Admission to the Old Camp

The Old Camp seems powerful and well-organized. If I want influence in the Colony, but at the same time protection, this could be the right place to start.

4 objectives4 locationsReward: Shadow's Dress

The Old Camp is powerful and well-organized, offering both influence and protection. Getting in means earning Diego's sponsorship by proving yourself to the Outer Ring and handling a job or two.

  1. 1Find out how to join: Diego is the key, but he'll only vouch for you once you've impressed the most influential people in the Outer Ring.
  2. 2Improve your skills and earn the backing of the Shadows. Diego also sends you to fetch the supply list from the Old Mine (see Test of Faith).
  3. 3With the Outer Ring behind you, Diego gets you an audience with Gomez.
  4. 4Speak to Thorus to be let through the gate, then meet Gomez, who takes you into the Old Camp.
