Ra'ka Bloodspear is on the boat. Mini map shows Ra'ka is on boat but actually spawns between the two boats at 59,99 and walks to boat. If your server is busy camp out at spawn spot. For some reason I was not able to just tag this one - I had to initiate combat to get credit.

Captain Killrath is in the hut on the beach. Entrance to hut is 61.9, 94.8 – he had a pillager with him. Was actually a tough fight – no issues, just took a while to kill him.

Assistant Fexfuse was in the main garrison if you will – 60.7, 93.6 – I was able to tag this one. Someone else started and I got credit for it.

Description

This pathetic excuse for life sold out all of his companions. All it took was a little squeeze of the neck. Find the leaders of this operation and bring me their heads. Haratha will accompany you on your quest.

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.

  • Releasing RylakLevel 40

    These goblins have been conducting horrible experiments on the rylaks. This fool gave me the location for three of their prized experiments. Set these mutated rylaks free. Maybe freedom will help these tortured souls find some peace in life.

After this quest

  • Rylak RescueLevel 40

    I managed to squeeze even more information out of our little friend here. The Darktide Matriarch is at the top of the hill. One of their lead engineers is attempting to tame the matriarch with his technology. We must stop him, <name>.
