The easy way to kill the Warstitched forces is to walk around the upper walkway and pick up a [item=180127]. It gives you a button to use it, in the middle of your screen. Target the mob, chuck the javelin at it, and it one-shots the mob. Pick up another javelin and continue.

That is every comment on this page.

Vyraz's assault on the House of Constructs may have failed, but we can still make them bleed now that we're inside. Slaughter as many as you can. I will hunt down the masterminds behind these new production efforts.

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.

  • A Burden Worth BearingMaldraxxus · Level 10-54

    Mevix may be here for blood, but what I want is to spare my fallen kin from a terrible fate. Most of my fellow kyrian were either slain in combat or shortly after arriving here. If their corpses were bound for this pit, then perhaps we can recover them before they are thrown into it.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Breaking Down BarriersMaldraxxus · Level 10-54

    As I suspected, Stitchflesh's assistants are carrying on his work. Whatever they're building, we need to destroy it. They've secured the chamber with a soul barrier and several bile spewers. We must find a way through! Thales said he may have a suggestion.
