Learn how to complete the Trial of the Templar reputation quest in New World. Get tips on defeating Apostate Bremen Luca and ranking up your Covenant Faction.
Hey there! So you're looking to push your Covenant Faction rank up, huh? The 'Trial of the Templar' quest is your next big step after hitting that first 3000 Reputation cap. It can be a little confusing, but don't worry, I've got your back. Let's get you to Templar rank!
Walkthrough
- 1Reach the Reputation Cap: First things first, you'll need to earn Reputation by doing those Faction Quests. You'll likely hit the 3000 Reputation cap around levels 18-20. Don't worry if you can't rank up immediately; this is normal.
- 2Accept the Quest: Once you hit that 3000 cap and are at least Level 24, you'll find a new quest in your Journal called 'Trial of the Templar'. Head over to Brightwood. You won't be able to progress the quest until you're Level 24, so make sure you've hit that milestone. Find Beatris Roose in Brightwood Hamlet to officially start this quest.
- 3Head to Marcel's Hamlet: After accepting the quest from Beatris, your next destination is Marcel's Hamlet. It's located southwest of Brightwood. Look around the houses there; you'll find a Stockpile and, crucially, a note called 'The Journal of Bremen Luca' lying nearby.
- 4Find and Defeat Apostate Bremen Luca: This is the main challenge. You need to wait for Apostate Bremen Luca to spawn right in front of the Stockpile. He's a tougher version of the Initiates you've probably seen around. He hits a bit harder, so make sure you're prepared. The key here is to guard when he attacks. If you do that, taking him down at levels 24-25 should be pretty manageable.
- 5Return to Beatris Roose: Once you've defeated Bremen Luca, head back to Beatris Roose in Brightwood Hamlet. Turn in the quest, and congratulations! You'll officially rank up to Templar.
- Ranking up to Templar increases your Reputation cap to 11,000.
- You'll unlock the 'Templar' tab in the Faction shop, where you can buy better gear and items using your Faction Tokens.
Tips
- Don't stress if you hit the 3000 cap before Level 24. Just keep doing Faction Quests for Tokens and Influence until you level up.
- Make sure you have your block/guard ability ready when fighting Bremen Luca. It makes a huge difference!
- If you're struggling, consider bringing a friend or checking if any other players are around Marcel's Hamlet who might also be on this quest.
