impress the potential date to earn their trust. Eventually you will receive a

(B.2.5) The Cullis Gate {B25TCG}
..............................................................................
MAIN STORY
-
Find Hammer drinking at The Lucky Heather tavern in Rookridge. After the scene
Theresa tells you to take some time to recuperate before heading to the guild.
Travel a bit and she will call you. At the guild cave your team makes plans to
use Garth's cullis gate at Brightwood Tower. When you reach Garth and Hammer,
Garth decides to sneak around the back way. Follow him until you see that the
Spire Guards have the place surrounded. Defeat the lot of them and cross the
small stone bridge where you will meet another batch of Spire enemies. Repeat
this up and into the tower. When you reach the cullis gate, Garth will have to
charge it up while you guard him from waves of Spire attack. When the gate is
100% operational, and you get tired of killing Spire lieutenants, use the gate
and travel to Wraithmarsh.

(B.2.6) Stranded [becomes The Hero of Skill] {B26STD}
..............................................................................
MAIN STORY
-
Wraithmarsh:
You arrive in sad shape, and neither Garth nor Hammer got through the gate. On
the bright side, your faithful dog is with you. Once you are free to move
around, step inside the nearby house to take care of Gargoyle<41>. Then pass
under the sign that reads "Oakvale", cross some water and follow the path to
reach a house with Gargoyle<42> up on an outside wall. The path turns to the
southeast here. Follow the fork to the left and go into the house to find
(Silver Key<40>) on the second floor. When you enter the water you will face
your first banshee in combat. The banshee cannot be damaged until you slay her
shadow minions. Shoot her head to destroy her. Beyond the water the path forks
again. Follow the left-hand side uphill and across the wooden bridge. When you
come upon some broken ruined archways, look on the right-hand side to find
Gargoyle<43>, then climb the stone spiral steps and continue carving a path
through hollow men until you cross a large stone bridge and eventually fight
your first elder hollow man. Look to the left at the bottom of the steps here
in the semi-circle of small crypts to find (Silver Key<41>). As you walk away
from the circle of crypts downhill, turn around to find Gargoyle<44>. Continue
to make your way around to the northwest and you will face another banshee in
a watery area. Take the side path to the right through the fog and water to
find (Silver Key<42>). Return to the main path, pass the hut with the chest in
it and you will run into a swamp troll. Run around him at medium range,
dodging his projectiles and tunneling attacks, shooting his soft spots when
they show up. Continue on across the bridge, up the steps, and open the gate.
Defeat the hollow men and unlock the gate ahead, then enter the crypt passage
to Bloodstone.
-
Bloodstone:
Open the crypt door to your right to find an expression statue. Use the Pick
Up Line expression on it, then head up the path to find (Silver Key<47>) in a
sarcophagus in a small crypt on your right. Demon Door<09> is on your right as
you continue. You can't miss 15-Key Silver Chest<18> (Golden Touch Augment) at
the cliff-side overlooking the sea. When you reach the docks, dive into the
bay and swim to a tiny beach in the northwest to see Gargoyle<47>. Swim to the
southwest end of the docks to find a dive spot with (Silver Key<48>). On the
southern docks is a wooden loading crane with Gargoyle<48>. Head over to the
bard and then east on the uphill road a bit. Look to the south between the
buildings to see Gargoyle<49>. Follow the path east and look for a cellar door
next to the furniture shop. Enter the cellar and hit the strike switch on the
right and smash up the barrels to retrieve (Silver Key<49>). Now continue up
the eastern path and enter the mansion to meet Reaver. You will need 20,000
Renown to prove yourself worthy of his attention.

Complete as many side-quests as you like before returning to talk to Reaver.
I recommend completing all of B.2.7 through B.2.13.
NOTE: The Brightwood Tower quest will not disappear, which is why I am listing
it later in this walkthrough.
-
Once you have earned enough renown, Reaver will ask that you return (Reaver's
Dark Seal) to its rightful owners in Wraithmarsh. Fast travel to The Drowned
Farm and follow the trail to the entrance.
-
The Shadow Court:
Walk through the descending passages until you face some shadow hobbes. Keep
going down and use Time Control magic to run across the spike traps. Step on
the switch, then turn around and shoot Gargoyle<46>. In the next large room is
a breakable wall that leads to (Silver Key<46>). The exit gate is locked until
you defeat the waves of shadow creatures. After the gate opens, jump down the
hole. Continue to meet the crying girl and the shadow court. Choose to either
hold the seal and have your hero aged by the court, or give the seal to the
girl and let her be aged instead. Returning to Reaver will start the
Bloodstone Assault quest, so be sure that you finished all of the side-quests
that you are interested in first.

retrace your steps and enter the passage. Look to your left and smash the wood
to find a chest (1,500g). Drop down to the final chest (1,500g), then kill the

to trigger more hollow men - be careful not to attack their leader out on the
