Walkthrough & Notes

Clear through the first areas, which are filled with numerous pulls of elite wights. You will come across two chests. Activate both and a passage will open, with a "strange voice" beckoning you. Head down the passage and you will encounter the Elite Master Gaunt-lord Goeolgúr with massive morale, guarding a chest that contains Laerdan's breastplate. As his morale falters, he will summon elite wights to aid him. Focus on taking down the wights when they spawn, but also keep some steady damage on the Gaunt-lord, since he sometimes heals himself (not interruptible) by draining the morale of his allies. If his morale rises back above one of the summoning points and then drops below it again, he will summon more adds, so it is imperative that he does not manage to do so. Do not pull him out of the room either, or he will reset. This quest can be repeated by entering Dolendath again but there is no rewards whatsoever.
