Dialogue

Walkthrough
This quest is straightforward in terms of where to go and what to do. Getting there through the titans is the difficult part. The forces of titans in this region are led by the gigantic Frost Titan; upon its death it spawns an Icy Brute and a Titan's Malice. The Brute will spawn a Dark Titan and the Malice will spawn a Titan's Heart.

Travel to Granite Citadel and take the northern exit into Tasca's Demise. Here you will get your first taste of the new titans. With this quest accepted, the area now contains mesmer titans (Titan's Malice) and monk titans (Titan's Heart). Head northeast to exit into Mineral Springs.

At the first fork in the road, take the right path and stay with it. It will wind and turn until you reach a resurrection shrine. Past it, you will find a narrow path in the mountain. Inside that path you will find Evirso Sectus, a necromancer boss.

Tips:

 * Fire damage is incredibly effective on this quest.
 * The Avicara and titans are hostile to each other. On several occasions, this can be used to get a group of each to fight each other.
 * Frost Titans, Titan's Malices and Icy Brutes spawn smaller titans when killed. Do not kill too many of them at the same time, or you will be overwhelmed.
 * Consider taking Greater Conflagration and using physical damage.
