Description

I fear if our presence is known, so too is the presence of our comrades.

We must develop a contingency. With the foundry on such high alert, we cannot sneak about undetected.

Unless, of course, you were to provide a distraction. Perhaps thinning their numbers would suffice.

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.

  • Follow MeMaldraxxus · Level 60

    Assuming the others are in position, we are prepared to steal the necropolis. You and I must push forward to rendezvous with Ansid. Khaliiq will regroup with Vyn once their tasks are complete. Come along, <name>, and stay near. I will shroud the both of us in shadow, so long as you are at my side.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Set Me FreeMaldraxxus · Level 60

    Ansid has been captured and imprisoned by the foundry's guards. It seems they were expecting us, completely shattering the element of surprise. My baroness would be disappointed in my lack of foresight. This plan cannot succeed without Ansid.
