Empowered Ritual Fragment


You helped Nature Keeper Iseru and Llaul Dynray the Eagle protect the Tower and prevent further attacks. Word has reached Clarissa that Lord Arawn's ritual was not stopped and that something massive has been spotted on the battlefield.


Quest text[edit]

<player>, word has reached me that the ritual begun by Lord Arawn was not stopped and has nearly reached its conclusion. We do not know what its result will be, but I need you to head back out into the battlefield to investigate.

  • I will do what I can.

Speak with Clarissa the Defender of the Grove

I know you will! Hurry, time is of the essence and I fear what may occur if you are too late.


Return to the Ritual Site and investigate

Game Feedback: You have returned to the ritual site. To your horror, something has been summoned within it! A massive golem of some sort. Out of the corner of your eye, you spot a figure waving for you to move closer.


Speak with Kor'at the Scout

I'm sure you are wondering what I am doing out here, yes?

  • I am, yes.

Clarrisa sent me to aid you if I could. I've removed a few archers who caught your trail, but otherwise you do extraordinarily well on your own. That creature, however, is another matter entirely.

  • The necromancer summoned... whatever it is.

It is a Golem of Ak'gorrath, <player>. My teacher spoke of their use, but one has not been seen since the First Siege of Aughundell. He claimed they had been used to batter down the walls of cities in the east and they attempted to breach the defenses of Aughundell unsuccessfully.

  • How do you defeat it?

They are summoned creatures so I fear brute strength will be of no use. My teacher used to say that the handlers were the key, but he never said how. Perhaps he did not even know.

  • Their handlers, you say. Very well.

Listen to Kor'at the Scout

Let us hope that is sufficient. Good luck to you, <player>.


Defeat Ebon Ritual Handlers until you find their link to the summoned creature

Game Feedback: You have recovered a pulsing fragment of what may be pure magic. It hums with contained energy, perhaps it could be directed at the Golem of Ak'gorrath!


Use the Empowered Ritual Fragment on the Golem of Ak'gorrath

Game Feedback: The fragment shatters on use, but it does appear to have had an effect on the Golem. You should acquire more!


Defeat the Golem of Ak'gorrath. Hint: Defeat Ebon Ritual Handlers and acquire Empowered Ritual Fragments from their corpses. Use the fragments to damage the Golem!

Game Feedback: The colossal golem has fallen. Return to Clarissa.

Welcome back, <player>. Were you able to stop the ritual in time?

  • Yes, with the help of one of your scouts called Kor'at.

Good! I am glad to hear that Kor'at found you... and that you were able to intervene before Arawn could complete the spell.

  • <You tell Clarissa of the Golem of Ak'gorrath>



Return to Clarissa the Defender of the Grove at the Tower of Nature

By Istara, you managed to defeat it? I am speechless... and that is a rare thing. You have my eternal gratitude and that of the Druidic Order, <player>. Thank you.
