The Face Behind the Mask Walkthrough
1. Return
| 1.1 | Speak with Marius |
|---|---|
| Head back to the Greymane Camp and talk to Marius. You will be able to meet Duane during your conversation with Marius. |
2. Traces in the Manor
| 2.1 | Go to Glenbright Manor |
|---|---|
 Go to Glenbright Manor in Grace Estate to find the place under attack. Fend yourself against the ambushers once you enter the manor. |
|
| 2.2 | Investigate Glenbright Manor |
 Investigate the manor and look for any survivors. Go to the second level to find a wounded servant by the window of the study. You may also get the Iron Door Key of the Grace Manor in the same room. |
3. Nonhuman
| 3.1 | Track the Devil of the Reed Field |
|---|---|
 The Tracking mechanic will be unlocked at this point of the story. To use it, point your Lantern to the open window or use the Blinding Sword to see the trail of the Devil of the Reed Field, chasing after survivors. |
|
| 3.2 | Follow the Trail to Reedfield Graves |
 Keep tracking their trail using the Lantern or Blinding Sword. You will be ambushed once you pass through the houses in the farm, so be prepared for combat. You can avoid them entirely if you don't pass through those houses and go straight to the Reedfield Graves. You will be able to see the survivors and the Devil of the Reed Field once you get there. |
4. Seed of Unease
| 4.1 | Use the Lantern to Show Tracks |
|---|---|
 From the house in the previous quest, Nonhuman, you must now track the Reed Devil with the Lantern instead of an objective marker. Head outside and shine the lantern to see the yellow line that leads you west of the house, and continue following it. |
|
| 4.2 | |
 Follow the tracks to reach the Steel Mountains area. You will be ambushed by the Reed Devil and his minions, and you must deal enough damage to the boss for him to disappear. Once he disappears, use your lantern to follow the path again to his next location. You will be tracking and fighting him multiple times, so make sure you have enough food and heals. It's best to fight the enemies you will encounter here as they give tons of Abyss Artifact XP, but you can skip them if you want, as they can be daunting. |
|
| 4.3 | |
| Continue tracking the Reed Devil with the lantern, and you will fight him again shortly after, in the Mountain of Frozen Souls area. He will also have larger and more elite enemies with him this time. | |
| 4.4 | |
 After he retreats from the second ambush, continue climbing up the mountain trail going south. There will be more minions you can defeat or run past along the linear path, and one more Reed Devil ambush. Once you make it to the large open reed field, the final showdown with the boss will be next. |
|
| 4.5 | Head to the Altar by the Tree |
 Follow the faint trail towards the tree in the field with an altar. |
|
| 4.6 | Examine the Altar and Doll |
 Examine the doll in the center of the altar, finishing the quest and leading to the real boss fight against the Reed Devil. |
5. Dance with the Devil
| 5.1 | Defeat the Devil of the Reed Field |
|---|---|
Defeat Reed Devil in a two-phase boss fight. Most of his attacks during your first encounters are the same, but there will be additions, like range attacks and he will keep his distance most of the time. You can focus on parrying his quick slashes and then land a counter to damage him. Rinse and repeat until you get to the second phase. ▶ How to Beat Reed Devil |
|
| * | Destroy All Totems in the Second Phase |
 Reed Devil is invincible in the second phase and will summon clones to fight you. Destroy the 5 Totems in the area to remove his invincibility and clones. After that, it will be the same as the first phase. Follow the same strategy until you beat him! |
|
| * | Learn the Swift Stab |
 You may learn the Swift Stab skill from Reed Devil during the boss fight. You can use it against him once you learn it! ▶ Next Quest: Pioneering |
