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
- 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. (See below for a list of possible cards and their meaning)
- The 1st card tells you a hint about where the Sunsword is located. Possible locations include...
- the shepherd's field outside of the Abbey at the far end from 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
- inside a chest in the Mongrelfolk barracks.
- The 2nd card tells you where the Small Shrine is that gives you a temporary buff. This Shrine can be either...
- outside the Abbey
- inside the Abbey
- in the surgery ward
- in the Root Cellar.
- The 3rd 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
- 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.
- Except the first journal all others have several spawn locations within a fixed zone:
- #2: West Wing
- #3: East Wing upper
- #4: East Wing lower
- #5: Root Cellar
- The Explore the Abbey objective is completed after you move through the hallway in the East Wing with the Mongrelmen in the siderooms.
- Optional: This also triggers the optional objective to "Tell the Abbot what you think of the Abbey". You can now go back to the Abbot and engage him in conversation about his actions. Chose the dialogue option, "From what I've seen so far, I think that you're insane" to trigger a fight. The Abbot will destroy the nearby shrines and shift into his corrupted Deva form. Killing him will spawn a chest that can contain named items for the quest.
- A hatch is located in the southern room at the end of the hallway, which leads into the Root Cellar.
- Use the lever on the right side of the room to open the gate. A group of Grim Shadows will spawn after you pull the lever. At the end of the corridor is a room with 3 doors, and more groups of Grim Shadows. One of the doors is locked and requires two crests to open. One crest can be found in this room. The eastern door leads to a room that contains the other crest, as well as Crawling Claws. The northern door is locked, but can be picked and has a locked chest with random loot (Lock DCs).
- Past the door locked by the crests is a corridor, at the end of which is another room with a Rest and a Resurrection shrine, along with a "Dismal Shrine". The Dismal Shrine 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. The door out of this room opens into a tunnel, at the end of which is another door leading to the Shrine of the White Sun and the end sequence for the quest.
- The Shrine of the White Sun is in a large open area enclosed by a fence on all sides, and overlooks a pool of water. There is one door in the fenced walls, Ireena is just outside. To avoid bugging the quest and rendering it incompletable:
- Open the door to let Ireena in but do not interact with her at all until she stops by the shrine.
- Speak to her once stopped at the shrine to trigger a fairly long cutscene, about 1 minute. Plenty of time to buff here until Ireena/Tatiana and Sergei fade away.
Afterwards, Strahd will appear; he is much more easily damaged if dragged into the water and can only be forced here to leave. This can become problematic if Ezsmerelda, hirelings or summoned creatures have Strahd's aggro and distract him from moving into the water. When you lower his health enough he will leave and the quest will complete.
- When Strahd is in the pool, a Holy Water debuff will be applied to him.
