Oh cool more reading
Wait oh no I gotta like actually read this time
Mhmm mhmm I totally read all of that and didn't just screenshot the books for future use in case I need to know this nonsense
Linda didn't tell me where to go, just said if I have an idea then I should go try it. Cool.
My quick skim of that reading at least told me I need a key and mentioned the statue in Fort Pinta. I guess I'll try there?
Bingo! There's a secret compartment behind the nameplate, and there was a weird sun-shaped key inside. Off to Jarl's Tomb, then!
Well that sure looks like a sun-shaped keyhole for a sun-shaped key alright
ooo glowy as I unlock it, that's fun
aaaaand we're in. there sure is a lot of unlocking things in this questline
This man keeps flickering, we must have a bad connection
He asked me a bunch of questions to see if I was worthy of the light of Aideen. They were mostly things from those books I had to read, so I'm really glad I screenshot them lol
I was deemed worthy and he gave me Aideen's light, but it needs to be charged so I took it to Elizabeth to do that
Hey girl what's up I got a cool rock, pls tell me how to make it glow
She gives me her wand and instructs me to put the rock in front of the sun rune and then wave the wand. Cool
Exciting stuff
Now we gotta test how well it works and
Yep I sure am glowing. Elizabeth warns that the brighter the light, the darker the shadows. Basically using this light magic is gonna attract shadow creatures. Fun!
Can't be helped, though. It's really important we get that apple.
This is fun, they just disappear as I run past!
behold the golden apple. yoink
ruh roh
Witches seem to have appeared out of nowhere and are throwing potions at me. Now it's time to do the scarecrow race we all know and love. I did not take any more pictures because I was too busy failing the race like 3 times. I'm so used to the Halloween one where you can get hit and it just slows you down. Here you fail the race if you get hit lol
I made it to Alex eventually tho, don't worry. She called us heroes for getting the apple and told me to bring it to Pi
Hey Pi how is my favorite completely normal person? I brought you a treat pls don't make me a frog again
or do actually frogs are p cool
She can't resist the apple, no matter how hard she tries, and now she's no longer evil
The only thing that changed is that she's no longer green lol
She apologized for all the trouble she caused and told us she was meant to corrupt Justin's horse to make it a Dark Horse. There's three other horses she's already done this to, Justin's horse is the forth. Also she was supposed to give the newly corrupted horse back tomorrow at the same dock we watched Justin sail away from. The horse is to be taken to an oil rig off in the ocean.
So I told Alex all that and she said we gotta intercept this meeting, pretend to be the person dropping off the corrupted horse, and sneak on board Dark Core's oil rig. We'll need back up in case we need a quick get away, so I had to go ask the captain if he'll help.
He said yes of course he owes me. That's cool dude, I’ve literally never spoken to you before. Must be a side quest I haven't done yet lol
Anyways he's gonna follow behind the dark core boat and be the get away driver if we need one. He gave me a flair and did a lot of bragging about how stealth he can be and yet...
Sir your ship is quite obvious. This is the opposite of stealth.
Now we wait for Dark Core to show up tomorrow. Honestly I remember struggling to get past this quest for a long time when I did it on my main. I hope it's not as hard for me now lol
