WHY PLAYERS GET STUCK

If you get lost, select "Aetherial Abominations" in the quest log and check which riftgate is closest to the yellow star/circle on the map. Navigate from that riftgate instead of thinking in vague area names.

WALKTHROUGH
  1. 1
    Check the English quest name and destination
    • ▸Select "Aetherial Abominations" in the quest log.
    • ▸Quest giver / contact: Malmouth Resistance / Coven NPCs. If not accepted, check hub NPCs around Malmouth / Steelcap District / Crown Hill.
    • ▸Check which Riftgate is closest to the yellow star/circle on the map.
  2. 2
    Move from a riftgate anchor
    • ▸Use the Malmouth Resistance Rift as your anchor and follow the quest marker toward the relevant road, gate, or cave entrance.
    • ▸At forks, prefer the path that moves closer to the quest marker rather than simply filling the minimap.
    • ▸If the target is a cave, building, or cellar, hover the entrance and verify its English name before entering.
  3. 3
    Complete the objective target
    • ▸Check the English objective name in the quest log, then interact with, kill, or collect the matching target.
    • ▸For kill objectives, clear nearby packs until the quest log updates.
    • ▸For collection objectives, hover small crates, corpses, altars, or bookshelves and verify the English label.
  4. 4
    Report in and continue
    • ▸After completion, return to Malmouth Resistance / Coven NPCs or the turn-in target shown in the quest log.
    • ▸If far away, return to the nearest Riftgate and warp back to the hub.
    • ▸Check rewards, faction changes, and newly unlocked quests before moving on.
STILL LOST?

If lost, return to the Malmouth Resistance Rift and re-orient toward the yellow map marker. If no marker appears, make sure "Aetherial Abominations" is selected/tracked in the quest log.

Specific confusing branches and fixed coordinates will be expanded later. For now, this page prioritizes complete coverage and riftgate-based navigation.
