Ardos will give you the hint that the people who went with his father might have some information regarding the key. This will open up three small quests namely.

• Talk to Ardos’ Caretaker

Completing the Quest and Opening the Gate

You have to first talk to some of the villagers and complete the tasks given to them. While progressing you will be able to get your hands on the location of Swordfish. However, the swordfish quest will end by killing him.

• Talk to Collector
