The Ebon Pinacle is one of the first mandatory story missions of Episode 4.
Mission Summary[]
Oveus begrudgingly tasks Sang with finding a key to Rowgar's Palace.
Gameplay[]
Sjoerd's Woodlands[]
Enter the town to the right first to gather some supplies. Then head back, and follow the path to a cave. You'll then enter an area that is heavily guarded by Naaldir's forces. Deal with them, and continue on to the Ebon Pinnacle.
Ebon Pinnacle[]
Continue straight until you approach a big hole. Go to the right (although there's a hidden shortcut to the left, intended?). Continue the path forwards until you're outside with a wayfinder totem to the left. Jump across the lava onto some lava rocks on the left. Then swim underwater through the caves. Then surface at the other end. Watch out for a jumpscare. Continue to the path until you enter a big arena. Watch a volcano erupts. Go right, and wait for a lava rock to come by to jump across. Jump into the hole. Go straight, and climb up some walls. Follow the path, face a Troll, and go inside the Ice Castle, known as Svedr's Domicile.
Svedr's Domicile[]
Collect supplies in the beginning. When you're ready, cross the bridge to fight Svedr. She has two different phases. The first phase she just throws a bunch of ice projectiles at you. Once she goes down, her second phase begins. In her second phase, she is now red, and throw a bunch of fire projectiles at you, and is much more aggressive. In addition to that, the previously frozen troll is now free, and will attack you as well. My own strategy is to defeat the troll first so you can put your full focus on Svedr. Once Svedr falls once more, she will shatter and will leave her sword behind. Pick it up to end the mission.
Secrets[]
There are a total of 4 secrets in this mission.
Sjoerd's Woodlands[]
- After dealing with the Troll near the end, there are two flame towers that are connected via a short wall. Climb up the mountain where the towers are, go to the one on the left, and around the corner is Sang's mirror orb.
Ebon Pinnacle[]
- When entering outside (Where the wayfinder totem is). Jump onto the island to the right. You'll notice some AMC boxes across the lava. Jump onto them across the lava to get Sang's slot 4 weapon, as well some 40mm Grenades and VOG-25 Grenades.
- Go near the Volcano that erupted. Jump across the gap, then head right to find a Magic Upgrade Orb and a gold Amulet.
- When approaching the Ice Castle, go behind it to find a gold Amulet, as well as ammo for slot 5, and slot 0.
- Unmarked - When climbing up the walls after the yellow caves, there is a hole that contains a gold amulet and Purple Mana. Jump across to obtain these items.

When in the village in the beginning, you can talk to the farmer sitting on the fence. If you bring back at least 7 of his sheep back to his farm, he will award you with 2 Magic Upgrade Orbs.
