Forsaken Cathedral

Walk a bit and you'll encounter a poisoned undead. Take it out and head to the next room where you'll find another poisoned undead, a couple of chests and a macabre statue.

Continue forth until you encounter a couple of heavily armored enemies, guarding the doorway. Engage them and defeat them to continue to the next room. On the ledge lies another recollection tablet. Examine it then proceed forth.

Loot the chests along the way until you reach a large hall with giant undead and banshees. Clear the area then go downstairs to find a broken riftstone. Repair it and continue further downstairs. Make sure to save your game before you continue forth since you'll be fighting a dragon and an undead (ardinal) necromancer.

The dragon itself is easy to kill but it can still be a threat when left alone. The necromancer itself can cause various debilitations including petrification, possession, poison and its magickal attacks are not to be ignored as well. As long as you have a good stock of panacea and other curatives, you should be able to last long enough to win this battle.

You’ll deal meager damage at first but continue doing this until the necromancer is forced to possess the dragon. When it does, do everything you can to deal as much damage to the dragon as possible to force the necromancer out. This will render him vulnerable for quite a while so use this time to gang up on him and dish out your most powerful combos/attacks.

Later in the battle, the necromancer will start using even more powerful attacks such as High Maelstrom and High Exequy which can easily wipe out your party. It can also use a wide-range spell that can cause continuous and great damage to everybody within it. You have to play your cards right and don’t hesitate using your curatives for survival.

After defeating the duo, climb up the ledge in the eastern side of the hall to reach the upper ledge with the recollection tablet. Follow the corridor in the same level to find two more chests in a small room. Collect the loot in the area and continue to the next safe area, called the Corridor of the Hollowed.
