Try killing the Champion first and then focus on the Crudoks. After having taken care of them, loot the Champion’s body and equip the House of Ballads armor you acquire, so that you can advance through the nearby Wall of Thorns. realizing that he died. Tell him you need to kill him and prepare for a battle. Sir Elswin is a mage that uses all the basic mage attacks, so this fight shouldn’t be too problematic, because of the narrow gorge you are in. Just stay up close and don’t give him an opening; he will drop in no time. That done, make your way back up to the Weeping Gorge and cross it. [a 3] Unlock Requirements Complete “What Lies Beneath” Quest Giver Hallam the White Quest Giver Location House of Ballads, Odarath Objectives A Enter Windemere B Locate House of Ballads Armor C Choose your opponent D Defeat your opponent E Loot and Equip Ballads Armor F Pass the Wall of Thorns G Cross the Gorge H Find Sir Elswin’s Corpse I Resurrect Sir Elswin J Defeat Sir Elswin K Cross the Weeping Gorge L Defeat the New Champion M Find King Wencen 1 03 MAP A Once through the Wall of Thorns you can unequip the House of Ballads armor if you wish, since it is no longer required, and the objective will be updated to Cross the Gorge. Head towards the objective marker, but before you get too far a Troll will emerge. You can either fight it or run away and continue with the objective. It has the basic move set of other Trolls so it won’t be too hard a fight if you choose to engage it. At top of the Gorge the Maid will appear. She will tell you that the Weeping Gorge is the second challenge, and that to raise the bridge you must kill Sir Elswin, who is already dead. Good thing you have a Resurrection Potion. 04 MAP A Return down the slope, step into the river and follow it along until you come to the body of Sir Elswin. Use the potion on him to bring him back to life. Once he is resurrected, talk to him. He will be confused about you not being the same opponent he was fighting, before 05 MAP A After crossing the Gorge, you will find whichever of the potential Champions you did not kill outside of the Wall of Thorns (either Airmer or Creth), who will tell you that he believes he is the true Champion. Regardless of the speech option you choose, it will result in battle. This time you will be battling the Champion and a Thresh. The Thresh makes an annoying opponent with its use of long-range magical attacks. If you have Abilities/weapons of a fire type use it on the Thresh. Take the Thresh out first by creating space between the Thresh and the Champion. You will then be able to hit the Thresh for free damage after it has rooted itself to the ground and sent out four shockwaves of its roots without fear of the Champion attacking you. Once the Thresh is down, take care of the Champion who only uses a melee assault. Stay up close to the Champion, block his attacks, and then punish accordingly. After he is dead, advance into Summer’s End to complete this quest.

He will give you a Resurrection Potion and tell you that the rest is up to you. Make your way to Windemere by foot, which is northeast of the House of Ballads. Once you enter, the Maid will greet you. She will tell you that it is her realm and people who set foot in Windemere must face her challenges, the first challenge being the Wall of Thorns. Her only hint is that you need specific armor. Continue on the pathway taking out enemies as you go until you eventually come to Sir Airmer in the north. [a 1] F 02 03 G 05 Additional Rewards None 02 MAP A From Sir Airmer you learn that there can only be one Champion and it will be him. Tell him you need his armor. He will think you are joking and say that you can help choose between the two who would make the best Champion. Continue the conversation and you will be able to choose either of the two characters to duel for their armor. Once you have chosen whom you will fight, two Crudoks will spawn. This will be an annoying fight: the two Crudoks have a lot of health and a bothersome move set so now is a good time to make use of Reckoning Mode if you have it available. [a 2] B C D E 04 It does not matter whether you choose to fight Airmer or Creth: your reward will be the same. Both opponents have a similar move set consisting of melee attacks; the only difference is one uses a Lance and the other uses a Sword. Have your Shield up at all times, since the Crudoks tend to be very aggressive and have some powerful attacks. You can try to lead the Champion you are fighting into the log you entered in for some quick damage, 01 A 01 Odarath 430 431
