Description

I am not about to question whatever twist of fate led you to me. Your timing could not be better.

This cage was custom built to contain me. There is one key, and of course it is on the armor of that large brute over there.

Vanquish him and take the key. Be swift, the Jailer's eyes are always on this area.

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.

  • Cages For All OccasionsThe Maw · Level 10-59

    Okay, do not lose focus. I can feel Renathal's presence. It is faint but I can sense he is outside of the tower, at least. Come, let's find him and get out of here.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Torghast, Tower of the DamnedThe Maw · Level 10-59

    My allies were taken into the Tower of the Damned, and so we must follow. I do not think we must venture deep into those halls, which is good as I do not believe either of us is in shape for a fight like that. Come, let us find our way to one of the most dangerous towers in all of existence.
