Opening the Door of Fiallan

Sister Quests: Main Quest: Battle Preparations, Main Quest: Veni Vidi Vigo, Main Quest: Child of the Elder Blood, Main Quest: Skjall’s Grave

Locations: Kaer Trolde Harbor, Ancient Crypt

Characters: Philippa Eilhart

Objectives:

  • Meet Philippa in the elven ruins.
  • Explore the elven ruins with Philippa Eilhart.
  • Exterminate the monsters.
  • Nearest Signpost: Ancient Crypt.

Travel by boat along the jagged northern coast of Ard Skellig. There is but a single signpost—to an Ancient Crypt. Moor your boat, and join Philippa at the sealed entrance. She removes the illusion from the entrance, and you walk into the ruins, speaking about Philippa’s vision. After a winding tunnel is navigated, you hear a noise ahead as you move into a larger cavern, complete with an ancient cowled statue of great size. Four drowners and a siren are guarding this place. Slaughter them!

Head up the stairs by the statue, until there’s a gap over a pit you can’t cross. Philippa levitates some stones to make a passage, allowing you access southwards, upwards and deeper into the ruins.

The talk changes to inter-party animosity. Continue to follow Philippa, stepping in front of her to tackle an incoming golem at the pathway crossroads. Continue up more steps, behind Philippa.

You reach the door of Fiallan, a sentry of elven legend. To pass, a toll in the form of blood must be given. Tempting though spilling Philippa’s blood yourself might be, the sorceress cuts her palm herself, presses it against the door, and it opens. Once inside, Philippa engages you in conversation regarding Yennefer and the emperor. Answer her how you wish. Continue to follow Philippa until she reaches a cavern of mirrors. Laughing at your “ridicious bauble” (when your medallion doesn’t vibrate), she launches an orb of light into a huge crystal on the ceiling. Then curtly orders you to shift the mirrors.
