Description

The beacon in Amberglow Hollow seems to have been tampered with. Right before the signal cut out the Klaxxi'va picked up a signal for another paragon nearby.

They believe he is hidden in that wretched little swamp, Duskroot Fen.

I will meet you in the fen to set up a temporary beacon until I can get Amberglow operational again.

You will wake the paragon and then you will help me.

The NPC you need to set free is inside a small amber block, on the ground, behind a large root. You'll see a gear icon on your minimap, and the amber block itself also has a small gear icon above it. Targeting the block itself does nothing; you have to stand next to the block and use the quest item itself.

Coordinates 56,58.

I had the same problem as anafielle's post (unable to see Hisek/ unable to complete quest). I believe the "possible glitch" happens when you're doing the quest as a party, only the 1st person who uses tuning fork proceeds with the animation. I saw the traitor sequence on my wife's screen but not mine. I eventually had to abandon the quest and redo - phasing/ leaving zone did not work. A second glitch happened even after I did the traitor sequence properly - I handed in quest but got no new quests (my wife received 2). This time the phasing in/out of zone worked. My guess is, don't do this quest grouped.
