General

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.

Lockpick is not required, but can be used instead of the key. However, the key is found in the same room as the door, so picking the lock is not much of a time saver.

Walk Through

1. Head to Stonehold.
2. Head west 67.2N, 27.1W to the Hidden Laboratory (150+, cannot be tied to, recalled to, or summoned).
3. Proceed carefully through dungeon. There are high level Simulacra, Tuskers, Virindi, and Hollow Minions, including the Blight Minion (new to this dungeon).
4. When you reach a large room with a door made of glowing energy, you must either kill the Virindi boss to acquire the key, or pick the door with lockpick (resistance can be reduced to 600 with weaken lock 7).
5. Continue through dungeon. There is a doorway leading to a large pit full of energy. There is an invisible floor here. Cross to the other side and open the energy door with the same key from before or pick it again.
6. Continue to the final room. It is best to destroy the minions before taking on the Virindi boss Demerax the Sculptor.
7. Kill Demerax and loot the Paradox-infused Potion and Virindi Message Shard.
8. Give the potion to Dojiro Sangi, located in the center of the room.
9. Head to Candeth Keep. Give Dojiro Sangi's Ring to Ryukai Hiro who is outside the grocer's shop.
10. [OPTIONAL] Bring Virindi Messege Shard to Diyas al-Yat for translation.

Lore & Dialog

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