Meltdown

Slay 6 Zan'thik Venomstings in Zan'vess. Use Korven's Experimental Grenade to counter their armor plating.

• slain (6)
• Korven's Experimental Grenades (provided)

The venomsting scorpions on Zan'vess are fed sap from a young age, causing a fascinating mutation in which their natural armor plating becomes infused with amber. Effectively, it's organic kyparite, the same substance used in forging most of the empire's weapons and armor.

I think I've found a way to chemically break down kyparite, but it needs testing. Use these grenades on the Zan'thik venomstings and observe the results.

The kypari truly are amazing. They color the entire ecosystem around them in ways I had never thought possible.

The kyparite ignited, did it? Fascinating!

Not exactly what I was hoping for, but it's something.

Head southwest off the mainland to Zan'vess. Get started killing mantid. And the named, Vess-Guard Vik'az, who patrols the housing complex center of the island just south of the kypari tree itself. And the kypari worms, looking for Kyparite Shards. And looting the Dreadspore Bulbs on the ground, mindful of the Haunts of Fear that may come out or any of the other random debuffs... And killing the Thought-Bound Miners for their Zan'thik Shackles. And testing out Korven's Experimental Grenades on the Zan'thik Amberhusks on the western side of the island.

Finally, don't forget to kill Kypa'rak and loot the Massive Kyparite Core from its corpse, which starts Kypa'rak's Core, the "hidden" daily of Zan'vess.
