    This task is the fourth group mission in a series for Solteris access. It follows the mission 'The Snakes are Hiding Something!'

    Tactician Sodut is located in Katta Castrum at about -560 +100 (south courtyard area from the temple zone in).

    Upon completion of the previous task:

    Tactician Sodut says 'Grave news indeed, friend! These golems would be frightening indeed and the plans for this pyramid hint at even darker and deeper plans. You have earned a rest friend, but return when you feel prepared for a [challenge] and I think together we can blunt this threat once and for all.'

    Or, after hailing:

    You say, 'Hail, Tactician Sodut'

    Tactician Sodut says, 'Prime Researcher Elnot sent you? Im sure that we can discover what you need to learn, in time, but first we need to clear the way. You and I already know the perils that await in Zhisza but I think you are up to the [challenge] that awaits you.'

    You say, 'What challenge?'

    Tactician Sodut says 'I've found with any band of cowards the most effective strategy is to simply eliminate the leaders and the followers scatter. If you think you are [strong enough] I have a plan to do just that to the shissar before they have a chance to strike.'

    You say, 'I am strong enough'

    Tactician Sodut says 'Excellent! I knew I could count on you! When you are [finished] preparing let me know and I will teleport you into the Habitat again. The future of this city may well rest on what you do today _____ so take great care!'

    You have been assigned the task 'Counter-Attack!'.

    Let Tactician Sodut know when you are "finished" preparations to enter Zhisza. He will teleport you to a location that should be safe.

    Tactician Sodut believes that with a good number of the Shissar leadership dead, it will throw the plotters into confusion and buy the city enough time to determine what the Shissar's plans are. Also this is a rare opportunity to collect potent venom sacs from the Shissar that may prove the key to reviving the beloved Tsaph Katta.

    Throw the Shissar into Confusion! Kill - Commander Klim

    Find Commander Klim outside the temple and deal with him.

    Throw the Shissar into Confusion! Kill - Quarrymaster Aszhe

    Find Quartermaster Aszhe in the quarry and slay him.

    Throw the Shissar into Confusion! Kill - Rhag'Zorin

    Enter the Shissar temple and kill Rhag'Zorin.

    Loot a Shissar Poison Sac from each of the 3 shissar you were sent to kill!

    Loot 3 shissar Poison Sacs that Head Attendant Haestus needs for his Antidote.

    Return to Tactician Sodut and report your victory!

    You say, 'Hail, Tactician Sodut'

    Tactician Sodut says 'Haha, that's fantastic news! This blow should leave them confused for weeks, giving us more time to learn more about their plans. Now please hand me the poison sacs.'

    Deliver the Poison Sacs to Tactician Sodut

    Upon completion, you receive positive faction with Combine Empire Merchants, a number of Onux.

    The next task in the series is 'Confront Emperor Zaarisz'

    As far as I have found so far you have to kill 3 mobs so far, and have to clear to them. One is in the quarry, his name is Quarrymaster something. He spawns adds and also FD's and snares like the other shissar in zone do single target. If you are able to pull him to zone in the adds won't follow. Next is by the temple...to the right side of it...Commander Klim! He hits around well...2800 ish when i died, spawns adds, and keeps spawning adds every probably..30 seconds to 1 minute. You also keep getting the message "he gets more powerful" or something like that, and keeps hitting harder and faster from what i could gather, he hits so fast, could not keep up with it with 2 clerics fast healing ancient heal. We tried pulling him a ways back so adds wouldn't follow, we tried fighting him where he stood, both ended up wipes about 6 times. I am a pally with about 3400 ac 17k hp 1700 + aa. You would need either a defensive warrior at this point unless there is some mechanic I am missing that I can't figure out, or you would just need some extremely massive dps. We had 2 necros and a bst for dps and were able to get him to about 50% before we died at the best. I don't know where the third named is, he was named Rhag'something, and I am assuming he was inside the temple. The fourth step was loot 1 shissar poison sac from each named, lastly go return to tactician sodut with them (not sure if you turn them in or just hail.)
