Patch 9.2 Campaign "Secrets of the First Ones"

Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4
Chapter 5 | Chapter 6 | Chapter 7

Patch 9.2 PTR - Main Campaign Chapter 3
Today we are taking a look at chapter 3 of the main campaign in Patch 9.2. Keep in mind all of this is subject to change before release! *Spoilers Ahead*

Chapter 3 - Forming an Understanding
  • The chapter starts off with Pelagos suggesting that we turn our attention to the devourers causing trouble in the east. Kleia decides to stay in Haven and watch over things while you assist him.
  • You investigate a bunker called the Cradle of Nascence, discovering something crying for help from the other side.
  • You find an Oracle channeling on the other side, and attempt to understand her. She needs protection from the devourers, which you provide. After dealing with a harvester, she tells you to help restore the Shadowlands by seeking knowledge, but collapses before she can finish her thought. Pelagos suggests you bring her back to Haven.
  • Back in Haven, the elders berate Pelagos for meddling with the Oracle, to which he explains that she asked for their help. They don't believe an oracle would ever gift her words to his kind, and Pelagos asks you to back him up.
  • Pelagos suggests that we seek out Firim since the elders won't help, and asks them where he is. They refuse to speak about him, and you are forced to search the area for clues about where he could have gone. You find a letter from an enlightened named Xevveth who says Firim has been seen west of the Forge of Afterlives.
  • On the way to the location, you find an assassin has killed Xevveth in the middle of the road. It flees before you can apprehend it, and find a map to Firim on the corpse left behind.
  • You approach a cave with the same magic used to protect Haven, and enter to find Firim working amongst some automa. His defenses stop you and he comes to investigate, thinking he captured more assassins. He recognizes you, and Pelagos says we need his help. He scoffs that you lead the assassins right to his hideout, and he should be the one that is helped, but lets you in none the less.
  • Firim does not believe an Orarcle would communicate with you, and Pelagos goes to retrieve her while you go outside and reset some traps while dealing with assassins.
  • When you finish, Pelagos has brought the Orarcle to Firim and explains how she got in this condition. Pelagos states that she mentioned a core before collapsing, and Firim says it might be the one they found earlier. An unimplemented scene has him toy with the core, awakening the oracle for a brief moment and turning the core into a small round automa.
  • This automa runs to a nearby cypher console and begins to jump up and down. Firim says he has never managed to get it working, but you are able to start it up. The automa rushes off again, and Firim thinks it might be trying the same on the other consoles around Zereith Mortis. He marks them on your map and tells you to examine them, with him there to accompany you of course. Pelagos stays behind to watch the Oracle.
  • What follows is you chasing the automa to 3 different consoles before it leading you to a cave. You must help save it from a wolf construct before discovering a dormant echoism, which may be the key to helping understand the automa.
  • Back in Firim's cave, the automa leads you back to the console and you unlock the first part of communicating with them, translating his bleeps into his name, Pocopoc. You also gain the ability to summon him in Zereth Mortis to assist you, as well as unlocking some daily and world quests in the area.
  • You then return to Haven to inform Bolvar on your findings.

Patch 9.2 Campaign "Secrets of the First Ones"

Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4
Chapter 5 | Chapter 6 | Chapter 7

Patch 9.2 PTR - Main Campaign Chapter 2
Today we are continuing our preview of the main story campaign on the Patch 9.2 PTR with chapter 2! *SPOILERS AHEAD*

Chapter 2 -We Battle Onward
  • Now having an established outpost in Haven, Bolvar suggests accompanying Shandris to infiltrate the Mawsworn forces from the east at the Forge of Afterlives; a place near Provis Strata. Meanwhile, Darion takes covenant forces and makes a push from the west.
  • Shandris remarks that the Mawsworn movements here seem to indicate that a bulk of their forces are elsewhere. She hides you both in shadow, but tells you to avoid the gaze of the patrolling dreadlords while you infiltrate the enemy.
  • You spy on the leaders at several locations, discovering that the Mawsworn are using dominated automa to tamper with the obelisks in hopes of gaining access to the Sepulcher. They have already destroyed an Obelisk, and it is made known that these power the Forge of Afterlives. The remaining ones must be protected.
  • You reconvene with Darion in the west to slay some Mawsworn and help the covenant forces. You then head to the nearby obelisk to protect it from dreadlords, only to find their commander, Kin'tessa, channeling on it. After fighting off waves of dreadlords, she escapes and you are left to fight with a converted guardian.
  • You inform everyone about your discoveries upon returning to Haven, and are then sent back to the Forge of the Afterlives to help the covenant forces again.
  • When you complete these tasks and return to Bolvar, he believes that your ranks have been infiltrated and sends you back to find the culprit.
  • You approach to see someone that looks exactly like you. Upon engaging them, you discover that it is Mal'ganis in disguise. Jaina and Baina come to help you, and Mal'ganis escapes.
  • Jaina says that Anduin has been sighted near the center structure, and you travel there with the help of her magic. During the trip, Jaina hopes that Anduin is alone and that they can save him from the Jailer's domination.
  • Upon arriving, a cutscene plays showing Anduin channeling on the Oracle there. The Jailer arrives just as the domination finishes, and the Oracle awaits his request. He tells it to open the way, and the Oracle teleports him and Anduin away to the Sepulcher.
  • Jaina opens a portal back to Haven, and remarks that Anduin's blade seems familiar, as if a familiar presence is within it. She hopes they can find a way to save him, but for now the path is closed to them.
  • Back in Haven, Bolvar states that we will not rest until we find a way to follow the Jailer to the Sepulcher.
