Nikodim

There's several ways to unlock this quest, but the best one is to simply meet with Nikodim, located near the mill on the Ernesto's farm (point 10 on the map). This route is even more important, given the fact that thanks to this approach, a more "supreme" version of this quest will be activated. You will learn from Nikodim, that a valuable golden candle holder went missing from the farm, and that Nikodim himself is accused of stealing it. The man pleads you to clear his name, as well as suggests you to examine the wagon located near the entrance to the farm.

Ernesto

Before you depart to find the candle holder, it would be a good idea to speak with other characters present on the farm. Ernesto (point 10a on the map) is the owner of the farm. During the conversation you will learn that he is uncertain of Nikodim's fault in the crime. This character will also ask you to find his family heirloom.

Mira

Mira is Ernesto's maid and you should be able to meet her in the central part of the farm (point 10b on the map). During the conversation, Mira will suggest you an alternative way to complete this quest. The woman will ask the Nameless Hero to accuse Nikodim of the theft as soon as the player finds the candle holder. This will allow the maid to become the heir of Ernesto's farm - the current heir is Nikodim himself.

Note - focus on finding the lost candle holder. Accusing someone of the crime will come later, when you will get back with the treasure.

Note - Mira is one of the ability trainers. You can ask her for a paid training during your conversation.

Look around the Southern entrance to the farm, being near the place where you can find Ernesto - Ernestos Engraved Candle Holder - Side Quests - Calador - Risen 3: Titan Lords - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Look around the Southern entrance to the farm, being near the place where you can find Ernesto. The above screenshot shows the wagon you seek - right next to it you can find Suspicious Tracks. Examine the tracks and listen to the comment made by the Nameless Hero, from which you will learn to go to the West.

You must cross the cemetery and go to the North. - Ernestos Engraved Candle Holder - Side Quests - Calador - Risen 3: Titan Lords - Game Guide and Walkthrough
You must cross the cemetery and go to the North.

It's hard to get lost during this quest, as each interactive point is connected by a string of coins scattered around the area. Head East, and after getting to the cemetery, change your direction to the North. Cross the cemetery, and you should soon be arriving at the crossroads (point 10c on the map). Take care of the Black Ghouls in the area and go to the right branch of the crossroads, the one leading towards a river of lava.

Take care, as your party should soon be attacked by a Hellhound - Ernestos Engraved Candle Holder - Side Quests - Calador - Risen 3: Titan Lords - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Take care, as your party should soon be attacked by a Hellhound. Eliminate the beast and continue your march. Stop right at the place which can be seen on the above screenshot. It's worth to save your game now, as you can easily die here if you're not careful. Use your sprint to gain momentum and press the key / button responsible for jump at the right moment. It will allow the Nameless Hero to avoid contact with the lava. All you have to do now is to climb up the nearby shelves.

Try to weaken the golem when its occupied attacking your party member. - Ernestos Engraved Candle Holder - Side Quests - Calador - Risen 3: Titan Lords - Game Guide and Walkthrough
Try to weaken the golem when it's occupied attacking your party member.

Remain vigilant, because as soon as you get near the staircase, you will be attacked by a group of Menacing Goblins. By defeating all of them you will be given 100 Glory Points. A bigger challenge awaits you at the top of the staircase - you will have to face a Lava Golem. This foe deals massive amounts of damage, that's why it's even more important to avoid his attacks (look out for his ground slam attacks, for instance). If it's your first encounter with this type of a golem, you must know that he can protect himself from ranged attacks for a limited amount of time. You will get 400 Glory Points for defeating him.

Note - if you can't handle the golem no matter what, try to run past him, grab the artifact and run away from him as fast as possible.

The place you can find the Candle Holder at. - Ernestos Engraved Candle Holder - Side Quests - Calador - Risen 3: Titan Lords - Game Guide and Walkthrough
The place you can find the Candle Holder at.

The missing Engraved Candle Holder is located to the right of the stairs, through which you get to the upper floor, where you've fought the golem (point 10d on the map). After collecting the item (200 Glory Points) go to the West and find a lever, which blocks the exit from the "arena" (you can go back using the same route you've come here, naturally).

During the conversation with Ernesto, you will have to make your decision. - Ernestos Engraved Candle Holder - Side Quests - Calador - Risen 3: Titan Lords - Game Guide and Walkthrough
During the conversation with Ernesto, you will have to make your decision.

Go all the way back to the farm and speak with Ernesto (400 Glory Points). The quest can be finished in two ways:

  • If you want to be fair towards Nikodim, tell Ernesto the truth about the goblins who stole the candle holder (you will be given soul points for that). Afterwards, go back to Nikodim to receive an extra 50 gold.
  • If you want to please Mira, you will have to lie and tell that it was Nikodim who stole the candle holder (negative soul points). Additionally, you will get 150 gold from the maid and the possibility to start a side quest "Cold Nights".

Note - if you've chosen the first option, Mira will be mad at Nameless Hero and you will lose the ability to train from her. That's why it's crucial to train before making any decisions.

Rewards for completing the quest:

  • 400 Glory Points
  • 300 gold (only if you said the truth about the goblins)
  • 50 gold (only if you lied to please Mira)
  • Recipe for Gold Liquor
