Rescue
The Flame gives the quest once the Ancient Spires quest is done. The vault sits on the far west side of the Springlands, west of the Springlands Ancient Spire. A Scavenger camp guards the entrance, and more Scavengers patrol inside. Balthazar waits in an upper gallery; a door above it opens onto a ledge for an easy glide back down.

Lore
Balthazar is an accomplished alchemist and scholar found in the Ancient Vault - Alchemist during the quest Powerful Alchemy. He loves birds and once planned to build a glider and fly to the hills among the bluejays. He studied the Hollow Halls and noted that their architecture differs from the Ancients' work. He kept a tower in Lone Thistle, where he lost his Mortar. Rats in his old tower drew stray cats, which leads to his Cat Search quest. He warns strongly against drinking the Elixir and calls Mycelium a dangerous disease. He explains that the Flameborn were made through a union of the Ancients and humans. He walks a path of light and distrusts the Collector's dark powers.
Notes
- He gives Carpentry Assistance, the quest that leads to the Carpenter.
- He gives Explore The Hollow Halls once the Farmer and Carpenter are rescued.
- Grinding Stones are the first station to build for him, since they make Bonemeal.
