Unlock Requirements Speak to Hallam the White Quest Giver Hallam the White The House of BALLADS The House of Ballads is a place where Fae heroes come to train before performing feats that make them into legends. These feats are stories written in song, which are given to each hero. The main goal for the House of Ballads is to repeat the past for the good of the coming future. 05 MAP B Make your way to the starting point where you met Pledge Ficon, and the vine-covered door will now be open. Advance down this path, but just before you enter the room in which the Grave Thresh resides, there is a hidden door to the left. This secret door room contains a few Boggart Tumblers, some Reagents, Dive Points and a chest. 06 MAP B MAP B Gorguath 03 07 E D Quest Giver Location House of Ballads, Odarath Objectives A Go to Gorguath B Kill the Heartvines C Defeat the Grave Thresh D Retrieve Sir Sagrell’s Ring E Defeat the Threshes F Return the Hallam the White Mission 01 Song of Sir Sagrell 01 MAP A Odarath Move on to the Grave Thresh and begin the battle. Take out the Boggarts that are there first, and then take on the Grave Thresh. The Grave Thresh has a variety of very powerful projectile attacks that can be very difficult to avoid at range. It’s vital you stay close to the Grave Thresh, so you will be able to interrupt most of its attacks. Once the Grave Thresh is down, advance north. On the way there is a Gorguath Stone.

Grave Thresh 172 Boggart Tumbler 147 Boggart Plaguebearer 147 Pestilent Brownie 153 Additional Rewards Ballads Signet Ring 01 MAP A This Faction’s quest line begins with talking to Hallam the White at the House of Ballads. He will tell you that Sir Sagrell, the previous leader of the House of Ballads, has died. Then he instructs you to defeat a Thresh and recover Sagrell’s Ring to take his seat in the House of Ballads. Tell him that you wish to fill the seat, and thus your journey begins. 02 MAP A Make your way into Gorguath cave in Odarath. Keep advancing until you come to a group of Fae. One of them will approach you with an aggressive tone. Tell him you wish to help, and he will let you know about the Thresh and his tactics on how to kill it. Now there are two possible routes you can take, either of which is fine as you go around in a circle. Going west will net you some extra goodies, so it’s best to do that first. Continue on the western pathway and you will come into contact with a group of Boggart Tumblers and Boggart Plaguebearers that are easy pickings. With them out of the way, advance picking up any Reagents you see on the way. Pull on the first Heartvine you will come to and continue along the path. 03 MAP B 02 You will soon come into contact with more Boggart Plaguebearers. After killing them loot the chest in the area. To the left of this chest is a secret door, which leads to a Gorguath Stone. On the western side of the main area is a hidden lootable Pile of Rocks. Make your way back to the area with the secret door and continue advancing to the area with the second Heartvine. Pull it and proceed to the eastern path. Loot the body once you come into a vast open spaced room to retrieve some Faeblades, but more importantly, the Ballads Signet Ring. Pledge Ficon will talk to you. He seems confused and will state that somebody has changed the song of Sir Sagrell. Once the dialogue is over, you will enter battle once again. Two Threshes will spawn; they are weaker versions of the Grave Thresh and you should use the same tactics you did on that, while focusing on one of them at a time. Some Boggart Tumblers and Plaguebearers are also in the area and will get aggravated by your fight with the Threshes. Try to keep the Thresh you are engaging between you and the Boggarts, so they cannot interfere too much. After killing the Threshes you can finish off the Boggarts, and then explore the rest of the side rooms, which predominantly contain Reagents and two bodies that can be looted. Make your way out of Gorguath and return to the House of Ballads once you are ready to continue. tip To make this battle slightly easier, you may want to consider going into the two side rooms to dispatch the Boggarts before picking up the ring. That way you do not have to fight them at the same time as the two Threshes. 