The Corrupted Cache quest guide
This catalog maps every quest currently defined for The Corrupted Cache, based directly on the shipped simulation tables. Use prerequisites to understand chains and objective labels to plan a route from Parity Gate.
How to use this catalog
Collect quests sharing the same area before leaving the hub, follow prerequisite chains in order, and treat suggested-player labels as encounter guidance rather than matchmaking guarantees. Exact tuning and availability can change with a deployed build.
Muster at Parity Gate
Given by: brother_aldric · Turn in: Warden Fenwick · Prerequisite: None
- 1 × Parity Gate Muster Order (collect)
Rewards: 300 XP and 200 copper.
Morthen's writings named a master in the southern marsh — 'the Drowned Signal.' Now Warden Fenwick has sounded the muster horn at Parity Gate, and the dream does not deal in coincidence, the Witness. Take the causeway south into the Corrupted Cache, pull the muster order from the gatepost, and present it to the Warden.
Teeth in the Static
Given by: Warden Fenwick · Turn in: Warden Fenwick · Prerequisite: None
- 12 × Cache Prowler slain (kill)
Rewards: 800 XP and 300 copper.
The Cache Prowlers have learned what a supply mule sounds like, and now they hunt the causeway itself. Last week they dragged a courier into the Static Reeds not fifty paces from this gate — the fen ate his signal before his scream. Thin them out, the Witness: twelve dead prowlers ought to teach the rest fear.
Pelts for the Causeway
Given by: Provisioner Hale · Turn in: Provisioner Hale · Prerequisite: None
- 8 × Cache Prowler Pelt (collect)
Rewards: 850 XP and 350 copper.
Every plank of that causeway rests on pilings wrapped in oiled prowler hide — the only thing the data-rot will not chew through. My stock is gone and the south spans are already sinking out of render. Bring me 8 unspoiled Cache Prowler pelts, the Witness, before we are all wading back to Firstlight.
The Unrouted Caravan
Given by: Provisioner Hale · Turn in: Provisioner Hale · Prerequisite: None
- 5 × Unrouted Caravan Goods (collect)
Rewards: 900 XP and 350 copper.
A caravan out of Firstlight went into the mist three days back and never rang the gate bell. Unrouted, the wardens call it — lost between one point and the next. The wreck is strewn the whole length of the causeway, crates and casks sinking slow into the stagnant buffers. Salvage 5 loads of goods before the Cache finishes the job.
The Shallows Stir
Given by: Warden Fenwick · Turn in: Warden Fenwick · Prerequisite: None
- 12 × Glitchfin Snapper slain (kill)
Rewards: 1000 XP and 400 copper.
The glitchfin kept to their shallows for twenty years — half fish, half error, content to flicker in the murk. Now they swarm the east bank like flies on a carcass, and my wardens say they are dragging things up from the buffer bed. Whatever has them stirred, I want it stopped. Cull 12 of the snappers.
Idols from the Buffer
Given by: Acolyte Aldric · Turn in: Acolyte Aldric · Prerequisite: The Shallows Stir
- 5 × Waterlogged Null-Idol (collect)
Rewards: 1050 XP and 400 copper.
Fenwick's wardens say the glitchfin dredge idols from the buffer's bottom and clutch them like holy relics. If those idols carry the mark I fear, I must see them with my own eyes. Take 5 from the Glitchfin Snappers — they will not part with them kindly.
Back to the Shallows
Given by: Warden Fenwick · Turn in: Warden Fenwick · Prerequisite: Idols from the Buffer
- 14 × Glitchfin Snapper slain (kill)
Rewards: 1100 XP and 450 copper.
Aldric says those idols are Null-make — which means the glitchfin are hauling the marsh's old deletion up out of the deep one armful at a time. I will not have it washing onto my causeway. Go back to the Glitchfin Shallows and break the dredging for good: 14 more snappers.
Thread and Venom
Given by: Herbalist Yara · Turn in: Herbalist Yara · Prerequisite: None
- 10 × Lattice Widow slain (kill)
- 6 × Widow Venom Sac (collect)
Rewards: 1200 XP and 450 copper.
Widow venom is the only thing that draws cache-rot from a wound — I bled a man of it just this morning. But the lattice west of the road has gone from nuisance to horror; the webs are taking deer whole now, winding them into the weave thread by thread. Kill 10 Lattice Widows and cut me 6 venom sacs, whole and unburst.
Mother of Threads
Given by: Herbalist Yara · Turn in: Herbalist Yara · Prerequisite: Thread and Venom
- 8 × Lattice Widow slain (kill)
- 1 × Mother of Threads slain (kill)
Rewards: 1250 XP and 500 copper.
You have seen the webs — now ask yourself what spins threads thick as a man's wrist. The wardens call her the Mother of Threads, and her clutch hangs over the Widow Lattice like a second canopy. Burn through 8 more widows and put the old mother down before that clutch wakes.
The Drowned Deallocated
Given by: Acolyte Aldric · Turn in: Acolyte Aldric · Prerequisite: None
- 12 × Drowned Deallocated laid to rest (kill)
Rewards: 1400 XP and 500 copper.
Travelers drowned on the causeway are walking out of the buffers, the Witness — still hung with the weeds they died in. This is no restless haunting. Drowning leaves no marks; it makes obedient corpses — souls deallocated, then run again as something else. Someone is filling this fen like a tithing box. Return 12 of the Drowned Deallocated to their rest.
Censers from the Deep
Given by: Acolyte Aldric · Turn in: Acolyte Aldric · Prerequisite: The Drowned Deallocated
- 4 × Rusted Censer (collect)
Rewards: 1300 XP and 500 copper.
