Quest information[edit]
Objectives[edit]
- Seek out Galrath at the wizard's tower in Kessex Peak. Put an end to his villainy.
- Return to Firstwatch Sergio for your reward.
Reward[edit]
- 30,000 Experience
- 5,000 Gold
Walkthrough[edit]
For the route to Galrath, see the The Villainy of Galrath. He is surrounded by several groups of level 30 bandits. Careful pulling of these mobs is essential to avoid being overwhelmed. Be aware that the mobs tend to aggro simultaneously, so be prepared to conduct long pulls to string them out.
It is possible to engage the bandits from the foot of the cliff, where the path emerges from the northern valley. The main damage-dealers are melee assassins, so this can trim their numbers down with less risk to your party. You can also lure them into Verata's cultists, who are occupying the lower slopes of the hill; the ensuing fight will usually see the cultists quickly defeated, saving you some work in clearing the way to Galrath.
Skill recommendations[edit]
- Bring Frozen Soil to counter the resurrection skills of the bandits.
- Spiteful Spirit works well as the bandits tend to clump on the edge of the hill.
- Galrath's Hundred Blades is vulnerable to Pain Inverter.
- Bring something to counter the powerful bandit healers, e.g. shutdown skills such as Panic, anti-healing such as Lingering Curse, or be able to spike.
- Mirror of Disenchantment will remove Healer's Boon from the monks.
