Twisted Hatred

Twisted Hatred is an Alliance-only quest for level 1-30 in Teldrassil. It is step 12 of 29 in the Teldrassil storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Teldrassil at 55.5, 50.0. It rewards 4 reward items, 1 reputation reward and 4,100 experience.

Description

I must warn you, <name>, this matter must stay between us. The satyr are enough of an embarrassment to us already, and this one is much too close to home.

He is called Lord Melenas. He resides in the nearby cave of Fel Rock, to the north, where he has gathered a large group of grell warriors. His heart is black as night, and he plots something most foul.

You must find him within his nearby cave just to the north of here, and bring me his head.

You can find the entrance to the cave with the coordinates 54, 52. Melenas is a level 8 Satyr that is just inside up on a ledge. There are many Grells inside the cave, so get a party if you are around level 6 and don't want a lot of hardship.

I also waited around for quite a while as grells respawned and Melenas didn't. And I left and came back and checked and still no Melenas. I did see him the very first time I went in... when he killed me! Someone else came in, killed him, and that was the last I saw of him.

The grells drop a lot of linen, so I was glad I had picked up First Aid before going in. Between killls I made bandages, which was a productive way to wait for mana. It's not a bad idea to kill the nearest grell and then the next nearest, loot the closest, kill the next nearest, loot the closest, etc. Otherwise you may be attacked while looting.

To find Melenas, keep to the right on going into the cave. The cave seems identical to the one in the Orc/Troll starting area. After crossing the water, he's the first ledge on the left. He'll probably be hidden and will emerge when you attack the grell. The second ledge on the left had a treasure chest, so you might do that one first.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Ursal the MaulerTeldrassil · Level 1-30

    Now the time has come to save the Druids of the Talon. If we fail now, <name>, they will be forever lost in sleep. I shall prepare the Relics of Wakening and perform the ritual. For my work to take effect, the cursed beast responsible for this horrible situation must be slain.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Nature's ReprisalTeldrassil · Level 1-30

    I'm glad you were willing to atone for your mistake - it speaks a great deal about your character. I have another task for you. I have gathered some ireroot seeds. They are somewhat like fel cones, but quite a bit more potent.
