Making of a Monster

Making of a Monster is a quest for level 80 in Azj-Kahet. It is step 5 of 10 in the News from Below storyline. It rewards 5,900 experience and money.

Description

We've got a new objective: Figure out what Ansurek's plans are for this... thing.

We'll find our answers inside the laboratory of the Grand Splicer. I'd bet my blades on it.

I scouted a maintenance hatch on the roof that you can grapple up to. Y'tekhi brewed up some weird concoction that they claim will get us the proper clearance once inside. Yuck.

Meet you in there.

You know that's something is wrong with the quest's in-game cinematic the moment you see the "Blizzard Entertainment Presents" line.
Like, this is extremely odd and immersion-breaking thing to show right in the middle of a story campaign.

But not only that - it even ENDS WITH A WOW LOGO (I swear, I was half-expecting to see a freaking release date).

And then - completely out of the blue - an accompanying NPC somehow comes up with a plot twist that never even implied in the cinematic.

It's obvious that there should've been an entirely different scene. Fast forward to Oct, 3rd and it's still not fixed.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Lab AccessAzj-Kahet · Level 80

    As much as I adore skulking in the shadows, the juiciest intel is going to be inside the laboratory of the Grand Splicer. Of course you'll need the proper pheromones once you're in, but we can take care of that with a little biological forgery.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Queen's ChainsAzj-Kahet · Level 80

    Ansurek... that worm, that witless, gutless little-- <Y'tekhi growls under their breath, struggling to maintain their composure.> If this is what's become of Neferess, we must free her. She is still our queen. My mistress will know what to do.
