The Ritual

Meet the Monk at the Cave

If you've impressed Abbot, he'll inform you of a task he has in mind: escorting a monk into the cave. Follow the glowing path to find her resting on top of a stone wall. After some formalities, head down the stairs and into the cave.

Just follow the glowing trail to find the central chamber. Once there, you'll have to proceed through three doors to grab some water, but only one can be activated at a time, which Hannah will take care of for you. Continue through the first door to find two switches at the end--stand on the right one while Hannah takes the left, then wait here until she fills her jar with the flowing water. Now before returning to the central chamber, look for a Silver Key just behind the platform you're on.

Lightning and crossbow--that's what it's all about.

As you try and work your way back to the central chamber, several creatures called "Hollow Men" will appear. Even worse, they'll hell bent on ignoring you and will go straight for Hannah, so you'll have to take them down quick. Because the path is thin, using Shock can stop them all in their track as they attempt to run by--slash them while they're stunned, then quickly shock them again. Rinse and repeat until they're all gone, then return to the Central Chamber.

Once back in the Central Chamber, Hannah will open the second door. Climb the stairs to the switch and get ready to mount a defense from here--try using your projectile shock to stun the enemies, then follow-up with a crossbow. It's easier than it seems, just make sure you keep the enemies away from her. Once done, return to the chamber.

Back in the main chamber, Hannah will open the third and final door. Head inside, but stay close to her, as a swarm of Hollow Men are about to attack. An easy way to tackle them is to simply let them group around you and Hannah, then shock them relentlessly--they won't be able to do anything, and the magic attack will eventually kill them. However, a Headless Hollowman will soon appear, who's significantly more powerful than the rest. Keep your distance (otherwise he'll nail you with a shock power of his own) and either use your projectile magic (like Shock) or weapons (such as the crossbow to do him in.

With the Hollowmen taken care of, continue into the next room and step on the switch to activate a story sequence. Follow Hannah through the tunnel--your mission here is done.
