Lifting The Shadow Curse

Quest Start Location: Act 2 – Last Light Inn

While Act 2 can begin as a wretched place, painful to navigate, the zone isn’t doomed for all eternity. You can actually lift the shadow curse from those lands by helping Halsin find the imprisoned caretaker of the area! That changes the whole experience.

Evil players won’t be able to do it if their actions “alienated” Halsin during the first Act, but if you still have him on your side, you’ll find Art Cullagh in the Last Light Inn. Listen to Art ramble in his sleep, then speak to Halsin.

Next, go to the House Of Healing and get the lute from Malus Thorm (by hook or by crook), then return and play it for Art. Next, head to the beach and defend Halsin while the rescue of Thaniel takes place.

Separately, and at any time, you can play ‘hide and go seek’ with Oliver. Head to the eastern reaches of the shadow-cursed lands to meet him, as he’ll be necessary for Thaniel’s recovery.
