Apologies if this isn’t the right forum, I’m kinda taking a shot in the dark. The royal chapel is a bit of an odd place with quest pickups and the like, but without any direct quests relating to it. I notice in particular that there are a few even stranger things about the second floor. Upon entering, you get a status called ‘Voices’ with the description ‘Voices in your head make you thirsty.’ If you kill a few monsters you get a ‘Flask of the King’s Voice,’ which supposedly lets you hear King Zachariel’s voice. Using it gives you the status ‘Voices: Voices of the King’ with the description ‘Secret codes come across your mind’ and it lasts for 60 seconds. When I used it earlier today, I saw a sequence of numbers appear on my screen (8916) but it hasn’t happened again since.
So that’s one weird thing. The other is the Abandoned Altar. When you interact with it normally, nothing happens. If you kill an Earth Apparition, though, you get the ‘Contribution’ status, with the description ‘Contributed to purifying the area. Use the abandoned altar!’ Using the altar then will give you the status ‘Steps of the Soul’ with the description ‘Became as light as the soul through the power of the altar! You can move faster.’ You can then move at maybe 3-4 times your regular speed, but it only lasts for 6 seconds. I notice there’s also a raised part of the room you can’t reach in the Northeast corner. I thought that maybe the speed buff would let you jump the gap in the room to reach it, but you can’t get there in only six seconds.
So that’s what I’ve seen so far of the second floor. Does anyone know anything about it? Or have any theories what all these little things are supposed to do/mean? Or am I just bugged and missed a quest(s) relating to all this?
