The Undertaker's Remembrance in Nightreign is definitely the easier of the two DLC quests, though that doesn't mean it's easy. The Undertaker Remembrance questline is all about the temptation of corruption, her relationship to another character, and also about licking walls, oddly enough. To help you make it through her questline and get all the rewards, our walkthrough for the Undertaker Remembrance will hammer out all the essential details, step-by-step.

The Remembrance for the Nightreign Undertaker is a little shorter than the Remembrances for most other characters, especially as they don't all require specific steps or objectives. Here's a basic step-by-step walkthrough for all six phases before we go into more detail:

  • Remembrance Chapter 1: Unlocked by default when you unlock the Undertaker and Scholar in Nightreign
  • Remembrance Chapter 2: Unlocked after you take the Undertaker into an expedition (you're not required to successfully complete it)
  • Remembrance Chapter 3: Unlocked when you successfully complete any expedition while playing as the Undertaker.
  • Remembrance Chapter 4: Unlocked when you successfully complete the new quest in Chapter 3, which is a fight against all the other Nightreign characters, and then some strange moments where you pray and lick a wall in the Chapel.
  • Remembrance Chapter 5: Unlocked when you complete another successful expedition while playing as the Undertaker.
  • Remembrance Chapter 6: Unlocked when you find the Scholar in the Northwest Cathedral during the Nightreign Great Hollow event and free him from the crystal.
  • Remembrance Chapter 7: Unlocked when you complete the Night Aspect Expedition (final boss) as the Undertaker, and chose to drop the Dismembered Finger from your inventory next to the corpse before ending the game.

This questline doesn't require you to beat either of the new DLC bosses, though you can choose to fight them for the sake of Chapter 3 or 5 - any successful expedition will do.

Fighting the other characters as the Undertaker

The first major quest for the Undertaker requires you to battle the other characters in the Roundtable Hold, though not all at once. Most players will encounter them in the following order, room by room:

  1. Iron Menial
  2. Executor
  3. Guardian and Recluse
  4. Wylder
  5. Raider and Ironeye

I definitely advise that you fight them individually, and give your abilities time to recharge. Open with heavy jump attacks that can stagger them, then try and get the backstab. Any perks, abilities or items you get from Relics will also apply in this sequence, so make sure you're equipped with them for that extra advantage.

The Scholar's location

The second major challenge of the Undertaker's Remembrance quest is to find the Scholar mid-game. You can only find them during the Shifting Earth Great Hollow event, and when on Expeditions specific to the DLC (such as the Balancers).

Once you're there, you need to do the following:

  1. Head to the castle marked with a red icon in the top-left corner of the map.
  2. There is a cathedral-like building Northwest of the central arena where the Golden Hippopotamus can be found. You'll know when you've found the right building, because there'll be a giant in the central room.
  3. Go up two flights of stairs to the third floor.
  4. In the middle of the room is a huge crystal hanging from the ceiling by chains. Jump and climb up so you're standing on it.
  5. From here, you should be able to leap onto the rafters that the crystal is suspended from.
  6. Up here you'll see a crack in the wall that syncs up with the direction of the red marker.
  7. Go through the crack, and you'll see a chest ahead of you. Turn left to find the Scholar frozen in a crystal. Interact with him to take the Primal Core.
  8. You need to complete or fail the expedition at this point to progress – quitting will reset your progress.

Chapter 7 and the Dismembered Finger

From this point on you need to complete an expedition against the Night Aspect, aka Heolstor, the final boss of Nightreign, while playing . Having done this, you'll be put into the game's outro in the copy of the Roundtable Hold. Here, walk up to the corpse but do not interact with it!

Instead, look in your inventory and you should now have the Dismembered Finger. Drop it from your inventory close to the corpse - you'll know if you've done it right because the Undertaker will say "This will do... I'm sure."

After that, you can trigger the corpse as normal by offering it the Nightlord's Rune and conclude the Expedition with the final cutscene. When you return to the Roundtable Hold, you will complete the quest and get the rewards.

You'll get these rewards for completing the Undertaker's Remembrance:

  • Leather Monocle Case Relic (unlocked after chapter 3)
    • (Undertaker only) Physical attacks boosted while the assist effect from Incantation is active for self.
    • Physical Attack Up +2
    • Extended Spell Duration
  • Glass Necklace Relic (unlocked after Remembrance completion)
    • (Undertaker only) Activating Ultimate Art increases attack power
    • Successive Attacks Boost Attack Power
    • Ultimate Art Auto Charge +3
  • Undertaker "Remembrance" Skin (unlocked after Remembrance completion)

Both of these are great advantages in expeditions, especially the Glass Necklace. Make sure you equip it before going into combat!
