9: The Sword of the Crusader

Sir Lathon is accompanying you, but you might as well tell him to wait outside before entering Underpall Cave; you won't need his help anyway. Once in Underpall Cave, follow the arrow on your compass to the door to Underpall Keep. Enter Underpall Keep; there are plenty of skeletons in this area, so be cautious. Follow the arrow on your compass to the Underpall Reflecting Chamber.

In the Underpall Reflecting Chamber, following the arrow on your compass will lead you to Lord Berich Vlindrel. He's got some nasty spells in his arsenal, so be careful. When you have defeated the shade, pick up the desecrated Sword of the Crusader. You must travel to the Chapel of Arkay in Cheydinhal to reconsecrate the relic.

The vengeful spirit of Lord Berich Vlindrel wields the Sword of the Crusader in Underpall Keep.

With the desecrated Sword of the Crusader in your inventory, travel to Cheydinhal and enter the Chapel of Arkay. Another batch of Umaril's minions can be found inside. Kill them all, and then approach the Altar of the Nine in the middle of the chapel. Activate the altar to cleanse the Sword of the Crusade. With this, you now have all eight of the Divine Crusader relics, so make your way back to the Priory of the Nine.
