Arbalah in his house.
When spoke too Arbalah will reveal that Brehgo and his friend Fahrkus tricked him into letting them into his home by asking for alms. Once inside they stole his Sacred Artifact, murdered his family and left him for dead. In anger and grief he cursed them to never leave this plane of existence. If asked about Brehgo death he will claim that it wasn't his curse but more likely the "curse of greed".
He will then ask to retrive the stolen Sacred Artifact.
Return to Brehgo's spirit in the Crash Site Cave and demand that he tell you where Fahrkus is. Trick him into thinking Arbalah will release the curse if he helps you.

- Steal it from Fahrkus
- Kill Fahrkus and loot it

You will receive 1700 XP and +10 Alignment.
Combined path[]
First speak with Arbalah and agree to retrieve the Sacred Artifact. After tricking Brehgo into marking Fahrkus location, don't reveal to him that it was a lie because it will botch the quest.
Retrive the Sacred Artifact and return it to Arbalah to get his quest rewards, then kill him. you can loot the Artifact from his corpse, however it does not serve any real purpose.
Head back to the Crash Site Cave and tell Brehgo that the deed is done, if you tell him that you returned the Artifact the quest will be botched.
Combined you will receive 3400 XP and keep Arbalah's blessing thanks to a bug.
Notes[]
- Charles Brehgo is one of the few dead NPC that can be resurrected, he will call the player a fool and he is supposed attack them but the interaction is bugged and he will just use the same dialogue of his spirit form.
- You can inform Charles Brehgo that you returned the Sacred Artifact and that Arbalah never intended to release him, botching his quest and leaving him as a cursed spirit.
- After you kill Arbalah, you can use Conjure Spirit to summon back Charles Brehgo too torment him.
- If you kill Simon Fahrkus his spirit will be spontaneously be conjured, you can tell him that he is dead and cursed forever. You can cast Conjure Spirit to summon him again and repeat the dialogue, even if Arbalah is dead.
Bugs[]
- Killing Arbalah is supposed to remove his blessing but the bless number was written incorrectly in the script.
