Worship Ye Nearing Quietus

While inspecting the monumental statue to the great prophet Lebioda in the Sansretour Valley (along the western shores of this river), head into the silent temple itself, just west of the statue. The place is seemingly empty, but a quick crack of the weakened (and sealed) archway wall allows passage into a hidden vestibule.

Here, you awaken a tormented spirit; a specter of the Great Beggar, who immediately attacks. Treat him as you would a specter (in terms of coating your blade in specter oil), but watch his staff attacks. Step back so you aren’t staggered by his area-of-effect shockwave, and parry his staff strikes.

Using Quen to absorb these magical attacks, and following up with swordplay (or Aard), allows you to dismiss this strange specter.

Search the room. Aside from some Manticore Witcher gear on a small table in the raised area, there are also bones of the Great Beggar, and reading material in a nearby chest that revealed that this wandering hermit had foretold Lebioda’s coming, until his fate was sealed. Literally.

Gather the bones, and locate the empty sarcophagus to the side of the entrance chamber (the one with its lid slightly open), and inter the bones there, so the spirit of the great beggar may finally rest. The quest now concludes, but further revelations about the beggar can be found during the scavenger hunt.
