Talk to Artix
Speak to Artix near the Doomwood Watch Tent.
I did not expect to see any other heroes this far from Battleon. You must be a brave person. I could use someone with courage to help me.

Look for Clues
Hmmm. First we need to establish what has happened to the other paladins. I will search the tent while you look around the area. Once you are done, return here and we will share what we have found.
Yes. The letter fragments I found in the tent and signs of a battle that you have uncovered point to an attack. But from who, and why? We need more answers.
Items Required:
- Search The Beach near the Cave x1
- Stand on the glowing pad near the Shadow Wolf Alpha behind the tent
- Search The Giant Skull x1
- Climb the giant skull
- Search Near The Gate x1

Slay Skeletons to find more clues.
We need more information but if there was a struggle then the local monsters and undead are a good place to start. See if you can find anything on the skeletons here.
These are not just any armor scraps… they are paladin armor. Someone has armored these undead fiends in armor stolen from the paladin order! Well, at least they are wearing something. They look chilled to the bone.
Items Required:
- Armor Scrap x4
- Dropped by Skeleton
Rewards:
- 148 Gold
- 1,472 Exp
Requirements: Must have completed previous quest.
Slay Skeletons to find the villain's name
It looks like the necroknight who has animated these skeleton has branded the inside of their skulls with their mark. It is kind of like a signature. If you collect enough skull fragments, we can at least find out who we are up against. A name would be better than nothing.
I am able to reassemble these fragments, I think. It is like doing a jigsaw puzzle. See? This goes here? and this? Ah! Sargoth! I know that name. We face a dangerous foe.
Items Required:
- Skull Fragment x5
- Dropped by Skeleton
Rewards:
- 148 Gold
- 1,472 Exp
Requirements: Must have completed previous quest.
Slay Shadow Wolves
These Shadow Wolves are new to Doomwood. They must be creations of the Necroknight's dark magic. See what you can learn about them.
What? The bodies turn into shadows? That does not leave us much to learn from but we can still work with it. Anything we need from the shadow wolves will need to be taken from them quickly before the body fades.
Items Required:
- Shadow Wolf Slain x5
- Dropped by Shadow Wolf
Rewards:
- 148 Gold
- 1,472 Exp
Requirements: Must have completed previous quest.
Find what binds the Shadow Wolves
We still need to know more about the kind of magic that the Necroknight is using here. Something must be binding the shadow wolves to this realm. Search their bodies before they fade back into normal shadow and find what powers them.
Spirit Orb Fragments? But… that doesn?t make any sense. A pure spirit orb is the form that a pure soul takes after death. The Necroknight must have ripped these souls apart somehow and used the spirit orb fragments to bind his magic to shadow. I have never seen magic like this before.
Items Required:
- Spirit Orb Fragment x5
- Dropped by Shadow Wolf
Rewards:
- 148 Gold
- 1,472 Exp
Requirements: Must have completed previous quest.
Light Torches
I need some time to look for the watch commander's journal. While I am busy I need your help re-establishing the fort. First, will you please go light the torches around here? That might shed a little light on the situation.
Great work. Now I can see what I am tripping over. I had no luck finding the watch commander's journal but I DID find his footlocker under a pile of stuff. It is pretty tough. If I use force, I might destroy everything in the locker. We are going to need to unlock it.
Items Required:
- Torch Lit x5
- Click on the torches throughout the area
Rewards:
- 148 Gold
- 1,472 Exp
Requirements: Must have completed previous quest.
Find the Commander's Ring on Skeletons
I do not see a keyhole on the watch commander's footlocker but there is an impression here. It looks like a signet ring might unlock it. I will search around the camp. You search the undead. Maybe one of the skeletons has it on them.
AH HA! This looks like it fits! Hmmm. I do not see a journal but there are some other notes in here. I will check through them.
Items Required:
- Commander's Signet Ring x1
- Dropped by Skeleton
Rewards:
- 295 Gold
- 2,944 Exp
Requirements: Must have completed previous quest.
Search for the Journal
