  2. Your fitting and route stand

    Odile sells rune plate and replacement shields. You may use the island route. The island side of the strange wall always lets you leave.

  3. Meet Garrick with 32 quest points

    Earn 32 total quest points, including historical points. Meet Garrick beside the volcano ladder. Bring food: combat 60+ is advised for the public cavern walk, and 73+ is left alone.

  4. Collect or withdraw your kit

    Bring the plate blank, throat hook and breath-ward shield. Withdraw banked copies; Garrick replaces genuinely lost pieces.

  5. Wear the breath-ward shield

    Equip the shield before entering the volcano. The public cavern has ordinary dangerous creatures.

  6. Push the strange wall

    Walk west from the underground ladder along the main corridor. Red spiders wait at the strange wall and you cannot push it mid-fight. Push it from its south side to enter your private tunnel.

  7. Climb down the volcano ladder

    Climb down the ladder, then head west towards the strange wall. Death outside the private tunnel is ordinary death; spiders and skeletons attack anyone under combat 73, so bring food.

  8. Creep towards the chamber

    Move while the breathing is shallow. Freeze when the tunnel shudders. A flinch returns you to the last bend; there is no time limit.

  9. Return to the tunnel

    From the volcano rim, climb down and push the strange wall from the south. Your completed work survives a failed attempt.

  15. Hold the scorch-black flagstone

    Stand on the scorch-black flagstone for the tick before and the tick of each breath. Hold three breaths with the shield worn and blank carried; misses keep your count.

  17. Choose the dragon's fate

    Talk to the kneeling dragon. Spare it or finish it; either earns the route and fitting. Only slaying earns Dragonslayer. A closed menu can be reopened.

  18. Bring Cinderthroat to its knees

    Fight with your own gear. Keep the shield worn for its returning breath. The fight stops at the knees, when you may choose an ending.
