Last update: 11 May 2016

Riverspring Castle

Point 1

Elyana is waiting in the throne room. Tell her all what you've known about Gawen and Valarr's participation in the crime. Elyana won't be able to help you and send you to the Maester Harwyn. Elyana leaves the throne room and go out on the courtyard. She is bothered about something, what begins the secondary quest Rings and Chains. To continue it, meet Elyana on the courtyard. This quest may be done only in this chapter.

Point 2

Harwyn you can find in dining room. Tell him about Valarr's treachery and Gawen's fate.

Point 3

Harwyn will tell you about disinherit of Gawen. During the story you'll be your father for a while. Playing as a Raynald go to his chamber on the first floor.

Point 4

After regaining control over Alester, search the father's office. What should interest you is a hidden mechanism on wall behind the desk.

Using it reveals hidden doors and scroll about how to open it. You'll need 7 keys hidden in the castle.

Point 5

First key (Father's Key) is in the father's office. Use R'hllor's vision to find a secret room.

Point 6

Warrior's Key is hanged on the statue of... warrior, before the throne room.

Point 7

Stranger's Key lies on the desk in first bedroom on the first floor.

Point 8

Maiden's Key is hanged by the bed in the next room on the west.

Point 9

In the third room, on the wall, the Mother's Key is hanging.

Point 10

Smith's Key is in the fireplace in Measter's Harwynn room, on the ground floor.

Point 11

Last key, the Crone's Key is behind the throne.

Point 12

With all keys you can open the secret door in your father's office and go to the tunnels, looking for the documents.

Point 13

There is a one more way to open the hidden doors. You have to find your father's medallion which is hidden in the crypt.

When you get keys from Hawryn you'll be able to go there behind the throne room.

Go downstairs until you get on the crossroads. Turn left.

Follow the sarcophaguses and you get to end of corridor. You can see a firing candles from far away.

Open the sarcophagus and pick up the medallion which is the superior key to the hidden doors. Alester won't feel great about his act, but he receives new trait: Morbid Curiosity (Chance of loot +2%).

Riverspring Tunnels

Point 1

In tunnel you solve few minor riddles, so no fight and a single man to talk.

Point 2

First puzzle waits just behind the corner. Go to the mechanism on the right, by the closed doors, and answer like that:

• Whitewashed
• Broken
• On his sigil

Point 3

Wandering through the next tunnel, take a look on mosaics on walls - they are hints to the next riddle.

Point 4

You get to the chamber in which you find seven rotate stones. On every of them you have to choose the proper symbol.

On mosaics in the corridor every symbol was shown in the particular number. This number means on which podest (from left) you should place it.

After placing all of them, pull the lever in the middle of room, and the hidden doors to the secret group, Shadow Council, chamber.

Point 5

One of the documents you're looking for is between the scrolls on the stand on the left.

Point 6

Another scroll lies on the desk in the room on the west. It's the last piece of the puzzle.

In the same place you find a document about activity of someone called The Collector who is draining Riverspring. Picking up this document you begin the secondary quest (Avenge Riverspring) which you can complete between 8th and 13th chapter.

Point 7

After collecting all documents you can move to the Castlewood. Visit the market square to sell some useless things you have.

When you are ready, meet with Victor in the docks and he'll take you to the Lord's Harlton mansion.

Castlewood

Point 1

For now, there is nothing to do in Castlewood besides finding Harlton. Go straight to the throne room.

Point 2

Before you speak with Harlton listen to his conversation with other man - they're talking about some powerful and well protected weapon.

Show what you have found to Harlton and he'll tell you few interesting facts about Jeyna.
