Side Quest: Relics of Another Age

Did we miss anything in this section? Is there something we didn't discover? Let us know!


Background

The scholar, Maximilien, is seeking three relics from the Heroes' Crypt: the Skull of Norick, the Sword of Bolingar, and Merik's Staff. He has offered a reward for each relic that you find and bring to him.


Walkthrough

When you reach the entrance to the Heroes' Crypt (#1), you'll find Maximilien, a scholar with the Stonebridge Society of Antiquaries, hovering around. No matter what you say to him, he'll give you this quest, and then he'll patiently wait for you to return with the relics.

Find the Skull of Norick

You'll find the Skull of Norick (#6) inside a locked room. You'll need to pick up the Crypt Keeper's Key (#3) to unlock the door to the room (#5).

Find Merik's Staff

You'll find the Staff of Merik in the Hall of Heroes, in Merik's sarcophagus (#9).

Find Lord Bolingar's Sword

You'll find Lord Bolingar's Shattered Blade on a stand (#12) past Drakomir (#10).

Return the Relics to Maximilien

You'll find Maximilien waiting for you at the entrance to the crypt (#1). When you hand over the relics to him, you'll receive roughly 3000 coins in total (the exact amount is random) plus 863 xp.
