You'll Know It When You See It (Alliance)

You'll Know It When You See It is an Alliance-only quest for level 10-30 in Desolace. It is step 5 of 63 in the Desolace storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Desolace at 66.7, 10.9. It rewards 4,100 experience and money.

Description

With his dying breath, Kohor mentioned the summoning of a demon that could threaten the entire region.

He may have been bluffing, but that's not a chance worth taking.

This cannot wait for the Alliance's invasion of Desolace to take shape. You must scour Thunder Axe Fortress for clues and bring an end to this potential threat.

If this quest bugs out for you - as it did for me - and you don't automatically pick it up after killing Kohor? You can head back to Captain Pentigast to pick it up. Better than just killing Kohor over and over, hoping that it fixes it.

Not that I did that, of course. That...that would be silly.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Peace of MindDesolace · Level 10-30

    We are a forward post, charged with monitoring potential adversaries. Once the Alliance launches its Desolace campaign, our work here will ensure that there are no surprises. Recently, one of our scouts was caught and sacrificed by the Burning Blade at their stronghold to the west.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Putting Their Heads TogetherDesolace · Level 10-30

    So it's true.... The parchment you discovered in Thunder Axe Fortress details a powerful summoning ritual. One stronger than the Burning Blade have ever been known to possess. Clearly, this rite must be stopped at all costs!
