Walk Through

This quest opened up with a live event during the Children of the Prodigal Lord patch. It currently has no starting rumor or NPC to speak to.

To start the quest, head to Stonehold. From there, head west 67.2N, 27.1W where you will find the dungeon Hidden Laboratory (150+, cannot be tied to, recalled to, or summoned). The dungeon's layout is not entirely linear, so it might not be the best idea to simply run through to the end. Inside you will fight new high level Simulacra, A new type of hollow minion, tuskers, and virindi.

When you reach a large room with a door made of glowing energy, you must kill a special named Virindi and loot the key off it. If you have high lockpicking skill it may be possible to pick the door though, as it's resistance goes down to 600 when debuffed. Still - it may be faster and safer to simply kill the Virindi.

Further in the dungeon, you will come across a large room with no floor and a pit full of energy. There is actually an invisible floor here, and you can safely run across to the other side, where you will find another door opened with the same key from earlier. Eventually you will reach the final room. In the final room will be a bunch of monsters, a special Virindi Demerax the Sculptor, and Dojiro Sangi, the missing grocer from Candeth Keep, who now looks similar to Martine but with a black robe and red amulet.

Dojiro Sangi tells you, "Help... me..."

Dojiro Sangi tells you, "They're turning me into some kind of monster! I hear... voices... inside my head... telling me to... Enighten? everyone? I don't... understand..."

Dojiro Sangi tells you, "You need, to stop this... for me... I can't... become... this thing."

Dojiro Sangi's eyes come into focus on you, and a look of wild desperation fills his ruined face, beneath the mask.

Dojiro Sangi tells you, "The potion they use on me! It's supposed to be dangerous, if not given slowly! Give it to me! Give me the Bottle! Help me ruin what they are doing to me!!"

Dojiro Sangi's voice changes, taking on a calm, almost metallic quality.

Dojiro Sangi tells you, "You will not harm my Prodigal Child. He is your salvation, your race's chance at Enlightenment. He is one of my beloved vessels, our Future! Leave him be, it is only the pains of rebirth that he feels. He will unify us all!"

Dojiro Sangi casts Synaptic Misfire on you.

Dojiro Sangi casts Self Loathing on you.

Kill Demerax the Sculptor and loot the Paradox-infused Potion and Virindi Messege Shard from him. Give the potion to Dojiro Sangi.

Demerax the Sculptor is incinerated by your assault!

Demerax the Sculptor screams in rage as he dies!

A searing pain fills your mind, carrying the following words along with it, "You won't stop the Master's plans! It's too late to stop him now!"

You give Dojiro Sangi Paradox-infused Potion.

Dojiro Sangi tells you, "Yes!!"

Dojiro Sangi guzzles down the Paradox-infused Potion.

Dojiro Sangi screams, his voice echoing with the sound of multiple voices, crying out in unison!

Dojiro Sangi tells you, "Thank you... Please... Take this... home..."

Dojiro Sangi gives you Dojiro Sangi's Ring.

Dojiro Sangi's eyes flash with violet light, and a cold humming fills the room.

A voice fills your mind, "Pray for death, little meat-bag. Your attempts will not foil me forever..."

With a final shudder, Dojiro Sangi's form disintegrates.

Head to Candeth Keep. Give the ring to Ryukai Hiro who is outside the grocer's shop.

You give Ryukai Hiro Dojiro Sangi's Ring.

Ryukai Hiro tells you, "You have something for me?"

Ryukai Hiro tells you, "I recognize this... Where did you get this?"

You tell Ryukai Hiro about your encounter with Dojiro Sangi in Aerbax's Lab.

Ryukai Hiro tells you, "I see. It is a great sadness that things needed to turn out this way, but you did the right thing, and saved Sangi from a terrible fate. Please, allow me to reward you."

Ryukai Hiro grants to you the title, "Dojiro Sangi's Savior".

You've earned 141,002,626 experience. (level 173)

Head to Diyas al-Yat to get the messege shard translated.

Lore

Dojiro Sangi went missing some time ago, along with a drudge near holtburg, Harraag the Banderling, the Aun Town Crier from Timaru, and Claude the Virindi mage of Ayan.

We have finally learned the fate of Dojiro. Thankfully we was not fully turned by Aerbax, and with our help, he have ended his new tortured life and rendered Aerbax's Prodigal Isparian experiment useless.
