Shadow of the Defiler Walkthrough

This quest is directly embedded into the Main Quest, "Gem Quest: The Monastery". Progressing through certain objectives in the main quest will inevitably activate the Shadow of the Defiler Secondary Quest.

FIND RAZAN AND DESTROY HIM!

  • Exit Adrasteia's room and cross the bridge. This will lead you into another tower. 
  • Enter the second room on the left; open the chest in the room and collect the loot. Search the table to the right of the chest, and collect loot there as well. 
  • Clear any enemies that spawn. 
  • Continue down the hallway onto the platform on the middle of the next bridge. Interact with the platform to leave the area. 
  • Exit the tower through the arch door in front. Turn left and enter into the ruins nearby where you will find an empty tomb on the floor below.
  • Interact with the tomb to trigger a battle with Razan,  Estella Mertvykh, Brood of Flesh, Brood of Blood, and a Brood of Dead. 
  • Defeat Razan and his companions to complete the quest.

 

How to obtain Shadow of the Defiler

  • This quest is activated after the cutscene from the objective "Kill the Defiler" in the Main Quest, "Gem Quest: The Monastery". 
  • During this cutscene, the dragon reveals herself to be Adrasteia the Prudent Shield, Master of Abjuration, and that the elf Kythaela was actually a character she had conjured using a part of herself. Before the end of the scene, Adrasteia asks one last favor from you - to rid her lands of the foulness that we know as Razan the Defiler, effectively activating this quest.

      Razen is in the outside area of the Fortress of the shield, a crypt a few meters northeast of the circular platform outside of the library. The sarcophagus is guarded by Brood of Blood. However once you open the sarcophagus, 3 brood, Razen, and Estalla will appear around your party - a tough fight if you are not prepared. Recommend stealth your party, staging 3 of the party outside the crypt, and heave your stealthiest open the sarcophagus. This will give you a chance to do a surprise attack the first round. Cleric's Daylight spell seemed to make all the enemies attacks have disadvantage. Mage's firewall (choosing the option to circle the party) was also advantageous.
