An Unknown Voice is the first quest of Chapter 9: The Calling questline. It follows after having defeated Bastier and liberated Demeniss city in Traitor.

Description:
“Though your senses remain dull, you have regained consciousness thanks to the shais. An unfamiliar voice calls out during an untimely silence, inviting you to find it should you seek more power.”

Speak with the Witch

Return to the bamboo forest near Shipwreck Shore, where you met the two witches in Chapter 8.

They will take you away to a cave near the Crimson Wall in the north of Demeniss City. Enter the cave and exit to the other side.

Follow the path to the north, through a cave, where you will be attacked by bounty hunters. After the fight, look at the memory: Dead Tree here in the pond (lantern is glowing). Keep following the winding path to the north, where you will find your destination inside a cave – and an Abyss Nexus on top of the mountain.

Description:
“Inside the temple, you found a giant statue at the end of a long stairway. The golden surface, which should have been radiant, was losing its light from being corrupted.”

Purify the Golden Statues

The statues in the cave are covered in bismuth. To do this, pay close attention to the target X on the minimap. You need to hang onto the statue, enter focus, and then do the facepalm in the center of the statue’s chest.

Four stone tablets will be revealed at the base of the statues, and you must examine them. They will unlock four pieces of knowledge:

These will unlock four more Chapter 9 questlines and complete The Calling:

It all began in the ’80s when I was just 7 years old. Starting with basic arcade games, I soon delved into titles like Loom and Monkey Island by Lucasarts. Throughout the years, as I indulged in more and more games, I consistently sought clear guides to swiftly navigate my gameplay. Now, it’s my turn to contribute back to the community.
