Walkthrough
This quest is fairly easy though unpopular among some players. After taking the quest, exit the Temple through the southern exit and head east. There will be several patrols of the Shadow Army to take out. Once your party gets to the clearing that leads to the Tower of Strength you will immediately notice the lava pools of the Lake of Fire.

Head south over the bridge into the Lake of Fire. You will have to fight a few groups of Obsidian Furnace Drakes (sometimes supported by a Smoke Walker) and there is one Infernal Wurm on the way to your left. Using Maelstrom is highly effective in defusing the threat of the Drakes.

When you get to Lord Khobay, the fight itself is easier. The Traitorous Temple Guards around him are not too difficult to dispatch. The most annoying aspect is the presence of an Infernal Wurm right there which will keep blasting your party, so make sure a warrior draws its fire first and make sure other members of your party stay clear of that warrior.

After killing Lord Khobay, return to the temple for your reward.
