Quest Overview

This quest is the second quest in the Shadow Invasion Quest Chain. You must have completed Shadow Communication prior to starting this quest. This quest can only be completed once per character.

At the end of this quest you have 2 options for getting rewards, with the only difference being the title awarded. Which title you choose is entirely optional and does not have any known impact/effect on the rest of the quest chain.

Completing this quest allows you to do the next quest in the series, Fate of Bael'Zharon, after a 20 hour timer expires.

Walk Through

Speak to Isin Dule (in Arwic), and he will give you a Message from Isin Dule to Asheron.
- Warning: If you do not speak to him you can get stuck in an uncompletable state where you cannot turn in your crystal (he will say he does not know what to do with that).
Enter The Shadows at 29.5S, 94.2E in Tou-Tou.

Siding with Isin Dule

Make your way to the Strange Crystal. It is located in a small room on the west side of the dungeon. See the map for details. You will need to kill void objects which block the pathways to get there.
Use the Crystal to obtain the Strange Purple Crystal from The Shadows.
Travel to Asheron's Castle and give the Emissary of Asheron standing next to Asheron the Message from Isin Dule to Asheron. He will take the crystal also and give you experience, luminance, and the title "Illuminating the Shadows".

Siding with Black Ferah/Ler Rhan

Make your way through the dungeon and back to Ler Rhan, similar to the first quest in the series, Shadow Communication.
Give Ler Rhan the Message from Isin Dule to Asheron. He give you experience, luminance, and the title "Undercover of Darkness".
- If you happened to also loot a crystal while in the dungeon, Ler Rhan will not take it. You will have to give it to a Town Crier to get rid of it.
