Ruined Abbey
Angelo provides the Templar's Ring so the party can unlock this subterranean passage and bypass the guarded bridge leading to Abbot Francisco's residence. Players must navigate through the monster-filled crypts and muddy corridors to reach the exit ladder on the opposite end. Confronting and defeating the lingering spirit at the end clears the way directly into the Abbot's quarters.
