Briefing

Never drown chasing a shard, and if the plate gives way, rescue the living before anything else.

Steps

Working the cistern is the job; if the plate gives way, rescue the living first. Take shelter whenever Shattered Fragment is active.

Reward

  • Tectonic Salve x2
  • 3600 XP
  • 150 Gold
  • 500 Marrowheat Dominion rep

Dialogue

  • Whatever happens down there, do not drown chasing a shard.
  • Down below Shattered, the count is the only thing that genuinely matters.
  • If the plate gives way, you pull the living out first, before anything else.
  • Whenever Shattered Fragment rises, take shelter immediately, and remember that a Shattered Vault Break is also connected to this step. I settle this step at the Shard Hollow.
  • The cut below is dangerous work, not a sightseeing tour.
