Bloodstone Caves

Description
''Many adventurers have told legends of the Bloodstone, and a few brave souls claim to have seen them. Even after hearing these stories, standing in the presence of such power is still quite... intoxicating. A brilliant Asuran researcher named Gadd assisted us in our search for another Bloodstone. With our help, the Asura would have to decipher a series of insciptions placed by the guardians... odd creatures called inscribed ettins... before we could reach the legendary relic. The guardians were busy shoring up their defenses, and our allies in the Shining Blade had taken an interest in their activities. Their scouts, always on the lookout for enchanted weaponry to use in their struggle against the White Mantle, noticed the Ettins returning to this place repeatedly, where they harvested some sort of magical essences. Barthalos believed they could be weaponized for the Shining Blade's war effort.

Getting There
Go straight east from Gadd's Encampment, hugging the south wall. With careful manuevering you can avoid any fights on the way there.
 * When you get there, it will look like its blocked by a stone wall. The wall will begin to animate and lift out of the way. If you are in a hurry, you can walk through the stone wall to get to the portal.

Quests
Completing this dungeon requires three linked quests, all given by Saerin in Gadd's Encampment:
 * The Blade's Essence: Level 1: Killing Paranoia Ettin he will drop the dungeon key required to proceed to level two. He will also drop the quest item Shimmering Essence, required to get your quest reward from Saerin.
 * The Arrow's Point: Level 2: Killing the Crystal Ettin will drop the dungeon key required to proceed to level three. He will also drop the quest item Arcane Crystal Shard, required to get your quest reward from Saerin.
 * Crystal Method: Level 3: Killing the Eldritch Ettin will drop the quest item Spectral Crystal, required to get your quest reward from Saerin. Killing him will also complete the dungeon and spawn the Eldritch Chest. The chest will give one drop (gem, gold or green) for each party member. This quest is repeatable.
