Tried doing it by entering before I talked to Warden Alturus and could not get the quest completed after I killed the bad guy. Had to leave, talk to the Warden and then re-enter, kill the bad guy again and then I got the yellow ? to finish the quest. Make sure you talk to the Warden before entering the gates.

1. By Any Means
• Accept the quest, By Any Means, from [npc=103156] at coords 65.4, 67.4 (Outside [zone=7777] in [zone=7502]).
• Speak with [npc=96313], and convince him to allow you entry into [zone=7777].
• Enter [zone=7777], and follow [npc=96313] to a prisoner's cell near 51.1, 31.7 (upper level).
• As [npc=94731] comes out of his cell, he will knock you back to the ground level where you must fight him.
• After [npc=94731] is defeated head to the exit of [zone=7777], and turn in the quest to [npc=103156].

So when I did this quest I was qued for a 5 man. It would make me go into the 5 man of the zone instead of the scenario you need for the quest. Just thought I would let anyone else know if you're banging you head on your desk like I was wondering why you can't finish this. Hopefully by the time it goes live they have that fixed.

Description

We need to find out Varedis' location from the eredar inside this prison - the kind warden and his men here are all that stand in our way. We'll take them on together if need be - whatever it takes.

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.

  • Making ArrangementsLevel 10-45

    Do you recall Varedis, <name>? He was once our lead trainer, but fell with the Black Temple years ago. ...or so we thought. Kor'vas spotted the traitor alongside the Legion... wielding glaives imbued with power unlike anything she'd ever seen.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The HuntLevel 10-45

    You must lead this hunt, <name> - a small force will join you to ensure Varedis meets his end. You must try to make it into Varedis' hold undetected; the less time you spend in Legion territory the better. Meet at Krasus' Landing when you are prepared to leave.
