[2.2] Part 1, Chapter 2: The Mage's Tutor
===========================================
When you returned to Burk at the Outpost, you learned that the
same grandmaster mage who tutored Kanred was there while you
were gone.
Thinking it likely that this may be the Dark Wizard's latest
disguise, you immediately set off to find him.
Objectives:
* Use Kanred's staff on the magic sealing the cave in the Blighted hills.
* Find and confront Kanred's tutor.
* Defeat the Morden Gral rogue mage.
* Speak to Sentinel Kirani to get directions to Aman'lu.
Back at the Dryad Outpost, talk to Yoren about the clue you found and then
add him to your party. Teleport to Blasted Valley (North) and head almost due
west to one of the blocked caverns you passed by earlier. With Kanred's staff,
you can now go through into the cave. Deeper in will be a north branch; at
the end of the branch you'll see a glowing book on the floor. Click it and
choose to pick it up, entering "The Ancient Tome" quest into your journal.
Go back to the teleporter and jump ahead to Blighted Hills (North). Go north,
over the bridge, then turn east and find the Abandoned Mine you explored
earlier. Go to the corner where you found the clue and Yoren will find a
secret door. Click the now glowing symbol on the wall to open the door. Pick
up the glowing book inside to get an update to the Lost Dwarves.
That's all you can do with Yoren right now, so return to the Outpost if you
want to replace him. While you're at the Outpost, find Mage Nari in the
northeast sector, across from the Innkeeper. Talk to her to fill in "The
Ancient Tome". Return to the Blighted Hills (North) teleporter and open the
cave entrance to the east.
Follow this Dusty Cavern until you enter the Kelvaran Waste. You will quickly
come to a teleporter (Kelvaran Waste West) with a dryad nearby. Talk to the
dryad, Jorena, to open "Greylok of the Kurgan". Then continue into the Waste.
Along the way, before you reach the next teleporter, you'll find a camp of
peaceful Morden. Speak to their leader, Lorksul, to open the "Morden
Redemption" quest. Continue east until you reach the Kelvaran Waste (Central)
teleporter. Jump back to the Dryad Outpost and find the dryad quartermaster
in the northeast corner. She'll give you some poisoned bread.
Teleport back to Kelvaran Waste (Central). Go south to find a Ravager camp
and depopulate it. At the extreme southern end is a mini-boss fight with a
lot of minions. Get up on the platform the mini-boss is on (or was on, if he
jumped down to fight you). There are doors in the east and west walls that
will lead up to the platform. Grab the vial of blood.
Return north to the teleporter and then head west to the peaceful Morden camp.
Talk to Lorksul. You can give him the poisoned bread, or not, it makes no
difference in the final outcome. He'll then ask you to obtain a vial of the
Overmage's blood. Lucky you! You already have it. Give it to him, watch the
cutscene, then talk to him again to end the quest.
Continue east through the Waste. You're now looking for a plateau to the
north of the main path. Up on the plateau is a cave entrance that you can't
enter and a glowing trap on the ground out front. Click the trap to place the
meat you got from Jorena and you will be swarmed by Kurgan. Kill them,
including the mini-boss, Greylok.
Then go east some more to your Chapter 2 boss fight against Kikrak. This
fight is almost identical to the one against Kanred, except Kikrak has a
Familiar. Kill the Familiar first (you have to kill it twice, and watch for
the explosion after you kill it the first time). Make sure you run away when
Kikrak teleports inside your party. After the Familiar is dead, Kikrak
himself should be a piece of cake.
Walk back to the Kelvaran Waste (East) teleporter nearby and teleport to
Kelvaran Waste (West). Talk to Jorena to end the Greylok quest, then teleport
back to the Dryad Outpost.
