Mission 19: Ice Caves of Sorrow
As with all the other missions I have covered in this guide, I will explain this one along with how to complete the bonus objective. However, I would not recommend attempting the bonus for this mission unless your entire party is infused. You can complete only the mission for now, and come back for the bonus once you are infused. You will learn more about infusion in mission 20. If you choose to only do the mission, keep in mind to stay away from any Mursaat you spot.

- Follow the path north, and try to avoid the catapults by timing their rate of fire. You will eventually come to a bridge. You don't want to cross it until you destroy the catapults shelling the other side. Proceed west down the hill and eliminate the catapults. After killing the northernmost engineer, fire the catapult to trigger a cinematic. After the cinematic backtrack and head across the bridge. Proceed northeast, eliminate any White Mantle and find the Powder Keg Station in the northernmost part of the map. Blow up the door to the east using the keg and have 2 more people (perferrably casters) grab 2 more kegs. After you have the kegs head inside the cave. Head southeast inside the cave and keep your eyes peeled for a group of Mursaat in a passage to the right. There are 2 passages, you want to take the second one. Eliminate the Mursaat carefully, even more so if your group is not infused. Head deeper into the cave, blow up the closed door and proceed south where you will find Rornak Stonesledge. He is in a prison so you will need to use that last powder keg to free him. Talk to him to get your bonus objective.
- Backtrack through the cave and continue southeast until you exit the cave and find a group of Mursaat patrolling the area where you need to cross. Luckily there is an alternative route; look east where you will find another cave, which leads safely around the patrolling Mursaat. Continue southwest until you pass Evennia and Saidra until you find a Dwarven powder keg. Have 2 people in your party grab 2 of these and head back to blow Evennia and Saidra out of their prison. After the cinematic blow up up the door to the east and proceed through the cave. You don't want to exit the cave. Instead, let the large group of Mursaat Elementalists pass by and clear the way for you. While they are doing that, head right (south) after you come out of the cave and follow the path until you find Hamdor Grandaxe. Speak with him to complete the bonus objective.
- Now all you need to do is follow the large group of Mursaat Elementalists and watch them clear the way for you. They absolutely desacrate anything in their path that isn't one of their own. They don't attack the White Mantle since they are allies, so you will need to eliminate these yourself. Eventually the Mursaat will split up and further down the road they will get killed by catapults. Follow the path and eventually you will reach the Ice Ship. Board it to complete the mission.
