Quest Log

Untangling the Sigil

Untangling the Sigil is a quest for level 60 in Korthia. It is step 14 of 15 in The Last Sigil storyline. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 8,150 experience and money.

Description

The Primus's sigil is bound together with the magic of memory. It reminds me of something you have encountered before.

You made an ally of the Runecarver, that poor soul trapped in the bowels of Torghast. He took those memories you found and helped you forge them into weapons and armor.

Perhaps he can separate the sigil from this tangle of memories.

It's our best chance to secure the sigil. But the way will be perilous.

If you go to Runecarver's Oubliette and The Primus is still there (so you're stuck on the "Sigil brought to the Runecarver" step), make sure you are not still on the Zereth Mortis quest Reality's Doorstep and the Runecarver should return to where he belongs.

This quest is the single most stupid instance I have ever had to do as the Player. What kind of special are you to bring the thing the Jailer wants the most into a place where he can literally see and sense everything. That should have been a hard shutdown by everyone, but Bolvar slips it by saying there is no other way. Better plan, find a way to take the Runecarver out of Torghast, go from there.

Seriously if Bolvar isn't being influenced he is honestly dumber than Sylvanas is.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Into the VaultKorthia · Level 60

    The destruction here is... overwhelming. <Tal-Galan quietly utters a prayer.> Anima flows into what remains of the vault. We should now be able to enter. Once inside, I will work on recovering the Primus's sigil. Please show reverence within the vault.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Primus ReturnsKorthia · Level 60

    The Jailer has four of the five sigils required for what he is planning. He is a fool for allowing us to live. His desire to see us bend to his will shall be his undoing. All is not lost, if you are willing to put in the work. There is still something that can be done. Come.

The storyline at a glance

The Last Sigil has 15 steps, from Vault of Secrets to The Primus Returns.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Korthia (14), The Runecarver's Oubliette (1).
