Lauriel’s Lament

Location: On the southeast and west ends of the Direnni Acropolis
Quest-giver: Bailiff Erator

Description: There’s a curse on the Direnni Acropolis, and a ghost named Lauriel is said to be its source. If you can successfully exorcise her from the acropolis, you will find a new friend in Bailiff Erator.

Search the Acropolis Grounds

You’ll have to fight through a slew of Spiders and Skeletal enemies in order to reach the Keeper’s Manor in the center of the acropolis. It can be a hassle to navigate, so stick to the road and don’t try to make your own shortcuts if you want to avoid unnecessary deviations.

Explore the Catacombs

Head back down to the first floor and back out to the acropolis proper. Head straight, then go down the stairs to the lower levels of the acropolis. Head east from here and you’ll reach the entrance to the Direnni Catacombs.

Direnni Catacombs

Head down the stairs and examine the inscription on the tablet in the center of the room. Now approach the pillar and place the Golden Seal inside it, then speak with Lauriel.

Search for the Crimson Seal

After speaking with Lauriel, enter the Shattered Halls through the door behind her. Go to the bottom of the stairs, enter the room to the left, then head through the northern exit to the right.

From here, follow the path until you enter an open room with a high ceiling. In the center of the room is the Keeper’s Remains. Examine the remains to find the Crimson Seal.

Now backtrack to the first floor and place the seal in the pillar across from the first one. This unlocks the door to the west.

Find the Source of Lauriel’s Binding

Go downstairs and head through the door to Lauriel’s Crypt.

Looking at the map, this floor seems a bit harder to navigate than it actually is. If you move from bridge to bridge, you’ll have little trouble reaching the room’s other side.

Lady Adreana

After crossing your first bridge, you’ll see Lady Adreana on the north side of the floor. You can avoid her effortlessly if you’re not sporting for a fight. If you are looking for some trouble, Lady Adreana has plenty to offer. While she can create a great deal of chaos on the battlefield with her Witchlight mobs, she herself is flimsy.

Her main attack causes energy projectiles to fall from the sky, hitting the ground and temporarily leaving AoE hazards in their wake. If this wasn’t bad enough, they’ll also create Witchlights, Wisp-like enemies, upon impact.

She’ll also occasionally split herself into three and attack you at the same time. These clones will eventually disappear on their own, but you’d be better off destroying them as quickly as possible.

Whenever Lady Adreana doesn’t have a henchman on hand, attack her directly. It doesn’t take much to put her down, so try to squeeze in direct attacks whenever possible.

Speak with Lauriel

Once you reach the center of the floor, speak with Lauriel. Take the Keeper’s Flame behind Lauriel and either burn her corpse to free her, or light the brazier behind it to imprison her once more. The choice is yours.

After making your decision, leave the Direnni Catacombs and speak with Bailiff Erator to complete the quest. You’ll earn Tomb Keeper’s Breeches for surviving the catacombs and helping the bailiff.
