| 1 | Meet Sebastian at the Catacomb. |
| 2 |  Enter the catacomb. Enter the Feldcroft Catacomb. |
| 3 | Find the relic. Fight the spiders at the entrance then destroy the web blocking the path with Incendio. |
| 3a |  In the next room, defeat the spiders then head down the hallway to the east and drop down to the center altar. |
| 3b |  Collect the Student Journal Entry document beside the altar. |
| 4 | Speak with Sebastian about the note. |
| 5 |  Find a way through the barricade. In the east, there's a skeleton barricade. Bring 3 piles of bones to this door via Accio and Wingardium Leviosa. You can find these bones scattered around the altar room. |
| 6 | Find the relic. Head through the opened up barricade and to the next room. A dialogue scene with Sebastian will trigger in the next room. |
| 6a |  You'll be given the option to learn the Unforgivable Curse spell Imperio. If you choose to learn it, you'll have to perform the learn spell mechanic. |
| 6b |  After talking to Sebastian, defeat the spiders that attack you. Open the doort to the south with Accio, then you'll find another skeleton barricade. Same drill: bring 3 piles of bones from the room to the barricade using Accio and Wingardium Leviosa. |
| 7 | Defeat the spiders. Past the barricade is another room with spiders, defeat them. |
| 8 |  Find the relic. Clear the giant cobweb to the east with Confringo or Incendio, then pick up the Relic's Note and Lost Relic Illustration at the altar. |
| 9 |  Speak with Sebastian about the relic. ▶︎ Should Sebastian Take the Relic? |
| 10 | Leave the catacombs. Head back to where you came from and you'll encounter Ominis. |
| 11 |  Wait for Sebastian and Ominis to finish talking. |
| 12 | Persuade Ominis. You'll be given a choice to side with either Ominis or Sebastian. All dialogue options result in you leaving the catacomb, but siding with Sebastian will make you cast Imperio on Ominis. ▶︎ Should You Side With Ominis or Sebastian? |
| 13 | Leave the catacombs. Head back to the entrance. Unfortunately, you will have to retrace your steps and walk all the way back. |
| 14 |  Return to Feldcroft. Run back to the marker at Feldcroft. |
| 15 | Defend Feldcroft from Ranrok's Loyalists. Defeat all the Loyalists in the area. |
| 16 |  Talk to Solomon Sallow. Follow the marker to Solomon and speak with him to complete the quest. |
To get through the barricade, lift skeletons using Accio and Wingardium Leviosa and bring them in front of the barricade. Do this with three skeletons to open the way.
1 skeleton can be found on the altar, another west of the altar inside a coffin behind an Accio handle, and the final skeleton inside the room to the south.
During the quest, Sebastian will offer to teach you the Unforgivable Curse spell Imperio. You can accept and decline via dialogue option.
If you want to learn Imperio, you'll have to select the dialogue option Yes, I'd like to learn the Imperius Curse.
How to Get All Unforgivable Curses
Later in the quest, you'll be confronted by Ominis in the Catacomb. If you side with Sebastian at that moment, you'll be given another opportunity to learn Imperio (which will be used on Ominis).
Should You Side with Sebastian or Ominis?
The catacomb has a few branching paths that'll lead you to smaller rooms where you can pick up gear and Gold. Make sure to check out all of these branching paths, since they don't take you far off the main path anyway.

| How to Open the Barred Door | |
|---|---|
| 1 | The barred door can only be opened from the inside. To get to the other side, head through the north path of the main chamber. Destroy the rocks blocking the way with Confringo. |
| 2 | Crawl through the space until you reach the skeleton bridge. Use Accio on the handles on the walls to uncover bones. |
| 3 | Use Wingardium Leviosa on the bones and bring them to the ends of the bridge in order to build the bridge. You need 2 piles of bones. |
| 3a | If you fall into the pit, avoid damage by using Lumos. |
| 4 | Head through the path and loot the room at the end. You can find less than 10 Gold and a couple random gear in the room behind the barred door. |
| 5 | Use Accio on the handle to the left in order to open the barred door and easily get back into the main chamber. |
I bugged out the skeletons where you have to build a bridge to reveal a secret treasure and tried to leave the catacom after finishing the quest and come back in. But unfortunately I cant go back in to get that secret chest. Is there any way to get that ever again? Im so frustrated now and of course it autosaved when i left the catacomb...

Same for me. I was able to jump up from the furthest right side (towards treasure room) and kinda walked on the tendrils/jumped on some stones. Was tricky but do-oable.
