Where to Find Ruzgar in Galandra’s Quest in Absolum

Once you have initiated the quest in Absolum, just leave the hub, and you can start on your way from there:
- Take the beach path and follow it until the end.
- Continue past the night boss or the goblin champion boss (whichever you encounter).
- Jump down the specific path that leads to the swampy area.
- At the fork in the road, find the sign marked with an arrow and hit the arrow twice to reveal the correct way.
- Continue along the path, hitting subsequent signs twice as instructed.
- Proceed until you reach an area with a glowing pit.
- Jump down the glowing pit to initiate a mirror matchup.
- After winning the fight, Galandra will awaken, and her master will speak to her.
How To Start Galandra’s Quest to Find Ruzgar the Necromaster
Galandra’s personal quest begins with a conversation between her and Karl at the hearth or hub, where Karl expresses admiration for her fiery spirit. Galandra reveals that the war prevented her from completing her training, and to do so, she must find the abyss in the Misty Grove and stare into the void.
This conversation will organically occur during your time at the hearth or hub. There is no specific trigger beyond continuing to swap characters and talk to them between runs.
FAQs
Does the Skeleton Key Need to Be Acquired for Every Run to Fight Ruzgar?
Yes, the skeleton key is a random reward from the merchant, meaning it is not a permanent unlock for Galandra’s quest.
Can Other Characters Complete Galandra’s Quest to Find Ruzgar?
No, personal quests, including Galandra’s, can only be completed with the character to whom they are related.
What Are the Specific Gestures Needed to Open the Necromaster’s Door in Yelum?
After defeating the Under King and arriving at Yelum, the city of forgotten bliss, you will need the skeleton key to access Rosgar. Navigate to the lower path, past the area leading to the mansion. You will find a circular door adorned with a skeleton with glowing eyes.
To open this door, you must perform a specific sequence of gestures. Hold the inventory button (left bumper on your controller) to bring up your gestures, and the gestures are the same, whether you’re on this quest or finding the Interloper.
- Gesture downwards.
- Then, gesture upwards.
Finally, the door will open, allowing you to confront Rosgar, the Necromaster, and complete Galandra’s personal quest, making her a knight of Yelin in Absolum.
