Once you’ve defeated Pieta, She of Blessed Renewal and reached Skyrest inLords Of The Fallen, you’ll encounter several NPCs in the area, including Stomund, Captain of the Fidelis. You can find Stomund near the Vestige, and when you first talk to him, he acts as a merchant.

Although Stomund doesn’t initially mention needing assistance or anything of the sort, at some point in the game, you’ll be surprised to find that he has left his location and left a note behind. This is the starting point of his questline.

Acquire Stomund’s Note And The Pilgrim’s Perch Key

Naturally, you should begin Stomund’s quest byspeaking to him when you arrive at Skyrest. During your first encounter, he’ll engage in dialogue with you, but if you interact with him, you will be able to browse theitems he has for sale.

At some point in the game, when you return to his usual location, you won’t find Stomund there anymore. Instead,there will be a lootable item just to the right of where he was standing. When you pick it up, you’ll obtainStomund’s Noteandthe Pilgrim’s Perch Key.

Whichever you do first,make sure to revisit Skyrestand interact with the loot.

Some have suggested that picking up the Rune of Adyr might prevent you from progressing through Stomund’s quest. However, in our case, this didn’t happen, and we were able to continue with his quest without any issues.

Just to stay on the safe side, you might want to avoid picking up the rune just to ensure the quest’s progress remains uninterrupted.

Inside this room,head to the leftand take the entrance leading to a set of stairs.Climb to the upper floorand thenhead right.

As you progress, you’ll come acrossan entrance leading to an open area outside the building. Here,enter Umbral realmif you’re not already in it andproceed to the gazebo right in front of you.

Performingthis action will trigger an enemy to appear behind you, so be prepared to defeat it. Afterward,the enemy will drop a Tattered Banner.

Once you’ve collected the two banners,it’s important not to progress further in the game and reach the Empyrean, asdoing so will ruin the entire quest.

Completing Stomund Quest

Before handing over the banners to Stomund,be sure to purchase everything you need from him.This will be your final opportunityto acquire any items he has for sale.

Once you’ve secured the two banners,return to Stomundat his last known location andhand over the banners to him. Make sure to exhaust all of his dialogue during this interaction.

After doing so, proceed with the game and reach the next location,the Empyrean/Vestige of Iorelo the Cursed Knight.

Upon exiting the Vestige room and heading straight ahead,just before the last set of stairs to the right, you’ll come acrossa loot in a body impaled with a banner. Sadly, this is Stomund, and his quest doesn’t have a happy ending.

As a reward for your efforts, the loot contains the following items:
