Lazar Bassili wants to reopen the old Heroes' Crypt, so that pilgrims and commerce will return to the valley. Unfortunately, the Crypt has been sealed for almost thirty years.
Heroes of Old is an optional quest in Dungeon Siege III.
Acquiring the Quest[]
After they defeat the archon Rajani, the legionnaires are instructed by Odo to make their way to Stonebridge through the Eastern Swamp. Lazar Bassili is waiting for them at the end of the bridge leading away from the Rukkenvahl Chapterhouse. A conversation with him automatically begins, during which he seeks the legionnaires' help. He informs them that the revenue brought in by pilgrims to the crypt would help Raven's Rill survive the coming winter.

Other Information[]
When the legionnaires arrive at the crypt they encounter Maximilien, a scholar who has a fascination with the crypt. If the legionnaires tell him they are going in, he will ask to accompany them; however, he will get cold feet after the doors to the crypt are opened. Instead he asks the legionnaires if they would be willing to recover some artifacts for him. Accepting this starts the quest Relics of Another Age.
