When you're on this quest, be sure to go to the Soul engine (63.6 23.6) and kill [npc=97058]. He drops [item=128948].

And also go to [npc=97370] (68.6 27.8), he drops [item=128947].

Just around the corner (and with stars visible on your map), so easy upgrades

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.

  • Hidden No MoreLevel 8-45

    Now that you've uncovered the demons, I can sense them, too. Specifically, I sense a very powerful fel lord deeper in the cave. You need to grab his power while you still can. If you can deal with their leader, we will take care of the rest of his forces in that cave.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Their Numbers Are LegionLevel 8-45

    Yes, those devastators must be silenced, but there's also a great deal more to be done. Despite the odds, we're counting on you. The Brood Queen's primary leaders are in control of the volcano. They must be killed. We must smash the Legion and do anything else necessary to achieve absolute victory.
