The respawn rates in all of the cell blocks are obnoxiously high when it comes to everything. Unfortunately, this means wading through an army of demons for this quest and Svarnos. But fortunately, it means that usually you'll find that the shackles respawn near-instantaneously, just like the guards! I can usually get all of my shackles in the room with Svarnos, as there's multiple spawn areas there for them, and they come back so fast. Sometimes just 3 or 4 seconds later you'll find a shackle right where you just picked one up. Otherwise, just try and pick one of the small cell rooms or an area near the entrance to reduce the chance of you being overrun by endlessly respawning demons.
Oh, and another thing; if you get stuck in combat (which can happen quite often), people are going to steal your shackles, so you might as well do the same to them. I used to never do this, but these quests can be frustrating enough as it is, so just grab your shackles ASAP and get out of there. It's not worth waiting another minute and potentially getting overrun by respawning enemies.
Finish this quest before the battle starts because the gate will lock and you can not get in until the next day. ( this is all speculation, i am having the issue right now)

Description
Have you been down in the D-Block yet, {name}? Every time we clear that infested cellblock out, the demons seem to return rather quickly. We learned that they regenerate from the cursed shackles scattered around the area. That's where you come in to the picture {name}. I need you to retrieve as many of those shackles as you can and bring them back to me. We will destroy them immediately.
