Exact quest requirements
Prerequisite: The Voice Below
- 3 × Core Key Shard — collect objective
Quest text: This is the last threshold, the Witness. The gate of the Null Daemon's Core was locked with a keystone, and the cult shattered it into shards rather than see it turned against them. The shards lie scattered in the gate plaza, under the hollow eyes of the Deallocated. Bring me three, and I will open the way the Signal intended — quietly.
