Quest Details

You don’t have far to travel for this quest. Head south a bit further and to the left to find the ‘Republican Army Encampment.’ Remember to swap over to your multi-target Eikonic Ability Set.

There, you’ll find a few Akashic enemies to defeat. The group consists of two Akashic Steeds and four Akashic Scimitar enemies.

After the battle has finished, follow the quest marker to the back of the village to find a “Dying Republican Soldier.” A short cutscene will take place before the quest is completed. The soldier will challenge Clive to a fight, and you’ll have two options available:

  • “He can barely stand.”
  • “Fine. If you insist.”
XXX

It does not matter which option you select. The only impact this decision has is on some of the dialogue between Clive and the soldier.
