"Eye of the Storm" could also be Soluesk's EYE in LavaSTORM, going to check now :p
I am kinda thinking about the center of PoS, where you zone into BoT.... See how it kinda looks like an eye on the map and there was something about a typhoon in the line, well there is a typhoon here Plus some Typhon named mobs, farming it atm, only killed a few, but we will know soon.
checked PoS and only found out that the uncommon "hydrolyzed ether" magic lore drop from storm frogs is not the piece we need, I tried to give it to muada
/em stands in teh eye of the storm (PoS center) looks up.... se Bastion of thunder... Heading there now
"At the eye of the storm IN THE SKY...."
mabye now we need to focus on new mobs and junk in OOW.. Cause we know at some point epic junk is got to have something to do wit it.
I have to agree that Maiden's, PoS, and BoT sound like likely places. Has anyone tried spawning Drornok Tok Vo`Lok in the PoS frog caves? While I don't think Storms is 'in the sky' as hinted, the text seems to point to a mob that already existed in the zone ('once surmountable')... MIght tbe worth a try.
Did the Frog event in PoStorms, killed the Drolok whatever named Guktan at end, dropped Hydrolized Ether and some tunic. Unless he can't drop it 100% of the time, which I doubt, it's not for us.
'At the eye of the storm in the sky, there are rumors of a hungry beast. It was once an surmountable spirit, but it has learned and aged and grown too powerful for anyone to tame. Its spirit is imbued with a feral force that must be reclaimed by a beastlord. You must release the savage energy it has absorbed and return it to me. We will return it to the spirit world at once.'
Eye of the storm = PoS where all the frogs are, look at map and it even looks as a eye.
in the sky = if you stand at that spot and look up you see BoT
Hungry beast, it was once s surmountable spirit (obsolete spirit) = maybe the dog in middle south camp? I dunno, but I bet my mainhander epic 1.0 on that its in BoT
Edit: Going to check tomorrow or so when I have time....
Well I was betting on it being in the Oldworld plane of Sky or Air or whatever people are calling it. The Clue said "in the sky" and that would be the most obvious choice plus the addition of the new mob there. But based on the following posts from alla, he didn't drop anything special.
Quotedidnt drop anything unusual, was hoping he was for bst epic =/

New mob

Score: Decent [3.00] Ran into a new mob on Pegasus Isle. Eternal Spirit. Looked like a pegasus and conned dark blue, dubious to my 58 warrior.
Spawned 2 soul harvesters when killed which each spawned a soul tamer. Same as a regular pegasus.
So if thats not it, Gromk's idea has merit. I didn't know you looked up the tornado and saw BoT in the sky. The only problem I see with it being Thangbrand at Middle Earth (as it's called on my server and I think this is the place you were refering to) is that is a very popular EXP/loot camp. It wouldn't make much sense to make such a highly contested mob an epic mob.
Our server has been kinda low on people in BoT since OoW release, only 1 group or so normaly acoarding to afriend that still exps a alt there, I went and ofcourse only camp that was camped was MS (misslde south as we call it =P)
Anyone kill the Eye of Veeshan yet?
Once a surmountable spirit....
Surmountable meaning able to be overcome or even tamed? Trying to understand the meaning of the word.
What could we tame before? Tame being anything from kill to have as a pet?
Hmm... a big mystery indeed.
Quote'At the eye of the storm in the sky, there are rumors of a hungry beast. It was once an surmountable spirit,
THis definately points to an animal in BoT IMO.
Valbrand (http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=11742) & Thangbrand (http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=10617) are the only 2 animals in BoT besides the bees, and given the way the epic has consentrated so far on warders and the races of beastlords im willing to bet we need something from these 2.

Quotebut it has learned and aged and grown too powerful for anyone to tame.
im thinking this is a slight red herring - simply flavor text indicating your looking for a warder model.
QuoteIts spirit is imbued with a feral force that must be reclaimed by a beastlord. You must release the savage energy it has absorbed and return it to me.
This to me sounds like it must be killed to obtain what we need (its essense/spirit) - theres a chance it might be linked to a mob similar to Ikkinz4 where a Beastlord needs to get the finishing blow to maybe either recieve the loot or perhaps spawn a more savage version?
killed Valbrand on Xev.. he had nothing.... at 525 est
That was before prior was posted.. nice to see someone else on the same track.. hoping to try the other later.
