Quests - What order?

Post by Soozie »

Help, could someone tell me the best order to do these quests?

Staroxia's Shadow Ruins

Valkyra's Tomb of Souls

Vartugg's Vale of Ruins

I've already met Grymlock and got the Crystal from the Sea of Woe.

Soozie,

I'm not sure what this Valkyara's quest is but the one that Vartugg sends you on will eventually lead you to the tomb of souls. So perhaps you could kill two birds with one stone.
also, you'll find some very nice items in the tombs of souls which could definately help out when fighting your way through the shadow ruins.

Thanks, Darkpark. The Valkyara's Quest involves speaking some secret words to the Watcher and bargaining with Voraata in the Tomb of Souls. I haven't a clue how I got that quest, except after I freed Valdane in Naga it appeared. At what point I'm not sure.

Okay, so Tomb of Souls it shall be. In the meantime, I am in Arindale. Thought I might do some Fire Drake hunting at their egg nests, then explore Lake Lore and Hadeon for some xp's.

Thanks again.

come to think of it, the quest for valkara is the part of vartugg's quest. you have to get to the vale of ruin, find the unhold arc (alter), place the vial of valdane's blood there and wait for a messenger. once you meet the messenger you'll be given a password so that you can enter the tomb of souls.
also note that there is a aweful bug when placing the vial of blood on the alter and waiting for the messenger to arrive. often the messenger gets stuck in the trees on the way to the alter. what you have to do is save prior to placing the vial on the alter and search the skies. if you see a flying humanoid just floating in the sky and flapping its wings than reload and try again.

Okay, so that's why the Watcher tells me begone. So it's off to the Vale of Ruins.

Thanks, Darkpark and for the warning.

Once you've completed Vartugg's quest, there are three dungeons you could go to: Shadow Ruins (good for experience), Tomb of Souls (good for equipment), and the Draedoth Temple (where I haven't been yet but which contains a useful relic).

The Shadow Ruins is sort of a pain. I'd recommend you go to that one last.

for me, it's a toss up between the draedoth temple and the tomb of souls. the relic you get from the temple is very useful but you also get a lot of nice items in the tomb.

Well I figure I'm here in the Vale of Ruins, so might as well go for the Draedoth.

I just finished with the messenger and as Game Banshee's walkthrough suggests if you walk to the shoreline and sort of guide her to the Unholy Arch she will come down and speak.

Another odd thing is that before I even went to the Vale of Ruins my log mentions:

Valkyra: Travel to the Tomb of Souls and speak the words 'AVAT DEMONICUM' before the Watcher to enter and bargain with Voraatus.

Now that I've placed the vial and spoken to her, that entire log entry has disappeared. There, now, is no mention of it ... I hope this doesn't mean there will be a problem when I finally get back to the Watcher.

I have no idea how I got the original Valkyra entry to begin with. I would think the entry would have appeared after I talked with the Messenger.

You get Valkyra's quest at the same time you get Vartugg's quest to go to the Unholy Arc (and meet Valkyra). It's a bug. You should be ok when you go to the Tomb of Souls.

Thanks, SWC, I was hoping that was the case.
