In the past, you received the ability [spell=198013] for this quest. As that is now a specialization ability (I think that's the reason) so now you get [spell=258920].

Kinda lame with the quest name... but what's another loose end extra Blizzard will never fix...

Besides quest rewards, there are 7 easy to miss blue gear drops in Mardum including a Strength/Agility buff item and a 28 slot bag. You may want collect these as you progress through Mardum. YOU CANNOT RETURN to this region once you complete the quest Return to the Black Temple.

Links to the buff item, bag, and 5 gear items found in chests or dropped by rare NPC's in Mardum:
[item=129192] (AT THIS QUEST - chest near Inquisitor Baleful in the Molten Shore)
[item=128946] (chest in the Cryptic Hollow at 55, 58 near Fel Lord Caza)
[item=128947] (drop from King Voras near the Doom Fortress)

Description

This demon has proved less than useful. I have been using the Scythe of Souls on it, but so far, it has resisted my inquiries. We will see how long that lasts. I have a different idea... There is a fresh inquisitor demon ahead. They are horrific fel casters who see through their floating eyes and specialize in dark pacts. If you steal its power, Jace Darkweaver could use some of it in his ritual to spy on the Legion. Better yet, you will gain its power by ripping it from its smoking corpse.

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.

  • Set Them FreeLevel 8-45

    Cyana went down to the Molten Shore. She was going to help some of the demon hunters who came in through the gateway ahead of us. Instead, she got herself into trouble. This inquisitor revealed they're being held prisoner by some new type of demon called a 'jailer'.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Meeting With the QueenLevel 8-45

    We can use some of that essence to complete my ritual. You'll be able to spy upon the Legion leaders and see what they're planning. Use the nether crucible and complete the ritual.
