Slaylines

Slaylines is a quest for level 10-54 in Maldraxxus. It is step 4 of 8 in the Archival Protection storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Maldraxxus at 43.1, 25.1. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 11,050 experience and money.

Description

Gaining entrance to the Sepulcher is no easy feat, <name>!

Not only were guardians put in place, but an elaborate magical lock was created to seal the door.

To open the way, the two obelisks which control the lock must be fed anima. Fortunately, there are some empowered crystals in the area we can use for this purpose.

Locate the focus crystals and redirect their anima flow into the obelisks. Then the secrets of the Sepulcher will soon be ours!

Power Crystal East is at 46, 30
You need to click it until the beam hits the crystal at 45, 29.6
Then click that crystal until the beam hits the obelisk at 43.4, 26.8
Then click and activate the obelisk

Power Crystal West is at 42.2, 31.1
Click it until the beam hits the crystal at 43.2, 30.8
Then click that crystal until the beam points NE towards the broken crystal at 44.2, 29.2
That cannot be clicked on but it already points towards the crystal at 43.1, 28.5
Click that crystal until the beam hits the obelisk at 42.7, 27.2
Then click and activate the obelisk

For those who can't get west power crystal to work out :

Click on the power crystal to redirect the beam to the first crystal located at 43.2 / 30.8.

Click on that crystal until it *seems* to send the beam back to the power crystal you activated at the beginning (actually that beam is bugged and invisible : mouse over the last crystal and you will notice it now can be activated).

Then click on the last crystal to activate the obelisk :-)

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Kill Them, Of CourseMaldraxxus · Level 10-54

    These mindless monstrosities hail from the farthest reaches of the Shadowlands. The anima drought has fueled their relentless hunger, driving them to seek new sources. Their presence here is inconvenient, to put it mildly. They tear at the land searching for any anima they can find.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Secrets Among the ShelvesMaldraxxus · Level 10-54

    Now that the door to the Sepulcher is unlocked, we can venture inside. And by "we", I mean "you". Until it's safe, at least. The volumes within contain the collected wisdom of the greatest military minds of Maldraxxus.
