The Shade of Eccria is not only one of Sable's most enjoyable quests, but it also grants one of the game's most remarkable rewards. With its unsettling number of eyes, the Shade of Eccria Mask is spooky enough to turn our heroine's head into some kind of Lovecraf⛄tian menace, and who doesn't wa🌜nt that?
Thanks to the game's largely open-ended nature, ꧂the only real prerequisite to starting The Shades of Eccria is f💯inishing Sable's lengthy (and emotional) tutorial. Here's how to advance through the quest and earn a fabulously creepy prize along the way.
How to Start the Shades of Eccria Quest
The Shade of Eccria begins in the aptly named town of Eccria, so hover your way on over and let's get started. If you're having trouble locating it, travel to Burnt Oak Station and search westward and very slightly to the north. Beneath the bridge, you'll encounter a man named Maz. Predictably, Maz has a problem — a problem he'd just love for Sable to solve. Maz's selfless young son has been taken prisoner and🐲 it's up to you to free him.
Once your conversation's complete, it's time to get to work. Your goal now is to become a legendary vigilante, or at least to look the part. To do so, you'll need to follow a circular sigil throughout Eccria. The 💛sigil has eight small holes of varying sizes; each of these holes represents one of the infamous Shade of Eccria's eyes. Clearly, the Shade is a ♉frightening enough fellow to put the fear in even the most hardened of town guards.
Where to Find Every Sigil
Climb up Eccria's rooftops to spot a sigil. Stay on course up there until you espy a second sigil just above the entrance to the lower water pipes. Swim through the area and you'll emerge just outside town. Look to the left and note the next sigil etched into a large rock just a few stray meters away. You should have no great trouble spotting yet another sigil in the distance.
Sprint your way to the distant sigil, tilting your camera toward the right upon arrival. Sure enough, you'll see a sigil. Pass this final mark to find a cave covered in sigils. Don't worry, you're done chasing circ𓆏les. The treasure chest at the center of the cave contains the Shade of Eccria Mask — otherwise kn♚own as the key to finishing this quest.
Return to Maz for a hilarious cutscene. Now go forth, creepy many-eyed she-beast, and scare the w♛orld.
