Blacktide Den (mission)

Mission Objectives and Rewards
Tahlkora must be in your party.

Must have completed Following the Trail.

Having Sunspears in Kryta or Sunspears in Cantha active prevents you from joining this mission.

Objectives
Find General Kahyet. Prevent her from striking a deal with Ironfist, the corsair captain.


 * ADDED Eliminate Ironfist's envoy and crew.
 * ADDED Steal the corsair garb.
 * ADDED Pass through the Kournan check point.
 * ADDED Follow Captain Besuz to the meeting with Kahyet.
 * ADDED Kill General Kahyet.
 * BONUS Clear Lahtenda Bog of Rinkhal Monitors.

Primary
The first objective is to eliminate Ironfist's Envoy, and steal their garb. After this you will be disguised as Ironfist's Envoy, and you will be able to follow Captain Besuz to the meeting with General Kahyet. You will encounter many groups of Skale along the way, including a relatively large "stampede" - most of the skale in this group are low-level, though, so it shouldn't pose a problem. Captain Besuz will stop before each group and command you to kill them, and he will advance once the group is dead. As you approach the temple in the southwest, you will encounter a couple groups of Skree.

When you meet General Kahyet, she and Captain Besuz will become hostile. Keep in mind that Kahyet is level 18 and Captain Besuz is level 15. Weakness, blindness, and degeneration are very effective in this fight.

Bonus
The bonus objective is to kill all the Rinkhal Monitors in the swamp, marked by the numbers 1 through 5 on the map. You will encounter the first monitor shortly after disposing of Ironfist's Envoy, before meeting Captain Besuz. There are two more to the east of the first monitor, and two more to the west.

Unfortunately, there are neutral Kournan Guards blocking many of the paths through the swamp, including the shortest routes to the remaining Monitors, so you will have to take the paths marked on the map. Captain Besuz will not follow you, but since he is an NPC and not an ally, he will not be attacked while you are away.
