Quest – What Was Lost

Quest Giver: Shatasha

What Was Lost

I met a mage named Shatasha in Darkshade Caverns. She has asked for help investigating the Dwemer ruins to find Nervyna, the mine’s owner.

Completing What Was Lost

You must defeat the Transmuted Hive Lord, defeat Grobull, The Transmuted, and defeat the Engine Garrison and the Engine Guardian. Speak with Shatasha to complete the quest.

Completing this quest will reward you with gold, a Skill Point, and the Ancient Netch-Robes, part of the Netch’s Touch armor set.

Trash Enemies

Darkshade Caverns II is a one-level dungeon with six bosses and one quest. The enemies in this dungeon include corrupted Pit Rat warriors, kwama scribs, dwarven spiders, and other Dwarven constructs.

Watch for the armies of Dwarven mechs as they can quickly overwhelm you. Pay attention to interrupt mechanics or they will empower each other.

Boss Encounters

Darkshade Caverns II features six boss encounters. Select a boss below for a full breakdown of its mechanics and strategy.

The Fallen Foreman

A busy fight with plenty happening around the boss and one particularly dangerous attack to watch for.

Transmuted Hive Lord

A controlled fight that becomes increasingly demanding as the boss reaches the later stages.

Transmuted Alit

Three connected bosses make this a fight where balance and control matter from beginning to end.

Grobull the Transmuted

A notorious group killer that becomes far easier once you understand what needs your attention and when.

Engine Garrison (Mech Army)

A massive mechanical army where staying organised is the difference between a controlled fight and complete chaos.

Engine Guardian

The final boss is constantly on the move, with unpredictable changes that can completely alter how the group must react.
