Quest stages of A Dance with Death

1. Reclaim Engoliero do Espirs from Yseyr the Berathian.

The only way to draw Rivan out into the open is by speaking the Darcozzi oath before her old sword, Engoliero do Espirs. The sword is currently guarded by Yseyr the Berathian in the Hanging Selpuchers beneath the Sacred Stair in Neketaka.

2. Speak the Darcozzi Oath with Engoliero do Espirs at sea.

Lucia Rivan became a Death Guard because of her undying devotion to an oath she took to protect the Engoliero do Espirs. Aeldys discovered that speaking the dying oath of the Darccozi while wielding the sword activates an aura which acts as a beacon for Rivan.

I should take the weapon to the sea, and speak those words.

Speak the Darcozzi Oath with Engoliero do Espirs at sea.

3. Face Lucia Rivan.

I spoke the oath and the sword emitted an energy like a burning flame. Its power has drawn the Floating Hangman, and Rivan, to me. The time to face her has finally come.

4. Return to Dunnage with the Floating Hangman.

I have successfully acquired the Floating Hangman from Rivan. All that is left is to meet the Príncipi's leader in Dunnage to prepare the fleet for our journey to Ukaizo.

5. Speak with the Príncipi's leader in the Balefire Beacon of Dunnage.

If I'm to find a way to reach Ukaizo through my alliance with the Príncipi then I'm expected to meet its leader in Dunnage. It's time to take on Rivan's Floating Hangman, the Fonferrus.

6. Sail with the Príncipi into Ondra's Mortar.

The Príncipi fleet awaits my signal to set sail.

Once I am ready, the Príncipi are prepared to sail with me into the storms.

7. Endings

I successfully braved Ondra's Mortar with the help of the Príncipi fleet.
