Walkthrough
Solo Duty
At the end of The Heretic among Us, the player must battle to imposter Inquisitor Guillaime (player will sync if they are above level 44). At 75% health, he will call on the aid of three level 38 Wyrmhounds. At about 30% health, he will transform into a monstrous dragon at full health and will begin to deal various AoE attacks (circular and wedge). At 75% health in his dragon form, he will call on the aid of two level 39 Wyverns. At 25% health, he will call in additional Wyrmhounds and Wyverns until the battle is over.
The duty will fail if the player or Drillemont dies.
The duty will fail if not all enemies are defeated.
At the end of the battle, Guillaime will foretell the player's demise at The Stone Vigil.
Steps
- Speak with the knight of House Durendaire.
- Speak with Alphinaud.
Journal
- Lord Drillemont requires your assistance in bringing the heretic masquerading as Inquisitor Guillaime to justice.
- Lord Drillemont has asked you to accompany him to Snowcloak, where the heretic masquerading as Inquisitor Guillaime is said to be conducting another interrogation. If the impostor refuses to surrender, Lord Drillemont intends to use force. Prepare for the worst and rendezvous with the knights at Snowcloak.
- Faced with Lord Drillemont's accusations, the false inquisitor declares that he cannot betray that which he owes no allegiance, and that all Ishgardians must be held to account for their persecution of the heretics. With that, he summons his Dravanian allies and endeavors to defend himself, going so far as to use his magicks to assume the form of a dragon. The ruse serves only to anger Lord Drillemont, however, and with his aid you dispel the heretic's glamour and slay his scalekin accomplices. Defiant to the last, the nameless heretic rejoices in the vengeance he wreaked, predicting with his dying breath that you will meet your end in the Stone Vigil. Return to Whitebrim Front and inform Alphinaud of the impostor's demise.
- Alphinaud refuses to revel in your victory over the false inquisitor, declaring that there will be time enough to celebrate when the Enterprise has been secured. Happily, your path into the Stone Vigil now seems clear. All that remains is for you and your companions to pay one final visit to Lord Drillemont.
Dialogue
Accepting the quest
That thrice-damned heretic has murdered countless innocents, and made a mockery of our laws! Hells take him and his Dravanian allies!
I am told he makes for Snowcloak even now, intending to pass judgment upon yet another poor soul whom he has branded heretic. If we hurry, there may still be time to prevent further tragedy.
Lend me your strength, Forename! Together, let us put an end to this impostor's heresy once and for all!
Speaking with the knight of House Durendaire
Good to have you with us, sir/miss. When Lord Drillemont arrives, we are to confront the inquisitor. If he refuses to go quietly, we will need to use force. Are you prepared for that eventuality?
Start of cutscene. You needn't tremble so, my child. The righteous shall enjoy everlasting peace in Halone's halls. Only the wicked─
But why!? Why must I die!? By all that is holy, I swear to you that I have never questioned the teachings of Halone!
Inquisitor! Release the maid and come with us!
My lord Drillemont─what is the meaning of this interruption? You are aware that I am at present conducting an interrogation, are you not?
Silence, villain! I name thee heretic, murderer of Inquisitor Guillaime and countless innocents!
You are a traitor to Ishgard, to your own kith and kin! Your sins are beyond measure─beyond redemption!
Ah...grave allegations indeed. But you will find your logic is flawed. How can I betray that which I owe no allegiance? No, Lord Drillemont─my conscience is quite clear, I assure you.
I wonder...can you say the same? You whose hands are black with the blood of those whose only sin was to question your nation's crazed crusade!
You speak to me of Ishgardian innocents? Hah! All are complicit in these crimes, for all live their lives by the archbishop's lies.
But I know you will not hear me, deafened by dogma as you are. If you desire retribution, Lord Drillemont, then come─let us see how Ishgardian steel fares against Dravanian fang and claw!
End of cutscene.
Solo Instance
Defeat Inquisitor Guillaime!
Show the heretic no mercy! He must pay for the innocent blood he has spilled!
Ignorant swine! Soon you will know the futility of your faith!
Do you see, heretic? You and your allies are no match for the might of Ishgard!
How wrong you are, Ishgardian! I have been blessed with power far beyond your ken!
Come, my brothers─grant me the strength to smite our enemies!
I...am...reborn!
Stand your ground─'tis but an illusion!
A dragon stands before you, yet still you do not flee!?
Your magicks have no power over me, heretic!
No, NO! It cannot be!
Optional dialogue
If Drillemont is KO'd
Ugh...I swear by the Fury, I will bury my blade into...your...
If the House Durendaire Knights are KO'd
House Durendaire Knight A
For Ish...ga...ahhh...
House Durendaire Knight B
Ugh, not by a godsdamned heretic...
Start of cutscene. My glamours...dispelled...
Your plans lie in ruin, heretic. Choose your words wisely, for they will be your last.
<cough> <wheeze> Hah hah... You may not recall the many Ishgardians I have sentenced, but the families of the dead will never forget. Blood has been repaid with blood, and for that I am content.
My...my only regret is that you yet live...
But your end is nigh, foreigner. The dragons within the Stone Vigil will rend you asunder. And when you are dead, Whitebrim Front shall fall...
Defiant to the last. Leave the body for the crows─his ilk deserves naught better.
Forename, I must apologize for involving you in this sordid business. You should never have been asked to intervene in Ishgardian affairs of state.
Rest assured, I have not forgotten the matter which first brought you into our midst. It is past time that you were reunited with your airship.
But this is not the place to discuss such matters. Pray visit me at Whitebrim Front─and bring your associates.
End of cutscene.
Speaking with Alphinaud
Where have you been, Forename? ...Hm? The false inquisitor has been slain, has he? Yes, well, his was a tale always like to end in bloodshed.
Though you have overcome the latest in a long line of unfortunate impediments, I would ask you not to revel in your victory just yet.
We can celebrate once we have secured the Enterprise!
