Quest Log

The Untethered Horror

The Untethered Horror is a quest for level 80 in K'aresh. It is step 4 of 5 in the Diving Into Phase Diving storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in K'aresh at 50.4, 36.3. It rewards money. Completing it counts toward 1 achievement.

Description

Void predators that have recently invaded Untethered Space are a mere annoyance compared to the ancient creatures that traveled here long ago. These primal predators feed on the energies of the remnants of old K'aresh, as well as the unfortunate K'areshi who have fallen into this state of being.

There is one such creature we call Netherdeath that haunts this rock. We have only been able to drive it away. Perhaps you have the skill to end its reign of terror?

Nether Ray will be there even if your quest log doesn't show the quest and/or you had "warbound completed" shown

Apparently you just need to go kill the netherray at the southern tip of the floating island and the quest will complete

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

What Doesn't See YouK'aresh · Level 80
Untethered Space is an arcane phenomenon twisted by creatures of the Void that feed on its energy. Should we ethereals damage our wraps or the brokers their suits, our energy cannot remain intact for long. Then, we fall into this layer of reality, possibly never to return.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Wrapped UpK'aresh · Level 80
Shad'anis has told me about you--a fleshling with the ability to travel to Untethered Space. How do you accomplish such a feat? Wait--let me deduce. It must be those wraps you wear as a cloak. They have been modified by a Reshii Ribbon. I have not seen such a thing since the Devouring War.
