5. One party member must obtain an Assault Armband from the staging point's Immortal.

Map

The mission takes place on Periqia Map 8.

Area	Location	Notes
Starting room	H-6	Excaliace begins here.
Upper paired rooms	H-7 / I-7	Excaliace randomly chooses one side.
Middle and lower paired rooms	H-8 / I-8	Two additional randomized room choices.
Lower fork	H-9	Excaliace randomly chooses the eastern or western route.
Lower corridor	G-10	Contains additional enemies along the route.
Holding area	F-11	Mission completion, Ancient Lockbox, and Rune of Release.

Escort Controls

Excaliace is not controlled through a normal escort command. His movement depends on player distance, facing, nearby enemies, and his randomly selected route.

Condition	Result
A player approaches within approximately 10 yalms	Begins the escort.
A player stands within approximately 4 yalms	Excaliace stops moving.
Excaliace and a player face each other within approximately 5 yalms	Excaliace stops; this can also catch him while he is retreating.
A player remains within approximately 10 yalms while facing Excaliace	Prevents the unattended escape timer from expiring.
No qualifying player remains near him for approximately 10 seconds	Excaliace begins running back toward the entrance.
A living enemy comes within approximately 12 yalms	Excaliace panics and retreats.
Excaliace reaches his escape point	The Assault fails.

The most reliable position is approximately 5-10 yalms behind him, facing toward him. This allows him to move while keeping the escape timer reset.

Walkthrough

1. Enter at H-6.
2. Designate one party member as the escort controller.
   • The controller should approach Excaliace to begin the mission.
   • Other party members should move ahead and clear enemies.
3. Keep approximately 5-10 yalms behind Excaliace while facing him.
   • Moving too close stops him.
   • Moving too far away for too long causes him to run toward the entrance.
4. Excaliace proceeds through three east-west pairs of side rooms:
   • H-7 and I-7
   • H-8 and I-8
   • A third paired junction also lies within the H-8 / I-8 section.
5. At each pair, Excaliace randomly chooses one room.
   • One side may contain Arrapago Crabs while the opposite room is empty.
   • Wait for him to reveal his choice before committing the party to one room.
   • Clear the selected room before allowing him to enter.
6. Excaliace pauses briefly at the end of each selected room before returning to the central passage.
7. After completing the three room checks, he travels toward H-9.
8. At the lower fork, he randomly selects an eastern or western route.
   • Clear Periqia Pugils and Debauchers before he approaches.
9. Continue through G-10 toward the final holding area.
10. If Excaliace encounters an enemy:
    1. He begins running back toward the entrance.
    2. Move ahead of him.
    3. Face him at close range to stop and catch him.
    4. After he stops, back away again so he resumes the escort route.
11. Escort him to F-11.
12. When he reaches the endpoint, the objective completes automatically.
13. The Ancient Lockbox and Rune of Release appear beside him.
14. Open the Ancient Lockbox and distribute all treasure before activating the Rune of Release.
15. Examine the Rune of Release to complete the Assault and receive Assault Points.
