Walkthrough
This whole Mission is under the effect of Aura of the Bloodstone, which will heal all nearby creatures(spirits as well) when a creature dies. Watch out for pop-ups along the way.

On level 1, walk down into the bigger area first. Gadd will then comment about an inscribed creature to the south-east. Walk to the east first, then, when he says so, to the south. Finish off the Inscribed Sentry, walk back north and walk through the portal when Livia has opened it. If you have killed the Inscribed Sentry and Livia won't open the portal go back to the corpse of the Sentry and wait until Livia extracts its essence. (Aura of the Bloodstone heals for 20hp on this level)

On level 2, again, walk to the south-east. You will then enter a room filled of undead with a huge group of Skeletal Hounds as guards. Have one of your party tank them all while the others finish them and it will be a piece of cake. Inside, some of the undead will be friendly, some hostile, and in their midst, the Inscribed Sentry will patrol with a group of undead. It is possible to lure him out alone and kill him. Once he is finished, all undead will die. Walk further to the south-east and pass through the portal. (Aura of the Bloodstone heals for 40hp on this level)

On level 3, Gadd will tell you to go west. Do so and you will reach a room full of Enchanted weapons with an Inscribed Guardian in their middle. There are 4 friendly Enchanted Scythes around the Bloodstone. These will turn hostile once you attack the Guardian. The Guardian is a necromancer boss. Once it's dead, the mission is finished, so don't bother with the other foes in the room. (Aura of the Bloodstone heals for 60hp on this level)

Finding the Bloodstone (1st floor )

 * Gadd: "There are more inscribed creatures ahead. You there, the tall one! Track them down and remove their inscriptions. I'll need those before we can delve deeper and locate the bloodstone."


 * Gadd: "I still sense the creature. It is to the south now.  Shall I show you which way is SOUTH, bookah?"


 * Gadd: "Feel that? No, you wouldn't. There's an inscribed creature southeast of us, but it's on the move. I'll repeat that incase you weren't listening. SOUTH. EAST."


 * Gadd: "You there. Shining Blade girl. Extract this inscription."
 * Livia: "Of course, Gadd. But remember, you can't do this alone."
 * Gadd: "Give me just a moment. This is so far beyond you it would make your head spin."

Finding the Bloodstone (2nd floor)

 * Gadd: "There's an inscribed creature to the southeast again. If you know how to read a compass, look between the S and E, and walk between them. That's SOUTHEAST."


 * Gadd: "We're closer to the creature now. This one isn't moving much. Perhaps it's guarding something...you go in first."


 * Livia: "These inscriptions are fascinating. I wonder what created them."
 * Gadd: "That doesn't matter, Necromancer. All that matters is that I will figure them out!"


 * Gadd: "These inscriptions are...interesting. No wonder no one else has gotten in here. They didn't have me."

Finding the Bloodstone (3rd floor)

 * Gadd: "The inscribed power emanating from this room is...immense. We must mind our steps. Well, you should, as you will be walking in front of me. After you."


 * Gadd: "Defeating the guardian will allow me to harness the Bloodstone's full power!"
 * Gadd: "Well, what are you waiting for?"
