[edit] Walkthrough
Start at Gate of Secrets. After walking out in the Domain of Secrets, speak to Kormir. Start following the arrow but be careful not to aggro more than one group at a time. Try not to get trapped between two groups. When out of the ruins, avoid the Titans if possible and make your way to Ahtok. Once there, you must rescue him from the attacking Margonites. If he dies you will have to restart the quest. Talk to him; after a cut-scene you will find yourself at Gate of Madness.
[edit] Dialogue
[edit] Initial dialogue
Keeper Halyssi
- "While I do not know where the temple lies, I have noticed increased Margonite activity within the Domain of Secrets recently. It may be nothing or it may be Abaddon marshaling forces at the temple. I told all of this to that other Sunspear scout who came through here before you. He rushed off on his own to search for the temple. I tried to stop him, but he seemed... determined. Perhaps you should go find him. The Domain of Secrets is where Abaddon keeps his darkest and most terrible secrets, which no man should behold alone. I fear he may already be lost."
- Accept: " We'll find him."
- Decline: "We need more backup first."
- When asked about quest: "Your Sunspear scout went into the Domain of Secrets in search of the temple. You should find him before Abaddon's forces do."
[edit] Intermediate dialogue
Kormir
- "<name>, we should hurry. This place is everything the keeper said it was... horrible beyond belief. And he was right about the increased activity. Something big is happening here. What was that scout thinking? A lone Sunspear wouldn't last long here. We must find him as soon as possible. Then we can all look for the temple together."
[edit] Intermediate dialogue 2
- Scout Ahtok: "Kormir! Help me!"
- Kormir: "Ahtok needs help! Sunspears... to arms!"
- Scout Ahtok: "Whew! That was close."
- Ahtok
[Character Name]! Kormir! Am I glad to see you! You got here just in the nick of time, it seems. Keeper Halyssi sent you? Thank the gods. I followed a Margonite patrol right to the entrance of that lost temple he mentioned, but I got pinned down and couldn't find a safe route out. The temple is heavily guarded. From what I can tell, Abaddon's generals have gathered a large portion of their forces there for some uncertain purpose. If we wish to enter the temple, we'll have a hard fight ahead of us.
It's all or nothing!
- Are you sure you're ready to move on? This could get dangerous.
- We are ready. (sent to Gate of Madness (cinematics))
We are not ready yet.
[edit] Reward dialgue
Runic Oracle
- "The temple you seek can be found here, but entering it will not be easy."
[edit] Notes
- Try not to bring minion masters on this quest since the minions tend to aggro more than 1 group at a time.
- This quest can be easily done with heroes and henchman only. A team of 3 Warriors, 3 healers, 1 elementalist (Cynn), and yourself is sufficient to deal with the Margonite groups.
- While in this area, your party suffers from Veiled Nightmare - skills cost 40% more Energy to activate.
- Do not walk into the portal near Ahtok as it brings you to Gate of Madness. If you do so, you'll have to repeat the quest.
- You may consider doing Escape from the Torment quest since it is in the same area.
- If you select to help Scorch Emberspire with A Flickering Flame and it's follow-up quest Dismember the Titans, he will accompany you, but not help in any way, nor does he take any damage.
[edit] Trivia
- The title of the quest could be a reference to the "Alone in the Dark" game series or possibly a reference to Babylon 5 in which the last line of the opening dialog was "10,000 tons of spinning metal...all alone in the dark."