I posted somewhere here that I saw BOTH of those die last night with nothing on them.
'At the eye of the storm in the sky, there are rumors of a hungry beast. It was once an surmountable spirit, but it has learned and aged and grown too powerful for anyone to tame. Its spirit is imbued with a feral force that must be reclaimed by a beastlord. You must release the savage energy it has absorbed and return it to me. We will return it to the spirit world at once.'
Hrm what about the sleeper? Cause well we all know that it's a very insaly powerful mob and until reacently only on server has killed it.... and you know we should get a kick ass mob like that as our warders...
(p.s. hope you like the humor)
The more I thinka bout it, the more Maiden's Eye seems right. As stated, it's probably a warder model, which the wolves in Maiden's Eye fit the description, plus this...
At the eye of the storm in the sky....
This might be reaching a little bit, but... what's in the sky? Luclin? So you could also then say "At the eye of the storm on Luclin..." I'm sitting at the altar right now killing and hoping for a rare spawn or rare drop.
The only zones that spring to my mind when thinking even remotely about "storms" and "sky" are:-
- Plane of Storms
- Bastion of Thunder
- Plane of Sky
- Plane of Air
I am praying this has nothing to do with the elemental plane Plane of Air since that would be TOO unfair for an epic 1.5.
BoT
====
Anyone managed to check up near Agnar? Pretty brutal place to put a mob but i wouldnt put it past them.
Or perhaps the Tornado tower in BoT, not the wing, the actual tower where the tornadoes etc spawn.
We could be looking for a new named dog in BoT.
PoStorms
========
Since this is the Plane of Storms anywhere in this zone could technically be a suitable location however the large tornado seems the most likely place -- pehaps a rare spawn that simply hasnt appeared for those who have killed there already. Has anyone killed the large named bee recently?
PoSky
=====
The only storms I can think of in PoSky are the sword storms which are mobs and nothing to do with the location, other than that theres really no island that fits the description.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When looking at the clue:-
"At the eye of the storm in the sky, there are rumors of a hungry beast. It was once an surmountable spirit, but it has learned and aged and grown too powerful for anyone to tame. Its spirit is imbued with a feral force that must be reclaimed by a beastlord. You must release the savage energy it has absorbed and return it to me. We will return it to the spirit world at once"
The following things stand out:-
- Eye of the Storm
- Sky
Clue to the location
- Hungry beast
We are looking for a "beast", not a giant, not an elemental, not a robot. And its hungry.... which could mean its KoS and predatory.. like a wolf or a tiger.. or... most fearsome of all... a gecko..... omg!
- Once a surmountable spirit
This could mean we are looking for a variation of an easily killed creature that has always existed in the zone. Possibly even exactly the same mob as before but has been stealth upgraded. Not sure of the "spirit" connection.
- Learned and aged
This is a shot in the dark but we are possibly looking for a mob with the words "old", "ancient", "aged", "matured" in its name.
- Grown too powerful for anyone to tame
Does this suggest it was able to be "tamed" before? As in able to be made into a pet? This by itself could put the two existing named dogs in BoT out of the question since they are obviously "tamed" creatures.
Ok NE tower, the tornado/wind tower is my final guess. It wasnt the little wolfie that had been upgraded in MS camp atleast. And standing in PoS looking up to the air from BoT zone in, isnt that the NE tower? With all the small islands and bridges? MAybe the named flappy before zone to the acctual boss?
That is what I'm checking next if noone beats me to it! Slight chance of that happening cause I gotta sleep, take care!
The drogmor fits all that, sigh.. too bad the hand in didnt work.
QuoteThe drogmor fits all that, sigh.. too bad the hand in didnt work.
Explain please.
Cannot Check right now as I am at work, but, from reviewing a lot of what has been done so far, we seem to be spending a lot of time in the Old world zones as in Pre Luclin.
Everything so far has not required that we have a flag to be able to access zones, and everything has had something to do with Velious
Skyshrine???
Veksar???
Just thoughts, but may help trigger something for someone.
