[edit] Quest information

[edit] Prerequisites

• Uncharted Territory

[edit] Objectives

• Stave off the assault of Abaddon's forces in Nightfallen Jahai.

[edit] Reward

• 4,500 Experience
• 400 Gold
• 100 Lightbringer Points
• Inscribed Secret

[edit] Walkthrough

Go into Nightfallen Jahai from the Gate of Torment and wait for the demons to come. They will come in 4 waves. The third wave consists of multiple Arm of Insanity demons plus a boss generically labelled as a Blade of Corruption (you can recognize the boss status by the color). The final wave contains several Rain of Terror plus another generic boss labelled as a Shadow of Fear. In each wave, it is imperative to bring down the spellcasters first, since they can cause the most trouble.

If you can use minions or a tank as a barrier between each wave and the heart of your party, keeping them at a distance, this mission is a lot easier than otherwise. Also, the monoliths to your right as you enter the area will inevitably be pulled into the fight at some point, so you may as well pull them over early, either before the waves start or at least during the early, easier waves. As ever, your lightbringer skills and title will be invaluable.

Tip: During the quest The Oddbodies, you will have 6 extra allies who can make the difference against the 3 waves of demons without dying. Just be careful to take down each wave as quickly as possible.

[edit] Dialogue

[edit] Initial dialogue

Keeper Jinyssa

[Difficulty:Master]

"I wonder, fleshy one, what your purpose is here... But, now is not the time for trivial contemplation."

"Our scouts...those that managed to make it back...have told us that Abaddon's forces are on the move. Waves of his troops march on our location as we speak. If we are to mount a counter-offensive, then we must not falter here! Will you lend us your aid?"

Accept: "Abaddon's minions march to their defeat!"

Decline: "Abaddon's minions? I'm marching outta here."

When asked about quest: "Death marches toward us, friend. Abaddon's legions will not turn back. Hold fast, friend!"

[edit] Reward dialogue

Keeper Jinyssa

"You have bought us a moment of reprieve. There is no time to rejoice, however. We must prepare for the battles that yet lie ahead."

[edit] Trivia

• The quest title is a reference to the song "Breaking the Broken", by Sparta.
