Gate of Deep Sorrows Walkthrough
For this quest, you’ll need to unseal the path to Deep Sorrow. To do this, travel to the Crow’s Road Rooftops in Treviso Canals. You’ll come to this area after completing the Sea of Blood main quest.
When you arrive at the Beacon in The Cantori Diamond, head east crossing over the rafter then follow the walkway left. Pass the merchant then head through the first door on the left and go down a flight of stairs.
You’ll then go forward a little bit and take the first left to find a zipline. Flip the switch to activate it then ride it to the next building where you’ll reach the Crow’s Road Rooftops.
When you get off the zipline, head east and jump the small gap. Follow the walkway around heading through the building at the end. This will bring you to a rooftop with a giant bird statue. If this is your first time on the roof, there will be some enemies to take care of first before proceeding.
Once defeated, head up the stairs to the right of the statue, where you’ll find a Level 25 Blight Cyst.
Destroy it to reveal Desmal, Bloodbound to Elgar’nan. Engage in combat and defeat this fire-breathing demon!! Be warned that you’ll constantly get afflicted with bleeding and necrosis, making this fight even tougher.
If you are playing the warrior class, we highly recommend that you get The Hard Way unique axe from a Timelost Hoard in the Treviso Canals. This axe is a one-handed axe that will permanently reduce the target’s defense by 5 every time you hit it. When the enemy’s defense reaches 0, your attacks will be increased by 50%.
After you defeat the beast, collect the Champion Essence from its corpse. You’ll then need to bring this essence to the roots in the Converged City in the Crossroads.
