The Cipher of Balthazar

Help Kerrsh research the human gods.

Objectives

 * Use the Divination to locate the Facet of Destruction.
 * You are currently carrying the Divination.
 * Defeat the Facet of Destruction to obtain its cipher.
 * See Kerrsh for your reward.

Reward

 * 100 Asura Reputation Points

Walkthrough
As with the other Facets, the location in the zone is randomized (see Facet of Destruction). This Facet can be found anywhere within the Verdant Cascades. Divination refers to the bar labeled "Proximity to Target" which fills as you approach the Facet's location. Once you find a location where the proximity bar is filled, wait and look around to see a circle of light, signaling the Facet is coming out of hiding. Defeat the Facet to complete the quest.
 * It is possible to complete this quest with little effort - keep zoning into Verdant Cascades from Umbral Grotto until the bar is slightly filled - then head east and then south.

NPCs

 * 28 Facet of Destruction &rarr; Gladiator's Defense

Initial dialogue
Kerrsh
 * ''"To the Asura, there are no gods. There is only Eternal Alchemy. It is the greater scheme of existence of which we are all a part. Your gods are pieces within this design, their manifestation mere facets in the geometric whole.


 * There is more to be learned, more facets to uncover. There are yet signatures I do not possess. Take the Divination with you. The Facet of Destruction, a manifestation of Balthazar's power, has appeared in the Verdant Cascades. Destroy it, and return its cipher to me." 

Reward dialogue
Kerrsh
 * "The wavelength patterns here are clearly different from the first cipher. But what does it mean? Perhaps the answer lies in that which is alike, or that which is different. I require more ciphers before it will become clear. There is more for you to do, [character name]. But for now, take this compensation."