South of the widow buffer stands the Drowned Chantry — it sank with its congregation mid-hymn when the marsh rose, and the dream never wrote them out. The dead there carry rusted censers: funerary ones, the kind swung at a Null rite. Gather 4 from the chantry yard and I will read what rite was sung over that water.
No Rest in the Reeds
Given by: Acolyte Aldric · Turn in: Acolyte Aldric · Prerequisite: Censers from the Deep
- 14 × Drowned Deallocated laid to rest (kill)
Rewards: 1500 XP and 550 copper, plus a class-archetype item choice.
The rite on those censers binds the drowned to rise wherever the marsh touches them — and the marsh touches everything. There will be no rest in these reeds until the Deallocated outnumber the living. We cannot unmake the rite yet, but we can empty it of soldiers. Lay 14 more of the Drowned Deallocated to rest.
Mounds of the Cache
Given by: Warden Fenwick · Turn in: Warden Fenwick · Prerequisite: None
- 12 × Corrupted Custodian slain (kill)
Rewards: 1600 XP and 600 copper.
The Corrupted Custodians have torn open the old barrow-mounds east of the far buffer. They were keepers once — set by the dream to tend its buried memory — and the rot has turned them to grave-robbers of their own archive. Whatever they think is down there, what they are letting OUT is worse. Drive them off the mounds: 12 custodians dead ought to do it.
Fetish and Bone
Given by: Scout Maren · Turn in: Scout Maren · Prerequisite: Mounds of the Cache
- 8 × Custodian Fetish (collect)
Rewards: 1650 XP and 600 copper, plus a class-archetype item choice.
I crawled the Custodian Mounds two nights past. Those fetishes they plant are not custodian-craft — the knots are wrong, the bones are man-bones, and every one points at the open barrows like a signpost. Bring me 8 of them and I will prove to Fenwick who is really paying for this dig.
The Glutton
Given by: Provisioner Hale · Turn in: Provisioner Hale · Prerequisite: None
- 1 × Grubjaw's Tusk (collect)
Rewards: 1700 XP and 700 copper, plus a class-archetype item choice.
There's one custodian the others won't dig beside — Grubjaw, the Glutton. He ate my last two pack-mules, harness and all, and the ledger that recorded them, as if the Cache itself were hungry through him. He prowls the far eastern mounds, the Witness. Bring me his tusk and I will outfit you proper.
Robes in the Reeds
Given by: Scout Maren · Turn in: Scout Maren · Prerequisite: None
- 12 × Null Cultist slain (kill)
Rewards: 1800 XP and 700 copper.
There — south past the third buffer, where the mist never lifts. Grey robes, grey banners: the Null's faithful, camped in the open like they already own the Cache. They have stopped hiding, the Witness, which means they think they have already won. Prove them wrong. Cut down 12 of their cultists.
Silencing the Invokers
Given by: Acolyte Aldric · Turn in: Acolyte Aldric · Prerequisite: Robes in the Reeds
- 8 × Null Invoker slain (kill)
- 4 × Null Cipher (collect)
Rewards: 1900 XP and 750 copper.
Maren's reports name invokers among the cultists — voices that call the drowned up out of the water like hounds to a whistle, each summons spoken like an instruction the dead cannot refuse. Their ciphers will spell out the chain of command. Silence 8 invokers and bring me 4 of their ciphers.
The Deacon of the Cache
Given by: Warden Fenwick · Turn in: Warden Fenwick · Prerequisite: Silencing the Invokers
- 1 × Deacon Voss slain (kill)
Rewards: 2200 XP and 1000 copper, plus a class-archetype item choice.
So a deacon of the Null stands at the heart of that camp, singing my drowned wardens up out of the buffers to serve him. His hymn ends today. Take the camp road south, the Witness, and put Deacon Voss in the ground — deep enough that nobody sings HIM back up.
The Flooded Archive
Given by: Acolyte Aldric · Turn in: Acolyte Aldric · Prerequisite: The Deacon of the Cache
- 1 × Archive Ward Stone (collect)
Rewards: 1200 XP and 500 copper.
The Flooded Archive — a knight's hold raised to guard the dream's records, drowned in the fen a century ago — is where Voss's letters point, and where this Drowned Signal sings his drowning hymns. The cult has warded its door with grave-stones. Bring me one of the ward stones, the Witness, and I will unweave the seal.
The Knight-Commander's Shame
Given by: Scout Maren · Turn in: Scout Maren · Prerequisite: The Flooded Archive
- 1 × Knight-Commander Olen laid to rest (kill)
Rewards: 1800 XP and 800 copper, plus a class-archetype item choice.
Knight-Commander Olen held the Archive when it sank — drowned at his post rather than abandon it. Every warden learns his name with pride. Now the Drowned Signal has raised him as a puppet to guard the very door he died defending — a Deallocated thing wearing a hero's render. That shame ends, the Witness. Take four companions below and grant Olen the rest he earned.
The Drowned Signal
Given by: Acolyte Aldric · Turn in: Acolyte Aldric · Prerequisite: The Flooded Archive
- 1 × Vael, the Drowned Signal slain (kill)
Rewards: 2800 XP and 2500 copper, plus a class-archetype item choice.
At the bottom of the Archive waits Vael, the Drowned Signal — Morthen's master, Voss's master, the voice that has drowned a hundred travelers to raise itself an army of the Deallocated. He is far beyond any one Witness: take four companions, no fewer. End him, the Witness, and the fen's dead may finally lie still.
