Sacrament (Quest) | No Rest For The Wicked Wiki

Sacrament is a Quest in No Rest for the Wicked. This quest begins after the ship that you're traveling on gets attacked by the Risen. The waves will cause the ship to crash onto the high rocks and sweep you into The Shallows. You'll find the ship's captain, Captain Talvic, dying due to the course of events, expressing his regret about accepting the request to bring you to Isola Sacra. He'll warn you that the road to Sacrament is crawling with more of the Risen. Determined to see your tasks through, you'll journey through the Torn and Risen-infested areas to get to the city.

 

The ship's captain told us to try and get to the city of Sacrament. But he warned that more of the raiders who attacked our ship may lurk up ahead.

 

How to Unlock Sacrament Quest in No Rest for the Wicked

This quest is unlocked after finishing the Prologue on Captain Talvic's ship, and then speaking to the dying captain in The Shallows. See Sacrament on the [No Rest for the Wicked Map].

No Rest for the Wicked Sacrament Quest Walkthrough

Head to Sacrament

After the ship is wrecked ashore, you'll have full control of your character again. Make sure to break any breakable objects here at the beach for any loot. You'll notice that your Cerim Armor has been reduced to rags so you'll need new Equipment if you want to survive the way to Sacrament. There'll be some Horshecrabs to slay nearby as well if you want some ingredients or just want to get some practice in. To formally start this first Main Quest, head to the west and speak to Captain Talvic lying on the ground.

Head up the path to the right of the captain's body for some loot and more breakable objects. If you keep heading north you'll reach a sort of swampy area with a canal. You can loot the place but you won't be able to progress from there for now. Go back and then cross the bridge to the left of the dead captain. You'll eventually come across your first Fire Pit, which are spots where you can cook some Crafting Ingredients into Consumables. Be sure to loot the chest beside it.

You can head west and south to loot the rest of the beach but this is pretty much the western edge of the map. There's an enemy you can sneak behind out here and kill him one on-hit if you're successful. If you manage to get a Fishing Rod from the loot so far, you can use it to fish here if you want. If you head up you'll spot a tower and a chest on the wooden planks. You can enter the ruined tower by circling around until you get to the opening.

Inside, you'll find your first Whisper, which is this game's version of a checkpoint. From here, you can climb the ladders up to the top. Climb up the lower left part of the tower through the outer rim and then cross the wooden plank to reach the item orb there. Head back down and head west. You can jump the gap here for a chest. There'll be an enemy guarding it though, so be ready. This fight can be particularly difficult early on due to the narrow space. When you're done, head all the way down the tower. If you head east from here you'll find a tree that's knocked down. You can use it to get to a rock formation that you can climb for a chest.

Head back to the Fire Pit and head directly west this time to find a torch barely lighting up a path made by wooden planks. Follow it and cross the narrow plank to get to another chest. Jump down to the water and circle back around. This time as you're balancing through the narrow wooden plank, jump to the northeast into a crevice containing another chest.

Head back to the Fire Pit again. To the right, you'll see a hole in the wall. Approach it but continue up a wooden path to the east and loot what you can up there. Climb the vines to the top of the tower for a chest. You can sneak behind the enemy peering out here like you did a while ago. After this, you can replenish your health at the Whisper or cook at the Fire Pit. When you're ready, head through the hole in the wall to the right of the Fire Pit to enter Mariner's Keep.

You'll immediately run into another enemy. If you head southwest you'll find another one guarding a chest. Ignore the large staircase to the northeast first and head to the northwest to find a smaller one. Head up to find another enemy. Head through the opening to the northwest to find yet another one. Head down the ladder by the spiral staircase. You can kick down this next ladder for a shortcut near the Fire Pit at The Shallows. The room here will have another chest as well as a Journal you can read.

Head back up the ladder and proceed through the spiral staircase now. There's an opening to your left if you want to get an item orb outside. Head up the ladder at the end of the staircase to progress. The door at the end of the stairs to your left can't be opened right now. Watch out for the enemy here that will shoot arrows at you on sight. Head northeast now to continue. You'll find yourself crossing another plank. Once across, you can explore the area to the left first by climbing up. When you're done, head back and down down the ladder to a Whisper where you can replenish your health.

