Completing Kareth’s quest prepares you for other Cultist Lair challenges:
Kareth is located in the Hall of Whispers, which is accessible after unlocking Cultist Lair Door 1. To reach him, you’ll need to collect three specific items (Albino Moon Wood, Sparkling Enchant Relic, and Key of Whispers) and place them on the pedestals to unlock the door. Once inside, take the elevator down to the Hall of Whispers and look for Kareth near the small reflective pool – he’s the NPC wearing a green hooded robe with a “New Quest” prompt above his head.
Cleansing corrupt books is straightforward: simply approach the bookshelves in the Hall of Whispers library and hover your mouse pointer over the books. When you see a hand icon appear, click on that book to cleanse it. You’ll receive visual and audio confirmation when a book is successfully cleansed. Continue this process until no more books trigger the hand icon, indicating that all corrupt books have been purified.
Upon completing Kareth’s quest, you’ll receive Kareth’s Amulet Fragment as a reward. This green-glowing fragment is one of five pieces needed to assemble the complete Dreamer’s Amulet.

No special items are required beyond access to the Hall of Whispers. The cleansing process is purely interactive – you just need to click on the corrupt books when they show the hand icon. However, you do need the three prerequisite items (Albino Moon Wood, Sparkling Enchant Relic, and Key of Whispers) to unlock access to the Hall of Whispers in the first place.
After cleansing all corrupt books, return to Kareth and speak with him again. He’ll commend your efforts and reward you with Kareth’s Amulet Fragment. This completes the quest, and you can then move on to other Cultist Lair quests or continue working toward assembling the complete Dreamer’s Amulet by collecting fragments from other NPCs.
No, Kareth’s Amulet Fragment Quest is a one-time completion quest. Once you’ve cleansed all the corrupt books and received the fragment, the quest cannot be repeated. However, you can continue to explore the Hall of Whispers and work on other quests within the Cultist Lair.
There’s no specific level requirement for Kareth’s quest, but you’ll need to have progressed far enough in the game to access Terrapin Island and collect the required items for unlocking Cultist Lair Door 1. Most players can attempt this quest once they’ve reached the mid-game stages and have the necessary equipment for fishing and appraising.
No, there are no time limits for completing Kareth’s quest. You can take as much time as you need to locate and cleanse all the corrupt books. The quest progress is saved, so you can return to it later if you need to take a break or attend to other matters in the game.
