How to Start the Quest

This quest becomes available at the Songclave Wishwell, the main quest board for the Choral Chambers area.

Prerequisites

To unlock Strengthening Songclave, you must first complete the preceding donation quest, Building Up Songclave. This quest line generally becomes available after you have progressed the main story to the point of ringing the bell of the First Shrine.

How to Complete Strengthening Songclave Wish

The entire quest revolves around collecting 500 Rosaries and donating them to the cause. You can gather Rosaries by defeating enemies and exploring Pharloom to find breakable deposits. Our Interactive Map can help you locate Rosary deposit clusters.

1. Accept the “Strengthening Songclave” Wish

   Interact with the Wishwell in Songclave to find and accept the quest. The board will show the request for a significant donation to aid the residents.

2. Donate 500 Rosaries

   Once you have collected at least 500 Rosaries, return to the Wishwell and interact with it again to make the donation. If you already have the required amount when you accept the quest, you can complete this step immediately.

   Tip

   In some cases, the option to turn in materials might not appear immediately. If this happens, simply fast travel out of the area and then return to Songclave to trigger the donation prompt at the Wishwell.

Quest Rewards and Importance

Unlike other quests, “Strengthening Songclave” does not reward a physical item. Instead, its completion is a mandatory step to unlock further quests and storylines within the Choral Chambers.

Completing this wish will cause the following new quests to appear on the Songclave Wishwell:

• The Lost Merchant
• The Wailing Mother

Veteran Analysis

Strengthening Songclave is a key progression gate. It is not optional if you wish to experience all the content the Choral Chambers has to offer. Completing it is essential for accessing major side quests like The Wailing Mother, which leads to a unique boss fight. It is recommended to complete this donation as soon as possible to open up the rest of the area’s storylines.
