''This is a Mission entry. For information on the Arborstone Explorable area, see Arborstone (Explorable)''

Standard

 * Retrieve the urn of Saint Viktor.
 * Mhenlo must survive.
 * Danika must survive.
 * ADDED: protect Danika While she casts the ritual to open the main door.

Walkthrough
Follow the road to the rear gate of Arborstone Cathedral. After a short dialog, Danika will open the gate, allowing the party into the cathedral. Clear the area of all five groups of wardens. Designate one character to carry up the Urn of Saint Viktor.

After a short cinematic, Mhenlo will be trapped outside the building, leaving the party and Danika to escape through the collapsing cathedral.

Fragments of the building fall at a regular rate, causing minor damage to the whole party and interrupting skills. Henchmen often cannot cast resurrect spells timed to avoid the debris. Fast Casting, Mantra of Resolve and Glyph of Concentration are recommended for members who are carrying resurrect spells. Several areas of the cathedral have the environmental effect "Cathedral Collapse", causing more damage and interrupts from falling stone.

There are two routes from the cathedral sanctum to the atrium and exit.
 * 1) Proceed south through the cathedral. This route is populated by Stone Reapers and Wardens. This route is easier, and provides smaller groups. as you approach the cathedral atrium, you will be attacked by two groups of Oni. Stand clear of the "Cathedral Collapse" areas, and target these assassin creatures with ranged spells.
 * 2) Alternatively, you may proceed through the side route. This route is narrow and linear, however the Dredge in this area are large coordinated and balanced teams, and can be quite difficult to defeat. If you choose to take this path, be sure your team is similarly coordinated.

In the atrium, several stone warriors will be awakened. Eliminate them while you wait for Danika to cast the ritual to open the gate.
