Your previous encounter with Rathma’s Golem ended with a victorious outcome, and you now have clues regarding the whereabouts of the pieces of the blade.
The first thing you will need to do is head back to the Temple of Light to inform Tharra before you and Lorath begin the search for the first piece.
With the piece located somewhere in Lycander, it may be best to speak with Tharra, as she might have an idea of where it might be.
How To Get In Rathma’s Footsteps Quest?
In Rathma’s Footsteps becomes your active quest after completing A Blade’s Weight, where you previously encountered Rathma’s Golem.
After defeating Rathma’s Golem, you are given clues in the form of riddles that point to the locations of the blade’s scattered pieces.
In Rathma’s Footsteps Walkthrough
Now that you have clues regarding the pieces of the blade, make your way back to the Temple of Life to speak with Tharra.
Tharra will mention a place similar to what was mentioned in the riddle regarding the first piece, which is somewhere in Lycander.
Follow the waypoint that leads you to the Untouched Woods that Tharra has mentioned, which eventually leads you to The Austral Chambers.
Around the northern part of the marked area, you will find a Rathmic Statue, which you must interact with, causing the Hands of Akarat to appear.
Mephisto begins to possess one of them and later sacrifices the group to create an Infernal Corpse Tamer, which you must defeat.
After defeating the Infernal Corpse Tamer, regroup with Tharra and Lorath as they discuss whether she now believes what he has been trying to convince her of.
Speak to Lorath after their conversation, where Tharra agrees to join the search for the blade, and the quest will then come to an end.
In Rathma’s Footsteps Quest Rewards
After defeating the Infernal Corpse Tamer and speaking to Lorath, In Rathma’s Footsteps will be complete, and a new quest called The Path of Riddles begins.
In addition to the next quest being unlocked, you also receive:
- XP
- Gold
Verdict
Following Rathma’s clues leads you to the first real lead on the blade, but it quickly becomes clear that Mephisto’s influence is already interfering with your progress.
The encounter with the Hands of Akarat and the creation of the Infernal Corpse Tamer show that the enemy is actively working against you, turning even your discoveries into threats.
With the creature defeated and Tharra now convinced, she joins your cause, strengthening your efforts as the search for the blade’s pieces continues.
