Walkthrough
To find Archivist Ithimar start from Lion's Arch and head west across the bridge. At the sign to the Ascalon Settlement head north. Be careful: This area is heavily patrolled by groups of Fire Imps. At the resurrect shrine follow the sign to Giant's Basin (north-east). You will finally find yourself in a small swamp area (non-poisonous). Close to the eastern end of this swamp are some ruins, on top of which Archivist Ithimar stands.

Immediately after accepting the quest two Level 15 Nightmares will appear at the foot of the ruin (right where most of your party will probably be standing). After defeating them you will get another group of two, then three and finally four Nightmares. Note that those Nightmares are not instantly aggressive, so you have a little time to catch your breath between fights. They also do not attack Archivist Ithimar.
