What to do

<Piles of rock are scattered around the area. The devourers have done enough damage to obscure the cypher you seek. Perhaps one of the nearby servitors could be made to clear the rubble.>
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.
