Follow the spirit fires
Widulf, a priest of Kyne, proctors the Trial of Spirit. It apparently involves drinking a somewhat poisonous mead and then running around the island. Widulf assures me the poison will connect me with my inner spirit.


Quick Walkthrough[edit]

  1. Drink Widulf's mead.
  2. Follow the spirit fires around the island.
  3. Talk to Widulf.

Detailed Walkthrough[edit]

To start the quest, speak to Widulf in his tent. He greets you warmly.

"Ho there, friend. Welcome to my little shrine to Kyne.
I can sense a force, a spirit, radiating from you. You're here to take the Trial, right?"
Yes. What's involved?
"So glad you asked! In a word: poison. Well, poisoned mead. Well, over-fermented mead.
Here, just take this brew. It's the key to the door you're about to open."
Poisonous mead is a key. To a door?
"Yes! To your inner spirit. The brew enables your unleashed spirit to see fires, gifts from Kyne herself!
Follow the path of fire. But mind the scum weed; it'll slow you down."
If you say so, Widulf.
"Drink up, now. Outside the tent, if you don't mind. Don't want a mess if … Well, just drink it outside.
And remember: run really fast!"

You can ask him more questions.

Fast? Why did you mention I have to run the path quickly?
"Oh, no reason. Look, you seem very healthy. If you take too long I'm sure the mead will just wear off. And you'll have to come back and start again.
Pretty sure. Almost definitely sure. Yeah."
This all seems a bit strange. Ask you a few questions about this Trial?
"Oh, of course! If someone asked me to drink some kind of poisoned mead, I'd have questions too!"
Why is a priest of Kyne proctoring this Trial?
"Why wouldn't I? I love going out to these fests, and Vofknir always puts out a good spread. Nothing in Kyne's teaching prohibits strong drink!"
What are these spirit fires you mentioned?
"Well, I'll tell you. I've heard some of the scholars say they're naturally occurring. Some kind of vapor rises up from the ground and the lake. Something like that?
Me, I think they're gifts from Kyne herself!"
Why do I have to drink the mead?
"I'd have thought that was obvious. Without the heart-racing, vision-blurring effect of the mead, you wouldn't be able to see the fires.
You can't run the trial if you can't see the fires!"

You are prompted to drink the mead once you're outside the tent, but you can select it from your quest items and drink it in the tent. There are a series of blue, stationary fires that appear. You must walk into them, in order, before the mead wears off. They will lead you into the lake, where green patches will Tangle you, severely slowing your speed. You have two minutes and five seconds to complete the course. Widulf will be waiting for you at the final one.

Notes
* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
  • Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
  • Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
