Fires in the Mine Walkthrough

Talk to the Aedryan Soldier

To start the quest, talk to the Aedryan Soldier standing by the cliff at Eagle's Reach. You will be tasked with investigating the Sulfur Mines.

Travel to the Mine Encampment

#	Step-by-step Walkthrough
1	From Eagle's Reach, head northeast to the Sulfur Mines Basecamp. When you arrive at the elevator leading to the encampment, you’ll find that it’s not operational.
2	To find another way up, head east from the nearby Adra Waystone and descend to the waterfalls. Follow the sloped path on your left and climb the ladder to reach higher ground.
3	Once above, move along the path until you're in Deadfall Highlands. Turn left, and you’ll see a bridge leading to the encampment.
4	Cross the bridge and speak with the mining officials, Seyon and Kada. They then ask you to clear out the spiders inside the mines.

Enter the Sulfur Mines

Head to the entrance of the Sulfur Mines and speak with the gate guard, Darle.

Make sure to stock up on heals/consumables before proceeding, as you'll be facing a lot of enemies inside. Once you're ready, enter the Sulfur Mines!

Destroy the Nests

#	Step-by-step Walkthrough
*	Inside, your objective is to destroy two spider nests. You can clear them in any order, but we recommend starting with the one on the right for better progression.
1	Follow the path on the right and this will lead you to a large cavern. Be prepared to fight enemies along the way.
2	Take the stairs on the left and continue forward until you reach the first spider nest. Defeat the Dreamthrall Queen Crystal Eater and its minions.
3	Once the area is clear, burn the spider eggs. You can do this by throwing a Magran's Fury, commanding Kai to use Firestarter, casting Fan of Flames, or using Fire-enchanted weapons.
4	Return to the stairs and enter the doorway on the left side. Continue forward and climb up to a walkway.
5	On your left, burn the wall of webs blocking your path ahead.
6	Turn right and jump across the broken railway tracks. Make sure to take a few steps back and sprint before jumping.
7	Crouch through the crawlspace ahead and drop down into the second spider nest. Defeat the Dreamthrall Queen Crystal Eater and the other enemies in the area.
8	Burn the spider eggs to complete the objective.

Return to the Mining Camp

#	Step-by-step Walkthrough
1	Vault up the ledge on the right to reach the elevator and power up the Essence Generator next to it. You can do this by throwing an Electric Lily Seed, commanding Giatta to use Spectral Jolt, casting Jolting Touch, or using Shock-enchanted weapons.
*	Near the elevator, you'll find a Sarcophagus. Be sure to loot it to obtain Magran's Force, a Unique Glove.
2	Take the elevator down to the stairs near the first spider nest and head back the way you came.

Confront Darle

As you near the exit, you'll encounter Darle, who reveals his plan to destroy the mines. You'll then need to decide whether to let him blow up the mines or stop him.

Should You Destroy the Mines?

Stop Darle

If you choose the [Attack] dialogue option, it will trigger a boss fight with Darle. He's a relatively manageable boss, so you can defeat him without much trouble. You can leave the mines safely afterward.

Destroy the Mines

If you choose the dialogue option, “I take your point. That's certainly a risk,” you can let him go ahead with his plan. Leave the area and the mines will be destroyed, locking you out from re-entering.

Debrief with the Mining Officials

Regardless of your decision, return to Seyon and Kada to update them on the situation.

If you stopped Darle, you will receive 900 Coins from the mining officials, in addition to the XP for completing the quest. You can choose to tell the truth or not, but the outcome will remain the same.

If you allowed the mines to blow up, the mining officials will be upset with each other, and you will only receive XP for completing the quest.

Fires in the Mine Rewards

900 Coins

If you stopped Darle from destroying the mines, Seyon and Kada will reward you with 900 Coins. Additionally, Darle will drop 432 Coins upon his defeat, making it the more rewarding choice for this quest.
