Walkthrough

To learn more about the thief, you have to speak with some of the NPCs inside the demesne. They are usually marked with the question mark over their heads. The NPCs you have to find are Pering (he’s walking around the area), Ser Gyles (in the storeroom) and Ambrose (usually found near the duke). Speak to Aldous after talking the marked NPCs.

After talking to Aldous, your quest will be updated. Leave the demesne and head to the noble quarter. Find the NPC named Mellard who will mention that Salomet is possibly in the Ancient Quarry. Head to the quarry and you’ll encounter Salomet and his small group of weak bandits. Kill them all and Salomet with flee.

Report back to Aldous in Gran Soren. Then, head to the Urban Quarter and talk to Brice. You’ll learn that Salomet was seen heading to the Bluemoon Tower. If you have planted a portcrystal there , then you just need to use a ferrystone to return to that isolated dungeon. Otherwise, you’ll have to do it the hard way by walking there on foot.

Fight your way to the stairs again. You may want to save your game for every chance you get. Continue to the second floor to engage Salomet. It will be a challenging battle for melee –type characters since Salomet “blinks” / teleports instantly. The best way to deal with this wizard is by using ranged attacks. He will also call forth undead reinforcements. Take out these pesky annoyances while concentrating your attacks to the main boss itself. Ignoring them will just make things harder for you since they can interrupt your actions. Salomet is also weak to lightning so bringing lightning enhanced equipment or a mage that can enhance weapons with lightning will help a lot in this battle.

After defeating Salomet, he will drop the Wyrmking’s Ring. Pick it up as well as a nearby ferrystone. Loot the area then retrun to Gran Soren. Turn over the original ring or the forgery to complete the quest.

Tip: The Wyrmking’s Ring can speed up the cast time of all magick attacks by 15%. You can forge a copy of it through the Black Cat and keep the original. The powerless forgery can be turned over as a quest item. However, turning over the forgery will prevent you from getting the Paladin’s Mantle in the duke’s treasury. (You can still sneak at night and steal it though)
