This is a shared task (1-6 players) whose purpose is to progress its grand task To Kill a Thel Ereth Ril (given by Alchemist Vaskerin).

It begins with Infiltrator Tesara in the zone-in area of the Sepulcher of Order (found off to the side in a corner near the entrance doors to the main part of the zone -- location -185, 70, 0).

In order to request it, you must first have completed the task Dismantling the Order.

You say, 'Hail, Infiltrator Tesara'

Infiltrator Tesara says 'You have spoken to Alchemist Vaskerin? You know of the Alsa Thel? Good. I have discovered many ways to [disrupt] the plans of the Order within this sepulcher, while at the same time obtaining samples of thel that Vaskerin can use to construct weapons.'

You say, 'How do we disrupt them?'

Infiltrator Tesara says 'The Triumvirate draws followers from across the land. With the powers of each god and the worship of their followers, the Alsa Ril will rise and claim ownership of this world. Even now they strengthen the powers of the gods with their blood, and they breed armies to spread out over the land. But we can stop this. Will you undertake a [task]?'

You say, 'I'll undertake a task!'

Infiltrator Tesara says 'Good. Here is something you can do to disrupt the Triumvirate's plans.'

A task window pops up and offers a random one of 24 different tasks.

You have been assigned the task 'Taming the Living Blades'.

Infiltrator Tesara has asked you to disrupt the Triumvirate's plans.

Find the entrance to the Temple of Battle in the west side of Sepulcher.

Weaken the living blades or blades of anger and steal their blades with the weapon gravitator. Equip the blades and kill carnifexes, archons, and soldiers.



Weaken the living blades or blades of anger, steal their blades, and use them to kill carnifexes, archons, and soldiers. 0/2 (Sepulcher of Order)

Travel to the west side of the zone (the upper of the two middle entrances to Sepulcher West), beat living blades to low health, and use the "Weapon Gravitator" you received to gather their blades. Then with those weapons, kill 2 carnifexes, soldiers, or archons. Upon killing the second mob:

The blades of battle disintegrate as they cut down your opponent.

Report back to Infiltrator Tesara 0/1 (Sepulcher of Order)

You say, 'Hail, Infiltrator Tesara'

You have caused further chaos to the plans of the Triumvirate.

Note: This task has a 60-minute lockout timer.

The update you're looking for is this:

Quote:
The blades of battle disintigrate as they cut down your opponent.


I got my first update from "an archon of alsa thelara", the second from "a bladeguide of also thelara"

A merc got the killing shot on the first one, me on the second. Both kills were using shield & sword, I went through a lot of mobs dual welding with no update, so maybe that's the trick. It didn't happen right away either, IMO just kill everything with that stupid sword till it updates.

No updates were "inside" the temple -- if by "inside" we mean down in the blade storm area or in the sepulcher west zoneline area

I don't understand this task. The blades are non-magical so they do literally zero damage to the mobs. I end up bashing them to death with my shield and that seems to update the task, but that makes no sense.

You have to steal a blade then kill a carnifex, archon or soldier INSIDE of the "Temple of Battle". You can't steal to blades then kill 2 carnifexes. You have to do them one at a time. Remember, the blades only work on the carnifexes, archons or soldier INSIDE of the Temple of Battle ..... so don't kill these guys when you first enter the area.
This quest is worth...

Our group ran dozens of missions and recorded the the number of Alsa Thel Droplets each provided. Every time we ran this quest everyone in the group received exactly: 10.
