The Heart of Corruption Walkthrough
For The Heart of Corruption quest, you’ll need to clear the blight from Beacon Island. There will be three sources of corruption in the Crossroads.
Source of Corruption #1
You must complete the Gate of Deep Sorrows quest to reach this area!
The first source of corruption can be found at the spot shown below on the map in the Converged City in the Crossroads.
To reach this source of corruption, you must first put a stop to the skeletons being reanimated by slaying the general behind the gate. Afterwards, you can lower the gate by bringing a nearby wisp to the pedestal.
Facing the gate, head left up the stairs and follow that path around to the south, where you’ll find a Blight Cyst. Destroy it to reach a room. Inside this room, head through the door and take on the Level 32 Betrayal of Felassan boss. After defeating this boss, you’ll be able to collect the Revenant Essence.
After collecting the essence, travel to the Beacon Island Beacon then head south. Place the Revenant Essence into the door.
Source of Corruption #2
You must first complete the Gate of Parched Hopes quest in order to unlock this area. Once the path has been unsealed, head deeper inside Elvhenan’s Haven in the Crossroads and follow the path to reach the Level 37 Slaughter of the Pillars, who can be found sitting on his throne.
After collecting the essence, travel to the Beacon Island Beacon then head south. Place the essence into the door.
Source of Corruption #3
You must first complete the Gate of Pale Reflections quest in order to unlock this area. Once the path has been unsealed, head into the Heights of Athim. Follow the path into the boss arena where you’ll need to defeat the Undead Horde to get the Level 42 Fall of the Protector to rise from his throne. Once he does, take him out!
After collecting the essence, travel to the Beacon Island Beacon then head south. Place the essence into the door.
Investigate the Blighted Pathway
Head inside the freshly unsealed door and follow the path. Destroy the cysts to proceed. At the bottom, you’ll encounter the Level 50 Revenant Dragon!! Take it down to complete the quest!!