If you head west past the ladder you'll find some vines to climb down. An enemy will start tossing flaming projectiles at you here on sight so be careful. At the northern side of this room, you'll find an opening containing a chest you could loot. If you head south and drop down, you'll find yourself in the previous area with the large staircase. You'll face some enemies when you head east. After you dispatch them and loot the area, hear up north and then proceed east past the two barricades to find a large pyre.

This area is quite large so feel free to slay all the enemies here and loot what you can find. To get to the higher on the north side of the area, head up the stairs back to the Whisper and then drop to the northeast. Be careful of another projectile thrower to the east though. At the tower, you can head out the opening to the north for a chest on a wooden ledge. If you head down you'll find a lever that opens the large gate below you but you'll find that it's been sabotaged.

 

Find a Way to Open the Gate

Head back down and head to the door found south of the big pyre. You'll hear the sound of some of the Risen threatening and roughing someone up for something. Unfortunately, the door is locked. Head to the east and defeat the enemies there. Once you've dispatched them, head south at the gate to find the Mess Hall Key on the body of a dead soldier. Head back to the door now and unlock it. You'll have to defeat all three of these chumps to speak to the guy they were beating up. Don't worry if you die, you'll just get sent back to the Whisper and try again. However, do try to take one down with you as it'll make your next try a lot easier. Once you've dispatched them, you can read the Journal on the table and then speak to Filmore.

It seems he was the one who sabotaged the gate's lever in order to stop the Risen from getting to Sacrament. However, it seems he trapped himself out of the city in the process as well. He'll offer his services to repair your gear whenever you need it. You can also buy some wares from him if you need them. He'll give you the Gate Lever Handle which you can now use on the lever to raise the gate and get to the city. You can use the furnace-looking object to his right as a Fire Pit if you need to craft any Consumables.

If you head directly south of this Fire Pit, you can drop down and mine some ores if you have a Pickaxe. South of the table near Filmore, you can go up the stairs to loot some chests, guarded by another projectile-thrower. Feel free to climb the brick walls around the area if you want to loot any item orbs on a higher level. Right beside the Fire Pit, you can find a ladder to climb. At the top, jump to the southwest and then follow the path created by the narrow planks to get to a chest. Head back to the Whisper to replenish your health and use the Fire Pit as needed. When you're ready, head to the lever you found which you can now use with the Gate Lever Handle to raise the gate and proceed onward.

 

Head Through the Orban Glades

Head past the gate into another enemy encounter. When you get to the edge of the path you'll see a wooden bridge that can only be lowered from the other side. Head up north instead and use the elevator to head to a lower level. If you head north, you'll find a chest on some rafters. If you go down the ladder, you'll be able to explore the watery areas, but be careful of the Nith enemies here who might be much quicker than you're used to. The two on the islet to the west will be guarding a chest. If you head further west you'll find another chest on a floating rock formation. Feel free to loot the area and use your Tools to gather materials.

When you're ready, head back up the ladder and back to the elevator. Head south this time to immediately find another chest. Drop down and then climb the ladder and then the vines up to the bridge you couldn't lower from this side. Head back to the elevator and this time ride it upward. Be ready to fight a few enemies when you land. Head up the inclined board and then jump across to the other side, making sure to time it so you don't get hit by the crossbow-wielder. Jump down to the ledge past him to find a Fire Pit, where Lara and Reed are resting.

They'll be understandably wary of you at first but will quickly figure out that you're not going to hurt them. They'll warn you of a monster that stands in the way of anyone wishing to reach Sacrament. Use the Fire Pit as necessary and then head up the path directly east of the Fire Pit. Climb the vines and proceed to cross the wooden bridge to the east. There'll be a Risen there you can lure back to stable ground to slay. Across the bridge, you'll find another Risen guarding a chest. Continue along the path up to fight a Nith. Keep heading west to fight another Nith guarding a chest near the cliff.

When you're down, head all the way back to the Fire Pit and proceed south. You'll find yourself on the other side of the bridge. You can now lower it to make a shortcut through for next time. You can also use it now to get to Filmore for anything you need to buy from him, or if you need to repair your gear. If you look a bit to the right of the bridge you'll find a ladder that's easy to miss. If you climb down this ladder, you can get to Iona's Cavern. You can explore and loot the area, as well as complete the Quest, The Potion Seller. Neither of these are required to reach Sacrament, but completing the quest will unlock Markos as a Merchant in Sacrament. He specializes in potions and other concoctions.

