This is a pretty terrible quest and I wish I could skip it. But you don't get Poco back as an assistant until you do it and I need him atm. Not friendly for an alt that is not that well equipped. I know having secured flying you can jump around a bit. But still have to fight elites to get the sigils, and in his trance, Pocopoc doesn't help you anymore either. Costing me a fortune in equipment repair after res sickness. No I could NOT find my body ever, I think I was inside the rocks as I was on the spot it said it was, but there was no offer to resurrect.
Truly HORRIBLE questline
Who thought this would make a fun quest?
You need 180 energy to finish the quest, but your bar only holds 100... If you die, you have to walk 200 yards back. Peaceful mobs randomly turn into aggressive mobs then spawn more mobs right on top of you.
This quest further proves Blizzard doesn't think people play video games for fun.

Description
The cyphers are the key. Each one, a step along the path. You must find them all. Enter the inner chamber. The Prime Locus Arrangement awaits. The first step toward ascension. Toward the vessel.
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.
- Pop Goes the Devourer!
Once... they had purpose. Made for balance. But now... shifted, altered. Disharmonious. They rend the pattern. It cannot continue. Elimination is the only recourse.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Between a Rock & a Rock
<Piles of rock are scattered around the area. The devourers have done enough damage to obscure the cypher you seek. Perhaps one of the nearby servitors could be made to clear the rubble.>

A Means to an End has 11 steps, from Something Wonderful to Arbiter in the Making.
