Description

Ah, I can already see more clearly, <name>.

We are right to be wary of the evil Neferset. I can already sense that they're behind the forces that corrupt the river.

Go underwater once more and find the Murkdeep Cavern. You will find the Neferset are performing a foul ritual of corruption.

Stop them so the river is cleansed once again.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Stopping the SpreadUldum · Level 30-35

    Slaying the foul creatures that plague the river will not be enough, <name>. A new generation of these monstrosities already threatens to spawn within our holy waters. Seek their foul eggs and destroy them.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Root of the CorruptionUldum · Level 30-35

    You might have dealt with the symptoms of our problem, <name>. But I've been studying these foul beasts and the eggs are not laid here by them. The stream from the current carries their eggs to the dam, but whatever is laying them will be found upstream.
