Night Terrors is a world quest in The Blood of Dawnwalker that centers on a hidden well inside the Cathedral Complex. To finish it, you reach the western garden, open the well, drop in with Coen’s Shadowstep, and work through the cave below until you push aside a blocking rock and climb back out.
Quick answer: Get to the Cathedral Complex’s western garden, defeat the soldiers there, interact with the well to open it, and use Shadowstep to enter. Inspect the Thief’s body, clear the Kobolds inside the cave, push the rock blocking the passage, and exit to complete the quest.

Where Night Terrors takes place
The quest is tied to the Cathedral Complex, so you first need to reach Svartrau City Cathedral in the eastern part of the city. The objective sits in the western garden where the graves are, and the well there is the point that actually completes the quest.
How you get into the garden depends on the time of day. During the day, the Cathedral’s doors are unlocked, so you can walk straight through to reach the garden. At night, those routes change and you have to approach from a different direction.

As an alternative, you can climb the Cathedral Complex and use Coen’s Shadowstep ability to cross into the garden from above.

Open the well and clear the cave
| Source | Loot |
|---|---|
| Kobolds | Tainted Marrow, Kobold Bile, Denarius |
| Skeleton | Rushful Corruption Master Amulet |
The exit drops you right next to the grave you can inspect to find Mihai’s location, carrying you straight into the A Monk and a Saint objective.

Night Terrors rewards
Completing the quest grants XP and the Thief’s Note, on top of everything you pull from the Kobolds and the skeleton in the cave. Leaving through the passage is the clear sign the quest is done, since it ends the sequence and links you into A Monk and a Saint at the grave outside.
