenants will then come out of the rift.
5
Defeat the 3 Revenants. Each has multiple health bars and can be tough if you’re underprepared. Afterward, a heart emerges from the portal and speaks to Eir.

She will ask you to find her master’s soul while she searches for his will.

Find Sir Rovall’s Soul

# Walkthrough
1
Talk to Polyeidus in the Sealed Study. He gives you the Transcription Kit and sends you to the passage beneath the Norgan Snowfield.

This takes place during the Soul Searching quest. You can skip it if you've already completed it.
2
Transcribe the 3 slabs in Snowfall Valley Derelict Passage. The Grotesquerie slab can be found in an alcove in the first corridor of Level B1F.

Hero’s Blade can be found past a lesser demon in the flooded pillar room, on the wall above the chest on the same level.
3
The Evil’s Emergence is in the round hall with the broken slab on level 1F. Blow open the rubble-blocked door with a nearby explosive cask to reveal the half of the slab to transcribe it.

Deliver the transcriptions to Polyeidus afterward. Wait a day, then speak again to Polyeidus.
4
After talking to Polyeidus, you will have to rescue Morgus in Putrid Copse. You will have to fight the Blemmyae that attacked Morgus's party.
5
After defeating the Blemmyae and rescuing Morgus's party, you'll have to breakdown the castletown gate. Throw the explosive casks at the gate, and if you ran out of explosive casks, attacking it will do just fine.
6
Navigate through Lorade Castletown until you reach Abyss 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, where you will encounter tougher enemies such as Lesser Demons along the way, so be prepared with curratives.
7
Head to Mordria Fault where 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?
8
Regardless of your choice, Eir will rejoin you towards the end. From there, simply navigate your way towards the bottom beyond the gate.

After reaching the area, a cutscene will play, and you will end up back at the Norgandian Settlement, concluding the Soul Searching quest, allowing you to progress.

Travel to Mordria Temple

# Walkthrough
1
Port to the Shrine of Wisdom and talk to the Sphinx. It will agree to fly you to Mordria Temple on the far side of Niflhel.
2
Defeat the Lesser Demon that appears, then speak to the Sphinx once you're ready to depart for Mordria Temple.
3
The Sphinx will agree to carry you to the temple, then a cutscene will play where the Sphinx will explain the entire situation regarding the Fallen Dragon and Eir's Arisen.

We recommend that you prepare thoroughly before journeying to Mordria, as there will be difficult battles ahead.

Explore Mordria Temple

# Walkthrough
1
Climb the stairs to the temple. Eir will be waiting for you in front of the temple entrance.
2
Explore the temple. You will encounter multiple elite enemies as you progress, defeat them as you go deeper.

At the far end of the temple, there will be an elevator. Eir will say that the Fallen Dragon awaits at the top but it isn't time to face it yet.
3
Skip the elevator. Take the opening on the right instead.
4
Head down in the open area and keep going down the side of the cliff. The path is treacherous and there will be Stragglers nearby so be careful.

There will be an ice-covered hidden path in the snowy outer area. Break it and slide down.
Note: In the photo, the ice has already been broken.
5
Follow the rocky path down into the castle area. Eir will mention that the door is locked, and you'll need to find the key . A Blemmyae will appear while Eir is talking.
6
After defeating the Blemmyae, take the key from the guard’s corpse in the eastern corner of the same room and unlock the door. Eir leads the way but gets separated when she jumps onto a ledge.
7
Descend the rocky terrain carefully, where Eir waits at the bottom. Two Lesser Demons will attack in succession; defeat both of them to proceed.
8
Continue down the path. You’ll pass a riftstone here, you can use it to swap pawns before the boss fight. Proceed to the heart once you're ready and a cutscene will play.

Defeat Willan Barbatos

# Walkthrough
1
Fight Willan Barbatos. When his health is depleted, he retreats through a portal. Eir will say you need the Godsbane, to follow him.

A Godsbane is acquired at the end of Soul Searching, once you pick up the sword at the end of the cutscene.
2
Talk to Eir and enter the portal. After a cutscene, you fight Willan Barbatos again, now with 6 Revenants and a constant stream of summoned enemies.
3
Defeat him then watch the cutscene. Eir confirms Sir Rovall’s will and soul are restored and the Fallen Dragon can now be slain, which ends the quest.
