How to unlock the House of Sorrows achievement in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning - Definitive Guide

Non-spoiler solution: The House of Sorrows is the only faction not available on the beginning (West) side of the map. In order to access the East side of the map, you must beat the Balor at the Battle of Mel Senshir:

Kingdoms of Amalur: ReckoningSecret AchievementThe Secret Achievement achievement in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning worth 117 pointsContinue playing to unlock this secret achievement


and you must defeat Octienne in Adessa:

Kingdoms of Amalur: ReckoningSecret AchievementThe Secret Achievement achievement in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning worth 30 pointsContinue playing to unlock this secret achievement


After those victories, most of the Eastern map becomes available, and you will be able to leave Mel Senshir through the Southern exit.

When you leave Mel Senshir, travel East, through Cursewood and towards The Midden. You will find a Fae named Bisarane sitting cross-legged in the path between the areas. Offer to help him and he will send you to the Proving Halls, which will start the House of Sorrows questline.

The quests in this questline are:

•The Sorrows Call
•Voices of the Dead
•A House Divided
•The Eldest
•The Weeping King
•Such Sweet Sorrow

Please ask questions in the comments section and I will expand the solution if needed.

EDIT: Please note that, as with any game of this type, it is possible to make choices which block you from getting this achievement. If you were to sell or drop a quest item instead of turning it in, for example, you could be stopped from completing this questline. I don't know if that qualifies as making this achievement "missable," but there have been a few comments that believe it is, and I'm not going to argue.

To conform to other solutions in this game, I think you should list the names of the quests in the quest line.

Ugh. I'm locked out of this. And I rotate my saves. But my last rotated save was like, 10 play hours ago. Left before I got the key, as Dr. Latour described. What a pain.

UberniXi it's been 5 years since I played this game and I don't remember what key this is or who you get it from. Please elaborate.

If you complete the main quests ("an old friend & enemies in high places") takes character back to Me Senshir progress and you you can then meet the fae mentioned above.

Just beat the main story last night, and still need to do this one (along with the scholia archana). Got Darksiders 2 hopefully coming tomorrow and this doesn't seem too long, so here's hoping I can get it all done today.

The House of Sorrows is the only faction storyline that isn't available near the beginning of the game. . In order to access the East side of the map, you must beat the Balor at the Battle of Mel Senshir (see the Hero of Mel Senshir trophy) and defeat Octienne in Adessa (see the Turning the Tide trophy). Once those quests are complete, you will be able to leave Mel Senshir through the Southern exit.

When you leave Mel Senshir, travel East, through Cursewood and towards The Midden. You will find a Fae named Bisarane sitting cross-legged in the path between the areas. Offer to help him and he will send you to the Proving Halls, which will start the House of Sorrows questline. This questline is the shortest of the faction questlines but still provided a lot of material within each quest. Plus as this takes place near the end of the game, the enemies you encounter are typically tougher than regular enemies found in the world.

House of Sorrows Quests:

- The Sorrows Call
- Voices of the Dead
- A House Divided
- The Eldest
- The Weeping King
- Such Sweet Sorrow

Once you complete the quest "Such Sweet Sorrow" you will be awarded this trophy.

This starts on the second island. Once you progress the main story to unlock the gate of Mel Senshir ("Hero of Mel Senshir" achievement), you will be forced to talk to the person outside who begins this quest line:

  • The Sorrows Call
  • Voices of the Dead
  • A House Divided
  • The Weeping King
  • The Eldest
  • Such Sweet Sorrow

You can start the House of Sorrows quest line by visiting Bisarane at Cursewood, Near Foes’ Hearth (A dialogue will automatically start when you walk by, it’s pretty much impossible to miss). You can only access this place once you’ve completed the “Battle for Mel Senshir” Main Quest.
 
There are a total of 6 quests.
  • The Sorrows Call
  • Voices of the Dead
  • A House Divided
  • The Eldest
  • The Weeping King
  • Such Sweet Sorrow

During the main storyline, you will be sent to their headquarters, where you can pick up the quest. You will meet the “headquarters” only after lifting the siege from Mal-shire (eastern island)

Characters belonging to a “guild” are marked with a guild icon during conversation (lower right corner).
