Objectives

Drain the anima from the Forsworn Barrier Sources.

• Southern Barrier Source drained
• Northern Barrier Source drained
• Eastern Barrier Source drained

Description

We can alter the crown to expunge Denathrius's corruption in the medallions.

Problem, Forsworn have set large barrier protecting the temple. Only there can Denathrius's influence be truly broken.

Drain the anima from the barrier's sources that power it. Barrier will disappear.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 25 74
• 8,150 XP

Completion

Excellent work.

Barrier around the temple is gone. To fix the crown, we must go there.

Notes

•  [60REWQ] Disloyal Denizens can be done at the same time as this quest. Draven and Theotar's assistance makes it much easier than usual.

Lowering Their Defenses and  [60] Disloyalty accepted

General Draven says: I will take to the skies to provide support.

Theotar says: I can provide some aid as well. This ward will improve your chances of survival.

You gain an Extra Action Button ability from Draven and a buff from Theotar:

•  Assist — Call down General Draven to the target location.
•  Theotar's Fury — Damage taken reduced by 60%. Damage done increased by 150%. Leech increased by 20%

"Assist" used

Draven crashes to the ground and casts  Smash!, dealing heavy damage and stunning enemies. As he flies away, he may say one of the following:

• General Draven says: Defeated.
• General Draven says: Face your defeat.
• General Draven says: You forgot to look up.
• General Draven says: Your end has come.

Objectives complete

General Draven says: Look! The barrier around the temple is gone. Great work, <name>.

Both quests completed

General Draven says: The barrier around the temple is no more.

Mikanikos says: Then we must move now. The temple is the only way to break the crown from Denathrius's control.
