How to Start A Shroud Over the Light
When the dragon attacked, we chose to go to Treviso instead of Minrathous.
To begin A Shroud Over the Light quest, return to Dock Town after the dragon attack and enter the Shadow Dragon’s hideout to be attacked by the Unstoppable Executioner. After you defeat it, the quest will begin.
A Shroud Over the Light Walkthrough
For this quest, you must investigate the disappearance of the Shadow Dragons. Exit the safehouse into The Pawn Shop. Read the scrolls on the ground then exit the building and head northeast to the market. When you arrive in Urthemiel Venue, destroy the pots on the far eastern side of the area then read the letter underneath.
Climb up the nearby ladder then head east into the Snake Nest. Pass through this area to the Central Market then take the elevator down to the Smuggler’s Docks. Once in the docks, defeat the Venatori in the northern part of this area. Afterwards, investigate the corpses.
Next, speak with the informant who appears. Following his information, travel to the far southwestern part of Dock Town. When you arrive in the Wharf Crossing North, enemies will appear. Take them out then destroy the red crystals for the red barrier.
More enemies will spawn so clear them out, too! After the barrier drops, investigate the bodies inside. Afterwards, the quest will complete. Because the Venatori now hunt them, many Shadow Dragons and their allies are in hiding.
