To Walk a Dark Path (Side Quest) Walkthrough
Begin the Quest by speaking to the Zakarum Priest Father Dymus in Zarbinzet, near the Waypoint. Ask him, Is everything alright Father?" He seems to be looking for a curate of his named Symon. This will activate the Quest and highlight your next objective location which will be a short distance east of your current location. The area will be indicated by a blue circle, leading to Faith's Edge, still in the Umir Plateau.
- Find the Decaying Farmstead
The farmstead should be in the southeast area of the circle. There, you'll be attacked by some Clifflurkers, Bloodletters, and a Blighthand.
- Search for evidence of Symon
The Enemies will drop a Lockbox Key. Pick it up and the next objective marker should show you the Lockbox that it opens nearby.
- Open the Forgotten Lockbox
The Lockbox should just be in the middle of the two tents nearby.
- Read Symon's journal page
Interact with the paper that it drops to read Symon's journal page. It seems Symon at least passed by Tibault's Grasp, along with his new stranger friend's crew.
- Travel to Tibault's Grasp
Tibault's Grasp will be to the far east in the Fethis Wetlands. Place an objective marker on your map for the fastest path there. Near the stone tablet, there will be some pilgrims kneeling down.
- Speak with the Frightened Pilgrim
Talk to the pilgrim and ask, "Have you seen a man named Symon?" All of the pilgrims seem panicked and incredibly scared.
- Subdue the Frightened Pilgrims
Should be an easy fight, beat the desperate pilgrims until they run away.
- Speak with the Frightened Pilgrim
They'll run a short distance to the west. Speak with the pilgrim in the middle and as, "Why did you attack me!?" It seems they've been having demonic nightmares for a long time now. They'll give more clues about Symon, at least.
- Question the pilgrims
Speak with them again and this time ask, "What else do you remember?" and then ask, "Can you remember anything else?" It seems Symon tried to recruit them into their little adventure group. Ask the last pilgrim, "What can you tell me about the two of them?" to reveal the name of the swordsman who whisked Symon away. This will complete the quest.
