The Flesh is Weak Walkthrough
Find traces of the ghost
In the shelter, inspect the following items:
- Bed next to the fire
- Table in the corner with the bloody knife sticking out of it
- Rope on the wooden barrel near the door
There are a couple of other items to interact with in the room, such as the rife and Jacob’s bible. However, they are unnecessary for the quest.
Find Benedict Stoughton
Exit the shelter. When you emerge, head left, pass the tree and squeeze between the opening under the fallen log. Follow the path until you reach the mist. Approach the ledge for some dialog between Red and Antea.
Now it’s time to investigate the quickmyst. When facing the ledge, head left and follow the path. When you reach the torch on the cliff, jump across then follow the path down.
Switch to Antea to see in the fog and follow the water. Jump over the broken bridge, then interact with the stalagmites that are emitting fog. Antea will clear them, causing enemies to spawn. Take them out, then interact with the swirls where the stalagmites were.
Afterward, interact with the circle to perform a ritual and select perform the Harkening Ritual to reveal the Echo.
Now, you’ll need to reach Ben’s body. Across from where Ben was pushed, you’ll find some yellow markings on the cliffs.
Head on over to them and climb down towards the water. At the bottom, follow the water to the left to find the body and interact with him.
Find the tie that binds the ghost
Return to Jacob’s shelter in search of the tie that binds the ghost. Once inside, examine the stew on table.
Next, interact with the circle near the bed and perform the Make-Manifest Ritual. Once Ben appears, speak with him, exhausting all his dialog options.
Bring closure
Head outside the shelter and speak with Jacob nearby. You’ll have to make a decision that will have consequences. You can blame Jacob or ascend or banish Benedict. Ascending or banishing Benedict will contribute to Antea’s Ascent, whereas blaming Jacob will contribute to Antea’s resurrection since a Resurrection Ritual will only work if the largest number of settlers are sacrificed. The choice you make will affect the oath that you take.
After you’ve made your choice, The Flesh is Weak haunting case will end.
