Walkthrough[ | ]

Silk is consorting with Arakaali, an ancient Vaal goddess. Find him in Arakaali’s temple and save him.


Yeena: What you tell me of Silk , this I understand, though I do not want to. I have spent many nights pondering Silk’s journey, why he has stepped from the Spirit path. Now I know. He has walked into the eight arms of blind lust. Arakaali.

Silk is a warning to us all. He is trying to take the sort trail to greatness, to the story Spirit has made for him. Silk tries to steal his story but now he holds only a lie.

Please, you must find the place where this Arakaali sleeps in her web of shadow. You must stop Silk before he wakes her, a mistake that we all will come to regret. The Spirit tells me this is so.

Silk: My bride has arrived, exile! I hope you brought a wedding gift!

Sin : Many an artist of Azmerian descent has engaged in the sad worship of that sultry arachnid, but you looked her in those hypnotic eyes, and then ripped them out. She lies in her bed of sordid memory… alone.

A little of this spider yet creeps and crawls in my palm. A touch more power for my subdue of gods?


Yeena: You hear that? No? It is Spirit singing as does the fly who escapes the web. Yes, it is most happy with us… and with your strange friend there too.

He is a god, yes I can see that much. But why he helps you? Of all questions, that one you must have answer to.

Now I must return to Broken Bridge… so tired now. We will speak more of Silk and sorrow then.
