Echoes of Silenced Bells Walkthrough

Echoes of Silenced Bells is the reason the St. Tyna’s chapter exists: Anca wants the forbidden books, and the convent is no longer a place you can simply walk into. The journal files it under The thirty days and records St. Tyna’s Grove as its region, with an NPC band of roughly 16–22. The introduction states the problem directly: “Anca claims the forbidden books held at St. Tyna’s contain ancient wisdom I need in order to defeat the vrakhiri. Problem is, the convent isn’t the safe haven it used to be…”

Where the quest sits

Every entry in this quest involves Anca, who is present throughout, and the journal’s own steps name Leonica as the figure behind the convent’s fall. It carries the longest step list of the main quests — 26 entries — because the journal logs the approach, the whole convent, the catacombs below it, and the optional rooms in one sequence. The quest’s outcome is what Between the Words opens from, even though the journal lists that quest first in the chapter.

Journal objectives

The journal records these 26 entries, in this order:

1. Meet with Anca at the old inn — “Anca told me to meet her at the old inn near St. Tyna’s – and we’ll go to the monastery together from there.”
2. Make your way through the fog — “This fog – it’s not natural, that’s for sure. We should stick together and watch each other’s backs as we approach St. Tyna’s.”
3. Investigate the body — “Travelling through this ungodly fog, we came across a fresh body. Might be a good idea to give it a look-over – and find out what dangers lurk here.”
4. Open the convent gates — “We managed to get to St. Tyna’s – and were surprised to hear voices coming from within. What’s going on? We need to open the gates and see for ourselves.”
5. Investigate the dead nun — “The nun – she’s dead, and yet she came after us. How’s it even possible? We need to take a closer look, see what we can learn.”
6. Follow Anca through the refectory building — “Turns out the whole convent is infested with undead nuns. We managed to safely hide inside the refectory building – but what now? Anca suggested we take a closer look at the convent from the balcony before we decide anything.”
7. Make your way through the fog — “This fog – it’s not natural, that’s for sure. We should stick together and watch each other’s backs as we approach St. Tyna’s.”
8. Secure a safe passage to the library for Anca — “The books are somewhere in the library – which Anca cannot safely access with all the undead nuns milling about. I need to figure out how to secure a safe passage for her.”
9. Check out the chapel bells — “From what I understand, the convent bells were used to inform the nuns what they were supposed to do. I wonder if I can use this to my advantage.”
10. Return to Anca — “I’ve managed to open a secure passage to the library – I need to tell Anca we’re good to go.”
11. Push the bookcase out of the way — “The forbidden volumes are hidden behind a bookcase. Let’s push it out of the way, then.”
12. Descend to the catacombs — “Someone took the forbidden books – and brought them down to the catacombs. Though I don’t like it one bit, we need to follow.”
13. Look for keys — “Lots of locked doors around the convent. But I’m sure I can find the right keys to open them.”
14. Look for keys in the caretaker’s shed — “There was a caretaker at the convent – and he had a shed. I’d bet my money there are some keys to be found there.”
15. Search for the forbidden books in the catacombs — “We know someone took the forbidden books down to the catacombs. We need to find them.”
16. Return to Anca — “I’ve managed to open a secure passage to the library – I need to tell Anca we’re good to go.”
17. Follow Anca — “Anca knows this convent like the back of her hand – let her show me the way.”
18. Defeat the undead nun — “We were attacked by a nun who’s neither quite dead, nor alive. I need to strike her down all the same.”
19. Defeat Leonica — “Now we know who brought the curse upon the convent – it was Anca’s old friend, Leonica. But now, there’s no talking to her – I need to put her down before she kills us both.”
20. Wait for Anca or come back later — “I’m at the inn – but Anca isn’t here yet. I can wait for her, or come back some time later.”
21. Check out the infirmary — “There’s smoke coming out of the infirmary’s chimney. So there’s someone inside – someone who still has their wits about them.”
22. Check out the bell tower — “What’s inside the bell tower, I wonder – other than the bells? Only one way to find out.”
23. Check out the chapel — “The chapel used to be the heart of the convent – if there are any clues as to what happened here, I bet that’s where I’ll find them.”
24. Investigate the sounds coming from the infirmary — “What’s that I heard coming from the infirmary – voices? I should check who’s inside.”
25. Talk to Anca — “Leonica is dead – as it turns out, she was behind the evil that took over St. Tyna’s. Anca is browsing through her books now. I should look around the room and approach Anca when ready.”
26. Search for bell instructions in the dormitory — “It seems the nuns had some sort of instructions for the convent’s bell signals. Maybe I can find them in the dormitory.”

Before you go

The grove’s 16–22 band is the only gate, and the step list itself is the preparation: the journal expects you to find keys, bells and instructions before the catacombs make sense. Run it with Anca’s daylight kit in mind and expect a long session rather than a short one. The mid-game walkthrough shows where this fits against the vassal arcs, and the missable content guide tracks what can close behind you.
