How to Complete Illuminate The Night
Illuminate The Night is a main quest with three objectives: Investigate The Barrier, Open The Night Door And Explore The Sanctum, and Summon The Barber. The Journal says the Flame senses a barrier built by the elder Ancients that inhibits its reach and vision, and asks you to reach and investigate the dark barrier.
- 1
Investigate The Barrier
Go to the quest marker just east of Fort Kelvin and head down into the Shroud. In our playthrough, the objective changed as soon as we dropped from a cliff into the Shroud.

Open The Night Door And Explore The Sanctum
Open the round door of Elder's Night Sanctum at night, get past the traps, press the button at the end of the trap corridor to open the locked gate, and awaken the Barber at the pod behind it.

Summon The Barber
Return to your base and place Elio Ricci, the Barber, with the Summoning Staff. In our playthrough, the quest was completed right after we placed Elio Ricci.

Where to Find Elder's Night Sanctum
On the map, the marker for Illuminate The Night is just east of Fort Kelvin.
In our playthrough, Location below and then Search this area appeared under the objective as we got close. When we dropped from a cliff at the edge of the Shroud into it, the objective changed to Open The Night Door And Explore The Sanctum, and the location name ELDER'S NIGHT SANCTUM appeared on the screen.
The entrance to the sanctum is inside the Shroud.
How to Open the Night Door
The round door at the entrance only opens at night. If you try to open it at any other time, the message Can only be opened at night appears.
In our playthrough, we waited on a cliff outside the Shroud until night, then went back to the door, and it opened. The wait was cut from the recording, so we cannot say how long the wait for night takes.
The first room past the door has a domed object with a small flame on top that sends up a column of pink light. In our playthrough, entering that room filled the Shroud timer back up, and after we died we respawned next to it.
Traps in the Sanctum and How to Open the Locked Gate
Some corridors in the sanctum have rows of spikes hanging from the ceiling or sticking up from the floor, and another corridor has fireball traps that shoot out of holes in the walls.
In our playthrough, we were hit by the floor spikes on the way back from the Barber's pod and died.
The sanctum has one locked lattice gate. When you get close to it, the gate shows as Locked.
To open the gate, use the glowing button at the end of the trap corridor. In our playthrough, the lattice gate was open when we came back to it.
How to Awaken and Summon the Barber
The Barber's pod is in the room behind the lattice gate. In our playthrough, selecting Awaken Survivor at the pod changed the objective to Summon The Barber, and SOUL DISCOVERED! ELIO RICCI appeared.
Return to your base, equip the Summoning Staff and select Attune summoning staff to open the list. Select Elio Ricci, the Barber, under CRAFTSPEOPLE and place Elio Ricci at your base. In our playthrough, Quest reward XP +1200 appeared right after placing, followed by QUEST COMPLETED! Illuminate The Night.
In our playthrough, the tracked quest changed to The Alchemist's Mortar after the quest was completed.
