The mists envelop you for a moment, giving way to a woodland road that is at once familiar and strange.

What to Expect
- Respawning monsters
Known Traps
- Blade trap after the crest-locked door; no control panel, but there is a lever beyond them to shut them off.
Tips and Misc
- In order to drive off Strahd, kite him into the pool of water and reduce him to 0 health. When he is in the pool a Holy Water debuff will be applied to him.
- This quest contains a randomly located mysterious altar. Madam Eva might give you hints about its location.
- The buff from this altar will disappear if you use Dimension Door, but will remain when you recall from the quest as long as you remain in the wilderness.
- Madam Eva will draw three cards. The first card tells you a hint about where the Sunsword is located. Possible locations include the shepherd's field outside of the Abbey near the entrance, inside an ancient tomb immediately to the right of the quest entrance, inside a wine casket just down the steps from the Abbot, and inside a chest in the Mongrelmen barracks. The second card tells you where the Small Shrine is that gives you a temporary buff. Like the Sunsword, the Shrine can be either outside the Abbey, inside the Abbey, in the surgery ward, or in the basement dungeon area. The third card gives a clue to either a random optional objective with a loot chest, or to Ezmerelda who will help you fight Strahd in the final encounter. Some of the random named encounters include an Undead Lich in the outdoor graveyard near the entrance, and a group of Spectre healers in the surgery ward.
- The Tarnished Key is also in a random location outside the Abbey, but none of the Madame Eva cards refers to the Tarnished Key. The Key is either in the graveyard area, in the alley between the Abbey doors and the shepherd's pasture, in the pasture itself, or right near Otto and the door. The Tarnished Key is always located in plain sight, but surrounded by a few enemies.
- Possible cards from Madam Eva
- Miser: Seek the light where the Abbot hoards his most precious treasures - the sun of a hundred afternoons, sealed in bottles and aged into liquid hope.
- Bishop: Seek the light in the Bishop's bed. He sleeps among the monks of old.
- Druid: A blessing lies hidden here, in the cool shadows of the trees.
- Ghost: I see souls who searched for peace long ago. They found torment instead.
- The Dismal Shrine by the second set of shrines continuously spawns a Walking Corpse, which will slowly wander up the slope, every 15 seconds as long as somebody is in that section of the Abbey, until it is destroyed. The spawns seem to cap at four at a time, however.
- Ireena is just outside the door when you get to the pool of water and Shire of the White Sun. You have to open the door to let her in.
