Blinding Sounds is one of the optional side quests in Nightingale where Danu asks for help in silencing the sounds of the Fae that has been messing up with her thinking. This is the first part of the quest chain for the peaceful route in obtaining the Pellucidic Etched Ingot for the Gateway to The Watch quest. Read ahead as we go through the steps on how to complete the Blinding Sounds quest in Nightingale.
How to unlock the “Blinding Sounds” quest
The Blinding Sounds quest will be available as soon as you talk to Danu. Danu can be found at the Swamp Gloom realm just outside her hut. Partaking in this quest is optional, but completing it will give out additional rewards, plus it leads to the quest that unlocks the Friend of the Grendels Achievement.
Silence the Fae’s Tune
For this quest, Danu agrees to offer some help to know more about the Sun Giant if you manage to silence out the sounds coming from the Fae towers. Your main objective is to go to five Bastilles of Intellect within the realm and complete their challenges. In case you have run out of bastilles to complete within this realm, you can do the ones in the other realms as they would still count towards the objectives.
Solving the Bastilles of Intellect will only require you to play a short memorization minigame. After activating the main pylon at the bastille, pay attention to the order of activation of the smaller pylons. Then, simply reactivate the pylons following the same order. Doing it properly will complete the challenge and open up a gate where you can get a Favour.
After completing five bastilles, report back to Danu to complete the quest. You will also be rewarded with the following:
- x1 Danu’s Cauldron Recipe
- x1 Charm (Charm of Thorns)
- x3 Stalwart Infusion (Blocking Efficiency)
- x3 Carved Stone (Granite)
- x6 Ore (Shimmering)
Continue talking to Danu to get the next quest, Redress to the Sun.
