This task is the fourth step in the process of obtaining a Monocle of Blood, the key to the Demi-Plane of Blood. It begins with Coldwind Blackfoot in Nektulos Forest at location -1460, -965, and is only available if you have Dreadspire access and a Blurry Lens.

You say, 'Hail, Coldwind Blackfoot'

Coldwind Blackfoot regards you with his sharp cold eyes. Then he turns his head a little toward you and sniffs the air that has passed your flesh. He glares at you, then nods reluctantly. 'I can smell the Master on you. You have been inside the spire and returned alive. This we share, though my route out of that place was undoubtedly more ghastly than yours. I am willing to share some of my experiences with you as a cautionary tale, if you [would like to hear] what I have to tell.'

You say, 'I would like to hear'

Coldwind Blackfoot says 'The history of my people is long and difficult for an outsider to understand. What I am about to tell you is deeply linked to that history, so I you may have trouble understanding my motivations and the choices I have made. Do not concern yourself with why I did what I did, listen to the results of my actions and understand what I have learned from them. My story begins many years ago when I decided that I was more capable than Bloodeye. I chose to try to defeat our enemy, the one that corrupted our cousins. I gathered those of my family and clan that I knew would join me and I tried to breach the Dreadspire and find this Master that has torn our people apart and do the same to him. I took [five of them] with me to find a way in, to try to destroy the Hive Queen.'

You say, 'Five of them?'

Coldwind Blackfoot says 'Yes, only five. I was prideful and there were only five that I trusted. We were clever and times were different then. The Drachnid were overconfident and we were able to bypass most of them to reach the topmost level of the Hive. But once there we were uncertain how to reach the spire. We could find no entrance and so we chose to kill Sendaii and hope that she would have a key that we could use. At the very least we would have destroyed a great enemy. We passed unseen into her lair and came upon her unaware. The great disgusting creature should have died under our claws, we thought. We were fools, of course. Three of my cousins and my sister were killed in the battle. To my shame I was captured. There were many weeks of torture that I will not discuss. I knew that my end would come when I was implanted with her eggs and left to hang as food for her newborn. That, obviously, is not [what happened].'

You say, 'What happened?'

Coldwind Blackfoot says 'I only remember those weeks vaguely. I clearly remember my single day in Dreadspire. I awoke on a cold slab of stone. Above me stood a figure that I at first took to be an elf of some sort. There were two undead Shiliskin holding my limbs with their unholy strength. The man-figure never spoke to me, but I felt him inside my mind and body. His power pulled memory from me as easily as I might pull a blade of grass. He was able to infuse his power into my body and the touch of it made me ill. I sensed that every time I felt disgusted by his presence he was pleased. He took everything from me, turned it over in his mind and then placed it back. When he was done I felt in my mind a challenge. He seemed to have found me acceptable in some way, as if the least rotten of a basket of mushrooms. His challenge was to [come and find him]. He then released me and the Shiliskin zombies beat me unconscious.'

You say, 'Come and find him?'

Coldwind Blackfoot says 'It was an offer, of some sort. If I could perform the tasks needed to find him, then I would be powerful enough to earn a place at his side. I sensed the truth of that from his offer and from the sense of power and evil that was now inside me. I refused the offer and have refused to fight anyone since that day. That refusal along with my stupid sacrifice of my cousins and sister have made me an outcast. When your people opened up the topworld to us I chose to leave Darkhollow and live here. I am content to live my life here in this space between the two worlds, for I can not enter your world and I will not go back to my own.'

At the end of Eyes Wide Open, Treddlehoop mentioned that you should seek out a shaman to help you find out more about the Blurry Lens.

You say, 'What about the Blurry Lens?'

Coldwind Blackfoot listens as you tell the story of obtaining the Blurry Lens. His expressions are hard to read because he is not of your race, but you see that at times he is disappointed, but most of the time he is disgusted. 'Those metal creatures are a curse on all things with spirits. Things that they touch grow cold. To me they are undead, spirits trapped in unliving flesh. This glass that you show me is an abomination. Beings have paid with their eyes to create this, and they have closed them so that they need not see the horrors that they anticipate.' Here Coldwind pauses to look up into the sky. 'I was once a spiritual leader of my people. I understand that sometimes those of spiritual value can still not see the truth. If you are [willing to prove] your spiritual value to me, I think I can convince these eyes to see for you.'

You say, 'I am willing to prove it.'

If you do not have a Blurry Lens (or are not keyed for Dreadspire Keep):

Coldwind Blackfoot says 'Well, I am not yet convinced. Perhaps if you had that lens we were speaking of or knew your way into Dreadspire, then we might be able to talk.'

If you have a Blurry Lens:

You have been assigned the task 'Misty For You'.

Coldwind has asked you to try to locate his sister Misty Blackfoot and return her to him if you can. The only information he gave you was a rumor that a Ragepaw fitting her description was seen in some lower sections of the keep.

1. Find a way into the lower section of Dreadspire - Dreadspire Keep

Go to Dreadspire Keep and click on the door to the lower spire. The approx update loc is: /waypoint 3, -68, -1293

Your task 'Misty For You' has been updated.

Note - A dev has stated that if anyone in the task is not keyed for Vule's area, then at this stage the group will be directed to speak with Doorman so that they can complete Memories Lost. The task steps for that are theoretically added inside this task, since you can't have two group tasks at the same time. I cannot confirm this, as all members of our task had previously done Memories Lost.

2. Find Misty Blackfoot - Dreadspire Keep

Once you enter the first room of Vule's area, Misty Blackfoot will spawn. She is indifferent, does not assist any mobs, and no mobs assist her.

3. Speak with Misty Blackfoot - Dreadspire Keep

You say, 'Hail, Misty Blackfoot'

Misty Blackfoot says 'I will not speak with you. You are invaders in this place.' Misty sniffs the air deeply and then turns on you angrily. 'You smell of HIM! He sent you, my traitorous brother! He led us into certain death because of his own arrogance. We all should have died, but by the smell of you I see that he still lives! That's convenient, isn't it! Well I no longer need his help. I am no longer his baby sister fawning over his every word. I am a servant of the Master now. He has shown me power that Coldwind will never know or understand. You have two choices now. Leave this place and be spared, or [stay here] with that smell on you and die. You shall suffer as my cousins suffered the day he lead us into that horrible place and left us to die!'

Your task 'Misty For You' has been updated.

4. Kill 1 Misty Blackfoot - Dreadspire Keep

You say, 'We will stay here'

Misty Blackfoot says 'So be it! I shall find my brother once I am done with you and he shall receive your heads as a gift!'

Misty Blackfoot says 'We'll be having meat for dinner!'

Misty attacks, hitting for 1800 on average and for a maximum of 4000. She casts Clan Aura and Wave of Rage (DD + DoT), flurries, rampages, and enrages.

Misty Blackfoot's corpse takes two steps backwards, the fear of death in its eyes.
You have slain Misty Blackfoot!

Your task 'Misty For You' has been updated.

5. Deliver 1 Moon-Shaped Diamond Pendant to Coldwind - Nektulos Forest

6. Deliver 1 Blurry Lens to Coldwind - Nektulos Forest

Loot the Moon-Shaped Diamond Pendant and turn it in to Coldwind.

Coldwind accepts the pendant solemnly. He listens toyour story without speaking a word. He says nothing to you as hand him the glass. He is silent as holds the glass up to the sky. Only his lips move as he performs motions with his arms and fingers. He is completely silent as he returns the glass, now very clear, to you. He is silent and unmoving as a single tear runs down his cheek. He then speaks softly, 'Your work is not yet done. This glass is [bound] to the one that made it.'
