After the cutscene, you will be fighting Drakan. You will be assisted by both Vanescula and Veliaf, but don't expect them to deal a lot of damage.

Alongside melee attacks, Drakan will frequently use spear lunges that are preceded by a visual cue. The timing of this is precise and so requires tick perfect movements to avoid damage.

For a detailed breakdown of the fight, see here.

You must continue dodging his attacks until you are finally able to damage him.

Two ancient feral vyres will spawn and attack with melee. When fighting multiple of them at once, one will swap places with the other and begin healing, whilst forcing you to attack the vyre that took its place. Simply switch targets to resume attacking the initial vyre.

Kill the additional two vyres that spawn, then proceed to the next area.

To fell the darkwood trees blocking your path, they must be chopped from two different sides; you may need to jump over the tree stumps multiple times from different sides in order to reach another side of a tree.

A bronze axe can be taken from the nearby stump.

Occasionally, ticks may crawl into your inventory and begin dealing 1 damage in fixed intervals; to remove them, simply find the tick in your inventory and click on it.

Waves of nylocas will spawn from two corners. They behave the same way as their Theatre equivalents, becoming immune to attacks if attacked with the wrong style (melee against white, ranged against green), and exploding if left alone long enough.

There are throwable spines on the ground, so there is no need to re-gear for range. You can also harvest the dead venator for more spines if required.

It is recommended to leave and return with fast hitting weapons, such as the toxic blowpipe and event rpg, if players are having trouble making it through this section.

After defeating all the nylocas enter the darkwood trees to the north.

Make your way downstairs, then talk to Veliaf and then Vanescula. Talk with Veliaf again.

Go back upstairs and talk to Sugadinti Vitur

Gear up. Take ~15 rancid slimy potions, ~5 foul chunky potions, and 1 rank frothy potion from the supplies table in the base. Combination foods can be helpful, but it can just be easier to spam rancid slimy potions since they do not deplete your stats significantly.

Go outside to the bridge to start the defence section.

You will need to defend the aranei from the incoming portals with the ballista. The portals will always be one-shot, but they will eventually begin to spawn faster than you can shoot them down.

The next defence section requires you to heal aranei and repair the pillars and windows.

You will fight off Drakan once again. This time, the aranei and Efaritay will help you, but expect to pull your weight.

Alongside the spear lunges from the first encounter, Lowerniel will begin using cleaves that land as a 2x3 AoE in front of and behind him. Efaritay will occasionally heal you and the aranei, and you can always grab more supplies from the supply table if you die.

Once Drakan is at 58% health, a cutscene will play.

Complete the dialogue at Burgh de Rott after the cutscene.

Teleport to Ver Sinhaza using Drakan's medallion.

Gear up for a wave based encounter against waves of nylocas, the Maiden of Sugadinti, and the Nylocas Vasilias. It is recommended to bring your strongest melee weapon, as well as fast weapons for each style for ease of completion.

The rooms are significantly easier than during A Night at the Theatre, so full gear swaps are not necessary, but can be helpful when fighting the Nylocas Vasilias.

Talk to Sugadinti just outside the notice board to begin the encounter.

Wave 1 - Nylocas (range, melee, and mage)

Wave 2 - The Maiden of Sugadinti

Wave 3 - Repeat of wave 1

Wave 4 - Nylocas Vasilias

Make your way to Burgh de Rott. Gear up for a melee-based fight with the hallowed flail.
