Prophecies Walkthrough (Part 5: Maguuma Jungle)

1. The Wilds

  • Disposing of the Trolls and Wind Riders directly north of where you spawn should be your first priority in this mission. Continue north until you come to a left turn (west). You will now approach a three-way fork in the road forcing you to choose which way to go.
  • Take the path south and eliminate the enemies along the way. Proceed along the path which will eventually turn west. Keep going west until you spot two centaurs conversing about some sort of meeting. Do not attack them until they are done talking and you receive your bonus objective. Once they are done talking and you have received your bonus objective, eliminate them both and one will drop a vine seed. Grab the vine seed and follow the path north, eliminating the Trolls, Moss Scarabs and Centaurs along the way. After a lengthy trek north you will come to a vine bridge which you should activate by dropping the vine seed on the glowing circle. Once the bridge extends, proceed across until you reach a large body of water. From this point continue directly south killing any centaurs you may encounter. Continue heading south until you find the two Centaur Chieftains. Dispose of them however you please and pat yourself on the back for a job well done. This completes the bonus.
  • Backtrack across the bridge and hang a a right (west). Continue on the path west following the Shining Blade Scout. After making a large loop around the map you finally end up heading south and ultimately reach what looks like a spider tending to some cocoons. After viewing the cinematic you must kill all the spiders in the area in order to save the Chosen. After doing so, you are treated to another cinematic and the mission is complete.

2. Bloodstone Fen



  • Proceed west from where you spawn until you reach Saidra. Speak with her and she will provide you with a vine seed which you will need to activate the vine bridge. After doing so, proceed across and continue heading west clearing the area of foes as you go.
  • To complete the bonus for this mission you have to awaken the four Druids. Finding the path that leads to this can be tricky so follow along with me carefully. You will eventually come to a swamp filled with Wind Riders and a few Root Behemoths. Proceed northeast across the giant root until you come to three vine seed flowers. Pick up one of the seeds and backtrack across the giant root you traversed earlier. If you look southwest from the giant root you will see a passage leading off deeper into the jungle. Head down that path until you come to what looks like a pedestal on the ground. Drop your seed on the pedestal to activate the bonus quest and awaken the first Druid. Before you continue, inform everyone in your party not to attack the Jungle Guardians. If any of these guys die, a group of ravagers will spawn which are much harder to deal with. Traverse the vine bridge that the Druid spawned and continue searching for the three other pedestals. They all require you to place a vine seed on them. There are vine seed flowers scattered throughout the area so you may have to go hunt them down. After awakening the remaining three druids they will all migrate over to a large pedestal and summon the Elder Druid who you must speak with in order to complete the bonus mission.
  • Proceed northeast from this point, you may need to go out of your way to find a few vine seeds. They are usually not far from where they are needed. Eventually you will come to the Bloodstone and be treated to another cinematic. Time to kill Justicar Hablion. He is actually quite easy to kill, provided that your team knows that you should take out his healer(s) first. After successfully slaying Hablion and his White Mantle goons the mission is complete.
3. White Mantle Wrath: Demagogue's Vanguard

This quest is given by Gareth Quickblade.

This quest is quite straightforward: walk into Silverwood and kill the three groups of White Mantle located where the quest markers indicate. The final group is located very close to the entrance to Ettin's Back. Dispatch them and then head into Ettin's Back to locate Councilor Vaylor for the reward. Councilor Vaylor is located right outside the entrance to Ventari's Refuge.

Reward

4. Urgent Warning

This quest is given by Councilor Vaylor.

This quest is very straightforward: journey your way towards Snakebite, then head northeast to Aurora Glade, and speak to Elder Gretchen for your reward.

Reward

5. Aurora Glade

  • Begin by heading southwest through the jungle. You will come to several forks in the next part of this mission so as a rule of thumb keep in mind to continue heading southwest. Eventually you will come to a druid standing next to a thorn pedestal. Speak with the Druid, pick up the rune crystal and bring it to the other thorn pedestal to the west. Follow the path northeast until you reach the second Druid.
  • After clearing out all of the white mantle head directly west until you see an NPC by the name of Less Longbow. He will more than likely be under attack so you will need to save him. After saving Less Longbow speak to him and he will give you your bonus objective. Head back west and pick up the crystal from the pedestal and attune the other pedestals. After doing so quickly run east until you reach another Druid standing next to a thorn pedestal. Pick up the crystal from the pedestal and attune 2 of the 3 pedestals in the area by placing a crystal on each. At this point one of your party members should hang back and keep 2 of 3 pedestals attuned while the rest head directly southeast in search of the Demagogue - the boss you need to kill in order to complete the bonus.
  • After killing the Demagogue, you should have your runner continue and attune the last of the three pedestals. After all three are attuned you will be teleported to another area of the map. Follow the path downhill until you reach a giant creature named the Henge Guardian. After defeating him and the smaller foes around, the mission is complete.

6. Passage Through The Dark River

This quest is given by Shadow.

Follow Carlotta right after exiting Henge of Denravi. Along the way are many groups of Jungle Trolls and Moss Scarabs, with the odd Life Pod thrown in for good measure. Stopping to fight these groups will not cause Carlotta to pause in her trek towards Old Joness, but this doesn't matter as the spider drops Marking Webs every so often to mark the path as the group continues onward. Follow these (there is no need to pick them up) and eventually Old Joness will be located. Carlotta will not be attacked by aggressive mobs in the area, but you cannot auto-follow her either.

It should be noted that you do not have to wait for Carlotta to reach Old Joness in order to speak with him.

When speaking with Old Joness, follow the dialogue tree that is indicated by Shadow when taking the quest: speak about his son, the White Mantle, and he will eventually take you to Riverside Province (outpost) to get the quest reward by delivering Evennia's Secret Orders to Blade Warrior Derikk.

Additionally, if you already have Riverside Province on your map, you can simply map travel there and collect your reward.
