== Overview ==
When first introduced, the [[Paradox-touched Olthoi Ward Guardian]] was only a nymph. The guardian and the minions in its dungeon have since been upgraded, and it is no longer possible for a character of the intended level range for this quest to kill the guardian. You will instead have to wait until the guardian has been killed in preparation for the [[Aerbax's Prodigal Olthoi|Prodigal Olthoi]] quest.
