Detailed WalkthroughEdit
This quest culminates in a pivotal battle against the Ascendant Order and their leader, the Ascendant Magus.
Begin the quest by talking to Lady Arabelle Davaux at Mandrake Manor in Gonfalon Bay. She informs you of the Ascendant Order's impending attack on All Flags Islet and requests your assistance. Use the provided ship to sail to All Flags Islet. Upon arrival, you'll find the island under siege by Ascendant Order. Join forces with King Emeric, Queen Ayrenn, and Prince Irnskar to repel the attackers. Engage in battles across the castle grounds, ensuring the safety of the alliance leaders. Accompany Prince Irnskar to the battlements. Together, fend off multiple waves of Ascendant Order soldiers.
Notes Some players have reported issues with this objective not progressing after defeating all enemies. To mitigate this: Avoid using abilities that knock enemies off the battlements, as this may prevent proper quest progression. If the quest stalls, consider abandoning and restarting it after a short wait.
Proceed to the castle courtyard, where the Ascendant Magus awaits. A cutscene reveals his true identity. Engage in a challenging battle, utilizing crowd control and healing abilities as needed. After defeating the Magus, exit the castle.
Important: To avoid a known bug, Do not exit through the same door you entered. Instead, use the side door marked with a white door icon. Exiting through the correct door ensures the quest progresses appropriately.
Outside the castle, find Lady Arabelle and speak with her to conclude the quest. She commends your efforts and discusses the implications of the recent events.
NotesEdit
- This quest serves as the climax of the High Isle chapter's main storyline.
- Ensure you follow the specified steps to avoid known bugs that may hinder quest progression.
