Vulgrim’s Side Quest

The demonic merchant, Vulgrim, offers Death more than just a unique selection of goods. The first time Death visits him, Vulgrim entreats the Rider to collect forty lost pages of the Book of the Dead for him...

Side Quest: “The Book of the Dead”

• Location: Various Areas
• Reward: Access to four treasure-filled Death Tombs
• Recommended Level: None

Search high and low for the lost pages of the Book of the Dead. Every ten pages you collect completes a chapter. Return each chapter to Vulgrim and he’ll give you special keys that open the Death Tombs found in each of the realms. Every tomb boasts its own spread of precious valuables. The following sections detail what you’ll find within each tomb.

Death Tomb I

• Location: The Nook
• Special Item: Blade Master Talisman

The first Death Tomb lies along the Nook’s exterior trail, which leads toward the Lost Temple. Fast-travel to the Lost Temple’s entrance and then travel south to find the tomb’s door. Inside, you’ll discover several treasure chests, weapon racks, and the Demonheart Talisman. There’s also a hidden chest in a nook behind an object that Death can drag.

Death Tomb II

• Location: Lair of the Deposed King
• Special Item: Demonheart Talisman

Enter the Lair of the Deposed King and descend its long, spiral staircase to discover the second Death Tomb at the bottom. Destroy all of the breakable objects within the tomb to open its secret side rooms and obtain additional plunder.

Death Tomb III

• Location: Lostlight
• Special Item: Hoardseeker Talisman

The third Death Tomb is found in the angelic realm of Lostlight. It lies along the main trail, about halfway between the Tree of Life and the Crystal Spire. Enter the tomb to find plenty of loot, including two Boatman Coins and a unique talisman. Smash the vases within the tomb to make secret Gilt appear. Drop a worthless item at a specific spot within the tomb and the item will vanish, causing a secret chest to appear.

Death Tomb IV

• Location: Shadow’s Edge
• Special Item: Spear of Storms

The fourth and final Death Tomb is located in the demonic realm of Shadow’s Edge. Its entrance stands just south of the Black Stone. A vast amount of loot is housed within, including a Relic of Khagoth, two Stones of Power (look up near the ceiling), and a unique secondary weapon, the Spear of Storms. Smash all of the breakable objects within the tomb to make a secret chest appear above the stairs.
