Sound of a Thousand Screams

Upon entering the House at the Edge of Time exterior, you'll witness Nyrissa tempting Linzi. Evindra will then appear, offering a Magic Lantern to dispel the pervasive mist and prevent unwanted teleportation. Exhaust Evindra's dialogue for lore.

Near the well, you'll find the merchant Issili selling top-tier gear.

To navigate the well, it's recommended to unequip the Magic Lantern before entering. This ensures you arrive on the First Floor. Once on the First Floor, re-equip the Magic Lantern to avoid further unintended teleportation.

On the First Floor, your primary objective is to find your lost companions. Their fate depends on the satisfactory completion of their personal quests, your alignment, and romantic relationships.

If a companion's quest was not completed satisfactorily, Anoriel Eight-Eyes may appear after witnessing some companion outcomes, offering to hire new characters for free.

To return to the exterior from the First Floor: Head northwest from your arrival room, then northeast, avoiding side rooms. At a hallway bend, turn northwest. Ensure the Magic Lantern is equipped to enter the larger northwestern room. If unequipped, you'll be teleported to Valerie's encounter room.

From the northwestern room, head southwest, sticking to the hallway and ignoring side chambers. Anoriel Eight-Eyes may appear where the hallway intersects the first northwestern room. They will speak briefly before heading outside.

Continue southwest to find a door leading back to the exterior, where Evindra, Issili, and potentially Anoriel await.

The order of rescuing companions is flexible. Ekundayo's encounter is noted as more difficult.
