Early in Soulframe, players face the Torment Stag trial, a gateway to the Garren Rood alliance. Success requires uncovering a hidden sanctuary housing the bound creature and engineering its escape.

Liberating the Captive – Soulframe Guidance

The guiding sparrow proves indispensable for navigation. Initial encounters involve disabling foes guarding a caged being, later revealed as Avakot, a pivotal companion. Dialog options emerge after freeing him:

• Current funds insufficient… (Grace)
• Let the Ode handle this? (Spirit)
• Re-containment possibilities? (Courage)
• 80 Dracs payment

Selecting the Ode option prompts Avakot to reveal vital intelligence. Descend into subterranean tunnels leading to Dermak’s Undercity, where persistent sparrow tracking guides players to critical artifacts. Return aboveground to position relics near the Collector’s vessel, unlocking the sanctuary through musical activation.

A chamber containing four directional stag sculptures blocks progress. Adjust them as follows (orientation relative to entrance):

• Lower right – leftward
• Lower left – leftward
• Upper right – leftward
• Upper left – rightward

Correct alignment grants passage to Lady Deora’s domain. The ensuing conflicts emphasize defensive mastery through strategic counters and evasive maneuvers. For additional strategic insights, consult comprehensive Soulframe resources.
