Detailed Walkthrough

At the Observatory

After you've completed all four of the story quests in Lower Craglorn (The Corrupted Stone, The Warrior's Call, Elemental Army and The Shattered and the Lost), return to the Star-Gazers' Observatory to talk to Hara. When you arrive, Nazdura will tell you that Hara has been feeling exhausted and is upstairs resting with Titus and Kelmen. Go upstairs to the Private Quarters, and you will witness Hara being consumed by the Serpent's magic. Before she disappears, she mentions the ruins of Reinhold's Retreat.

Titus will be surprised by her knowledge of the ancient city, as it was an all-but-forgotten ruin even during his time. It was buried by his liege Emperor Tarish-Zi after he failed to find the treasure the ruins supposedly once held, and Titus will reveal that the city of Belkarth was built right on top of it. He and Kelmen will agree to help explore the ruins and rescue Hara. The ruin's entrance is located in the lake just south of town. It is sealed by a puzzle; all four members of your group need to activate a pillar at the same time to open it. A whirlpool will appear in the center of the lake when it is done successfully, allowing you to enter.

The Scaled Court

Once you enter the ruins, you will be confronted by large groups of enemies from the Scaled Court. They are mortals who have been manipulated into serving the Serpent, and your group will need to fight its way through them. Reinhold's Retreat is a linear dungeon, although you will need to defeat a champion of the Scaled Court to continue further in. In the final room you will discover a giant ethereal snake wrapped around a large stone, which Kelmen will confirm to be the Thief's Apex Stone, hidden beneath Belkarth all along.

The Serpent's spectral avatar will attempt to stop you by spawning continual waves of Scaled Court enemies and spewing large area of effect poison projectiles which linger on the ground. To damage him, your group needs to defeat both Lamia Curares at the same time, which will light up the crystals on either side of the arena and shock the Serpent. If you don't defeat them simultaneously, the beaten lamia will regain its health and begin fighting again after a short stun period. After several waves of lamia attacks, the snake will descend and you will need to fight the Serpent's Corruption directly.

Once you've defeated it, Hara will descend from her prison and take on a more familiar form. She will reveal herself as The Thief, who has been hiding in plain sight the entire time. She will open a portal to the center of Belkarth for your group, and requests that you return to the observatory to speak of what is to come after she has revealed herself to the star-gazers. Once at the observatory, she will give you your reward: the Pendant of the Sundered Triad and 302 gold.

After this, the Undaunted will appear at the observatory entrance and offer you the two trial quests in Lower Craglorn, Assaulting the Citadel and The Mage's Tower. Completing this quest is also required before you can begin Dawn of the Exalted Viper, the final story quest of Upper Craglorn.
