Walkthrough
Primary
Follow the path to the town and defeat the undead in the town. You will earn a 2% morale bonus for each villager saved. After defeating the undead in the village, make your way to the Temple of Tolerance (Point A on the map). At the temple, defend Confessor Dorian from the undead hordes. The undead will attack from each side of the temple, one group at a time. After defending Confessor Dorian, go and talk to Dinas to complete the mission (Point B on the map).
Note: Confessor Dorian usually sends you to Dinas before all the undead have attacked. All remaining undead in the vicinity of the temple should be dealt with before finding Dinas. Otherwise, they may kill Confessor Dorian before you can complete the mission, which will cause you to fail the mission..
Bonus
- In order to receive the bonus, you must save Benji Makala in the village of Hakewood. There are two ways how to do this. Both techniques can be done by characters of the level they would naturally be upon getting to this mission. For both techniques it is advisable to have one party member, preferably a secondary monk, keep an eye on Benji until all undead are destroyed.
- As you enter the town, do not follow the path straight ahead to Benji. Take the first left and start with that section of the town till the packs of undead starting from there, and work your way up to Benji (point 1 on the map). Benji will be under attack, but against certain boss spawns, he should be locked in a stalemate and will continue to heal himself. Sometimes a boss will spawn who will kill him quickly, and sometimes he will have additional attackers on him. If you are not lucky with your spawn, and Benji dies, you'll have to restart the mission.
- Rush straight ahead to Benji. Fairly simple healing should keep him alive, but you will be swarmed by more undead at once as you will be fighting multiple groups from inside the town instead of starting with smaller groups along the edges.
- After saving Benji, talk to him to receive the bonus mission. Exit from the northern gate; not the west gate which is closer to the fountain. Gate Guard Makala will thank you for saving his brother and let you through the gate (point 2 on the map). All undead in and adjacent to Hakewood must be destroyed, and the bonus taken from Benji for Makala to open the gate for you.
- Follow the path and you will get to a gate with a lever. Before opening that gate, head up the path a little more and you will find the urn (point 3 on the map). If you drop the urn it will break, but you can go back and pick up another one.
- After picking up the urn, go through the gate and back onto the main path. At this point, defend Confessor Dorian as normal. After you finish defending him, instead of going directly to Dinas, take a side path to the north-west. You will see some Gypsie Ettins. Kill these and the Ancient Oakhearts on the way to the urn's resting place. Place the urn on its resting place by clicking on the pedestal and you will have completed the bonus (point 4 on the map). Note that you do not need to kill the enemies to complete the bonus; you just need to place the urn on the resting place.
Hard Mode
Protecting Confessor Dorian from the undead is a challenge for most groups. One approach is to have a bonder in the group. None of the enemies will strip the enchantments. Alternatively bring heroes with Smiting Prayers skills which cause holy damage. As holy damage deals double damage to the undead, who comprise nearly every enemy in this mission, this will give you a considerable advantage and shorten battles dramatically. The dervish skill Heart of Holy Flame is also very useful as it provides 30 seconds of holy damage even with 0 points on Mystisicm.

Dialogues
Briefing from Mantle Knight Karriya.
| Justiciar Isaiah: | "The undead army marches toward the Temple of Tolerance. They've already overrun the valley, and they're moving on the village of Hakewood. Come on." "It's worse than I thought. The undead have taken the whole valley. There are more of them than I thought. You must hurry. The Temple of Tolerance may already be under attack. We need more help. I'm going back to muster more Mantle Knights. You go on to warn the confessor." |
| Bonus objective: | |
|---|---|
| Benji Makala: | "HELP! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" |
| ... | |
| Benji Makala: | "You would make a good White Mantle guard. Just like my brother. You saved my life. Thank you! Most of the White Mantle don't understand the old traditions. But you seem different. There is a small offering out behind Hakewood in our ruined farm house. Just follow the path out the black gate to get there. Could you take it to our local statue of Melandru? Be careful not to drop it!" |
| Gate Guard Makala: | "I'm not supposed to let anyone through this gate, but you saved my brother's life. The village of Hakewood is in your debt, and so am I." |
| Continue mission: | |
|---|---|
| Gate Guard: | "I'll let you through, but leave at your own risk. I'll not let any more of those boneheads get to my home." |
| Temple of Tolerance: | |
|---|---|
| Confessor Dorian: | "They will press us until we have killed them all. As long as I draw breath, the Temple of Tolerance shall not fall. When they come, we form a circle around the Shrine of Mending, backs to each other. "They come at us from all sides! What evil must lurk in their bones. What villainy spurs them on? I never thought I would see this holy place desecrated by such foul creatures." |
| Continue mission: | |
| Confessor Dorian: | "Yes, yes I am already aware of the undead army. When the fort fell under attack, I sent my scribe, Dinas, away with a package. He carries the Scepter of Orr with orders to keep it out of the hands of the undead. I would be indebted if you would locate Dinas and return him here to safety." |
| Dinas: | "HELP!" "Thank the gods you found me." |
Cutscene 1
| Dinas: | "I know who you are. You're the heroes everyone is talking about!" |
| <Player>: | "That's right, and we're here to escort you back to the Temple of Tolerance." |
| Dinas: | "We can't go back to the temple. It's swarming with undead." |
| <Player>: | "That's already been taken care of. The temple is safe again." |
| Dinas: | "Oh, thank the heavens. Confessor Dorian will be very pleased to have the scepter back. Very pleased indeed." |
| <Player>: | "Then let's not keep him waiting." |
| Confessor Dorian: | "Step forward. You have taken great risk today. Placing yourself bravely in harm's way. In the face of overwhelming odds, you and your comrades chose the hero's path. And for that, I am in your debt. For your service to the White Mantle, it is my great pleasure to induct you into our organization and bestow upon you the title of Knight of the Mantle. Arise, Knight of the Mantle, and join your brothers-in-arms." |
Notes
- This mission can be easily completed with heroes. Bring along a Monk and a heavy damage-dealing hero, and when you get to Confessor Dorian, flag these heroes to stay with him. This is more than enough to keep him alive. Now make your way to Dinas, kill the boss guarding him, and talk to him. The mission will end successfully without defeating all the waves of Undead.
- It is not actually necessary to discuss the undead situation, in order to complete the mission. If you do this, Dorian will still have the green "!" over his head during the final cutscene.
