  • Loot [item=138301] from [npc=108096]
    They usually are dead because it is world quest and the respawn timer is low.
    So wait in the area near the cages.

  • Use [item=138301] on cages.

I'm stuck at 2/3 people freed because the game doesn't let me open any more cages despite having 3 control orbs (you only need 1 to open a cage)? Quest might be bugged.

Edit: Nvm, there's only CERTAIN cages you can open -_-
