Objectives for the Sorrow Among Stones Quest in Path of Exile 2
The Sorrow Among Stones quest in Path of Exile 2 is divided into five different sub-objectives. Although your primary objective is to defeatLachlann the Endless Lament, reaching the boss requires a fair bit of additional work. Firstly, you need to find theCemetery of the Eternals.
In the cemetery, you will find Lachlann, with whom you can interact to start the quest. Upon talking toLachlann the Lost, he will ask you to collecttwoMemorial Key pieces to enter the Memorial Gate. If you’re having trouble locating Lachlann, you can find him near theGrim Tangleat the Cemetery of the Eternals. Collecting the key pieces is what makes up the bulk of this quest.
Here are the different objectives of the Sorrow Among Stones quest:
Enter the Mausoleum of Praetor and Defeat Draven
The Mausoleum of Praetor can be found within theCemetery of the Eternals. Once you talk to Lachlann the Lost, he will guide you to the Mausoleum. Once you make your way inside the Mausoleum, make your way to its heart to findDraven. Much like any other dungeon boss, Draven has a ton of HP, which can make the fight feel like a battle of attrition.
However, most of Draven’s attacks are quite easy to dodge. Draven’s attacks include sword attacks, energy projectiles, and multiple area-of-effect (AOE) barrages. While Draven’s attacks deal a ton of damage, they are quite slow. His sword attacks are quite easy to dodge and punish.
Once you defeat Draven, you will be rewarded with the first piece of theMemorial Key.
Enter the Tomb and Defeat Asinia
After defeating Draven, your next objective is to reach theTomb ofthe Consortand defeatAsinia. Similarly to the Mausoleum of Praetor, the Tomb of the Consort can be reached via the Cemetery of the Eternals. Asinia can be found within the heart of the Tomb, and upon defeating her, you will be rewarded with the second (and final) piece of theMemorial Key.
Asinia’s attacks are quite similar to that of Draven’s. However, she deals much more damage with her regular attacks and has a specialCage Trapability, which can be incredibly lethal. She also can summon a massive barrage of projectiles, which can be quite a challenge to counter.
Thankfully, most of Asinia’s attacks are well-telegraphed and easy to dodge.
Defeat Lachlann the Endless Lament
Once you have both the pieces of the Memorial Key, simply head back to Lachlann the Lost’s position and unlock theMemorial Gate. Once you enter the Memorial, you will be confronted by Lachlann once again. After interacting with him, he will transform intoLachlann the Endless Lament. Lachlann, despite his intimidating transformation, isn’t a particularly challenging boss fight.
The boss mostly uses ground-based melee attacks, coupled with a few area-of-effect abilities. Furthermore, after the halfway point in the battle, Lachlann will start usingSpirit Attacks, which can deal a ton of damage. However, avoiding the Spirit Attacks is quite easy.
The best way to counter Lachlann the Endless Lament is to focus on dodging and attacking in between his ground spike attacks. Despite the speed, the ground spike ability leaves plenty of room for you to get in and deal damage to the boss. Furthermore, elemental spells work wonders against Lachlann.
Moreover, avoid the chilled ground left by Lachlann’s spirit ability. Touching the chilled ground will inflictChillandHinderstatus on your character. Upon defeating Lachlann the Endless Lament, you will be rewarded withCount Lachlann’s Ring.
