Light and Darkness

Light and Darkness is a one-time, solo quest in Lineage 2 Scryde for characters of level 61+. It starts with Hierarch in Rune Territory.

The Hierarch is attempting to make it possible to perform his ritual on the Altar of Saints.

Light and Darkness walkthrough

One more exp quest done in the location Valley of Saints. Start level: 61. Start NPC: Hierarch (Hierarch). Requirement: the quest Sweet Whispers done. Not repeatable. Reward: exp and SP.

  1. Valley of Saints (teleport from Rune Township). Take the quest from Hierarch.

    In the location there are five caves in which five absolutely identical NPCs Hierarch live; they are simply duplicated, that is, you can take the quest from one and hand it in to quite another, there is no difference. Where these NPCs are is told in detail in the introductory quest of the location, Sweet Whispers. By the task of the NPC, who is clearly a supporter of the dark forces, we have to run round and desecrate four holy altars, Altar of Saints. The order of going round the altars is chosen at random in the quest, and it is not a fact that the altar that is first for you will not be fourth for another player, so I will give you the places of all the altars, and you will figure out where to run: just look at the map, where the mark stands. Some of these altars you have seen before, some you will see for the first time. All the altars are on the surface, there is no need to crawl into any caves; some of them are simply in places where players do not really run.

  2. The first altar is at the entrance to the location: from the teleport point you run straight between the two NPCs and on straight ahead. The second altar you have seen quite often: it is where we spoil the recipes for the Dark Crystal robe; I usually seat my buffers at this altar, there are no mobs there. The third altar we have all seen more than once too: it is the place where we knock out the recipe for the Tallum gloves. That is, from the second altar, keeping to the right wall, you have to climb up the path, go across the glade there and cross the little bridge on which I always keep my buffers, and on through the mobs to the next glade, where I actually farm the recipes. And the last altar you have hardly ever stumbled on, as it is hidden at the very end of the location. From the third altar we run on through the mobs until we come to the little bridge that leads to the raid boss Flame of Splendor Barakiel, needed for the noblesse quest. We cross the bridge but do not go to Barakiel; we turn right and again run through the mobs until we come up against a wall. Down in a cleft the altar is hidden.

  3. Return to Hierarch to complete the quest.

    Having desecrated all the altars (ugh, how rude it sounds), we return to the nearest NPC Hierarch and get 105k exp as a reward. In the later chronicles SP was added too, but on Interlude only exp. The NPC says that he now trusts you almost completely, and the chance opens to take the quest The Coming Darkness from the same NPC.

Hierarch7 pages

You have been with us for quite some time! You've earned our trust, and therefore I believe you are ready for an important mission! Are you up to the task?

  • "What do you need done?"

Before I tell you, I need to ask you something. How strong is your faith in the work that we do? Are you certain that you can persevere no matter what happens while carrying out this mission?

  • "I will persevere."

We've spent much time together, dear brother, but I regret to tell you that you're not yet ready! Try again when your faith and conviction are more firmly established.

(Only characters of level 61 and above may undertake this quest.)

Very well, then. Listen carefully! Go to the Altar of Saints, sprinkle this Blood of Saint on it and then come back. You may think that this sounds simple... But I warn you... Unless your faith in us is very strong, you won't complete this mission!

So go sprinkle the blood on the Altar of Saints! You can see it from the path by the entrance to the Valley of Saints. Don't get lost on your way there! May Triol watch over you...

You haven't finished your mission. Come back when you're done.

Where is the Blood of Saint I gave you? How could you betray our trust like that?!

You are no longer our brother! Get out! We cast you out in the name of Triol! May your remaining days be full of terrible pain and suffering...

Well done! Our trust in you has proven well placed thus far. Someday, perhaps, you will truly be one of us. Congratulations!

The first Altar of Saints has a desolate atmosphere. You know that you need to sprinkle the Blood of Saint here, but you feel apprehensive. You begin to feel faint...

  • Sprinkle the Blood of Saint.

The Blood of Saint you sprinkled on the Altar of Saints quickly disappeared. You're starting to feel better now. It's time to move on!

Behold, the Altar of Saints! As instructed, you put your hand your pocket to prepare to sprinkle the blood, and... The Blood of Saint is gone! Did you lose it on your way here? This is terrible!

An Altar of Saints that has lost its power. All traces of purity have disappeared. Hurry along, much remains to be done.

The second Altar of Saints. The atmosphere is similar to that of the previous altar. You know that you should sprinkle the Blood of Saint here as you were told, but you're hesitant... You begin to feel faint...

  • Sprinkle the Blood of Saint.

The Altar of Saints reacts to the Blood of Saint. You're starting to feel better. The altar appears depleted. It's time to move on.

Behold, the Altar of Saints! As instructed, you put your hand in your pocket to prepare to sprinkle the blood, and... The Blood of Saint is gone! Did you lose it on your way here? This is terrible!

Behold, the Altar of Saints! As instructed, you put your hand in your pocket to prepare to sprinkle the blood, and... The Blood of Saint is gone! Perhaps you lost it on your way here. What shall you do?!

The altar is depleted of its power. Its former atmosphere of purity has dissipated. Only two more altars to go.

At last, the third Altar of Saints! No less forbidding than the first two!

  • Sprinkle the Blood of Saint.

The Altar of Saints reacts. It seems the Blood of Saint has relieved the altar of its purity. One more altar to go.

The last Altar of Saints looks the same as the others. You're starting to feel more comfortable. That could be good or bad!

  • Sprinkle the Blood of Saint.

The Altar of Saints is behaving strangely. This is getting tiresome. It seems that I'm changed a lot. Time to go back and see the elder.

Behold, the Altar of Saints! As instructed, you put your hand in your pocket to prepare to sprinkle the blood, and... The Blood of Saint is gone! Perhaps you lost it on your way here. What shall you do?!
