Icon Flies on the Wall Flies on the Wall
Head to the Amber Temple to help Kasimir.
Area Goal Quests & Cinematics
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
I feel that every time we move ahead in this accursed land, we end up pushed even farther back.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
We still have our goal, though. We need to find the still-missing seed and the other items that Madame Eva foretold would be key to our defeating Strahd.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Easy ta say, but not so easy ta do with no leads, and nowhere ta seek 'em in this land that don't see us open ta attack from that vampire's minions.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Perhaps. Or perhaps there is somewhere we can go. The dusk elf, Kasimir, talked of going to the Amber Temple. If we find him there, he might be able to help us. The clues he was seeking might be of aid to us as well.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Right. Sounds like another Barovia road trip. Everybody saddle up?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Saddle up? Do you have horses you've been hiding, then?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Just an expression, elf. Try ta keep tha mood light, eh?
1 Defeat 25 Monsters The ever-present mists of Ravenloft are no concealment against the bats that haunt this realm. Look sharp!
2 Defeat 25 Monsters Strahd's ravens launch an aerial attack!
3 Collect 25 Raven Feathers Clipping these ravens' wings will make them back off -- but a host of vampire spawn are on your trail!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Oh, good, it's starting to snow. That'll help the miles fly by.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
If you have enough room in your head for problem solving as well as sarcastic wit, you could turn your attention to the task at hand, Jarlaxle. The Tome of Strahd and the Holy Symbol of Ravenkind still need to be found. But where?
Icon Portrait EzmereldaDAvenir
Ezmeralda:
I know these relics by name, but where they're hidden is as much a mystery to me as to you. But what were you told by the seer?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
'The thing you seek lies with the dead, under mountains of gold.' Could that be the Amber Temple, you think?
Icon Portrait EzmereldaDAvenir
Ezmeralda:
It seems unlikely. The temple doesn't get its name from any great treasure. But we'll know when we get there.
4 Defeat 25 Monsters An unnatural snow descends as the vampire spawn close in around you.
5 Defeat the Shadow Imp A shadow imp joins the fray! Drive all these unnatural creatures back!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Watch yourselves! There's something on the wing in the storm ahead, trying to stay out of sight.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I can see them. Mephits, I'm guessing. Whatever elemental power is driving this storm, they're drawn to it.
6 Defeat 25 Monsters The vampire spawn are falling back at last, but ice mephits drawn to these snowy climes are a deadly threat.
7 Defeat 25 Monsters These mephits show no signs of breaking. Push on!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Can't catch no break from them mephits! We gotta keep movin'!
Icon Portrait EzmereldaDAvenir
Ezmeralda:
I think I see the temple entrance ahead. We're close.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
And I think I see our dusk elf. Perfect timing.
Icon Portrait KasimirVelikov
Kasimir:
Champions! We are well met.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Aye and ta ye, too. Any extra blade in this fight will be welcome.
Icon Portrait KasimirVelikov
Kasimir:
My sword is yours, but follow me if you can. If we can get into the temple, it might provide us some respite from attack.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Yeah, I can tell you're new to traveling with us. That's typically not how it works...
8 Collect 25 Frozen Shards The unnatural ice around the temple entrance is allowing the mephits to respawn. Gather these shards!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
The mephits are regrouping. I think this'll be the most respite we get. So what kind of deal are we striking, elf?
Icon Portrait KasimirVelikov
Kasimir:
No need to take that tone, friend. There are secrets within the amber temple we both need. I need to find a way to save my sister, you need to find the clues to help you defeat Strahd. The enemy of my enemy, right?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
We made a lot o' enemies other tha years, son, but fighting us don't automatically make them all friends. Likewise, ye and us fightin' Strahd don't necessarily mean more than that. But tell us what ye're lookin' fer and we'll see how it lines up with our quest.
Icon Portrait KasimirVelikov
Kasimir:
I'm looking for an amber sarcophagus. Should be easy to find. If you see one, don't touch it. Just let me know.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Sounds intriguing. I don't suppose you're going to tell us what's in it?
