Tips and Misc

• While this is an escort quest with an NPC (Kylea) that can get damaged.. Kylea can't actually die, as she brings up a shield that makes her invulnerable when she takes too much damage. So focus on the monsters and don't worry about Kylea.
• To have it a bit easier for the optional to prevent crystal from being destroyed, try to do both crystals in the north room (with the water) last, as this is the place where the final encounter will break through.
  • This means, however, that you must face all of the Warforged intended to be sent to destroy the power crystals and the final boss at the same time.
  • While the final fight does generate warforged to destroy the crystals, respawning enemies will also roam the halls and can destroy them as well.

Bonus XP
