Quest Log

The Imposter

The Imposter is a quest for level 45. It is step 9 of 11 in the Saga of the Shadowblade III storyline. It rewards 1 reward item, 9,200 experience and money. Completing it counts toward 6 achievements.

Description

Detheroc has SI:7's finest snipers on all of the rooftops. We can't mount up and we can't fly. There are grapple points above so that we can move up the cliff.

We've also setup hay bales to hide in along the likely routes to SI:7. We just need to stealth in and kill Detheroc.

Once we get up there, we'll separate to increase the chances of at least one of us making it through the city.

Good luck, <name>.
