Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After completing 'The Gathering', you'll start at Hawk's Cry Cliff in Rosaria, tasked with finding Clive's uncle.
  2. 2
    Head to the village of Amber. A cutscene will show Black Knights questioning villagers.
  3. 3
    Speak to two villagers across from the merchant on the right to learn the Black Knights are searching for someone and offering rewards.
  4. 4
    Talk to the second man in the village to discover the Black Knights were attacked. The mayor will then instruct Clive to take the lead.
  5. 5
    Proceed through the mountains towards the next village. You can choose a path with fewer enemies, but it means missing a chest.
  6. 6
    For all loot, take the left path initially to find a chest surrounded by Bombs. This chest contains a Bull’s Horn Braid.
  7. 7
    Continue heading south. You'll encounter Black Knights. Further on, defeat Fallen Hunters to find another chest containing a Goblin Coin, 15x Bloody Hides, and 15x Spools of Steelsilk.
  8. 8
    As you exit the mountains, a group of Black Knights will await. Defeat them and proceed to the bridge.
  9. 9
    At the bridge, you'll find fresh blood and encounter another squadron of Black Knights. Defeat them to learn they left a message for the Fire Brands in the town of Auldhyl.
  10. 10
    Proceed to Auldhyl. A cutscene will depict a scene orchestrated by Clive’s mother and the Bearers.
  11. 11
    Exit the town from the other side and pass Bewit Bridge.
  12. 12
    An Obelisk will be ahead. On the beach house across from it, find a chest containing 10x Sharp Fangs.

    Continue forward until you reach the marker at Port Isolde. Here, you'll learn you need to find another way into town, initiating the quest 'Black Light Burns'.
