House of the Soulless Quest Overview

• Quest Type: World Quest (part of Hesperides of Love and Hate)
• Objective: Recover the first Ikhor fragment
• Key Location: House of Hesperides mansion
• Prerequisites: Progress through the Hesperides of Love and Hate questline

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Reaching the Guarded Room

1. Teleport to the Waypoint at the entrance of the House of Hesperides mansion.
2. Use the stairs to the left and immediately enter the door on the left.
3. Since the room on the right is guarded, go to the opposite side and walk up the stairs on the left. This leads to an open area.
4. Follow the path to the right until you see a way down. Glide down and enter the room that was guarded from the other side.
5. Investigate the room until a cat appears. The feline will lead you to a vase. Check the vase to open a secret room containing a puzzle.

Solving the Secret Room Puzzle

The puzzle requires you to place statues so their shadows block the white sections of the paintings on the wall.

1. Remove the statue that is already in the room.
2. Get the Temporary Blueprint of Snegurochka Statue I from the corner of the room.
3. Place the statue in the following slots: 1 (top-left) and 5 (center-middle).
4. The cat will appear again and trigger a mechanism on a painting, revealing another room.
5. Inside the new room, collect the Temporary Blueprint of Snegurochka Statue II, a Remarkable Chest, and a Collectible Painting.
6. Place the new statue in slot 9 (bottom-right) to cast the shadow of the sword on two paintings.

Completing the Quest

Solving the puzzle reveals a path to a secret cellar. Head down the cellar to recover the first Ikhor fragment. There is also a Precious Chest to claim. This completes the House of the Soulless quest and progresses the Procrustes' Iron Bed quest.

Tips and Troubleshooting

• If the cat doesn't appear, make sure you have investigated all objects in the initial room.
• The statue placement is precise; ensure the shadows align with the white sections of the paintings.
• The puzzle is not time-gated, so take your time to position the statues correctly.