Icon Portrait KasimirVelikov
Kasimir:
Knowledge that might help us all. Now come on.
9 Defeat 25 Monsters Another wave of mephits threatens to overwhelm you. Fight on!
10 Defeat the Air Elemental Unnatural twig blights pour forth from the temple entrance -- but this air elemental guardian is the bigger threat!
11 Defeat 25 Monsters The blights that guard the temple press in. Push past them!
12 Defeat 25 Monsters Inside the temple, the accursed mist breaks at last. But that just makes it easier for the giant rats that dwell here to spot you!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
It's a blessed thing to be able to see at last. That mist clouds the eyes and the soul.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
There's still enough shadow here to keep your soul harrowed, never fear. There's evil in this place.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Wouldn't be a proper ruined temple without it. Come on. If there's evil ta smash, we gotta find it first.
13 Collect 25 Amber Shards The amber shards that give the temple its name are adding to these guardians' supernatural fury. Disrupt their power!
14 Defeat 25 Monsters Swarms of bats and undead flameskulls swarm around you. Watch out!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
There! Something ahead. I sense fiendish power.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
An arcanaloth! This is a powerful spellcaster. Watch yourselves, friends.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Look out, it cast mirror image! There may be four, but only one is the true arcanaloth!
15 Defeat 1 Arcanaloth A conniving arcanaloth has made the temple its lair. Clear this evil creature out!
16 Defeat 25 Monsters The flameskulls fall back for a time -- but another pack of giant rats surges forward to take their place.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Still no sign of Kasimir's amber sarcophagus. We could wander this temple for days at this rate.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Figure tha scope o' tha guardians'll tell us if we're on tha right track. Rats and bats ain't protectin' nothin' o' worth. But them flameskulls we fought before is watchin' over somethin', I'd bet.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
We'll see soon enough. I sense evil again in the darkness. Getting closer.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Heh. Green light from them undead says let's go!
17 Defeat 25 Monsters As you press further along the corridors, another force of flameskulls swarms before you!
18 Collect 25 Skulls Even more giant rats spill forth from the shadows! Look sharp!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Listen... does anyone else hear a voice? There's someone ahead.
Icon Portrait Vilnius
Vilnius:
Light... who approaches? Get back, I tell you! This place will kill us all!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Lovely. I do like a welcoming committee that's on point.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
It's clearly someone in trouble. We need to investigate.
Icon Portrait KasimirVelikov
Kasimir:
I'd be careful if I were you. Those who spend too long in the Amber Temple can become... unpredictable.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Either way, best we keep movin' so we don't end up fittin' that description ourselves. Come on.
19 Defeat 25 Monsters You move toward the voice but the rats are relentless! Don't let them surround you!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
There he is! And he looks hurt.
Icon Portrait Vilnius
Vilnius:
No! Stay away! I should never have come here, should never have followed him.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Please, friend. Let us help you if we can...
Icon Portrait Vilnius
Vilnius:
No! Treachery! I'll kill you all!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Well, I can't say that was all that unpredictable, as things go.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Less jawin' and more sawin', elf. We got a crazy wizard ta fight!
20 Defeat the Vilnius The evil of the temple can drive folk to madness -- and you might be a sacrifice to that madness if this wizard has his way!
21 Defeat 25 Monsters The last of the giant rats begin to break -- but the howling of wolves announces an even greater threat!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
The defenders of this temple are legion. We need to fall back!
Icon Portrait KasimirVelikov
Kasimir:
No! We're close, I know it. This way!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Well? Are we following the elf or not?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Looks like some kind o' chamber he's fightin' toward. Might have better luck in open space against these wolves than lettin' 'em pin us in this hall. I say we follow. Come on!
22 Defeat 25 Monsters The wolves close in quickly. Break through while you can!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Well. It looks like our dusk elf's instincts were correct. There's his amber sarcophagus.
Icon Portrait KasimirVelikov
Kasimir:
At last! Stand with me friends. We only need a moment...
