Patch 9.2 PTR - Main Campaign Chapter 4
Today we are taking a look at chapter 4 in the main campaign of Patch 9.2 Be aware that this could change before release. *SPOILERS AHEAD*

Chapter 4 - Forging a New Plan
  • The chapter begins with Bolvar telling Uther that the risk is too great, to which Uther responds by saying there will be no further treachery. When you investigate, you are shown the Sylvanas cinematic that was released last month in which Uther tries to help Sylvanas wrestle with her own mind.
  • Bolvar then wants you to persuade the Elders of Haven to assist in finding a way to follow the Jailer to the Sepulcher.
  • Two of the elders refuse, but Elder Ara says she will help if you help her first. She says a pilgrimage is in order, and tells you to meet her above Provis Esper.
  • She wants you to collect 3 Progenitor Fragments as clues while also sabotaging devourers that have taken up residence here in the process.
  • With the fragments in hand you set out for Pilgrim's Grace, a sacred site for the Enlightened nearby. The elders there should be able to discover answers using the fragments.
  • There, the fragments begin to react and you are told to discover what is causing it. The source is a translocator on a nearby hill, but when you try to use the fragments they just fall to the ground. Ara tells you to seek out Elder Nirav in Pilgrim's Grace for help.
  • You find him preoccupied and so seek out another named Faruu. He recognizes the fragments as part of a translocator key. From what they have surmised, these channel the energy that flows from the Creation Catalyst to the Forge, but he doubts it can function with the Forge in its current state.
  • Next you talk to Drim, who tells you that the one who can best solve this puzzle is Feroz, but he is missing.
  • Ara says that many pilgrims who ventured to the Catalyst Wards have not returned, which includes Feroz. It is where a lot of the First Ones' newest creations roam. She sends a messenger to Haven to tell them what we have learned. In the meantime, she wants you to meet her outside the Catalyst Wards to try and find the missing pilgrims.
  • When you arrive, Ara has already found Feroz, but he says the others are trapped inside. The Cultivator there have gone mad and started slaying the pilgrims. You are told to kill it while rescuing the others.
  • Next, you head up towards the actual Creation Catalyst to find the Venthyr forces engaged with the enraged plants there. General Draven says he cannot get close to the tower as it is overloaded with excess Progenitor energy. You are tasked with discharging it while dealing with the crazy plants.
  • With the tasks complete, Nadjia suggests we craft a strategy, to which Draven says the only strategy is for him to go first. He flies off which initiates a cutscene where the nearby automa activate and shoot him out of the sky, causing you to have to stage a rescue.
  • Feroz suggests fighting fire with fire, and hands you a potion he concocted from creation energy. You drink it and grow in size while sprouting thorns and turning green. You also get the ability to hurl creation energy at your targets. You easily dispatch the angry automa with this newfound power.
  • Draven makes it out of harms way and then ferries you up to the tower to activate it and re-forge the key. To do so you must complete a mini game in which you press the correct symbols that appear above the obelisk.
  • With key in hand you return to the translocator at Pilgrim's Grace to find Bolvar and the others have gathered with Sylvanas. Sylvanas says without the means to resist the Jailer's domination, we have no chance against him. She says Anduin might be the key if we can save him, but Jaina angrily interrupts, frustrated that Sylvanas is speaking of freeing him after all she has done. Uther calms her down by saying that she may not trust Sylvanas, but she can trust him. With the fight averted, we prepare to enter the Sepulcher and save Anduin.

    And regarding Jaina: she simply trusts Uther, that's all. There is no swip-swap.

    He says, that Sylvanas might by a key element to save Anduin. So Sylvanas is simply at least a tool to reach Jaina's goal to save Anduin. A tool that she wants to stfu, but still something to not just throw away.

    Imagine she kills Sylvanas and then loses Anduin to the Jailer. You think she could live with that doubt (plus having the problem, that the Jailer would likely just succeed).

    Hearing some people talk here, I hope that you will never be in such a position, in which your emotions might decide about the future of other people, oh my...

    "Yeah! Die, you sucker!"

    "... you just doomed us all with that."

    "Ha! Who cares, I just did what I wanted, lol!"
    From what I've loosely heard, he ends up not being able to help though. Lol

    It'd be OK if Jaina were to stand toe to toe with Sylvanas and say something like "Save Anduin, together. But know this, BANSHEE, I'll trust you ONLY because Uther is vouching for you. If you so much as BREATHE the wrong way I won't hesitate to end your existence." with Thrall in the background clutching his weapon and Baine giving an angry scowl at Sylvanas.

    But... yeah

    Edit:

    Also i realized Thrall and Baine are probably sitting in Oriboros... so... uhh... Bolvar could be the one with his weapon at the ready.

    He doesn't say that HIS presence will help Anduin (though it might, but there is no discussion about if Uther should be imprisoned or killed, making it pointless to talk about that), but Sylvanas' may, since she was the person around when he was turned, since she was the person who did it (what might by the way BE the reason why SHE did it, since if she would have said no, yeah, the Jailer would just have done it himself and he would have given a giant fuck about Anduin staying intact in any way), the person who was with him all the time after this (and they got the memory that they still spoke with each other) and of course she got the most insight of all into the whole Domination and Mourne weapon thing (beside this super shady Primus...).

    What would be simply a lot of worst to say the name. It's actually skilled writing to say more with less. To tell between the lies.

    Ad yes, of course a problem of that writing is when you got people, who are simply unable or don't want to read between the lines and want every single piece of information worded out for them.

    Problem is, when you write for those, you got characters who don't talk like people anymore.

    Especially people who just yell 'this sucks' at everything are not the people who write a lot about WHY it sucks. Who are exactly the people who don't explain their position at all, what makes it almost funny.

    A complete 180 of character just because Uther says "yo she cool Jaina, chill bruh"?

    That's good writing??
