Many people in the Resistance want to do this mission because it pays very well. Players will get involved in this story and learn more about the game’s world.
How to Start the A Pact of Fire and Darkness quest
Benny in Akidu Valley knows about a secret group called the Talon Guild. Their leader, Arthur Talon, was offering big rewards to soldiers who would do dangerous missions related to the orcs. These missions included spying on the orcs, even the peaceful ones in Laslan.
Starting the Quest
You learned that the Fonos orcs were acting more aggressively because they were having problems with the Akidu orcs. They were planning a big fire festival to make themselves stronger and fight the Akidu orcs. To stop the Fonos orcs from becoming too powerful, you defeated the leaders of their fire festival. The Talon Guild then started looking into these leaders to learn more about them. After completing your mission, you went to tell Arthur Talon about it. You learned that Benny had been taken by the Akidu orcs. As you were going to rescue him, a wizard named Zarek gave you a potion that would change you into an orc. He said you might need it later.
Finding Benny
You learned where Benny was from a drunk orc. This information helped you find a notebook with Benny’s name on it and a key to a prison. You drank the potion to turn into an orc and sneak into the place where Benny was being held. But the potion turned you into a Fonos orc, which made the Akidu orcs attack you.
Even though the orcs put you in jail, you were able to escape using a key you found. You defeated the orcs and found Benny, who was also in jail and had been turned into an orc. He said he needed to change back into his human form before he could escape.
Revelation of secrets
The Akidu orcs were kidnapping Fonos orcs and using dark magic to turn them into evil, mindless creatures called Shadow orcs. These creatures only knew how to fight and would fight until they died.
Zarek, who seemed to be a wizard from the Talon Guild, was actually a member of the Arkeum Legion, a secret group that had joined the Resistance. This was bad news because it showed that the Akidu orcs’ evil rituals were connected to the Legion. Arthur Talon, the leader of the Talon Guild, was working for Arkeum because Zarek had paid him. This was another betrayal. You and Benny fought against them, but more enemies were coming.
Solving the Blue Relic
You escaped from the valley and told Gideon, the leader of Canina Village, that Arthur Talon was working for the enemy. But you needed proof to show that he was a traitor. Talk to Benny and find a way to escape. Then, study and use the special relic that Talon brought.
How to Solve the Blue Relic
Solving the Blue Relic puzzle is pretty simple: use the prompts provided to rotate the relic until you get the cogwheel icon. When you get the cogwheel icon, hit the second mouse key to activate the first part of the puzzle.
