This is a shared task.

Seek out Krama Alaeus in The Overthere in the outpost just inside and to the left as your heading in. At /loc +1425, +1274, +1.

You say, 'Hail, Krama Alaeus'

Krama Alaeus says, 'Ah, good to see you again, I wanted to thank you for your help with our [dire] issues with the wildlife here. I've only been here a short while, but things certainly seem to have changed a lot since I was [last here].'

You say, 'last here'

Krama Alaeus says, 'It's been, what, fifteen years since I was last here. Back then this was a Tier`Dal outpost stuffed into the ruins of an old Iksar port. They never seemed to be interested in repairing or upgrading anything. Too busy sowing hatred, I suppose. But now things are very different. I have so many questions, and so few [answers].'
You say, 'answers'

Krama Alaeus says, 'I would ask myself, but the folks here seem a bit put off by me. They asked me here to deal with the animals here, specifically in regards to their aggression. We solved the main issue, as you know. But these folks seem extremely disconnected from nature and vaguely distrustful of me. They just aren't open to my questions. But seeing that you are considered a hero among them, maybe you can [solve] some mysteries for me.'

You say, 'solve'

Krama Alaeus says, 'Great! It's good to have a friend here. Thank you so much.'

You have been assigned the task 'For My Information'.



  1. Talk to Combine locals about the Tier`dal. (The Overthere)

  2. Say "tier dal" to any regular, non-quest, dark elf NPC around, until you get an update.

  3. Talk to one of the Tier`dal that joined the Arisen. 0/1 (Howling Stones)

  4. This is "an arisen convert" in Howling Stones, they spawn in the east wing, northeast area.

  5. Kill the Arisen that has attacked you. 0/1 (Howling Stones)

  6. Kill an arisen convert. They are found in the furthest point of the east wing in the Howling Stones. They are not KOS, and they aren't social with the other mobs in the zone. They hit very hard -- as hard as nameds in the zone. Max hit of 46,500 was observed (non-tank), but fight seemed pretty standard otherwise.

  7. Tell Krama what you have learned 0/1 (The Overthere)

  8. Go back to the outpost in The Overthere and talk to Krama Alaeus.

    You say, 'Hail, Krama Alaeus

    Krama Alaeus says 'It never fails to shock me how far these dark elves are willing to go for their hatred. Though I suppose cursing this place shouldn't surprise me, joining a cult to Venril Sathir seems very odd. If we're going to remain here, we should probably learn about those curses, right?

  9. Discover the nature of the curse on the dock, if you can. 0/1 (The Overthere)

  10. This is located on the end of the old pirate ship near the dock at /loc +2844, +2159, -33.

    Once you get there, you'll see the following yellow text.


    For a brief moment you feel unbelievably cold. Light simply disappears around you. When you recover, you notice that much of the wood on you weapons and tools is fractured.

  11. See what you can learn about the curse placed on the cliff golems. 0/1 (ALL)

  12. Find Vizra, magia mortis fortitio in The Overthere outpost and say "golem curse" to her.

  13. Get heartstones from errant cliff 0/1 (The Overthere)

  14. Find a crumbling cliff golem, Wayward cliff golem, or a rocky cliff golem and kill them until they drop a Cliff Golem Heartstone.

  15. Give the stone to Vizra. 0/1 (The Overthere)

  16. Go back to the outpost and give Vizra, magia mortis fortitio the Cliff Golem Hearstone.

    Vizra, magia mortis fortitio examines the wrinkled stone. 'Well, this certainly is interesting. Look carefully at this. It is starting to split into two pieces. And the magic on it is, well, best described as chaotic. This heart isn't like they used to be, for certain. I would say that the golem this came from was starting to split into two distinct units. I would also guess that this one would have a tendency to act independently, maybe even contrarily to its orders. It's pretty amazing, really. Shame to waste such power and creativity on such a useless thing.'

  17. Speak with Krama about the curses. 0/1 (The Overthere)


  18. Hail Krama Alaeus.

    Krama Alaeus says, 'Horrible, really, that people could do such things. I wouldn't be surprised if those dark elves had a hand in the plague the sarnak created. I'm glad I'm not a member of this Combine thing. Would could really trust dark elves in your society? Well, thank you for your help. Good luck in the future.'

Double Invis in Howling Stones

The route in Howling Stones starts by heading south from Zone In, then an arduous trek to NE of zone through tunnels packed with mixed live and undead mobs.
However, if you have a pair of casters then you can double invis and sail past all mobs except the golems.
If at least one is a mage, they can scout forward and summon others for each fight.

Need this added to the task information, at the beginning

Reading this write up on the task, I thought the first thing you did was to talk to the dark elves in that area to get the task, that is not the case. Here is the very beginning of this task.

You say, "Hail, Krama Alaeus"
Krama Alaeus says, ËœAh, good to see you again, I wanted to thank you for your help with our [dire] issues with the wildlife here. I've only been here a short while, but things certainly seem to have changed a lot since I was [last here].
You say, "last here"
Krama Alaeus says, "It's been, what, fifteen years since I was last here. Back then this was a Tier'Dal outpost stuffed into the ruins of an old Iksar port. They never seemed to be interested in repairing or upgrading anything. Too busy sowing hatred, I suppose. But now things are very different. I have so many questions, and so few [answers].
You say, "answers"
Krama Alaeus says, "I would ask myself, but the folks here seem a bit put off by me. They asked me here to deal with the animals here, specifically in regards to their aggression. We solved the main issue, as you know. But these folks seem extremely disconnected from nature and vaguely distrustful of me. They just aren't open to my questions. But seeing that you are considered a hero among them, maybe you can [solve] some mysteries for me.

You have been assigned the task "For My Information".

I consistently only get the update from the first step after talking to the dark elf combine members. It makes sense if you read the dialogue.
can also get heartstone from rocky cliff golem

Arisen converts are found in the furthest point of the east wing in the Howling Stones. They do not spawn elsewhere.

They are not KOS, and they aren't social with the other mobs in the zone. They hit very hard -- as hard as nameds in the zone. Max hit of 46,500 was observed (non-tank), but fight seemed pretty standard otherwise.

I used /target convert waited until he came close to the door hailed while double invisible ran the dialog when I got task update I backed up into the hall. Convert came to me and because he isnt social with the mobs he came alone. Really all you have to worry about on this run is the golems if you can double invis.

We were only able to find the converts in the NE corner of the zone near The Overthere exit. We too checked the West to no avail.

Note: You can double invis through all of the mobs EXCEPT the golems. There are 4 golems in the area where the first Arisen Convert is so have a good puller with you =)

We were able to put down a fire just outside of the door to the golems in the NE corner and bring in buffers. Good spot with no mobs around or pathing.

Just for the record - this is listed as a solo task but in fact is a group progression task. I hadn't done the first in the partisan chain yet but was able to participate in this group task today w/ guildies and receive credit.

It appears that since the beta, they have made it so the converts only spawn in the far NE part of the zone. Of course the only way to get there is by fighting through the south to the northeast. If anyone has seen any spawn anywhere else besides NE, please post. Our fellowship wasted an evening trying to get them to spawn in the west to no avail.

Completed this today. Only found Arisen Converts in the far NE also. Was able to pull the four Golems 2 at a time with a bow.
