This quest is more narrative-driven than combat-focused. After the setback in Deferred Advance, the allied forces regroup and Kliff must rally those willing to continue the fight. Speak with your companions at the Greymane Camp and other staging areas. Several dialogue sequences develop character relationships and set the tone for the final confrontation. Once all farewells are complete, the brave depart toward the gate leading deeper into the Abyss.
Tips
Take your time with the dialogue. This quest contains significant character development moments.
Make sure all side preparations (gear upgrades, item stocking) are complete before departing, as there may be limited opportunities to return.
