Description

Friend now is ready to perform the ritual! Remember, friend, the skull must be convinced that it is in its best interest to be in your possession. If we must force the skull into your servitude, it would be far weaker.

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.

  • Ritual ReagentsLevel 10-45

    The Skull of the Man'ari, oh good choice! It's very powerful and it's held by an even more powerful Dreadlord! There is a weakness, the skull has a will of its own! If we can commune with the skull we might be able to convince it to serve you instead!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Dark WhispersLevel 10-45

    Felsoul Hold is not far away, but it is well defended. Very tough to get in the normal way, but Calydus can help you sneak in! There is a portal that my kind use to haul in treasures, with it you can get in and find the skull!
