Frostflow Lighthouse: What Lies Beneath

Frostflow Lighthouse: What Lies Beneath*

Frostflow Lighthouse (Interior)

Inspect the corpse of Ramati, which has been savagely torn by claws. Near the fire is the body of a Chaurus. Ramati’s corpse contains her husband’s journal, which describes how the family came to own the lighthouse and the strange noises coming from the cellar. It also reveals a final, horrifying discovery.

In the northeast bedroom is Ramati’s Journal, which details her rambunctious children Sudi and Mani and noises in the basement. It also tells how Ramati’s husband made her promise to cremate him in the lighthouse torch when he died (this is important later).

In the north bedroom on a table is Sudi’s Journal, which mentions the scratchings in the cellar, and a copy of the key Sudi hid in Mother’s favorite keepsake.

Locate the Cellar Key in the burial urn above the fireplace, next to the collectible Torchbug in a Jar. (The Torchbug in a Jar is a unique item that can only be found here. It serves no purpose but makes for great house décor.)

  • Habd’s Journal
  • Ramati’s Journal
  • Sudi’s Journal
  • Mani’s Cellar Key
  • Torchbug in a Jar
  • Miscellaneous Objective: Find the source of the murders in Frostflow Lighthouse

Unlock the cellar door (Expert) using a lockpick or Mani’s Cellar Key.

Frostflow Abyss

Open the gate to discover the corpse of Sudi. There are two notes nearby, and the insight into Sudi’s last few days make grim reading.

  • Bloodstained Note
  • Scrawled Page
  • Habd’s Lighthouse Key

At the end of this waterlogged ice passage is a giant Chaurus Reaper; this is the source of the Frostflow Lighthouse murders.

After defeating it, you can use the Key to access the roof of the lighthouse. If you take Habd’s remains from the belly of the giant Chaurus and burn them in the lighthouse torch, you receive a special blessing.
