Recommend NOT using Mind Control on the cultists - you get to keep one for a few seconds to fight Dregada but then when you lose control of the minion everything despawns and you have to wait for the quest mob to respawn x.x do not ask me why I did this

[npc=127079] is on the top of the temple.
Respawn is kinda long, so just wait there if you cant see him.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Competitive DevotionZuldazar · Level 10-60

    Okay, I know dis situation is serious, but she gave you de power of her loa? Sounds to me like Loti is more big on recruiting than on dealing with dis blood troll threat. Inside de temple behind me are three guardians. When I walked in dere, de things tried to kill me. Me!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Picking a SideZuldazar · Level 10-60

    Look, dis has gone on long enough, <name>. I am not one to hold a grudge, but I will be damned if I let you double dip with Raal's loa and my own. Time has come to pick a loa. De loa are not de sharing type.
