Walkthrough & Notes

Wolves were reported entering the cave with Ramshar, not wargs, but the perennial "warg versus wolf" debate can be resolved here by positing that the corruption of the crystals caused the wolves to change species to wargs. Ramshar is in the southwest part of the cave While their defeat is not required for quest objectives, non-named Crystal-encrusted Wargs and Crystal-enraged Wargs are frequently in the way of the crystals. Characters with strong AoE capability may consider pre-emptively pulling them to the crystals and then destroying wargs and crystal alike with AoE attacks. Note for Burglars: the crystals do have a "front" and a "back", but are (obviously?) not able to be turned around with Diversion. The direction of the crystal's "front" is identified by the tallest shard of the cluster; for maximum positional damage, attack the opposite side of that. After completing your objectives, there is a limited time (2 minutes) before you will be automatically ejected from the instance. You need to find and open the "Mission Reward" chest before this happens. Defeating more enemies does not reset the timer!

Rewards
A "Mission Reward" chest containing: about 250   between 1 and 3  Gundabad Mountain-marks 0 or 1  Relic of Gundabad
