Description

So, you survived the imperial clutches. You are... resilient. The Klaxxi hear another paragon to the north, among the sha-scorched roots of Kypari Vor. This one cries out in terror and agony. It cannot be saved. The Klaxxi want him put down. Go and defeat him or do not return here.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • In Her ClutchDread Wastes · Level 30-35

    The crystal sings to the Klaxxi. They sense a paragon in the clutch, east of the tower. Clutch-keepers are trying to pollute this one. The Klaxxi will not permit this. Go and find the paragon. Place your hands on his chamber, and the Klaxxi will channel their whispers through you to break him free.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Amber Is LifeDread Wastes · Level 30-35

    In order for our efforts against the mantid empire to continue, we require more amber. There is a great deposit of amber underneath the lake to the south, but the area is inhabited by a savage saurok tribe. I cannot spare anyone else. You must go to the lake and test the tribe's strength.
