  • Meet Sin in Highgate

    • Area: Highgate
    NPC:
  • Niko, Master of the Depths Introduction: Well, this nice little outpost here's been, shall we say, marred. Don't get me wrong, I love a splash of colour, I just don't love that colour splashing on me and my friends here. Why do I get the feeling you were involved...?
  • Niko, Master of the Depths Introduction: Blood everywhere around here... Startin' to remind me of my time in that little room back in Oriath. All that digging really made a mess of me hands. The mitts ain't just for protecting me against the sulphite you know.
  • Niko, Master of the Depths Introduction: How can there be this much blood, exile? Where's it coming from? Where's it going? Know what I think? I think it's going back into the mountain. One big loop, exile. One bloody big loop, and someone's down there pumpin it.
  • Niko, Master of the Depths Introduction: This is a bad omen, exile. A real baaaad sign. What if all the water's turning to blood, eh? They say the Cataclysm did all sorts of strange things. This seems pretty strange to me! Been having a lot of dreams where I drink all that blood up. My body swells up like a big grape. Can't hold it in. BANG! I'm gone. What do you think that means, eh? Maybe I'm the only one who can stop it... Maybe I'm the reason it's here in the first place.
  • Niko, Master of the Depths Introduction: Quite liked it here, you know, right up until the bloody mountainside started bloody... well... bleedin'. Thought for sure I was hallucinating, 'til the others started screaming and scrambling. Always nice to get a little reassurance about your sanity, eh?

    • 4Find the Basilisk Acid and Trarthan Powder
    Sin needs you to find some Trarthan Powder and Basilisk Acid so he can burn a new entrance into the Beast. Search the Refinery and the Boiling Lake for these ingredients.
  • Find the Basilisk Acid Find the Trarthan Powder

    • Area: The Boiling Lake, The Refinery
    NPC:
  • The Trialmaster Doryani: I was once mortal, and I know how the mortal I once was would have felt about certain things. That man would have hated Doryani with a passion for bringing about the fall of the greatest civilisation this world has ever known. Fortunately, I am no longer troubled by such attachments. Through the grace of Chaos, I now understand that all things that can happen, do. Even now I am testing the might of another survivor who washed up on Wraeclast instead of you, and to her, you are dead. All that you accomplish is meaningless. All that Doryani ruined was equally meaningless.
    • 5Find the Trarthan Powder
    You have given Sin some Basilisk Acid. Now you just need to find him some Trarthan Powder in the Refinery.
  • Find the Trarthan Powder

    • Area: The Refinery
    NPC:
  • Sin The Dark Ember: Now that I have both ingredients, I shall brew us a nice cup of what we need. There has never been a substance more corrosive than this, apart from my dear Garukhan's sarcastic wit.

    Let us meet soon at the blood pools surrounding the Lesion, and from there we shall burn ourselves a pathway into the Belly of the Beast.
  • Sin The Beast: Here we stand, amidst the coagulating remnants of my creation... Funny isn't it? Once I placed my Beast on a pedestal as my pride and joy, yet now I send you to breach the hull of my pet's fouling black core.

    I have brewed for us a potion from the remnants of our harvesting hunt. I shall apply this fermentation to the weakened membrane and meet you within the black core where we shall further our agenda.
  • Sin Cataclysm: It was never meant to transpire this way...

    My Beast was born to be a thing of beauty. A crowning jewel to rest upon humanity's head. I... I wanted to give your kind a chance for peace, a chance to play atop the great stage. No longer pawns to a pantheon of petty, slavering gods...

    It was only ever defending itself, the fault lies within the twisted hearts of those who would betray their own humanity.

    Not even I could anticipate the cataclysms my pet wrought on Wraeclast. Both Vaal and Eternal. Ruins in the pages of history. And the others... trailing back across the aeons.

    There is blood on my hands, exile, the innocent blood of millions, and try as I might, the stains just won't wash off.
  • Sin The Black Core: Those souls we now harbor, as individuals, they cannot hope to provide the onslaught of power that birthing our Dark Ember will require.

    But together... together each soul shall shift and change, they shall be knit into one creature, filled with animosity. Our unholy union will excite the Beast, and bring forth our Dark Ember from its rotten womb.

    You should steel yourself, dear friend, for once the cork is plucked from the bottle, the whole world will change.
  • Sin _take_ingredient1_: And so my mistakes are put to rest and the mighty General has fallen. We honour them both with this brew...

  • Alira Hand in Amulets: That was almost better than Oriathan chocolate. You keep this trinket... to remember me by on your travels.

    I'd ask you to stay but I think we both know where that would lead. How does the old maxim go? Oh yes: "familiarity breeds contempt, and contempt is murder's concubine."

    A threat? No, my dear. Merely reality.

  • Clarissa The Ankh of Eternity: Exile... you've helped me before. You can help me again, can't you?

    The Ankh of Eternity. If the legends are correct, the Ankh has powers over life and death... when paired with the correct Azmerian ritual.

    I've learned the ritual. All I need is the Ankh of Eternity and I know I can bring Tolman back.

    Will you retrieve the artefact for us?
  • Kraityn Hand in Amulets: Ah, sweeter than mother's milk. Might as well take this pretty husk with you. Something to remember me by.

    Nice working with you, matey. I wish you luck on your travels but, from what I seen, you won't be needing it.

  • Piety Malachai's Organs: You work fast!

    You know, it is no mere 'freak of nightmare' that fashioned that monstrous version of myself, the one you so kindly despatched.

    The Godless Three took great pains in getting me looking... 'just so'. They were none too gentle about it either.

    So no need to play softly with the remaining two. Treat kindness with kindness.

    You know, prior to meeting Maligaro, Shavronne and Doedre, I rather admired them. Their work, their accomplishments... sheer genius! As it turns out, genius is something better appreciated from afar.

    So let's remove this one, last genius from the vicinity, shall we?