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
I'd be feeling better if we knew what we needed that moment for, 'friend.' What magic does this place hold?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Looks like he's more interested in fightin' his way through than talkin'. And that ain't sittin' right with me. Stay close ta him!
23 Collect 25 Foreign Coins Coins scattered around the sarcophagus room might be your only compensation for this endless fight. Grab them while you can!
24 Defeat 25 Monsters The werewolves that direct the attacks of this pack call their wolves to regroup!
Icon Portrait KasimirVelikov
Kasimir:
Almost there... now...
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
You fool! There's evil in all these sarcophagi. I can feel it!
Icon Portrait KasimirVelikov
Kasimir:
There is nothing but evil in Strahd's realm, friend. But I will seek power where I can find it. For Patrina!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
No!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Leave him be, lass. Whatever he's done ain't setting him against us yet. And we got fightin' ta do!
25 Defeat the Werewolf Leader Evil stands to all sides of you, even as the leader of these werewolves gathers the pack for a final stand!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Fool! What have you done!
Icon Portrait KasimirVelikov
Kasimir:
What I needed to do. For my sister, Patrina Velikovna, long dead. The gift of Zhudun, the Corpse Star, will let me bring her back.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Seems a mighty one-sided errand ye asked our aid fer, elf. We stood by yer side ta see it done. Now what've ye got ta offer us in return?
Icon Portrait KasimirVelikov
Kasimir:
To fight with you to enter Castle Ravenloft. Patrina is entombed there. You help me get to her, and I'll help you destroy the vampire.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
I don't trust this one to keep that or any other bargain.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Perhaps not. But this isn't the place to debate it, I don't think. If there's nothing for us here, we need to get clear of the temple, and quickly.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Stop! Something's coming!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Pretty sure it's here already. 'Tis Strahd! And he's come fer tha dusk elf, I'd guess.
Icon Portrait Strahd
Strahd:
Kasimir. You think you can stop me, but how have you not learned? Have I not done enough to quiet your clan?
Icon Portrait KasimirVelikov
Kasimir:
Your threats have no weight for me, devil. I have power beyond you now. I will rescue my sister. And then I will see you dead, Strahd!
Icon Portrait Strahd
Strahd:
No. You won't.
Icon Portrait KasimirVelikov
Kasimir:
...
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
No! Kasimir!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Stay back, lass! Tha vampire's killed him. That's all tha good that doin' deals with evil does.
26 Defeat 25 Monsters Vampire spawn advance at the devil Strahd's bidding. Stand fast!
Icon Portrait EzmereldaDAvenir
Ezmerelda:
You devil. If your intention is to kill us all, then do it!
Icon Portrait Strahd
Strahd:
My dear. I'll come for you all in time. For now, enjoy my gift to you. Your group of so-called champions has one less mouth to feed. And I'll even send you more of my friends to help you escape the Amber Temple. If you can.
27 Defeat 25 Monsters A second wave of vampire spawn hits hard! Clear them out!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Wait up! We passed this way before, and I'm pretty sure Kasimir would have noticed amber sarcophagi in the middle of the corridor.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
The vampires must have placed them here. Keep moving, but don't touch them!
28 None Whatever deadly trap is contained within these amber sarcophagi can't be allowed to slow you down!
Icon Portrait Strahd
Strahd:
Delina...
Icon Delina
Delina:
No! Where's the vampire...? Ah, only in my mind.
Icon Portrait Strahd
Strahd:
No. Not just your mind. I see your soul as well. And the shadow in you where your brother once dwelled.
Icon Delina
Delina:
My brother is dead. You have no hold on me, devil. Just leave me to my grief.
29 Defeat 25 Monsters Strahd's vampire spawn couldn't stop you -- so now the devil sends his zombies to finish the job!
30 Defeat the Amber Golem An amber golem! Don't let this temple guardian stop you!
Icon Portrait Strahd
Strahd:
Asharra...
Icon Asharra
Asharra:
I know my mind well enough to recognize your corrupt touch, Strahd. Get out of my dreams.
