Borders of Niflheim

Unlocked By[ | ]

Starts with Shayla

It seems like Shayla knows something. Go to the Forge.

Shayla
Welcome. I called you because I need a favor. (She can't seem to meet your eyes.) Do you ever wonder where we go when we die? The Pontiff's Court and the Oracles have their ideas, but how can they know? And what happens to the Fomors? Have you ever thought about that?

Select 'I have.'

Shayla
(She smiles.) I figured you'd be a sucker for ghost stories. I've been reading this book about a place called Niflheim. It's supposed to be a forbidden land of darkness, where the ghosts of dead Fomors wander for eternity. Now, I don't know if all the hocus-pocus is true, but the place is real enough. And what's more, there's a gem there that's supposed to be more powerful than anything you've ever seen. A forbidden hellscape and a jewel worth a fortune? Tell me you aren't interested.

You received information on Battle: Queen of the Cursed.

Shayla
Bring me back a gem as proof. You know how it goes... We need proof if we're going to make this into a fortune. Just be careful while you're there. If these books are right, the Goddess has no power there. That means if you die, you stay dead. There's no coming back for a second try. But the strangest thing is the riddle... It says, "If you seek the heart of hell, you must find a way to open its chest." Crazy, huh? Shouldn't be too much of a problem for you though. Last time I checked, you were an expert on crazy!

Take the loot that from the Queen of the Cursed battle to Shayla.

Shayla
You made it? The queen? Interesting. Was she pretty? I guess that doesn't matter much to monsters, does it? What about the treasure? (You show her the key fragment.) That's it? It looks so ordinary. What a disappointment. I guess you can't expect too much from a place the Fomors call hell. You might as well take that scrap over to the General Store. Maybe it'll at least open one of those gem boxes.

Take the Succubus Bracelet Gem Key Fragment to Aislinn in the General Store and find out what it is.

Aislinn
Welcome! What can I help you with? (You pull the key fragments from your pocket and they suddenly merge together to become a full key.) Why, this looks like it might be perfect for one of the bracelet gem boxes I have in stock. I must say, I've never met anyone who was looking for the right box to use their key on. (She pulls a small ornate box from behind the counter.) Here, why not give that a try? It's on the house.

Reward: 1x Ordinary Gem Box

Open the Ordinary Gem Box and take the gem to Shayla.

Shayla
Welcome back again. What kind of a gem is that? It's mesmerizing... You know, that would look wonderful in a bracelet. Why are you showing this to me?


Evidence

Shayla
(She lets out a hearty laugh.) This is what you got from the key?! It makes so much sense now. The riddle was referring to the gem box! You're quite the adventurer, my friend. Thank you for helping me solve the mystery of Niflheim. May our next adventures be even more profitable!
