Quest stages of The trial of the waters
1. Inform Constantin about En on míl frichtimen
Go to the governor's palace in New Sérène and tell Constantin what you found out. Catasach, who's taking care of your cousin, will also participate in this conversation. He trusts you and wants to help you, so he will give you the Seal of Catasach that will allow you to meet with Glendán, the leader of the council who can guide you further.
Note: This is not required, but you can use a sleeping potion a bit later, during the trial of water to avoid one of the fights. If you don't have one, you can buy it from the Merchant in New Sérène before you travel to Dorgred.
2. Meet with Glendán, the leader of the council
Travel to Dorgred and try to enter Glendan's Abode. The warrior at the entrance will stop you, but when you show him the seal that Catasach gave you, he'll let you enter.
You'll meet Glendán inside. He'll tell you that he can help you, but first you have to complete a trial.
3. Complete the trial of the waters
Go to Coucadarg, the cave where you'll have to complete the trial of the waters.
A sleeping potion can be used to skip combat in the first cave. Crouch, descent, sneak to the carcass and pour the potion.
To skip the combat with Vampiric Dosantats in the next cave, you need level 2 of Vigor. Go left and jump over the gap.
There are two ways to avoid fighting in the third cave:
- First, as long as you have level 3 of Vigor, you can climb the wall and go around.
- Another way is to solve the mystery of the source. You can start the puzzle by examining a stone water container standing in the middle of several stone pillars.
3.1. Solve the mystery of the source
Check all seven stones to find out which one corresponds to what and activate four of them in the following order:
Wind - Ice - Sun - Water
When you solve the puzzle then you can just approach the Nadaig and tame it without combat.
To complete the trial, examine the painting in the next cave.
4. Talk to Glendán about the trial
Go back to Glendán. He'll summarize the results of your trial and give you directions on what you should do next.
You can now return to the governor's palace in New Sérène and start another quest - On the high king's trail.
Warning: If you haven't done the Find Queen Bládnid quests for Siora yet, she will leave your team when you return to the palace.
After completing The trial of the waters you will get or will be able to get On the high king's trail and Searching for Constantin.
