I was just trapped but not brought to the elders, leaving me permanently caged. If the quest fails for this reason, you can drop the quest, the cage will be removed and you can go back to reclaim the quest and try again.

It's a little tricky getting the trap to work properly. I go tentatively up to the gate (where the quest-marked circle is) until Pelagos gets trapped, and then a little bit more until I get trapped. If you go too fast, you don't get trapped and the quest doesn't progress. Oh please, trap me! Trap me!

Description

Firim described these Enlightened brokers unfavorably. Then again, he does seem a bit... eccentric. Regardless, if we are to restore contact with our comrades in Oribos and defeat the Jailer, we will need allies in Zereth Mortis. The Mawsworn look to be gathering outside the gates of Haven. We must not let any more innocents fall prey to the Jailer's villainy. Hopefully the Enlightened will welcome our aid. After you, my friend.

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.

  • The Road to HavenZereth Mortis · Level 60

    I did not expect to encounter a living mortal and a kyrian this day, but your assistance has been valuable. Before I begin my studies of this automa core, I will guide you to Haven, the settlement founded by my expedition upon our arrival.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Destroying the DestructorsZereth Mortis · Level 60

    The Mawsworn possess terrible weapons that gather dark magic and hurl it against our gates. The defensive barrier around Haven will not hold much longer. All that we are, all that we hold dear, will soon be erased from existence. If you are who you claim to be, then prove it to us.