08 MAP C Odarath A F 05 08 House of Ballads Grounds MAP C Court of Enchantment 04 MAP B You will soon be greeted by some Pestilent Brownies. Again, these are easy pickings, so make quick work of them. This area has a hidden Pile of Rocks towards the northern corner, and a chest that can both be looted. Continue on the southern path to make your way to the third and final Heartvine. After pulling on the Heartvine, go to the next area, which contains a few more Pestilent Brownies. You will find Reagents and a chest here. Keep going south to be confronted by more Pestilent Brownies. It is possible to sneak attack one of them. The path forks off into two here: the eastern path containing a Gorguath Stone and a chest, while the western path continues towards the objective. Back in the House of Ballads, you can use the Ballads Signet Ring to gain entry into the Court of Enchantments, where you will find Hallam the White waiting for you. Impressed with your actions, he will grant you the Seat of Sir Sagrell and full membership into the Court of Enchantments. He will then tell you that the King has asked for you, as another incident has occurred. Choosing the “I’m ready now” option will begin the next quest. 1 422 423
<strong>Chapter</strong> 6 – Faction Quests – The House of Ballads 02 – Ballad of bloody bones Mission 02 Ballad of bloody bones and continue north to get to the fifth and final cell. This room has a group of Sprites and another Arcane Barghest. Loot the chest and open the final cell after taking care of the enemies. Unlock Requirements Complete “Song of Sir Sagrell” Quest Giver Hallam the White Quest Giver Location House of Ballads, Odarath Objectives A Meet King Wencen B Find Sir Farrara C Free the prisoners D Speak to Bloody Bones E Kill Bloody Bones F Resurrect Sir Farrara G Return to King Wencen Areas Traversed Ettinmere Ballads Oratory Uduath Key Locations House of Ballads Ballads Oratory Uduath Key Characters Hallam the White King Wencen Sir Farrara Bloody Bones 01 MAP B Hallam the White will send you on your way to the Ballads Oratory and give you a Resurrection Potion, which you will need to complete your quest. Make your way to the Ballads Oratory, which is located in the south of Ettinmere. You will need the Ballads Signet Ring to unlock the entrance, but you do not have to have it equipped. Talk to King Wencen; he will be impressed you have taken the Seat of Sagrell and ask you to aid Sir Farrara in the Ballad of Bloody Bones. [a 1] 02 MAP A Make your way to Uduath, which is the northernmost point in Ettinmere. In the cave, follow the path around to the left and make your way to the objective point. Sir Farrara will be confronted by a group of Sprites. Kill them and talk to him. He thinks the King is playing a joke sending a human. Ask him what you should do, and he will state that Bloody Bones has not followed his ballad and wishes to change it. Your objective now is to free the prisoners who are locked into cells. One of the cells is in the same room as you met Sir Farrara. Move on to the western path, where you will be greeted by a group of enemies. After killing them, open the cell and loot the two chests (one in the cell and the other to the left of the advancing pathway). In the next section there is another group of enemies, and depending on their configuration, you can often get a sneak attack on one of them, gaining an early advantage in the battle, if you approach them stealthily. Open the third cell and loot the hidden Pile of Rocks once you have taken care of the opponents. [a 2] Continue on the northern path until you come to another group of enemies; take them out in your preferred manner, then loot the chest and open the fourth cell. Take the eastern path C 03 03 MAP A Take the eastern exit and speak to Bloody Bones. He asks you to leave in return for knowledge. If you stay, he will threaten to kill you. There is a speech challenge you can get some bonus experience of. But regardless of which option you choose, you will have to kill Bloody Bones. Once the battle begins a group of Sprites will spawn. Take them out first then switch your focus to Bloody Bones. Bloody Bones is a Fae that uses magic; so try to stay close to him, which will limit his use of magic, because you can interrupt most of his spells. [a 3] If you are close enough while he is casting his magic, try getting in a few melee attacks. If you are far away from him, just block and advance towards him. After killing Bloody Bones, if Sir Farrara has died, resurrect him. He will congratulate you and tell you that you must return to King Wencen. Explore the room to find a chest and a Fae Cache. Take the southern pathway to get to a Jump Point and make your way out of Uduath. [a 4] 04 MAP C Return to the House of Ballads and talk to King Wencen to complete the quest. King Wencen will be in disbelief about what happened to Sagrell and Bones. He will tell you that you must travel to the Librarian. Choose “I’m ready” to start your next quest. 1 MAP B Ballads Oratory A 01 Ettinmere MAP C G Court of Enchantment 04 House of Ballads Key Items Ballads Signet Ring Resurrection Potion Quest Specific Enemies Name Page Ref.