Icon Portrait Strahd
Strahd:
This is no dream, Asharra. This is the reminder of our bargain.
Icon Asharra
Asharra:
... We have no bargain, devil.
Icon Portrait Strahd
Strahd:
Yes. For Tatyana. When you hear the bells ring, tell Tatyana to hide. For your freedom. Your home, in exchange for my beloved. You know what to do...
31 Defeat 25 Monsters Another wave of zombies and vampire spawn launch an assault from the shadows!
32 Defeat 25 Monsters The last of the spawn fall at last, but swarms of bats hem you in!
33 Defeat 25 Monsters Even as the zombies are driven back, the light of undead flameskulls erupts to all sides!
Icon Portrait Strahd
Strahd:
Jarlaxle...
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Ah, this again? I was wondering why so many of the others were looking distracted.
Icon Portrait Strahd
Strahd:
Jarlaxle, why do you push me away? Don't you know I could elevate you to the height of the most powerful drow in Faerûn? All you have to do is will it, and I can make it true. You know this.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
My destiny is my own, vampire. When I come to you with a bargain, you'll know it's time for us to deal.
34 Collect 25 Bat Wings The bats swarm so thickly that it's hard to see! Clip their wings to thin their ranks!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
These flameskulls are relentless. Curse them all!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
They're undead and bound to eternal servitude. I'm pretty sure that's about as cursed as anyone can get.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Hey, elf? Ye got an identical twin brother by any chance?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
No. What kind of absurd question is that?
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Most likely tha same one that drow up ahead's probably askin' himself...
35 Defeat the Jarlaxle Strahd's evil has created a mockery to taunt you! Finish this false champion!
Icon Calliope
Calliope:
Have to say, drow, for all the times my mind's wandered for more than a moment toward wanting to stick a sword through your ribs, fighting even that version of you was less fulfilling than I thought it would be.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Strahd! I know you can hear me! We are not your playthings, nor are we amused by your attempts to break us. We are the champions! And we're coming for you...
36 Defeat 25 Monsters You draw closer to the entrance -- and the unnatural twig blights that guard that entrance swarm you from the shadows!
37 Defeat 25 Monsters Another force of blights presses you. Look sharp!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
These blights refuse to stop coming. Oh, for a portable hole filled to the brim with weed killer...
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
It's so unusual seeing these creatures inside, so far from any source of natural power.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Oh, no. You've got that scholarly tone in your voice again.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
We need to assess whether these blights are the same strain we fought at the Wizard of Wines. Get some samples while we fight.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
The things I do in the name of research...
38 Collect 25 Twig Samples Your attempt to gather pieces of the fallen twig blights is hampered by their relentless assault!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Oi! It must've really stormed while we were in tha temple. Watch your step through this snow!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
How is this not slowing these blights down? They're like some kind of all-terrain monster!
39 Defeat 25 Monsters The mists of Ravenloft are never a welcome sight -- but they show you that your time at the temple is nearly done.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Stay together! Strahd is coming again! I can feel his approach!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Listen! Bells are ringing from the temple. What does it mean?
Icon Asharra
Asharra:
It means the devil is coming for Ireena! Stay close to us!
Icon Portrait IreenaKoylana
Ireena:
No! I won't let you sacrifice yourselves for me!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
We make our own choices who we fight fer, lass. And it looks like we fight fer ye today.
Icon Portrait Strahd
Strahd:
This is no fight, fools. If I was to fight you, you would not survive. This is me taking what is mine!
40 Defeat the Strahd on Horseback The devil Strahd has come! Is this your final stand against the vampire?!
Icon Portrait IreenaKoylana
Ireena:
Stay away from me! I will end my life before...
Icon Portrait Strahd
Strahd:
No! Not again! Never again. You are mine, Tatyana. Witness your champions, helpless before me. You are worth more than them. You are worth the world I made for you. And you are mine.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
Ireena! No! He's taking her...
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
They're gone. It's too late.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Belay that. It ain't too late until we call tha time. Come on! We get out o' accursed temple first, and then that devil's ours!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Careful! There's someone up ahead. Someone I don't know...
