Background
The vault beneath the abbey is sealed, but an old monk called Simeon may know how to get inside. Apparently, it was Simeon who helped Etienne du Marnay get into the vault.
Walkthrough
Find Simeon
You'll find Simeon to the east of the abbey (#4). He'll offer you a deal. If you can defeat a "spiteful" undead priest named Zakkeus the Apostate, then he'll teach you the secret for entering the vault.
Slay Zakkeus the Apostate
You'll find Zakkeus in the "graveyard" to the west (#3). He'll have some skeletons with him, but he'll regenerate his health quickly, and so you'll need to concentrate on him to defeat him. When Zakkeus dies, he'll drop
Defiler Robes and an essence.
Return to Simeon
When you return to Simeon (#4), he'll tell you that you'll need to perform a ritual to enter the vault, and that you'll need two things to complete it -- a special oil and the recitation. You'll find the oil in Sandspring Cavern (Exit A), and you'll find the recitation in the ruined Temple of Azunai (Exit B). Obtaining these items is covered in the quests
Oil and Blood and
Sacred Words. Completing the conversation with Simeon will also complete the quest and earn you 614 xp.
