 [The Forgotten One]

Objectives

Break the Runecarver free.

• Break the Chain

Description

This ought to be enough to break the bonds that hold your newfound ally.

<Ve'nari pauses for a moment.>

Before you do so, I offer a word of warning.

No creature imprisoned in that place should be trusted. Tread carefully, mortal.

After all, it would be a shame to lose so valuable a business partner.

Rewards

•  [The Forgotten One]

Progress

It's good to remember something new again.

Completion

Freedom. Of a sort. Yes... this is good. You have my thanks.

What was it you wanted? Ah, power. Yes. Very well, then.

Notes

Back into Torghast, south to the oubliette, and speak with the Runecarver:

Did you a discover a way to free me?

 I've found a way, but we only have one shot at it. Let's get you free!

A cutscene plays as the Maw Walker channels the anima into the Runecarver's right shackle, freeing that hand before the item shatters.

Runecarver says: Yes... Yes! Bonds weakening...

Runecarver says: A taste... of freedom. A place to start.

Speak with Runecarver again:

Have you recovered any more of my memories?

The more you find, the more both of us shall benefit.

•  I'd like to craft a legendary item.
•  I'd like to upgrade my legendary item.
