The Taste of Fear

Location: South of Cey-Tarn Wayshrine, west of Cey-Tarn Keep
Quest-giver: Silurie

Description: Soldiers at Cey-Tarn Keep have been getting taken and slaughtered in the night and no one knows why. Help Silurie work around the slow-to-action Divine Prosecution and get to the bottom of this case.

Distract Revelator Lindafwe

Head up the hill to Cey-Tarn Keep and speak with Revelator Lindafwe to distract her. After Silurie enters the building, follow suit by entering through the main gate. Turn left to find Silurie behind a stack of boxes. Talk to her, then wait for her to cast her spell.

Follow the Light of Stendarr

As soon as she finishes her spell, you must chase after an orb of light. It will take you east to the upper levels of the keep; then it will head inside the keep proper. Follow the orb into the Cey-Tarn Keep barracks.

As soon as you enter, the orb will quickly race to a vase on the second floor. Inspect it and you’ll be transported to a room with a desiccated corpse. Inspect all of the items in the room, then exit by examining the vase once more.

Meet Silurie in the Refectory

Head back downstairs and exit through the door you entered from. Outside, head left to reach the refectory. Inside the refectory, go into the next room and speak with Justiciar Hyircil. Head down the stairs and through the door to reach the cellar.

Head through the portal on the room’s other side.

This area is full of enemies, so be on your guard. As soon as you enter Shadow Cey-Tarn, head to the room on the right and go downstairs. You face off with an Ogrim and Ogrim Firebelly. The Ogrim will come right at you with melee attacks, while the Firebelly will hang back and sling ranged fire-based attacks. You’ll have no choice but to focus on the Ogrim first. After you defeat it, attack the Firebelly. Watch for the Firebelly’s AoE attacks. Basic Ogrim can already deal a decent amount of damage; getting hit by fire attacks will make this fight significantly harder.

Just behind the Ogrim is a note on the ground. Read it, then move down the hall and turn right through the door ahead. Head down the stairs and try to stay close to the room’s north side. There are several Ogrim on this side of the room that you need to clear out, as there’s another enemy in the center of the room that you should fight with undivided attention.

Watcher

The Watcher’s attack patterns are far from complicated, but if you allow the Ogrim on the room’s north side to get involved in the fight, defeating it will become a much more dangerous feat. At the start of the fight, immediately go behind it and stick to the room’s south side. If you’re unlucky enough to be fighting the Watcher long enough to allow for the Ogrim to respawn, you’ll be in deep netch leavings. Sticking to the room’s south side completely negates this risk.

The Watcher will spend most of its time pelting you with a basic eye-laser attack, but periodically it will reel back and shoot out a three-pronged eye laser, which it will drag across the ground in front of it. You can’t do much about the base laser attack, save for blocking, but you can absolutely get out of the way of the second one. If the second attack hits you, you’ll be temporarily stunned. Roll to shake it off, then get back into the fight.

Talk to Justiciar Hyircil

After defeating the Watcher, speak with Justiciar Hyircil, who is lying on the ground behind where the Watcher was positioned.

Head into the keep cellar once you’re done talking. Go down the stairs and enter the lair of the Insatiable.

The Insatiable

You’ll have to fight the Insatiable in this room in order to save Revelator Lindafwe. The Insatiable will mostly rely on chasing you and performing melee attacks, but it will also spit out a wide-spreading acid attack in front of it. It can be hard to see the path of the AoE on the ground because of the color of the floor, but if the Insatiable stops attacking, assume it’s about to spit and get behind it or to its side.

It can also summon two other Hungers to join the fight and help it temporarily. You can kill these, but not if it means being surrounded by all three of them. Instead, focus on evasion until the Hungers disappear, then get back to your attack on the Insatiable.

The Insatiable will also grab you on occasion and begin draining your health and healing itself in the process. Knock it off of you immediately to stop it from healing and to free yourself from its grasp.

Meet Your Allies Outside the Lair

Exit the lair through the marked door, then head through the portal on the opposite side of the room. Speak with Revelator Lindafwe in the next room.

You’re currently on the top floor of the entry room in the Vaults of Heinarwe. You’ll bump into a gryphon on the other end of the bridge ahead. You can try and fight it, or you can run straight past it and through the door to avoid the fight altogether. Gryphons are challenging enemies, so if you’re sporting for a fight, make sure you have a heal ability slotted in your action bar.

Find the Source of the Magicka Ripple

Enter the altar room behind the gryphon and head down to its lower level. Speak with Revelator Lindafwe when she appears on the lower level with you. Examine the book behind the large monument in the center of the room. It will give you instructions on how to use the monument. If you want the solution, read the “Using the Monument” note.

Enter the portal once you’ve completed the ritual.

Once Teraniel dies, head back through the portal you came through and speak with Silurie. You will be rewarded with Greaves of the Insatiable for completing the quest.
