Rykard and West Altus Tower
The last Manor reports, the fight with its lord, the farewells that follow, his rune at the Divine Tower, and the end of Patches' road.
Come back here once the capital and the Mountaintops are behind you, at about level 100 to 120. Bernahl's two targets and the third contract should both be done by now: the warning before the fight lists everything his death closes.

With the third contract reported, look in the drawing room before you take up Tanith's offer. If Diallos is still in his seat, talk to him until his lines repeat and rest at the Volcano Manor grace. Whether he leaves now or after the fight, the farewells later in this section send you to him.

Do not touch Patches at the castle
He lies hurt at the Shaded Castle, and any hit kills him there, whatever the damage. That ends his quest and loses Patches: Dancer's Castanets and Patches: Patches' Crouch, with its gesture. Keep your weapon down and only talk.
Patches: Dancer's CastanetsQuest stepMissablePoint of no return
- Location
- Altus Plateau · The Shaded Castle – Fast travel to the Castellan's Hall grace and walk back out of Elemer's hall onto the bridge of statues.

- Why you can lose it
- Any hit kills him here.
- Point of no return
- You hit Patches at the Shaded Castle: any hit kills him.
- Summary
- Giving them to Tanith does nothing, so the quest needs no trip to her. He has left the Manor because its lord is dead.
Patches: Patches' CrouchQuest stepMissablePoint of no return
- Location
- Limgrave · Murkwater Cave – Fast travel to the Murkwater Cave grace and walk to his old camp. Open the chest: he jumps down and fights, but block and do not hit back, and he soon stops and begs. Accept, and he teaches the gesture.
- Why you can lose it
- Killing him at the castle ends the quest before this step.
- Point of no return
- You hit Patches at the Shaded Castle: any hit kills him.
- Summary
- Back where it all began. If he is not there, rest and check that he has left the castle bridge.

- Limgrave · Murkwater Cave – His shop reopens after you rest. Buy what you still want, then hit him three times to anger him and finish the fight.
