Priory of the Nine (Quest)

Once the Priory of the Nine is reached, the protagonist will open the stairs to the basement by placing Sir Amiel's Ring into the mural on the floor, which slopes downwards to reveal a flight of stairs. Continuing down to the Priory basement, and then even farther into the Undercroft, the protagonist finds a large crypt, with the Cuirass of the Crusader just across from him on a stand. As the protagonist approaches, a ghost steps out and angrily addresses the protagonist. And so, a challenge is posed: The player must defeat all eight dead Knights in order to prove himself worthy to claim the Cuirass, or die in the dark Undercroft of the Priory.

The ghosts take as much damage as a regular person, and are essential characters and this cannot die, only be knocked down. The Knights step into the ring one by one, and return to the edge after they have revived. Lastly, the protagonist must defeat Sir Amiel, the ghost who addressed the protagonist in front of the cuirass. Once he is defeated, the Knights yield, and you may take the Cuirass of the Crusader from the stand.

From this point, the Quest becomes free form, in a sense. The protagonist may go around the ring of Knights and question them about the artifacts and where they may be located. There is no specific order to the gathering of these items besides reaching the Mace of the Crusader as that requires the Boots of the Crusader.

The next quests are Nature's Fury (then Path of the Righteous, Stendarr's Mercy, and Wisdom of the Ages.
