Quest #3. Clear the Decay Crypt at the Forest Outskirts.
The Farmer tells you the crypt you cleared was only the easiest one. It was very small and only some rookie fighters were assigned to defend it. According to certain Decayers in Cult, secretly working for the Underground, some captives are held in the Decay Crypt in the Forest Outskirts. When you get in, the Farmer will tell you about his memories to the crypt. Kill all Decayers, but watch out for traps and Flamethrower Turrets. Use your Trap Detector and Fire Extinguishers to minimize damage. After you've killed all enemies, open the crate with the keys and free the three captives. Next, the Farmer contacts you again that the captives will be taken to the infirmary at the Hideout. He also explains that they would have gone to the Crematorium otherwise. Here, they would either be sacrificed, be enslaved or become an Adept, the lowest rank among Decayers.

- He and his 'flock' deal fire damage, so bring Fire Extinguishers or a Flame Arrester;
- He's vulnerable to cold damage;
- Blood Groves and AKM-A Bloodsuckers have no special effect on him;
- He sometimes summons a shield to protect himself, which can only be destroyed by regular damage, or four Devil's Candles that restore his health.

Ques #8. Get the parts needed to repair the armor of the Cardinal's armor.
When you talk to the Farmer again, he'll tell you that he used to be a Decayer. Shortly after the Conflagration, he joined the cult and followed the Glorious Blind. He kept his armor from that time, as a reminder to the horrors he's fighting against. Now he thinks he can battle the Decay Cardinal by repairing his armor. You need to collect the parts for it.

You'll also hear the Decay Cardinal's final words and a request from the Farmer: if he can't keep the fire in him under control, you must kill him. As a reward, you get a Flame Arrester and a Cryonanite.
