Zalar-do, the vampire lord

Vampire hunter Mel Adrys has come to Hrota Cave to track down the dangerous vampire lord Zalar-do, who has been preying on the people of Anvil. I promised to help him slay the vampire and rescue the victims she kidnapped.

Quick Walkthrough

Help Mel Adrys clear the cave from vampires

1. Talk to Mel Adrys inside Hrota Cave.
2. Find the kidnapped Anvil citizens.
3. Find and kill the vampire lord.
4. Talk to Mel Adrys at the entrance to claim your reward.

Detailed Walkthrough

Mel Adrys will be kneeling on the ground just inside the entrance to Hrota Cave. Speak with him, and he'll tell you about the presence of a dangerous vampire lord, Zalar-do, who enslaves the weak-willed and preys upon the people of Anvil. Agree to help him track her down, and he will shortly vanish, leaving you to locate the vampire alone.

Find the Kidnapped Anvil Citizens

Two of Zalar-do's unfortunate victims, Jakja and Hiwoud, can be found within the main cave. They have become bloodfiends, and must be killed. Jakja can be reached by heading north from the entrance and turning right at the bend. Hiwoud is in a small chamber directly east of the entrance. Once they're dead, it's time to take on the vampire lord herself.

Kill the Vampire Lord

Follow the tunnels northeast to a hidden passage in the rocks. Beware of wisps and fallen warriors on the way. Once inside Zalar-do's cavern, combat will begin as soon as Mel finishes his short speech. While Mel should occupy the attention of her bloodfiends, the vampire herself will attack you, and you must be agile to survive. She moves swiftly and will frequently stun you if you aren't quick enough to dodge. Keeping her at a distance is difficult.

Once she's killed, leave the cavern via the hidden tunnel and return to the entrance of Hrota Cave, where Mel Adrys will be waiting to give you their reward.

Notes

• The vampire and the captured citizens won't exist within the delve before starting the quest.
• All enemies related to this quest don't give experience or loot when killed.
• If you are a vampire, Mel Adrys will comment on this at the end of the quest. This does not affect anything besides dialogue.

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