I do not believe this. It looks like the Watch Commander might have… done something awful. I have a hard time believing that one of my fellow Paladins could do something like this. I need more proof. We have GOT to find that journal. Please search around the area. Maybe it got knocked out of the tent during the fighting and dragged away by some of the wildlife.
You found the cover? All the pages have been torn out. From these claw marks it looks like the shadow wolves might have gotten to it first.
Items Required:
- Journal Cover x1
- Click on the mounds near the giant skeleton's left arm
Rewards:
- 148 Gold
- 1,472 Exp
Requirements: Must have completed previous quest.
Recover Journal Pages from Shadow Wolves
We need to find out what went on here. It looks like the shadow wolves ripped the journal up. That seems like a weird thing for wolves to do unless someone was hiding something. See if you can recover any of the journal pages from the shadow wolves.
This looks like all of them. Good job. Now we will find out the truth about the watch commander.
Items Required:
- Journal Page x10
- Dropped by Shadow Wolf
Rewards:
- 148 Gold
- 1,472 Exp
Requirements: Must have completed previous quest.
Gather Shadow Wisps from Shadow wolves.
The pages of the journal confirmed what I feared. The watch commander sold out the other paladins to save himself. But there is more that… I will not say more until I know the full truth. I need you to bring me wisps of shadow that make up the shadow wolves.
I just need to use the watch's equipment to check these.
Items Required:
- Shadow Wisps x8
- Dropped by Shadow Wolf
Rewards:
- 148 Gold
- 1,472 Exp
Requirements: Must have completed previous quest.
Slay Skeletons for Rib Bones
I must do one more test to know for sure. I need you to bring me rib bones from some of the skeletons. I'm sorry to ask you to do this for me but I need to prepare the tests here.
As I suspected… the skeletons and shadow wolves are both made from the remains of the paladins.
Items Required:
- Rib Bone x10
- Dropped by Skeleton
Rewards:
- 60 Gold
- 1,286 Exp
Requirements: Must have completed previous quest.
Slay Shadow Wolves to Free Souls
The Necroknight used the betrayed Paladins of the watch to make his creations. Their bodies were made into his skeleton army and he fed their souls to the Shadow Wolves. I cannot stand the idea of members of my order being used like this. Please, go free some of the Paladin souls from the Shadow Wolves.
Thank you. I am not happy about how this turned out but at least I know those paladins can rest now.
Items Required:
- Paladin Soul Freed x6
- Dropped by Shadow Wolf
Rewards:
- 60 Gold
- 1,517 Exp
Requirements: Must have completed previous quest.
Slay Shadow Wolves Alpha
A huge Shadow Wolf Alpha roams the forest. The Necroknight must have fed him more of the Paladin souls than all the rest put together. I can sense them now looking for a way out. I have to ask you to take on the Shadow Wolf Alpha yourself. I cannot waste any time in writing to the order and letting them know what has happened here.
The Alpha has been destroyed and the rest of the paladin souls are free. I only sense one other than my own. I wonder what that is about.
Items Required:
- Alpha Wolf Slain x1
- Dropped by Shadow Wolf Alpha
Rewards:
- 119 Gold
- 3,034 Exp
Requirements: Must have completed previous quest.
Collect Weapons from the Skeletons
I have sent a message to the Order and they will be sending more Paladins here to to hold the ground. This place will need to be in better shape before that happens. They will need weapons. I will begin cleaning up while you go slay skeletons and see if any of their weapons are still usable.
Bring the weapons to Artix.
Items Required:
- Serviceable Weapon x4
- Dropped by Skeleton
Rewards:
- 60 Gold
- 1,286 XP
Requirements: Must have completed previous quest.
Weapons Delivered
Bring the weapons retrieved from the undead back to Artix at the paladin camp.
Thanks! This is a good start. I hope they decide to bring a lot more.
Items Required:

Go check that the wall is secure.
There is a wall that separates Doomwood from the Bonecliffs ahead. I need you to go check walls to make sure they are secure. The Necroknight is building an army and they will be coming from that direction.
They are secure? Good. The undead may keep pouring out of the gate, but that is a bottleneck. That will make it possible for the new Paladins to funnel them and keep them in check.
Items Required:
- Walls Checked x1
- Stand on the glowing pad near Big Bones
Rewards:

