Description

The demons made a grave error inscribing their secrets into this book. The fel energy emanating from it is potent.

In the past, when making a demonhunter character ended on max level, this was the point where you chose your specialization.

Now it's redundant, as you get this quest on lvl 11 or 12, and you already have a specialization... So bad...

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Imp Mother's TomeLevel 8-45

    See this giant cave? There's a terrifyingly powerful imp mother inside. But that's not the good part. The good part is what she has. Apparently, she's some kind of keeper of fel secrets. She's in there performing profane Legion rites and scribing them into a book. We need that power!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Cry Havoc and Let Slip the Illidari!Level 8-45

    This is why the Legion fears us. We have the ability to turn their secrets against them and in so doing become stronger than they ever can be.

The storyline at a glance

The Key to Defeating the Legion has 21 steps, from The Invasion Begins to Return to the Black Temple.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Mardum, the Shattered Abyss (21).
