The Demon Portals are lavender, stone arcs near the ruins. Warning. When you start to banish the portal a Level 34 demon will appear and attack you. The portal is banished when the demon dies. Surprise! I turned into a Fel Demon for a minute! Nice!

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.

  • Infernal EncroachmentDesolace · Level 10-30

    Listen up, now. An' lookie here. <Thargad points off to the east.> Yeh see them big green glowin' balls that be fallin' from the sky? Those be a nasty buncha demons roamin' the lands unchecked. Well, almost unchecked... I've been keepin' 'em on their toes, givin' 'em sumthin' ta think about.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Hunting BrendolDesolace · Level 10-30

    I'm too busy collectin' artifacts to busy myself with much else, but there is a bit of an issue here I wouldn't mind sortin' out. There's a forsaken apothecary who's been pokin' around these parts for a while now.
