Knocking On Death's Door

Knocking On Death's Door is a quest for level 60 in Zereth Mortis. It is step 6 of 15 in the Starting Over storyline. It rewards 8,150 experience and money.

Description

This is it, mortal. The forces you have assembled should be enough to break through the Mawsworn and reach the Crypts. Getting inside, however, will require more effort. The Mawsworn have barricaded the entrance.

Kbato will carry you into battle. Eliminate the Mawsworn, and destroy the devices that power the barrier.

The first of Kbato's abilities [spell=361885] requires Channeling and increases its damage while doing so. But you can greatly improve your damage by DOING IT ALL WRONG!

The ability has no cooldown whatsoever (not even global) and the first tick of damage happens immediately... so, you can simply spam the button over and over to deal massive DPS (around 80k) to any target at range while moving. By comparison, it is vastly faster than channeling and waiting for the ticks. Give it a try!

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.

  • Cleaving A PathZereth Mortis · Level 60

    Maw Walker! My scouts report that the Mawsworn have dominated two automa Oracles to aid them in battle. These Oracles will most certainly predict our strategy and our ultimate goal, if given the chance. We need to eliminate both Oracles before we enter the Crypts.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Unforgivable IntrusionZereth Mortis · Level 60

    Darkness spreads dissonance throughout these halls. Mawsworn drain life from the air, and give only suffering in return. This must not be. If the song is to be restored, silence is needed. The Mawsworn must be destroyed.
