Walkthrough
After Maze gives you the quest teleport from Heroes Guild to a new location named Witchwood Cullis Gate. The quest starts once you teleport in this area.
Destroy the vines that block your way (on the right side they hide a chest with a Resurrection Phial) and follow the path until a cutscene with a Troll interrupts you.
The Troll is different from the one you encountered during the Trader Escort main quest, and it is much more resilient. As before, stay at a safe distance and try to dodge his attacks. Use arrows or ranged spells along with the Slow Time spell to drop him quicker.
Collect the loot he drops and follow the path to Witchwood Stones (before leaving search the barrel and around it for more goodies).
As you enter Witchwood Stones you can find a Demon Door on you right (theres a Silver Key in the pond across the door). In order to open it you must spell its name by hitting some magic stones.
To get the doors name go to The Temple of Avo, an area where characters can make money donations to improve their alignment and get new stuff (such as a title and a Legendary Weapon).
A man thats here will tell you the name if you give him a Ruby. If you dont want to pay him anything you can go back and try to guess the name yourself. There are four magic stones in the northern area of Witchwood Stones.
If you press the action button you can find which letter they represent (H, S, I, T). In order to spell the name you need to hit each stone to form the word HITS (dont hit the stones to form a dirty word or you will be attacked by balverines).
The Demon Door is now opened. Get inside to talk to the Archaeologist, and after the quest is completed dont forget to loot the items inside (including a Silver Chest).
