Rileigh the Idle invasion contract

Altus Plateau

Starting Site of Grace: Bridge of Iniquity

Before you go

• Obtain the second main Manor letter naming Rileigh the Idle.

1. At Volcano Manor in Mt. Gelmir, speak to Tanith beside the armored knight and agree to join. Take the Drawing-Room Key and open the drawing room down the corridor. Collect the Letter from Volcano Manor from its table.
2. Read the letter to mark Old Knight Istvan on the map. In Limgrave, start at Warmaster's Shack east of Stormhill Shack and head north toward the colosseum. Find the red invasion sign below the approach to its entrance.
3. Use the red sign and defeat Old Knight Istvan in his world. This is the contract target, rather than a roaming knight. Winning gives all four regular Scaled armor pieces directly.
4. Return to Tanith and report the completed request for Magma Shot. Her spell reward is separate from the armor, and reporting the kill makes the next letter available.
5. Collect the second Letter from Volcano Manor from the drawing-room table. It names Rileigh the Idle in the Altus valley south of the Shaded Castle.
6. From Bridge of Iniquity, cross east and go south to the spiritspring. Use Torrent to descend safely in the spring, then continue southwest to the second spiritspring and descend again to the valley floor.
7. Head north through the valley to the red sign at the letter's map marker. Defeat Rileigh for Crepus's Vial and 20 Black-Key Bolts. Return to Tanith for Serpentbone Blade before continuing the manor quests.

Notes

• Silences movement, helping you approach enemies without the usual noise from moving around. You do not need to consume or refill the vial.
• It does not make you invisible. An enemy looking directly at you can still notice the approach, so use cover and approach from behind.
• Movement silence does not mean every action is silent. Attacking and casting remain separate actions that can reveal your position.
• The silence can be useful with armor that does not provide its own movement-silencing effect. Combining it with another effect that already silences movement does not add invisibility.
• Concealing Veil provides a different effect for crouching at a distance from enemy players. It does not replace the need to stay out of an enemy's line of sight.
• Rileigh's invasion remains possible if his letter is already available after Rykard. Completing it then does not unlock the next main letter; finish and report the full sequence earlier if you want all Manor rewards.
• Weighs 0.7 and works while equipped, without FP use or a limited duration. Carrying it in your inventory alone does not silence movement.
