Ember Isle Guardian Quest Guide: Part 2

Welcome back to the Ember Isle. Part 1 of this quest guide can be found here. For your convenience, I have added map coordinates for many key locations in this installment. Let’s begin right where Part 1 left off– heading toward Forlorn Fen.

Area Seven: Forlorn Fen

Port back to Wellspring Flats. The missing scout will be right behind the stone. While in the area, kill a Meddling Snapper to get:

The Snappers pack quite a punch, so be careful about aggroing too many at once. Around that area, make sure and grab the Onslaught daily. If you’re having trouble locating the Sourcewell, look north of the Wellspring Flats Travel Stone, in the center of the ruins. Near the shore, there’s also a bag in the water with a quest. Here’s a screenshot:

Also near the shore, at [13048, 2515] you’ll find a blue guy named Pizko with a quest:

Clear out the bushes, then turn in the story quest at Fort Zarnost.
 

Area Eight: Tidewell Inlet

Hop over to Wellspring Flats and make your way to the new area. If you have the following daily from Ember Watch, keep an eye out for the giant conches:

They’re distributed randomly around the land mass, in the water.

As you defeat the Adversaries and the Lieutenant, dwarves will help out. Don’t forget about the Tidewell Inlet Onslaught, located in the center area of the peninsula. Remember, if ever in doubt of the Sourcewell’s location– follow the invasions. As you make your way to the Onslaught area, you’ll run across a destroyed shrine at [13232, 2383] with:

Also in the area, kill a Tideflat Festerclaw to get:

While killing the Festerclaws, you’ll run into a wounded Keeper on a rock near [13458, 2313]. He offers:

Some of the Keepers will attack. After you’ve completed everything, head to Farhall. We’re finally done trekking back to Fort Zarnost.
 

Area Nine: Farhall

Harold Genthrop outside Farhall is at [13240, 2811]. He’ll give you a Spirit Infusion upon turning in your current quest, and supply you with its continuation.

Head down into the tunnel to find the main area of Farhall. You’ll find the Farhall Quartermaster at [13462, 2767]. Note: If you’re interested in lore books, there’s one by the Quartermaster, and one near Solya. Back to the quest. Solya has a few requests.

Pick a mushroom from the cavern, eat the Mush, then talk to a dwarf ancestor. The buff you get makes you sparkle like a reindeer. After that, lift a rock and fight an NPC.

The Wavecallers are out into the open waters a bit. The Crushers and Skeletons are back on top of Farhall, where you originally came in. Make sure and grab the Porticulum port while you’re up top. Note: Miners can mine the Crushers and other rock enemies in the area. The Ceremonial Basin, shown in the screenshot, and Altar are back inside the cavern. Check your quest log inventory for the costume.

To Capture the Pyrkari, use the item when the mobs are at 50% health or less. Keep capturing until you have all four, then mount up and return them. The Leader is also up top.

After activating the Malgams, follow any one of them and fight off the attackers that appear. For this quest’s reward, you’ll get your choice of some blue weapons as well as a Spirit Infusion. Solya will be your new story quest friend for a while, so get used to coming back here.
 

Area Ten: Fractured Plain

When you get to the last part, walk toward the bridge and click on the giant rock to hide. At [13479, 3103] you’ll run into an NPC with a daily:

This is just like the sea cap race from a couple world events ago, except now you get to be an oreling. You may wish to do this quest later on, since it takes you to Splintered Shallows upon the race’s completion. Back in Fractured Plain, kill a Troglodyte Soldier, and get:

As you follow the road, grab the area’s Onslaught daily. The relic for the story quest is also nearby. At [13390, 3137], you’ll see a weapon rack with a quest:

There’s a daily you can do here if you have it from Ember Watch:

Any of the areas with the three pots work for this. There’s one more quest to grab at a skeleton at [13236, 3195]:

These look like piles of rocks. After you’re done here, travel back to Farhall.
 

Area Eleven: Splintered Shallows

On your way here, feel free to do the race daily if you skipped it. The sunken ship is out on the far island. The pirate hat is in a chest that spawns a mob to kill. For the last step, make sure and do the other area quests before using the item, since you have to journey back to Farhall with the Pyrkari. Kill a pirate in the area for:

While you’re wandering around, make sure and grab the Splintered Shallows Travel Stone. It’s at [13728, 2955]. The Onslaught daily is on the island where you found the pirate hat. Also by the hat, you’ll find a piece of ship hull at [13747, 2748]:

On the southern peninsula of Splintered Shallows, there’s a pile of barrels at [13907, 2851]:

The rum’s a bit hard to see against the light-colored ships, so here’s a picture of it. The rum can be either on the ships or on the shore, but I found more on the ships. The fires are located all along the beaches. When you’re done, finish up the last stage of A Treasure Beyond Measure.
 

Area Twelve: Gilded Strand

As you complete this one, you’ll run into the area’s Onslaught daily. Along the shore, kill either a Cyclops Crusher or a Hammertail Skink to get:

In a Golden Maw tent, you’ll find:

At [13843, 3115], between the Gilded Strand area and Fractured Plain, you’ll find a dwarf, as pictured, with:

See those catapults? Shoot them, and spiders will break loose from rocks in the distant cliffs. Also, you can do an Ember Watch daily in this area if you happen to have it:

That’s it for this area. Stay tuned next week for the last installment of this guide: Part 3 and Area Thirteen: Fel Fields.