Well implicated it was previously tamed, a surMOUNTABLE spirit(play on words maybe). Although Gunthak doesn't meet the eye of the storm in the sky description, it certainly seems like a storm was through there, all the ships. As for learned or aged, old people seem to go delerious lol.. I dunno, seems pretty good to me, the name in gunthak drops the feral essence which fits "Its spirit is imbued with a feral force"
If you havent read the other thread, Delerious Drogmor in Gunthak(new name) drops A feral Essence or something. THe turn in to Muada did not work
There is a chance it could work. Demuk turned in the piece from the Drogmar and THEN the piece from the PoNightmare. For the new epics, every piece has to be turned in at the same time in the same trade window. There is no MQ stuff as far as I know.
So maybe we have to turn in piece from Drogmar in Gunthak and the piece from the nightstalkers in PoNightmare at the same time.
Thats the answer then, the drog has got to be it, i didnt see that he didnt turn both in at once.
Well we are on the same server and that's what I got out of him. *laugh*
I'm camping the Drogmar right now and I may try it, not sure yet though. And the surmountable spirit line, that's what I was thinking, kind of a play on words... it was once able to be mounted.
About the storm thing though, it doesn't really make sense. The fact that it looks like a storm has been through there does though, it looks pretty wrecked. hehe
Just got the piece to drop. It IDd as "A wild and untamed essence"... I can't believe this isn't the piece. *sigh*
Mine took 6 rounds of clearing the drogmars.. Demuk's took 7 rounds. We believe it can spawn in any place up by nadox castle in Gunthak. He spawned on far right side going up to castle.. mine spawned on far left side going up to castle.
Good Luck all
mabye something that is UNdead.. the DN mabye something in POV udead camps. or PON
Has someone tried to hand in the pon piece and the essence at the same time? I havent heard of so far. Im betting it is and no one has handed both in at the same time so far
Muada doesn't want the essence from the Drogmor....no idea what it's for...or if you have to do something to it first.
Mahes and Gurgar posted on the other thread, Gurgar even tried turning in the cap too. Both didn't work. :?
What about wearing the cap when you do the hand in heh.. its a serious stretch but that essnece fits so perfect
how is Gulf of Gunthak in the eye of the storm in the sky?
Doesn't fit perfect imo
Isn't that the story about LoY, boat wreck due to a large storm?
I was wearing the hat. Tried both essences. Got the "You must turn in all parts..." message. Tried JUST the feral essence; "I have no need for that." Tried JUST the disturbed essence; "You must turn in all parts..."
Had an idea a while ago. I'm running my druid to Abysmal Sea to check tracking. The boat in abysmal is in the middle of a huge storm from what I recall and the thing protecting it are the magical things put around the ship to create a shield of sorts.
EDIT: Just checked Nedaria and Abysmal and nothing out of the ordinary on track in either. :?
He talks about releasing the spirit. lets assume we have to hand the essence to someone in order to spawn the spirit that we need to kill. Couldn't get the essence handed to the Beast Tamer because I'm kos, althtough that make be because I'm iksar. He was unlike the Troll in WW in that he did attack me, so Im gonna assume that lead is closed.
Do not hand in the essence to "corruption" in PoStorm. It will eat your essence.
/waits impatiently for the drogmor to pop again.
PoStorms seems to make the most sense.... in the very center of storms there is a ring style event.. has anyone tried this event since the epics were introduced?... this mob's loot table may have been altered
http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=10844
apparantly it takes about 2-3 groups to do it .... have to clear every frog in the center area to start the event
...just a thought...
After talking to some people on the kael server whos links show up different, we have come to the conclusion that the Feral Essence is infact the correct item. On Kael it appears as "HL - Q1 - P10" and the other 9 items already have been found to be part of the epic.
If you think about it though, the lore lines up perfectly. From Luclin the sky would be norrath and the great storm refers to the crash that shipwrecked the giant ship in Gunthak. Muada refers to the beast not being able to be tamed and the ID for the Swirling Feral Essence is "A wild adn untamed essence" . So I think we can say without a doubt that this is the item. It's just a matter of what we have to do with it.
Also, the Elder asks for remains of mob from PoN (whatever is on the corpse) , but asks for the "release of the savage energy" from the hungry beast. We can assume if he had just wanted the items from the corpse he would have asked for both remains. So there has got to be another step in this that we are missing.
