Complete the Four Tests

Test Location
Test of Perception Upper floor
Test of Resolve
Test of Courage Lower floor
Test of Patience

To escape Henantier's Dreamworld, you need to complete four tests. The Test of Perception and Test of Patience are on the upper floor while the Test of Courage and Test of Resolve are on the lower floor.

Completing each test will have you teleported back to Henantier.

Test of Perception

Avoid the Pressure Plate

The Test of Perception requires you to navigate a path the contains traps, particularly pressure tiles and pressure plates that cause a rockslide to fall in front of you. The second path contains poison mist that you need to run through to avoid it.

The end of the path contains the Element of Perception. Activate it to complete the test.

Test of Resolve

Test of Resolve
The Test of Resolve requires you to kill two Minotaurs. Check the treasure chest on the left upon entering to find several armor and weapons. It is recommended to use the lightning staff to attack the Minotaurs from afar and to avoid getting hurt.

After killing the two Minotaurs, a staircase will emerge from the ground allowing you to reach the upper floor that contains the Element of Resolve.

Test of Courage

Test of Courage
The Test of Courage requires you to swim through an underwater tunnel to reach the end that contains the Element of Courage. Before diving, get the Weak Potion of the Sea from the treasure chest on the right side of the tunnel.

Wade in the water first before diving so you have time to swim towards the bottom of the tunnel that contains a chest with a Weak Potion of the Sea.

From there, swim further down until you reach a wooden door that leads to the Grotto of Courage. Inside the room is the Element of Courage that you need to activate to complete the test.

Test of Patience

Open the treasure chest and retrieve the Mysterious Scroll. The scroll contains instructions on how to walk on the steps without activating the traps. Look for the identical symbols on each square and follow that path to reach the Element of Patience.

Speak with Henantier

Speak with Henantier
After completing all tests, speak with Henantier to be transported back to the real world. He will speak with you again in the real world to reward you with 6 scrolls, completing the quest.

Through A Nightmare, Darkly Rewards

You will also receive 1 Fame point after completing the quest.
