A Monk and a Saint sends you into The Cathedral Complex in Svartrau City to open St. Mihai’s Crypt and claim the weapon hidden with him. The lock on this quest is knowledge. Coen cannot pick out the right grave until he knows what the St. Mihai Symbol looks like, so the whole task splits into two jobs. First you learn the symbol, then you match it to a grave in the western graveyard and free Mihai.
Quick answer: Learn the St. Mihai Symbol (read The Annals of Svartrau Cathedral in the library, read the Thief’s Note during Night Terrors, or inspect the ceiling murals), then go to the western graveyard, start from the bottom right grave, move one grave to the left, clean off the leaves, and drop in to reach the Crypt. Inspect the broken brick inside to fight Mihai.
Three ways to learn the St. Mihai Symbol
You cannot guess the correct grave in this quest, so you have to identify the symbol first. Any one of the options below teaches Coen the marking. Pick whichever is fastest for where you are in the story, since they all lead to the same result.
| Method | Where | Time cost |
|---|---|---|
| Read The Annals of Svartrau Cathedral | Top floor of The Cathedral Complex library, next to the cathedral | 1 hour |
| Read the Thief’s Note | On the thief’s body inside the well, during the Night Terrors quest | 1 hour |
| Inspect the ceiling murals | Inside The Cathedral Complex | 0 hours |
The Annals confirm that Mihai was buried beneath the cathedral. The Thief’s Note comes from the corpse you inspect after sliding down the covered well, and it explains that someone already tried to reach the crypt but hit a wall too thick to break. The murals are the quickest route because they cost no in-game time.
Note: The Night Terrors well passage also empties out right next to the graves, so if you clear that quest you arrive at the graveyard already knowing the symbol.
Find Albertus’ Crypt in the western graveyard
With the symbol known, head to the western part of The Cathedral Complex where the graves sit. This is the same courtyard used for Night Terrors, so the approach may already be open to you.
Free Mihai and win the boss fight
After the fight, Mihai reveals that he was betrayed by Tobias and that the Kohboldin took the other half of his blade, the Sword of St. Mihai. He asks you to recover and reforge it, and points you toward The Augurs for help as a Dawnwalker. Before you leave, use Focus Mode to loot his cell and grab Mihai’s Journal, which sets up the reforge path.
