In Elysian Hold. Southeastern wing.

Comment by staron

Just jump off at the nearest point; you get teleported right at the wards

Comment by Muhrder

I have had the bug on the followup quest on other toons, but this time upon turning in this quest I was stunned and booted down to the ground. I flew back up and Adrestes has no followup quest to give me. <shrug>

<edit to add> It is 'hopefully' accidental level gating, must be 53 to see the next quest.

Comment by acciojackie

If you try to pick up the next quest after this but cannot, you need to be level 53

Comment by alpanhell

This quest makes me laugh every time I do it. Here are these 'wards' that are supposed to protect these different temples and they're out there in the open and Uther just flies up and disables them :p

Really great protection!

Comment by blinky44

Totally agree that Blizzard should fix this, if someone just wants to run through the campaign the will be at about 52 1/2 when they hit this point and to have to wait to 53 to get the quest does not make sense. I confirmed today that one of my alts had to reach 53 and then go back and pick it up. Took me a few hours of running around and then finding this note to figure out what was wrong.

Comment by Kendrubbin

Straight up stopped caring if the Kyrian live or die at this quest, considering they're apparently all too stupid to post sentries around their wards and let a single dude just fly in and disable them.

Comment by Koekelbag

Small thing to note, both of the Elysian Guardian nearby are conveniently deactivated (a quick run around Elysian Hold shows that yes, these two are the only deactived ones), which might explain how Uther could have come and gone so easily.

Of course, it's still stupid that we couldn't shout for any of the dozen winged Ascended flying around to catch him, so I have to assume he just booked it out of there as fast as he could.

Comment by Triadne

interesting to learn that all the memories are stored in the temple of wisdom, except for the time they told us they were stored in the mnemonic locus. what is it with the writing in this expansion?

Comment by Zefram

If you fall off doing the ward quest, you get caught and brought to the ground. You can then go to a flight point and fly back.

Comment by dospointoh

If you mount while doing this quest, Kleia and Pelagos also get mounts like most quest followers do these days. But for some reason Pelagos has a comically tiny mount. It looks less than half the size of Kleia's, and it makes him sit so low that his feet clip through the floor.

The Wards of Bastion

Investigate the temple wards in Elysian Hold.

	Ward of Purity checked (1)
	Ward of Humility checked (1)
	Ward of Wisdom checked (1)
	Ward of Loyalty checked (1)
	Ward of Courage checked (1)
	Kill Credit: Courage Ward Checked slain (1)

Description

Each temple of Bastion is protected by a ward here in Elysian Hold. As long as the wards hold, no malevolent force can launch an assault. It is concerning that the Forsworn were able to attack Purity in such force... Your orders are to examine the wards. As long as they hold, Bastion stands strong.
