Quest Overview

Mysterious lore quest that involves an enclave of Banderlings fighting a battle against Drudges.

The cavern once contained Harraag, Banderling Champion until he was kidnapped on orders from Aerbax during the Ancient Enemies event. He was later turned into the Prodigal Banderling Harraag.

The Drudge leader—Scrum, Drudge Seraph Mystic—can still be found beyond the sealed door in the eastern part of the cavern.

Walk Through

1. Make your way to the Hidden Cavern found deep inside the Valley of Death.
   • Route: You can use the Dangerous Portal Device from your mansion until you get VoD and then run to the cavern at 37.9S, 65.5W.
2. Once inside, make sure you're buffed as the cavern is full of tough, high health Banderlings and Drudges.
3. The cavern is split into two main sections; heading left at the split leads to the western Banderling inhabited section and heading right takes you into the area populated with Drudges.
   • Warning: There are dispel traps found just after you turn left or right at the first split. They can be jumped over safely (see map).
4. Each section is full of that area's creature, and also piles of rocks and stones, which summon even more creatures if you get too close.
5. To unlock the door in each section you will need the Bone Key, dropped by Banderling Champions, and the Glittering Key, which is dropped by Drudge Seraph Mystics.
   • Note: It appears that the Bone Key has been retired since Harraag was kidnapped and can no longer be found.
6. Once you reach Scrum's lair, you can talk to him and he will force you to kneel, he doesn't appear to have any other purpose and doesn't give rewards or quests.
7. Pick up the Obsidian Shard found behind Scrum's throne if you wish - it can be translated for further lore.

Retired dialog

Scrum

Scrum, Drudge Seraph Mystic tells you, "You are not worthy of the air that mighty Scrum breathes! Scrum has been touched by the beast of thirteen floating eyes. Scrum now enacts the will of the beast of thirteen floating eyes. The purge of the natural order begins with the Banderling. Too long have we, the drudge been subject to their wangas. Scrum now leads the Drudge Seraph, and Dnaraag shall be brought low! Such is the will of the beast of thirteen floating eyes."

Harraag

Harraag, Banderling Champion tells you, "I, Harraag. Forgive words not mine, I make them best I can. We wanga here. It our homes and Drudge try steal. Most smart Drudge become. Not like home, old home. Dnaraag chieftain, wants safe place for tribe. Find this home. No peace here. Only Wanga."

Harraag, Banderling Champion tells you, "Drudge grow smarter. Drudge make better wanga. Gods shine not on banderlings. Wanga goes poorly. The drudge not natural."
