Walkthrough

This quest is granted by an NPC in the Overseer's Tower. Alternatively, skip talking to the NPC and go straight to the Control Blocks and kill the boss.

"

You have been asked to help the rebellion and kill Justicar Casticus. He should be located somewhere in the Control Blocks.

"

- quest log

Use the entrance in the Overseer's Tower to enter the Control Blocks. The boss is in the top right corner of the map. The side quest In Service to Science also takes place in the same area.

Blood isn’t the only currency we need to earn to buy our freedom. We can kill all the Templar mongrels we like out there. It won’t matter a damn if we don’t get inside their stronghold, the Templar Courts. Might as well put my bloody chains back on right now!

Problem is, there’s some sort of witchery surrounding the place. Only those who ‘see the truth with faithful eyes’ are getting in there. The power of Innocence… it’s all in the eyes, you see.

Yet blessed Kitava has answered my prayers and sent us just the pair of eyes we need. The ever faithful Justicar Casticus. He’s there in the Control Blocks right now, smiting my people with self righteous fury.

Find him, and rip his faithful eyes out. Then I’m sure the good Justicar will be kind enough to ‘see’ you into the Templar Courts.

Thank you. By killing Casticus, you’ve given us a fighting chance.

And about his eyes… I’m sorry you had to do that, yet, although Utula’s solution might seem brutal, I’ve seen Karui men blinded with a hot poker simply for looking a fraction too long at an Oriathan lady. Yes, this is war… and just a little revenge too.

Take something, a token of our thanks.