The Beast Tamer in Nobles turned out to be a flop. He was KOS to me as an Iksar so we got a Vah to go check him out and he was also KOS to him also. He tried handing it with sneak and invis and the itemwas handed back. So we need to look somewhere else for the turnin.
yea we should probably evaluate the whole text once again, i know i have ben trying to look up posible zones to check and other than the ones we have already mentioned i don't think there are any more places. (tho i wish there was a place to get all the lore for EQ so that this stuff sould be easier to identify, like Abysmal is in a massive storm, or greigs end is haunted and stuff.)
rereading the text it does sound like we are suposed to loot the esance then realease teh energy then return that and the other to him.. we might have an added step we didn't notice... this Swirrling feral essense matches too well with what we need to get from the mob ( regardless of where/what the mob was) the Delerious Drogmore was once tame (surmountable) but now isn't, could be delerious from hunger, there could have ben a storm that it Gunthank .... it's stil speculation but it seems posible.
Hand the drogmor essence to the beastlord guy in Gunthak? Since its same zone, just an idea.
Quote from: Ukator IcebloodHand the drogmor essence to the beastlord guy in Gunthak? Since its same zone, just an idea.
Was tried by a few, was handed back. I haven't tried personally.
When I stood in shar vahl looking up to the sky.. I see Norrath or more specifically, what I think is Kunark in a cloud cover (maybe this is the storm?)
So Im wondering if maybe there is something to be found in an additional kunark zone ?
Just tossing out thoughts....
At the eye of the storm in the sky....
If it is the drogmor I sure dont think that clue is realy logical...
Killed the drog, harder fight than I thought heh, seems harder than the SG mob, but meh, started with 50m and ended up kiting him with no warder and 10m 0m, hits 650, once slowed you can out heal him for sure.
Handed to Coldtogue, gunthak Beastlord... Nothing.
Has anyone tried to hand in the "fierce spirit clay" that drops from the phoenixes in Air?
thats for shaman epic
Since we havent confirmed the drogmor piece yet, and we were looking for stuf in storms.
Theres a strange red ent at 2059, -1310 in the forest area in PoStorms.
He has no name, just comes up blank. Cons as a red kos, but he wont attack or respond to hails. Also wont let me attack him either.
the cluses for the mob we are looking for is "hungry" "once surmountable" (once tame) "beast", as well as maybe " learned" and "aged". an Ent might work on all of that but the hungry (depends on name) and Beast, i still theink we have to "release" the drogmores essence and that it is the right drop, it fits all the clues, and the whole "eye of the storm in the sky" could be just a vauge as the "shubbery" drop we got at the begining. I'd still feel better it we could find a mob in a "storm" but if we knew all the lores for the zones maybe it would make since that it's in Gunthak. And have we checked the Omens zones? alot of other classes have had to have stuff from there.. just wondering why we haven;t..
hand the drogma essence to one of the 5 animist from part 2?

Did the Frog event in PoStorms, killed the Drolok whatever named Guktan at end, dropped Hydrolized Ether and some tunic. Unless he can't drop it 100% of the time, which I doubt, it's not for us.

Lol. I thought I had saw it somewhere that someone did it. So much info to sift through. My bad.

edit: nvm ... info already around in the forums somewhere :roll:
anyone try handing the essance to Dumal or one of his lackies? Just a random thought that they might still have something to do with this. I mean after all he did "rebalance the spirit world" god only knows how many times when we did the first epic.
Reasoning. -
6 scouts spawned 6 mobs of which we (not sure on exact wording) released their spirits to calm the spirit world again. With discord brewing again maybe Dumal can help release this spirit for Muada (the new guy in town).
just a thought Im not to this point so I cant try it.
Monks had their epic dev. chat with them... it appears monk's epic is bugged at a point, 3 days of searching and them not able to find even a hint of what they're supposed to... it's possible ours might be bugged at this point too
I tried handing the Feral Essence to Dumul and his cronies; no good. They all return it with the "I have no use for this item so-and-so, you may have it back."
Its not bugged! ( I hope )
It's the named flappy in SE tower of Bastion of Thunder. The air tower, right before you gate to big boss. I was there with a group but tank had to leave after 2 respawns of trash. So will go back asap.
Check clues as listed before, read my previous posts about eye, the sky and all that. This guy is older, wiser and stronger then the other flappys and well, it just HAS to be him!
Hydrolyzed Ether from the PoS frog is for the Mage Epic 1.5.