Requirements: Must have completed previous quest.
Find the Field Book of Blessings from a Skeleton
The Necroknight is using a huge undead called Big Bones to block anyone from moving closer to his tower. We will need to defeat it. It has been powered up so we will need to enchant your weapon. We will need to find the Paladin?s Field Book of Blessings which has the right spell. The skeletons might be bringing it to him as a prize. Stop them, no matter what!
This is it! Great job! Now I just need to find the right page and… oh… the spell needs some components.
Items Required:
- Field Book of Blessings x1
- Dropped by Skeleton
Rewards:
- 60 Gold
- 1,286 Exp
Requirements: Must have completed previous quest.
Get Shadow Wolf Teeth
Before you can defeat Big Bones, we need to cast the right blessing upon your weapon. For that we will need some ingredients. The first one is teeth from a wild animal. The Shadow Wolves should have plenty of teeth. Just make sure to grab them before they turn to shadow with the rest of the beast.
Perfect. Those Shadow Wolves won't be biting anyone else for a long time.
Items Required:
- Shadow wolf tooth x6
- Dropped by Shadow Wolf
Rewards:
- 60 Gold
- 1,517 Exp
Requirements: Must have completed previous quest.
Gather Bone Dust
The other ingredient that we need for this recipe is bone dust. I have tried to brush as much as I could off my armor… there was a LOT… but I did not have enough. You will need to gather more from the skeletons.
That is it! We are ready. I can start preparing the blessing.
Items Required:
- Bone Dust x8
- Dropped by Skeleton
Rewards:
- 60 Gold
- 1,517 Exp
Requirements: Must have completed previous quest.
Slay undead and shadow wolves
It will take a little time to prepare the blessing so instead of sitting around maybe you should go slay a few more undead and shadow wolves. Every one that you take out helps the paladins that are on the way here.
The blessing is ready!
Items Required:
- Shadow Wolf Slain x8
- Dropped by Shadow Wolf
- Undead Slain x8

Defeat Big Bones
You have done a lot of good here, and if Big Bones sends word of it to Sargoth then we will see a huge wave of reinforcements. Go and stop him before that can happen! Man, I wish I could join you but someone has to stay here and stop the undead from pushing into Greenguard. Good luck…
You did it! I just got word that the paladins coming to provide support were held up by some roots in the Heartwood but they should be here soon. I will wait for them. Thanks again, friend. I could not have held the Doomwood Watch without you. Battle On!

Defeat the Necroknight
The necroknight is waiting at the top of the tower. I have heard a lot of rumors but I do not know how powerful he really is. I just know that he has to be stopped.
You have defeated the necroknight! So the rumor about changing forms is true?

Rewards:

Collect Necrotic Ooze
Each one of the Necroknight's forms contains a powerful undead element that I should purify. See if you can get an Ooze Core from it's Dark Slime Lord form!
This is it. It may be unpleasant and smell like death but it will provoke to be valuable.

Rewards:
- 29 Gold
- 1,700 XP
Requirements: Must have completed the 'The Tower's Keeper' quest.
Defeat the Dark Warfiend

Well done! Another undead element for me to purify.

Rewards:
- 29 Gold
- 1,700 XP
Requirements: Must have completed the 'The Tower's Keeper' quest.
Defeat the Undead Dragon
he Necroknight's most powerful form is certainly its undead dragon form. You need it to claim one of the talons from its claw. It will not be easy.
Hero, you have slain the Undead Dragon. I am speechless! And more than a little jealous. I will purify the talon right away.
Items Required:
- Undead Talon x1
- Dropped by Undead Dragon
Rewards:
- 29 Gold
- 1,700 XP
Requirements: Must have completed the 'The Tower's Keeper' quest.
Defeat Necroknight's Secret Form
I have heard rumors that the Necroknight can take a fourth secret form. It only assumes this form to face its greatest foes. If you can forces it to take this form, you will be a legend!
Well, that was unexpected. I wonder what it tastes like.

Rewards:

Requirements: Must have completed the 'The Tower's Keeper' quest.
Collect 20 Darkness Orbs
The Necroknight uses darkness orbs to power his undead army in the tower. If left in tact they will corrupt the tower even more. Bring me the orbs and I will purify them.
Perfect! I will purify these and they will counter the darkness pouring out of this place. Bring more as you collect them.
