Dagon Shrine Walkthrough

1 Travel to Lake Arrius Caverns

Make your way to Lake Arrius Caverns. You can fast travel to Cheydinhal and head north from there.
▶ How to Fast Travel
2 Enter the Antechamber

Once you're inside Lake Arrius Caverns, talk to the Doorkeeper by the door and he will let you pass through. You then have two options for the rest of the quest: go undercover or fight your way through the shrine.

If you choose to go undercover, drop all your items before Harrow. He will allow you to proceed once you agree to his terms (though you can retrieve your items afterward). Follow Harrow into the Shrine Antechamber and then into the Dagon Shrine.

If you decide to fight, kill Harrow and take the Shrine of Dagon Key from his body. Use the key to unlock the door to the Shrine Antechamber just ahead.
3 Reach the Dagon Shrine

Regardless of how you entered the antechamber, head south and take the first door on the left to enter the Dagon Shrine. If you’re not with Harrow, use the key to unlock the door.
4 Grab the Mysterium Xarxes

If you’ve gone undercover, speak with Ruma Camoran at the dais. She will ask you to kill Jeelius, who's lying on the altar, using the Sacrificial Dagger on the podium.

Killing Jeelius makes escaping easier, as the Mythic Dawn won’t be after you. After completing the sacrifice, wait for the cultists to leave and then grab the Mysterium Xarxes from the podium.

If you want to save Jeelius, or if you’ve already chosen to fight your way in, interact with him on the altar to release him. This will alert the Mythic Dawn. Grab the Mysterium Xarxes from the podium and escape the shrine.
5 Escape the Shrine

Whether you saved Jeelius or not, you can't leave the same way you came in. Take the stairs and go through the door on the left to enter the Shrine Living Quarters.

Make your way south to the far end of the area to reach the other side of Lake Arrius Caverns. You may have to fight Mythic Dawn guards and acolytes along the way.
6 Open the Secret Door

Interact with the nearby handle to open a secret door on your right, reconnecting you to the caverns' entrance.
7 Leave the Caverns

If you went undercover, you can return to Harrow to recover the items you surrendered earlier. Otherwise, just exit the way you came in.
8 Return to Cloud Ruler Temple

Head back to Cloud Ruler Temple and report to Jauffre. Let him know that while you didn’t recover the Amulet of Kings, you did obtain the Mysterium Xarxes. He will then direct you to Martin.

Talk to Martin and give him the Mysterium Xarxes, immediately unlocking the next quest, Spies.
