Anathema is arguably the bestTwo-Handed Weaponin game, and the most useful one in the final battle.Anathemacan help finish the final boss in a couple of turns, making an hour-long challenge into a short and easy encounter. This is the primary reason to acquire thisWeapon.
How to Get Anathema
To acquire this Weapon, you need to complete the questAll In The Family. To obtain this quest, you’ll need to speak with necromancerTargquinthe first time you board theLady Vengeance. You can find him locked inDallis’room below deck. Be surenot kill him, for he is the key in this quest (and some others).
When you arrive atReaper’s Coast,Tarquincan be found at the gate ofStonegarden, which is northeast of where you get off of the ship. Note that he will appear on the deck of the ship when you first land atReaper’s Coast, but will then move. Speak with him at the gate to acquire the questAll In The Family.
Next you will need to investigate a family crypt and retrieve something for him. The key to the family crypt is located on a petrified sourceress namedQaunafound in the crypt guarded by the hound (the crypt is close to and directly north of the family crypt and is flanked by two knight statues). CastBlessonQuanainside the crypt to de-petrify her and she will talk to you. Either convince her to give you the key or kill her and take it. If you fight her she spawns a shit ton of undead, but they will all die if you kill her, so just focus her down. Optionally, you can lockpick the family crypt door if you didn’t find the key or can’t bothered.
In the first room of the family crypt, there are two buttons on the wall, you need to get close to discover them. Press these the buttons to open the stone gate. This will take you to a second room with a sarcophagus and some levers, which is adjacent to a third room.
Teleport one of your companions into the third room and have them step on the pressure plate there. Then castSpirit Vision(Learned inPowerful Awakening). This will reveal three levers on the wall in the second room with the sarcophagus. Pull the levers (middle-left-right) to reveal a secret hatch beneath the sarcophagus. If you have already touched the levers since stepping on the plate in the third room, in some other order, then you need to “reset” the middle lever. Pull the middle lever until water comes out in the third room, then do left, then do right.
Inside the hatch you will find a bunch of clay sentinels, gold and chests and another sarcophagus. Loot all the gold and chests and then open the sarcophagus to find the artifact. Note that if your character is aLizard, he/she will recognize the language it says on it. When you attempt to leave the tomb, all clay sentinels will come to life and attack you so be sure you’re ready for the fight. Report toTarquin, he will tell you another piece of artifact is onBloodmoon Island.
When you travel to theBloodmoon Island, you can find a hatch on its northeast corner, but you need highWitsto spot it buried.
Inside the hatch, is the other half of the artifact on a altar.
When you have both halves of the artifact, talk toTarquinonce more. Sometimes he is not at the gate ofStonegarden, and you may find him on the deck of theLady Vengeance.
One you reachTheArxand do the questA King Reborn, confrontTargquinin theHall of Echoesand he will give you theAnathema.Anathemadeals almost twice the damage than otherTwo-Handed Weapon, making some of the weapon based skilled insanely powerful. However, it has only 1Durabilityand will break after killing one enemy. Save it for the last boss and make quick work of him.