i seem to recall the old SoBW quest (Shield of Bane Warding) .. there was some kind of "cleansing" event in grimling forest... has anyone looked around the kitty fort there for any new NPCs.. or new quests on old ones?
Perhaps Erech Eyford?
http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=11945
Killed him before, but maybe he has been upgraded.
I was thinking that maybe it is not where but what we have to kill.
I think it is a dragon of some sort.
Got to be in Velios or Kunark.
Anyone try the dragons in Skyfire? Are ther any new dragons in there?
Maybe it is a unicorn? Any try the Pained unicorn in Lfay. Maybe there is a new drop?
Erech Eyeford is name of the guy I been talking about thanks for posting it :)
just realized it
Erech EYE-ford
Erech Eyeford is out, i killed em this morning and didnt drop anything but a 35 hp/mana bracer
Pained Unicorn and the other horse there Equestrial didnt drop anything new. Was fun getting revenge though. =)
Anyone try asking Mauda how to release the essence? Maybe the trigger text isnt highlighted

I tried everything I could think of last night and nothing.
I've asked Muada everything I could think of, with no response. If there's a trigger in the text, it's so not obvious as to be useless to us.
Text mentions the beast being hungry. Anyone try feeding the drogmor before killing the poor beasty hehe. Just a thought. Not sure what else to try at this point hehe :).
have a druid or chanty charm the droggy
Who says this drogmor is what we need ? It seems that everything has been tried with it and nothing is working including turning his drop in . This is everquest , just because it looks like it should fit doesn't mean it does .

And just because it doesn't work doesn't mean it is the wrong part .. once again i state that we need to RELEASE and i repeat RELEASE the {bunnies} Savage energy from that beasts essense and turn in the ENERGY like the text tells us to. If you follow gramor (and i had to get someone else to fil this in as i {bunnies} in English class) it tells you.
QuoteIts spirit is imbued with a feral force that must be reclaimed by a beastlord.
the "that must be reclaimed" is a prepositional phrase describeing the feral force not the spirit.
QuoteYou must release the savage energy it has absorbed and return it to me.
the first "it" refers to the spirit wich was the topic of preceding sentence. the second it "it" now refering to the "savage energy".
this seems to me to be clear that we ned to release the energy and that is why this part is not working.
so far combining it in a forge doesn't work, nor with a smithy hammer nor with a Soulforge hamer, nor with the hat with all those combinations, doesn't work, also in a morter and pestl doen't work. No one in PoK seems to want to release essence or in Shar VAhl or Shadweavers or tranquility, or gunthak or stonebrunt. tho i could have missed a few npcs.
there is still a wide wide world to check for this before i give up on it.
now just to show i'm open mined i'll start killing anything posible, after all posible solutions to the essence we got from the Drogmore ( as well as the improbable) are exhausted, i'l start hunting and find a ranger bot. The Wizard epic has a spawned named that i helped my husband try to find, ther is a /say phrase to say, we spent hours covering the place it told us to say the phrase in.... later on someone posted where to say it... we never even thought we could get where it stated, and yet if we had given up and the others had given up on what was correct but just not done right, they would still probably be stuck on that part as we seem to be on this on.
snakes were surmountable? then they werent? does ssra make any sense?
Anyone try a chisel yet?
While trying different key phrases the following seemed to spark a reply from Muada. Possibly not far enough along yet.
Spirit world?
not sure if this has to do with anything but found it interesting.
Maybe hold it on your cursor and cast a spell to release the energy. Kind of a stretch, but we seem to be running out of ideas. Ferocity or Infusion of Spirit come to mind as possibilities.
I don't think this quest is going to follow any mechanics we aren't already familiar with.
Let's assume occam's razor is reasonable and say:
1. This isn't the right piece.
- OR -
2. There is a step that needs to be done before the piece can be turned in.
--
#1 Is very possible. Several reasonable explanations for other locations have been described. Personally, Maiden's Eye fits the explanation very well. The word play of "surmountable" is reasonable, but not by any means an absolute. Saying Gulf of Gunthak fits the eye of the storm element of the riddle is a stretch.
#2 Is also possible. I think less possible than #1. The other piece in the quest does not need any particular combine to be considered a valid part of the Epic by Muada.
Therefore, I think we need to have some people go search Maiden's Eye and other zones for possible clues.
