Before your start pick up Eldritch Invocations from [npc=126298] since [npc=126184] is in the cave that contains the Western Corrupted Pylon.

1. Eastern Corrupting Pylon

  • Turn your back to quest giver [npc=125922] and walk along the spit towards the large rock with pine trees on top. Walk half way around the edge of the rock, then jump into the water.

  • You'll be directly over the cave entrance.

  • The cursor looks like it's on top of the quest givers.


2. Southern Corrupting Pylon

  • From the cave entrance to the Eastern Corrupting Pylon swim diagonally to the right. This Southern cave is higher up and easier to see.

  • The curser looks like it's on the southern shore, just to the left of the word "Angleport Wharf".


3. Western Corrupting Pylon

  • From the Southern Corrupting Pylon swim diagonally to the left toward the submerged prow of a ship.

  • Pass under the prow and swim over the sunken stern. You'll see the cave entrance.

  • The curser looks like it's on the northern shore (to the left of the quest giver).

  • This cave also contains [npc=126184] who is the object of Eldritch Invocations.

Although you have [spell=250865] that gives you underwater breathing, you can turn yourself into a fish if you have [item=133755].

Scroll through the screenshots to see the underwater entrances.

Description

The sea... I understand its screams now. It is as if a veil has been lifted, revealing the chaos that has taken hold. Corrupting such a vast swath of sea cannot be done with simple spells. The cultists must have erected some sort of structures to channel their dark magics through... You must find and destroy them, {name}. Only then can we hope to restore the waters to balance.

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.

  • Those Aren't Fish EggsTiragarde Sound · Level 10-60

    Corruption has seeped into the sea. Part of our job is to keep the monsters of these parts under control. A cruel magic has taken over many of the beasts. I take the challenge of the hunt with pride, but too many and we are overrun!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Death in the DepthsTiragarde Sound · Level 10-60

    My own people have fallen to the mad whispers of the voices of the deep, deep sea. Cultists inhabit caves in the ocean, spreading hysteria deeper and deeper into Tiragarde with their mad rituals. We must put an end to them, <name>, before they get even more out of hand.
