After freeing Wardruid Loti, she accompanies you through the Zanchuli Traitors, the Walls Have Ears, and Raal quests. If you have a stealth ability, she will stealth also. However, if she/you get too close to NPCs she charges at them with a yell, so try to keep a wide berth around mobs if you are not trying to fight every single thing on the terrace. She also shifts form while fighting, it is quite fun to see her forms and fighting.

That is every comment on this page.

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.

  • Zanchuli TraitorsZuldazar · Level 10-60

    Dey are trying to cast down our loa, claiming dem to be false gods. Dey have turned to de old ways of blood, sacrifice, and subjugation. I cannot even begin to say how offensive dis is. Kill any of dese traitors you find.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • RaalZuldazar · Level 10-60

    Crazzak is a traitor in priest's clothing who thinks if he tortures enough of us it will hurt our loa. Dey even have my husband Raal up on de apex of Zanchul. Normally I would say dey could have him, but dey are using his connection to Pa'ku to weaken de loa. Can't have dat.
