Polycrystal says
any news on the last 5 quests
Thundercat says
Additions for all the remaining quests:
Disclaimer: Im lv 67, completed the campaign and play on world tier 4. I did step 1 first. Then i followed this guide and then the last 4 steps in succession for 100% completion.
1. I followed a ghost boy in the swamps to his body. I can’t confirm location as it’s a few days ago so just roam the swamps and look for a blue tinted ghost and your character giving you verbal queues. This led to his body, i looted a dagger off of him and returned it in a town to a crying man looking for his lost boy.
2. Quest: “Hungering Necrolyte’s Cache”
Location: Toxic Fens.
I looted a slain crusader on the ground for the quest starter item.
3. Quest: “Drink to the past”
Location: Rotspill Delta.
Looted “Kingsport Ale” from a chest in close proximity of the dungeon “Belfry Zakara”.
4: Quest “Good Riddance” Location: Rotspill Delta.
Looted “Forgotten crossbow” off a dead body, around 2/3rds up the coast in Rotspill Delta (this took a while).
5: “Quest “overstepping the mark”
Location: From the jewler in Zarbinzet.
This popped up for me last when i travelled there after completing the other 48/49 quests. You buy a “thieves guild emblem” from him and bring it to Lyndon in Backwater.
This concludes the last 5 remaining quests for the zone.
Thanks to the contributing redditors at this post. tinyurl.com/24ykfwzz
Archavia says
Thanks for this, I’ve added them in.
Morgaxx says
+1-ing for “Overstepping the Mark”
I also was only able to see this quest after having 48/49 quests.
rook says
Hungering Necrolyte’s Cache dropped in Toxic Fens from a slain villager corpse for me.
Voodoom says
Chained Zakarum Repository, the quest item was looted from a villager body, not droped from the fallens
Archavia says
Thanks for confirming!
Adonis O. says
I’d like to say that I found “Forgotten Crossbow”, for the quest Good Riddance, in Ottvik’s Travail, Toxic Fens, Howezar. This is the exact location I found it: https://i.imgur.com/KHXh2ci.jpg
I also retrieved “Hungering Necrolyte’s Cache”, for the quest of the same name, on the EXACT same body. Both dropped at the same time. Weird, but welcome!
ale says
For the “Drink to the Past” quest, I found the Ale on a different chest but on the same region (Rotspill Delta).

Luurch says
Chained Zakarum Repository – this was my final one, and i would like to mention you DONT get it by killing fallen. i spent 1hour killing fallen and got no drop. it actually drops from a SLAIN VILLAGER corpse. so loot bodies of all slain villagers in the area and you should get the item. dropped on the first 1st villager i looted.
Therandomsavior says
Forgotten crossbow was found in the middle of blightmarsh.
Grody Gurnisson Son of Gurni says
38 – Heart of Mold description should say “Automatically started after completing Fungal Remedies” it currently says Heart of Mold.
Saeed says
‘Closing The Book’ also required me to have completed ‘Desperate Remedies’, not just the Stronghold.
RafaeLeal says

hybridsteel says
my last quest was
45 – Glittering Abundance
Pick up Gem-Laden Geode, which can be found when searching Ore Veins in Dismal Foothills. Speak to Tungal in Ked Bardu, then Mislan in Zarbinzet.
im now done completely never doing this again
Scorched says
So I am at 46/49. Lundon is gone, I assum that I am done with all his quests. I found the ore and all random drops for Timue (doll and venom). I found the Neo something cache. The one I am unsure of is the chained Zakarum repository but there is like one slain villager in cinder-wastes and that one didnt drop anything. What on earth am I missing?
James bond says
Lyndon can’t be gone, he just moved inside the building from where he was before
Fi says
Thank you the great job, Archavia. You really helped me finish all Q in all zones. In Hawezar though was the hardest and most annoying.
I was stuck on 48/49 and I wasn’t sure what am I missing.
Turned out to be the “Hungering Necrolyte’s Cache” – found one off of slain corpses in Toxic Fens. This drop is RARE and can take a while.
It took me few days of 1-2 rounds of entire zone per day, picking every “slain corpse”.
+1 more for “Well, I did it and I’ll never do it again!!” 🙂
L says
Been stuck at 48/49 for nearly a month, and it’s my last side quest before having the entire map done… Do I have the worst drop rates?
I’ve done all of the chained side quests in addition to my challenge tab being complete, so I’m thinking it’s one of the drops…I remember doing the ore and plant drop for this region, as well as the dagger and drops for Lyndon. I have been trying to grind for the cache and chained repository but having absolutely no luck with any corpse spawns, not to mention nothing stopping when I do come across any. I am literally desperate for any advice or help, this is getting ridiculous
L says
Nothing dropping**
Sargon says
This needs an update.
Season 2 added 1 new side quest in Hawezar. It is a standard side quest, available in Eternal realm too, it is not seasonal.
Perry says
Which one is that?
SnakeEyesTNT says
Do we know where and what it is? I am stuck at 49/50
