I couldn't agree more. They need to tone down the mobs on this. If you have even the slightest AOE, you end up aggro-ing almost every mob that appears. It was especially annoying on my monk and my dk. And you can't even see the mobs until they appear, so you have no idea how many are going to come at you. It's ridiculous. The only way I managed to survive is try to avoid almost all AOE or stand outside the locus area and try to pull carefully. Not to mention that if you die, you have to run nearly 400 yards back through crags, cliffs and hills to find your body again. Uggh.
Wow the aggro is insane. The only way I found this possible was to run just outside the area and pull mobs

Description
It may be possible to extract memories from fragment, but I worry they will not be useful. This is not whole kyrian, but a tiny piece! A weird, broken piece. It cannot even speak! We will apply extractor and see what comes out. Extractor might explode. It might not. For this? Worth the risk, I think. Do not know what will emerge. Could be memories. Could be nothing. Could be something else. May try to fight you! Stay on your guard, yes? Collect all that look Forsworn. Speak when ready.
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.
- The Mnemonic Locus
<Mikanikos examines the scroll you retrieved for him.> Right, right. Soul mirrors and Locus are tied together. If we restore anima to mirrors, it should repair the Locus back to full functionality. Thankfully, the cores you brought should be sufficient. All I need to do is enable conduits. Simple!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Lysonia's Truth
If I had not seen it with my own eyes, I do not know that I would believe such a thing is possible. You carry a significant piece of Lysonia within you, now. Go to the Soul Mirrors and open yourself to them. With luck, they will draw from her essence to draw forth a memory of the Forsworn.