If you head east from the bridge, you'll officially find yourself in the Orban Glades and encounter a Whisper shortly. If you head north, you can find a wooden fence that you can break down. The enemies in this area are fairly difficult so be careful. A particularly strong enemy is waiting in the lower level if you follow the path to the right, guarding a chest and Fire Pit you can use. If you head up the path to the west and climb the ledges, you'll find an opening you can enter. 

Head down the ladder here to another Fire Pit you can use if you need it. Dispatch the enemy here and open the chest up north. Head out the opening to the southwest and then keep west for now to reach a chest past some narrow planks. Head down the path right before the planks to reach another Whisper. There's a ladder you can kick down to the south that'll lead to another chest. Head west to fight a Nith. The large door behind him can't be opened for now. You'll find a lowered plank to the south that you can use to get to a lower level. Follow the path around the room and then jump to the north for a chest. and then turn immediately toward the north to fight another Nith protecting a ladder. You'll find another chest if you climb down. The opening to the northwest leads to another chest down at the beach, guarded by more enemies. There's another chest to the far west of the area floating near the shore. Finally, there's another chest on an islet to the north guarded by another particularly strong enemy.

If you head down you'll find a fence you can cross to another area. You'll be able to find three chests here on three different islets. Once you've looted as much as you want, head to the eastern edge of this area. climb the ladder back up, and head back to the Whisper. Head back up some more and proceed south to get to the first Whisper near the Fire Pit where you met Lara and Reed. As you head east, the path will branch to the southwest. Follow it and climb the vines to some enemies. Follow the path made by wooden planks to get to a chest guarded by another Risen. Cross the fallen tree to the southeast to reach a beautiful garden of sorts, and then keep going to the northeast for another chest.

Drop down to the northeast to get back on the previous path. Follow it to the east this time and up to an opening. At this point, you can head back to a Whisper or a Fire Pit to prepare yourself. When you're ready, head through the opening to watch a cutscene.

 

Defeat the Boss: Warrick the Torn

As this is your first Boss of the game, it won't be as difficult as the rest and he'll have a limited moveset. He will often just charge at you and swing his blade down, which you'll have more than enough time once you see it coming. He can also come at you while spinning his blade around him, which you'll have to dodge at the perfect time to avoid. The rest of his attacks can be devastating but will all have a window of opportunity to dodge and counterattack. Just be sure that his combo chain is finished before you try to deal some damage back. Like most Souls-like Bosses, be patient and get some hits in when you can, and you'll eventually beat the Torn beast.

Enter Sacrament

After you defeat him, proceed forward to the bridge for a scene. The bridge will be lowered as the townspeople see the beast fall. Winnick and Ellsworth will come greet you, with some understandable hostility at first from the former. For the most part, you'll be welcomed by the Governor as he recognizes you as a Cerim. They'll open their gates to allow you to enter.

 

Head to the Rookery

He'll bid you head to the Rookery to speak to The Watcher. At this point, you're free to explore Sacrament and speak to all the NPCs. You can even enter the door behind Winnick and Ellsworth to get to Caroline and start, and complete, the Side Quest, The Innkeeper's Husband. To complete this Main Quest, however, you want to get to the Rookery. From where Ellsworth and Winnick are standing, head down the stairs to their left. Head down the stairs to the right afterward and then head up the stairs past Mira and Meri to find the city's Whisper. Head up the stairs directly north of the Whisper, but make sure to speak to Elsa first nearby.

When you reach the town square, keep going directly north and head up the long staircase there, marked by a lamppost. At the top, head east and then climb another staircase up. When you reach the next area, head to the southwest and cross the bridge to finally make it to the Rookery. Inside, Roan will greet you and a cutscene will ensue. The Madrigal will arrive, claiming that they've come to cleanse the island of the Pestilence. They've killed any Risen they've found along the way, save for Odessa, the one that led the attack on your ship, who is also apparently Ellsworth's own daughter. Roan will bid you rest on a temporary bed. When you wake up the next morning, the quest will be complete.
