The Snake Nest Deal Walkthrough
For this quest, you’ll need to find her husband, Atticus who was last seen in the Snake Nest. Travel east through the Urthemiel Venue to the Snake Nest.
Inside, speak with the bartender, read the book on the bar and inspect the fireplace. Head outside and investigate the bag by the ladder.
Climb up the ladder then follow the blood trail to reach a body and inspect it. Continue following the blood trail left down the stairs into a bedroom. Inspect the journal on the desk to the left.
Afterwards, backtrack to the bartender and speak with her once more. She’ll give you a key to the storage door across the street. Make your way there then head inside.
Interact with the bookshelf to reveal a hidden room. In this room, pull the lever to cause an elevator to appear. Ride it down then jump into the pit, avoiding the spikes. Break the wall to continue farther in. Interact with the book under the hanging body to learn what happened.
To the left over the body, jump over the ledge and use the key to open the door. Interact with the cell in the room then interact with the body in the cell to find Atticus. Look to the right and break the planks guarding the wooden beam then knock it down. Grab the power crystal and place it in the pedestal in the sacrifice room.
Head back across the beam and grab the second power crystal. Bring this crystal with you through the portal and place it on the pedestal to form a bridge. Head across and interact with the prompt to the right to create a new portal that leads to the Catacombs.
Don’t take the portal. Instead, go to the left and ride the zipline down. Head up the stairs to the right and when you enter the room, take a left. Hit the barrel in the corner to blow out the wall, allowing you to pass through. You’ll then find yourself in the Catacombs, allowing you to leave.
Return to Sabina to tell her of her husband’s fate. Afterwards, the quest will complete.
