Synopsis:
After the player acquires Art's instrument from the Surgeon, and speaks to Art, Halsin is able to use information given by Art to navigate through the Shadowfell, with the intention of recuing Thaniel, the spirit of the land, and ultimately lifting the shadow curse. He asks the player to help him by protecting a portal to the Shadowfell until he can return with Thaniel. He waits by the shore a short distance from Last Light. Once Halsin enters the portal and the dialogue ends, shadow creatures attack. The player must fight off the creatures until Halsin returns. However, if the player attempts to go through the portal themselves, the ritual will fail.
How to trigger:
Speak to Halsin at the lakeshore near Last Light after he moves there after the Cursed Fist has been revived, and directed him.

18. Player: First, I want to know what to expect.
31. : Thaniel is trapped in the Shadowfell, but thanks to your efforts, I know where to look. Now I must go there - alone.devnote
4. Player: Hold on - shouldn't I come with you?
5. : No. This opportunity has been a hundred years in the making. It has to be me, and only me.devnote
27. : But I didn't bring you here to witness an old druid's grandstanding. You have a part to play in this - and I trust you will play it well.
30. Player: What am I to do?
32. Player: Sounds like you don't need my help anymore.
26. : Wrong. You are the beacon that will guide me home.
2. : With the Oak Father's blessing, I can infiltrate the Shadowfell, but doing so will sap my strength. I'll need your help if I'm to return.
25. : I need you to stay here. Keep the portal open until I return - and defend it at all costs.
3. Player: You can count on me.['Gale 1', 'Wyll 1', 'Karlach 1']

29. Player: Going in alone is suicide. I'll come with you.

14. : I'd rather have you by my side, but this is the only way.
17. Player: Defend it? What do you mean?
21. : The shadows won't be banished without a fight. Once I open the portal, they'll swarm like carrion birds and try to destroy it. You must not let that happen.

1. Player: Let's do it.
19. : Very well. Once I begin the ritual, a portal to the Shadowfell will open - one that will help me save Thaniel. Whatever happens - I must go alone.devnote
