Can I free a caged betrayer without a crackling energy vessel? No? Then why in the name of all that is holy is "crackling energy vessel collected" marked as optional? Is there anybody at Blizzard even capable of understanding English? Stop putting an "optional" behind things that are very much mandatory!
That is every comment on this page.

What to do
Description
The betrayers are being held in stasis chambers. I've seen these cages before. Their design is efficient but fragile. They will fail with the slightest energy variation. Find crackling energy vessels strewn about and heave them at the stasis chambers. With true aim, you will disable them and free the betrayers.

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.
- Eating Their Own
The Shadowguard seem to have no qualms caging and torturing their own kind. The last thing I want is more violence amongst the people of K'aresh, but better them than us. Disrupt their operation by subduing some of the Shadowguard.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Bursting at the Seams
Veraan... alive... <Kifaan shakes his head in disbelief.> I've spent countless hours running this moment through my head, but now that it's here, I find myself grasping for words... The Shadowguard attempted to raise Dimensius to power... they've sworn fealty to Xal'atath as she wages war on worlds.
