Untangling the Sigil

Speak with Bolvar to discuss what to do with the sigil.

• Bolvar Fordragon spoken to
• Sigil brought to the Runecarver
• Primus defended

The Primus's sigil is bound together with the magic of memory. It reminds me of something you have encountered before.

You made an ally of the Runecarver, that poor soul trapped in the bowels of Torghast. He took those memories you found and helped you forge them into weapons and armor.

Perhaps he can separate the sigil from this tangle of memories.

It's our best chance to secure the sigil. But the way will be perilous.

You will receive:

• Tome of Origins (for crafters only)
• 8,150 XP
• +75 reputation with Death's Advance

We are free. There is still hope to fight back against Zovaal.

Speak with Bolvar:

• We must stop the Jailer at any cost.

Consider taking the Animaflow Teleporter to Ve'nari's Refuge, then running through the Portal to Torghast. Head upstairs to the Runecarver's Oubliette, where Heirmir is waiting:

• say

Speak with the Runecarver:

• Have you recovered any more of my memories?
• The more you find, the more both of us shall benefit.

This triggers an in-game cutscene.

• The Maw Walker places the sigil in front of the Runecarver. With a burst of energy that knocks Heirmir and the Maw Walker off their feet, it turns into the symbol of the necrolords and starts floating towards the Runecarver.
• say
• Necrotic energy starts gathering around him.
• say
• The Runecarver absorbs the sigil, which causes bursts of energy to shoot up along his chains.
• say
• The Runecarver reaches up, straining against his chains. When next he speaks, he does so with the voice of the Primus.
• say
• Overflowing with power, the Runecarver snaps the chains. His shackles and mask fly off his body and disintegrate in mid-air. When the smoke clears, the Runecarver has regained his true form as the Primus. Heirmir kneels before him before getting to her feet again.

• The portal down to the antechamber deactivates, and the Jailer's chuckle echoes through the oubliette. The Primus glances around him and sees a blue flame gathering behind his back.

This starts the Defending the Primus scenario:

• Speak to the Primus
• Speak with the Primus

• Zovaal will be upon us at any moment. We must prepare.
• say
• The Primus summons a handful of anima cells.
• say

• Defeat Incoming Mawsworn Forces
• Repel Mawsworn (0/100%)
• The Jailer arrives.
• say
• The two Eternal Ones begin channeling beams of energy at each other.

The Primus buffs the Maw Walker with a few dozen anima powers, increasing max health, crit chance, Curious Miasma, and a few class-specific powers, while the Jailer spawns dozens upon dozens of Mawsworn Rippers, Ravagers, and Destructors who latch chains onto the Primus. Take them all out with Heirmir and the anima powers' help.

At 25%:

At 96%:

• say
• The Jailer takes control of Heirmir and the player and pulls them towards him before chaining them both to the floor. A small Maw portal opens at the Jailer's feet. Anduin emerges and starts casting .
• say

A cutscene plays:

• The camera tracks around the room, looking down from on high as the Primus and the Jailer continue channeling at each other as the Mawsworn army—resurrected by Anduin—look on.
• say
• say
• say
• Anduin pulls out Kingsmourne and holds it up in front of the Primus.
• say
• The Jailer and Anduin launch simultaneous attacks at the Primus, incapacitating the latter. Anduin strikes with his sword, severing the sigil from the Primus's chest. With another swing, Anduin launches the sigil away from the Primus and into the hand of the Jailer, who absorbs it into his body.
• say
• The Jailer teleports himself, Anduin, and the Mawsworn away. The Maw Walker and Heirmir are freed from their chains as the screen fades to black.