Icon Portrait BabaLysaga
Baba Lysaga:
I saw you, my boy. So much power. Such majesty...
Icon Portrait EzmereldaDAvenir
Ezmerelda:
Fates hold us all... I know that one. Baba Lysaga! Strahd's own midwife, who should have ended his life and hers the night he was born.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Baba Lysaga! She's the one who stole the third gem from the Wizard of Wines. What is she doing here?
Icon Portrait EzmereldaDAvenir
Ezmerelda:
Seeking after her ward, no doubt. She fears to face Strahd, for she knows he would reject her hideousness. So she circles close to where he's been, dreaming of the evil she helped create.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Then this might be the only bit of good luck to come from this dark day. We need that stone. Champions! Get to her, and quickly!
41 Defeat 25 Monsters You need to get clear of the temple grounds -- but these accursed blights still block your way!
42 Defeat 25 Monsters The number of blights at the temple entrance seems to be increasing -- and Baba Lysaga's presence here tells you why!
43 Defeat 25 Monsters The fast-piling snow threatens to hem you in. Clear it out!
44 Defeat 25 Monsters The blights gather their strength for a final assault! Stand fast!
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Baba Lysaga! The gem you stole from the winery. Deliver it to us and we might parley.
Icon Portrait BabaLysaga
Baba Lysaga:
Ah! Such impertinence. You dare speak to me thus? On your knees, child, and I might forgive your transgressions.
Icon Portrait EzmereldaDAvenir
Ezmerelda:
There is no dealing with this one, Celeste. Her worship of Mother Night has turned her soul to black stone. Death is the only parley this one will ever understand.
45 Defeat the Baba Lysaga Baba Lysaga means to make you the latest souls laid to rest in the Amber Temple! Fight on!
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
This witch... even dead, the evil in her is so strong it chills me.
Icon Portrait EzmereldaDAvenir
Ezmerelda:
There's more than one lifetime's evil in that one. But where is this gem?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
No sign of it, and I've searched her twice.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
If not on her person, where would she hide it?
Icon Portrait EzmereldaDAvenir
Ezmerelda:
In her house would be my guess.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
Then that's our next destination. Ezmerelda, do you know how to find it?
Icon Portrait EzmereldaDAvenir
Ezmerelda:
Oh, don't worry. If she's used the gem for the purpose I think she has, Baba Lysaga's house will find us...
46 Defeat 25 Monsters A last force of mephits and blights presses you hard. Don't let these creatures hold you here!
47 Defeat 25 Monsters As fast as you drive the blights back, more swarm to take their place!
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
I am done with this snow! I am done with these ice mephits! Anyone casting fireball, feel free to put me in it!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Feh. This be a spring day in Icewind Dale, elf. 'Tis bracin', it is.
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
Remind me never to book a winter holiday with you. Wait... does anyone feel that rumbling?
Icon Portrait EzmereldaDAvenir
Ezmerelda:
Aye, and look to that green glow around the far corner. That's where we're headed!
48 None The wind drives more snow against you. Push on!
49 Defeat 25 Monsters The blights are driven back at last -- but a final force of ice mephits hits you hard!
50 Defeat the Baba Lysaga Baba Lysaga's hut is as deadly a threat as the witch herself! Stand fast!
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Well, that was an unexpected bit o' housekeeping. But we got what we came fer.
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
The final gem, to be returned to the winery.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
And after that? Am I thinkin' we're all on tha same page about where we head next?
Icon Celeste
Celeste:
I don't think there's anyone here who's not of the same mind, Bruenor. We need to go to the castle, for Ireena. We need to destroy Strahd.
Icon Nayeli
Nayeli:
We're all agreed. You have any of your usual complaints, Jarlaxle?
Icon Jarlaxle
Jarlaxle:
No. Not this time. We go to the castle.
Icon Bruenor
Bruenor:
Right. Everybody stay close, then. We got a long road ahead -- and tha fight o' our lives at its end.
