Exact quest requirements
Prerequisite: The Gate of the Core
- 1 × Korgath, the Bound Process slain — kill objective
Quest text: My last sweep of the Core's mouth found chains, the Witness — chains thick as a ship's mast, and something ogre-shaped straining inside them. The cult bound a champion at the threshold: Korgath, fed on rage for longer than either of us has been rendered. Take four companions and put him down — and when the chains come off, do not let him corner you.
