Description

While I examine these samples further, I ask that you seek out one of our patrols in the structure to the north. It appears they've captured one of the demons. Go, interrogate it. Find out anything you can. And hurry! I'm afraid time is no longer an ally.

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.

  • Reclaiming the RampartsDeadwind Pass · Level 45

    With the ley lines protected we must move to secure the tower's perimeter. Around the tower are several locations where corruption continues to run rampant. Seek out these locations and secure them with these wards.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Demon in DisguiseDeadwind Pass · Level 45

    While you were... working your magic on that demon, I was able to make headway in distilling the corrupted essences down to a simpler, more manageable form.
