    Return to the Cathedral
    Now that you have the four talismans you can finally get the talking Eye, collect your fees, and retire in style. First, though, stock up on all of your undead-killing items (water arrows, holy water, and so on). You're going to need them.

    You start right outside the cathedral. Two pillars on either side of the main door contain spaces for the talismans. Once all four are placed on the pillars, the main doors will open. Go into the next chamber - through the double doors to the front or the doors to the left and right. All three doors will lead to the cathedral hall; the double doors will put you at the front of the hall, the door on the left will bring you to the left side, and the door on the right will bring you to the right side. Once you're ready, sneak into the hall and be sure to hide in the shadows.

    Tip: Besides holy water, flash bombs also work well against the undead, especially the ghostly kind, provided you throw the bomb close enough to the target. Fire arrows are a bit more expensive to use but are also effective.

    Getting the Eye can be a bit tricky, especially the jump onto this narrow pedestal.
    Sneak inside and try to group together the undead before popping them a few times with holy water and flash bombs. Now run to the hammer pedestal (where the Eye sits) and go through the door on the left. Run across the room and open the door on the far side. Go all the way up the stairs and at the top, open the door and run across the beam to the other end. The beams form a U-shape (with rooms at the intersections) around the top of the hall where you can move relatively safely. Once you make it to the other side of the U, drop down the platform and open the door. Turn left and you'll see the hammer pedestal. Jump onto the pedestal, look up, and click on the Eye. Drop off and go back to the same door you used earlier underneath the pedestal, but turn right after going into the room, and the open the other door. You'll run into the spirit of Murus.
