- Recommended Level: 12
- Quest Giver: Photios
- Prerequisite: Complete The Wolf Hunt
- Unlocks: N/A
- Location: Sanctuary of Delphi in Grand Mount Parnassos, Phokis
- Reward: Asking for a reward will give medium drachmae, medium XP; not asking gives rare torso armor (Sapphire Linothorax)
- Story: Photios, an aging Kephallonian mercenary, is tired. While he was guarding a treasury, priests stole valuable sapphires. Luckily, his old friend found him just in time to lend a hand.
Talk to Photios near the Sanctuary of Delphi message board. He wants you to acquire sapphires from the Korykian Cave just west of the sanctuary. Kill the enemies inside the cave and loot the priest’s body. A note leads you to Desphina Fort in western Hill of the Sacred War. Use Ikaros to mark enemies, treasure, and the bloody sapphires quest item. The sapphires are located in the tower on the western side of the fort. It is possible to sneak in and out with minimal killing, or you can take some time to complete the location. Return to Photios to complete the quest.
