Monk's Missive

Type

Informative Item

About this item

A letter bearing a terse message and an illustration of a monk, his hands held together.

"Seek me to the east if you wish to pursue the way of the warrior.

When you find me, you will challenge me to a bout. There is no need for words."

Pickup at Highroad Cross

Scadu Altus

Starting Site of Grace: Highroad Cross

1. Reach Highroad Cross in Scadu Altus, just beyond Castle Ensis's northern exit after Rellana. Collect Monk's Missive and the May the Best Win gesture beside the cross.
2. Look beside Highroad Cross for the letter pickup. Collect it to obtain Monk's Missive and May the Best Win together.

Notes

• The drawing and challenge point to Dryleaf Dane at Moorth Ruins, east of Highroad Cross.
• Stand in front of Dane and perform May the Best Win to begin his duel. Repeated conversation will not start it.
• Defeating him gives Dryleaf Arts and Dane's Hat. Attacking him outside the challenge is unnecessary.
• The letter is a clue rather than a weapon, spellbook or consumable buff. The gesture is what starts the challenge.
• Losing the duel lets you try again. Winning does not permanently kill Dane, and his robe and matching wraps remain a separate corpse pickup beneath Recluses' River.
• Complete his earlier duel before entering the later battle against Leda's allies if you want Dryleaf Arts and his hat in this Journey.
