PostsAs you draw near to the end of the main campaign, you'll find a fairy in need of your assistance. It involves completing a dangerous ritual and surviving the waves of enemies that swarm you during the process. We'll help you do it all and come out on top to get your rewards!
Where To Find The Fairy
Once the merchant tells you about the strange lights in the swamp, you'll need to make your way there to find the source. Head north, well past the tavern and the forest, to reach the bog filled with toads and zombies.
There are several groups of little green lights littered throughout the swamp, but you can ignore those. Instead, keep an eye out for the ruined structures and stones. You'll find a little glowing fairy floating next to an altar.
The other ruins in the swamp have a recipe scroll resting on top!
How To Complete The Ritual
Speak to the fairy to learn about a centuries-old ritual that seals away evil. However, it's time to refresh the seal and you are the chosen one! The danger is high, but you can try as many times as needed to complete the ritual and claim your reward.
All you need to do is touch the altar to start. When you do, portals will open up and monsters will come pouring out. These monsters will target the runes around the altar, and you need to defend the runes from being destroyed.
If you die or if the runes are destroyed, you'll have to start all over from the first wave.
Wave One
The first wave is the easiest. Only one green portal will open, and three wolves will come charging out. Two will come out first, then the third will arrive as reinforcements after a short time.
You can fight them with everything at your disposal. The musket is the best weapon to use to deal damage while keeping your distance, but make sure you have enough ammo to stay alive. Keep a sword on your person just in case you need a backup weapon.
Once the wolves are defeated, the wave is over, and you can catch your breath before returning to the altar to start the next round.
If you need to heal, head back to the tavern to make some food or brew some potions! So long as you don't die along the way, you won't lose your progress in the gauntlet.
Wave Two
In the second wave, two portals will open. This time, hornets will swarm the area. The yellow ones will get up close and strike the runes while the purple ones will hang back.
The crossbow and musket are great options, but you can bait the hornets with the sword in a pinch.
Thankfully, the purple ones won't target you until you strike them, so focus on removing the regular hornets first. These attack faster and are more immediate threats. Once they're dispatched, cut down the remaining purple hornets.
Keep an eye on the runes! Whichever needs your attention more at the moment should be your focus, depending on how much damage the hornets deal before you reach them.
Wave Three
In the third wave, you'll have to fight off not just wolves and hornets, but spiders, too! Three portals will open and release enemies all at once. Ranged weapons are your best bet to draw attention away from the runes.
Bring regeneration potions to help offset any damage you take!
Make sure to loot everything at the end so you can focus on staying alive. You may miss a few monster parts, but there are always more monsters to find in the forest.
Once you've defeated all the enemies and completed the ritual, return to the fairy. You'll receive the chosen one's sword: a regular old sword–but it's yours now! That makes it special.