I recall having to spend two days farming in Luclin to get rare drops for my savage spirit claws. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the same situation.
QuoteThe word play of "surmountable" is reasonable, but not by any means an absolute.
just one thing i have seen over and over again ... "surmountable" Means: Surmountable (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=surmountable)
Yes the play on words "mount" refering to the Drogmore is comical. But actualy 100% correct. The very definition of the word means something that can be conquered/tamed/overcome/climbed on top of, not just a play on Mount which is the root word. There is no true "word play", it really is the definition.
i know this is a bit of a rant it's just upsetting (after 32 hours awake reaserching things it's easy to get annoyed) that after all our posts on this board that the definition of the word gets thrown out just because of a punn.
I liked the punn it was funny. Still not 100% certain that we have the right mob, but the 99.9999% that is certain wishes Norrath would just blow up so it can get some esleep :)
In Plane of Storms there is a mob named Swirling Monsoon Elemental, he is supposedly part of the mage epic for those who did not do their epic, but it might also drop what we need because it says needs to be released by a beastlord.......Just a thought, wish I would have had time to try it tonight.
He is a new mob, and looks like an air elemental.
The mob actually says that?
Confirmed that the Swirling Monsoon Elemental in PoStorms gives no text.
Must only be for the Mage pre-1.5 then.
Ok here is a suggestion read the clips of what the elders have said. Look what they are hunting. Seems maybe this is what we should be looking for. Also maybe there is a box of some sort we have to find that will hold all of the essences. My suggestion is to go back and look for these types of mobs. I posted before that it is not where but WHAT.

Dey hurt me lots, but me tuff with my warder. No match for me! Dey do survive da cold good and manage not to die wit all da wurms and da beasts here. Me try to learn to harness da power of dem.'
Elder #5Marrey McGrannel says. "It is indeed authentic. i suppose i can tell ye that i've been studyin' the way o' the sirens. We as beastlords use the strength of our warders, as well as bestow magic upon them. These sirens use mind tricks! i'm workin' on a [way] to use the magic these fair ocean maidens do to help our kin."
So that leaves us With:
1 Rhinocerous
2 Potameids
3 Lizard
4 Mastadon
5 Siren
So far the Drogmar is a lizard and it has been killed.
Sounds like we have to find what it is they were killing or hunting for.
Go back to where ya found the elders and look for the beasts.
Ocean of tears is where the Siren is.
Overthere is where a Rhino is.
Jaggedpine is where the Potameids are.
CT is where the lizards are.
Western wastes is where the mastadons are.
Maybe Storms is where ya have to find the container.
I had a crazy thought. Has anybody studied the texture used in the sky of Luclin to see if there is any cloud cover that looks like a storm over a specific part of the world?
here's a longshot, try combining the item from the drogmor with an essence emerald somehow?
Handed the swirling feral essence to the iksar Animist in OT with interesting results.
a) I got the "trumpet" noise
b) she took the essence (didnt give it back)
c) she then said something like "I don't have time for people who have nothing to say".
Essence is gone (not that I care), no new items in my inventory. She wouldn't accept any other item I tried giving her (she just handed them back).
Is this a clue? Anyone care to try any of the other animists in this fashion?
Moss snake what race are you ingame? Could be race related /shrug. But in the storyline at the moment these Elders are on their way to Muata, not like that means anything to the game but, in the real world that turn in shouldnt fit.
The elders went to go see Muata but that doesn't mean they have to stay in the cat city. You had enough time to talk to the elder then go back to Muata, no reason he didn't have enoug time to make the round trip too.
As for why this Elder vs the others, ya could be a race thing if they are the same. But the one in OT was studying the most similar type of animal to a drogmor. We may find that we have to go back and revisit each of them each for a differnt step. Seems kinda silly to introduce our self to each of them for no more reason then to say hi.
For now I'd keep bugging the OT elder. Try to get him to talk about some kind of ritual to reclaim the essence. Might just need to talk to him and give him the essence, might be a sub quest to get the essence reclaimed.
Sadly, all I have is a vague possibility. There is a red-con mob in Walls of Slaughter, scowls etc.
BUT it is not attackable, I wish I could remember the name properly, but it's something like Feral in it's name.
I didn't have the essence when I saw it, or I'd have tried the turn-in...
Already tried, not working with the feral named in this zone.
