How to Complete Ancient Vows Quest

Find the Relics in The Bone Pits and Keth

Relics and Locations
Kabala Clan Relic Found in Keth	Sun Clan Relic Found in The Bone Pits

The Ancient Vows quest begins when you pick up either of the two relics: the Sun Clan Relic or the Kabala Clan Relic. Both are random drops from enemies in their respective areas. You'll find the Kabala Clan Relic in Keth and the Sun Clan Relic in The Bone Pits.

After obtaining one, your quest log will update with the objective: “Find a use for the Relic.” Although it doesn’t matter which relic you find first, it’s best to collect both before proceeding to the Valley of the Titans.

Place the Relics in the Valley of Titans Altar

Once both relics are collected, head to the Valley of the Titans and look for the altar beside the area’s Waypoint. Interact with the medallion-shaped altar to begin the ritual. Place the Kabala Clan Relic in the left socket and the Sun Clan Relic in the right socket.

Choose One of Two Permanent Buffs

Ancient Vows Rewards

After placing the relics, you’ll be prompted to choose between two permanent buffs. These buffs are not locked in—you can revisit the altar at any time to switch between the two.

The quest can also be repeated in Cruel difficulty for a second set of buff choices.

The Sun Clan Relic is a random drop from monsters in The Bone Pits. Keep an eye out for green-colored item text on the ground—this indicates a quest item has dropped.

Kabala Clan Relic in Keth

The Kabala Clan Relic drops from enemies in Keth. Like the Sun Clan Relic, this item appears in green text and drops at random from defeated monsters in the area.

Ancient Vows Bug Fix: Can’t Insert Relic

Hold Alt to Keep Medallion UI Open

If the medallion UI keeps closing and prevents you from inserting a relic, press and hold the Alt key. This highlights all interactable objects on the screen, including the medallion sockets. Pick up the relics from your inventory and drop them to the medallion UI while holding the Alt key to insert them.

Press Z or Enable Always Highlight for a Permanent Fix

For a longer-term solution, press the Z key to toggle item and object highlights. You can also enable Always Highlight in the Gameplay section of the Interface Settings tab. This will keep the medallion UI and other objects visible at all times.

Ancient Vows Quest Rewards

When both Relics have been placed, you can choose either one of two permanent buffs. Only one of these buffs can be active during your playthrough. You can go back anytime to switch between buffs as desired.
