The Caliginous Bethel
Level: 35
Type: Solo
Starts With: Aurten Rhell
Starts At: 39.5N, 75.5W in Bluespire
Repeat: 20 Hours
Contracts: Contract for The Caliginous Bethel

Overview

Help Aurten Rhell investigate the strange incidents on the Marescent Plateau.

  • Warning: If you're doing this quest as part of the 50-100 Contracts Quest, then you must give the Repugnant Bracelet to Aurten Rhell in Bluespire for the contract to display as complete. You cannot do this once it has been cleaned.

Walkthrough & Notes

Part 1: Cultist Altar

  1. Head to the Marescent Plateau and search for a randomly spawning Cultist Altar. Wait for your group to join you at the altar, then use it.
  2. Kill the creatures that spawn from the altar until you finally kill a Dark Vapor, which will spawn a portal to the Caliginous Bethel. Enter the portal.
    • Note: If The Black Breath is one of the creatures you have to kill, you will need a mage of considerable ability to bring it down. Solo low/mid-level melee/archer players will find themselves unable to make a dent in The Black Breath's health unless they use the Curse of Raven Fury spell to attack it.

Part 2: Caliginous Bethel

  1. Optional: From the drop, turn around and pick up the Note on the floor (lore only).
  2. Work your way North until you find a large room with a caged NPC named Twitch inside. Take the West hallway and go straight up the ramp.
  3. At the top of the ramp, take a left, and follow the hallway to a ramp down. At the bottom of the ramp, in the adjacent room, the room is blocked by a Reinforced Door door on either side, destroy the door and pick up Jaeget's Journal from the floor.
  4. Backtrack to the hallway just before the entrance to the large room with Twitch in it. Take the south passage down the ramp, take your first left, then run straight until you dead end into a wall (which is actually a lever activated door).
    • Note: To open this door, 1 person must take a right at the split and then the first left up the ramp. The lever is in the room at the top of the spiral staircase.
  5. Once through the wall/door, work your way until you reach a room with a deep pit. Jump down and pick up Bewren's Journal from the ground.
  6. Use the floor-activated lever to open a hidden door inside the pit and continue down the hallway until you reach a large room with many shadows and an NPC named Proselytic Shadow.
  7. Each person must loot a Repugnant Bracelet from the corpse of a Lesser Shadow Wretch, of which there are several in this area.
  8. Once everyone has a Repugnant Bracelet, go to the Ithaenc Cathedral and pick up the Well Bucket at 82.6S, 93.6E.
    • Optional: If you don't want your bracelet, hand it to Aurten Rhell for a Writ of Refuge. You must choose this reward if you're completing the quest as part of the 50-100 contract.
  9. Use the Well Bucket on Adja's Well to obtain Water of Ithaenc.
  10. Use the Repugnant Bracelet on the Water of Ithaenc on to obtain the Refulgent Bracelet.
    • Warning: Do not attempt to use the Water of Ithaenc on the Repugnant Bracelet, you will drink it.
  11. Return the Aurten Rhell in Bluespire and hand him both Bewren's Journal and Jaeget's Journal for random, casino style rewards.
