Walkthrough

Once you meet Charen in the North Eastern portion of The Ruptured Heart go south to the shrine where Jirath is waiting. Initially he will be an ally and you will not be able to attack him. Wait for Charen to talk to Jirath without going in Jirath's aggro range or Jirath will flee before he becomes an enemy. If you wait patiently the dialogue will follow and Jirath will start attacking Charen. You must kill him before he kills Charen to successfully complete the quest.

To make things easier you can clear the area of monsters first, optionally using the Junundu. There is a Wurm Spoor close-by.

Bug.If, during your current visit, you have passed near the resurrection shrine where Jirath is, Charen will head directly there (instead of staying with you) and will often get stuck on the way, preventing completion of the quest. If rezoning does not work, you can try abandoning the quest: afterward, return to the Ruptured Heart to pick up the quest again and this time, avoid the shrine until after you speak to Charen.

Dialogue

Initial dialogue

Charen

"What this Margonite scum is doing is reprehensible! We must act if we are to spare other spirits the same fate as my poor Kwalanah. Here is the plan: I will set up a trap for the filthy beast. Once it is snared, you will spring into action!"

"Follow me to the attack location and we'll get started. Remember not to pounce until I give the code word. I'll work the word "cat" into our banter and that will be the signal. So remember, when I say CAT, you do the killing. You are with me, right?"

 Accept: "Of course I'm with you."

 Decline: "Woof!"

 Ask: "Remember, the signal is "cat." Don't make a move until I say it. Let's get into position."

Intermediate dialogue

Charen: "Remember, don't attack him until I give you the code word or you'll chase him off."

Charen: "Hello there, sir. I am so glad you could make it. I understand you provide a rebirthing service, which I am very much interested in."

Rebirther Jirath: "Correct. It is a short procedure. Hold still and you won't feel a thing."

Charen: "Wonderful!! I suppose we should get started then, for you see I do so miss my CAT. I said, I MISS MY CAT...MY CAT. You see, I miss it because...well...it's my CAT! Are you hard of hearing?!?! CAAAAAAAT!"

Reward dialogue

Kwalanah

"Thank you so much for freeing me from the belly of that accursed beast! I was such a fool to think he could grant us a second chance at life. It's not that I'm unhappy. I just wish Charen and I had lived together longer before we met our untimely end. Now I realize that I should be thankful for what I have."
