Walkthrough[]
Upon finishing "Lifting the Veil," Palomir will tell you that in order to become a true member of the Veiled Heritance, you must pass three tests; of intelligence, endurance and strength. He will tell you to speak with Ohmonir for your first trial, the trial of intelligence.
Ohmonir will be a bit to your east. Speak with him and he will present you with one of the following riddles:
- "I say much, but you cannot hear me. I open, but you cannot walk through me. I have a spine, but no bones. I shouldn't be judged by my face. What am I?" (Book)
- "Two bodies have I, two joined into one. The more I stand still the faster I run. I flip on my head, some watch me with dread. What am I?" (An Hourglass)
- "I'm always smiling, but I never laugh. I once loved life, from cat to calf. I'm always staring, but I cannot see. I once held secrets, those given to me. What am I?" (A Skull)
- "Friend to soldiers, guardsmen, and mercs. Scarred from battle, unbowed by hurt. I always face forward when battle is joined. when on the march, I watch from behind. What am I?" (A shield)
- "My life is measured in hours, I serve by being devoured. Thin, I am quick. Fat, I am slow. What am I?" (A Candle)
- "When young, I'm sweet in the sun. When middle-aged, I'm the life of the party. When old, I'm worth my weight in gold. When I'm gone, everyone laments my absence. What am I?" (Wine)
- "I attend every battle. I attend every duel. My tooth is sharp, My swing is cruel. What am I?" (Sword)
After correctly answering the first riddle, he will ask you another one. Once the second riddle has been correctly answered, Ohmonir will direct you north to Varustante for your trial of endurance.
Varustante's trial will be a race around the island. Once you agree to start the race, magical pillars will appear around the island. Follow the markers and keep a steady pace, but beware of the imps around the island. Once the race is done, speak with Varustante again to complete this part of your trials.
For the trial of strength, head east and speak with Alandare. The test here is to defeat the other initiates in battle. Head up into the ring and face the other initiates; they should not put up too much of a struggle. Once they are dead, head back to Alandare and talk to her to complete the quest and start the next one, "The Veil Falls."
