Background

Jeyne’s army created a breach in the southern mining tunnels, and her soldiers are pushing into the mines. The breach has to be sealed, or Glitterdelve will be overrun.

Walkthrough

You’ll receive this quest from Queen Roslyn (#1) after completing the quest The Tumbledown Court.

Travel to Southern Tunnels

Just inside the Southern Mining Tunnels, you’ll meet up with Roderick (#3). He’ll warn you that the tunnels have been overrun by Jeyne’s “dogs,” and he’ll ask you to collect explosive powder so you can use it to collapse the breach.

Gather Explosive Powder

You’ll find four Black Powder Satchels (#4) in the southern tunnels.

Set the Explosive Charges

To set the charges, you’ll need to make your way to the breach in the southeastern corner of the tunnels (#8). Along the way you’ll have to battle a lot of Jenye’s soldiers, including an Azunite Lieutenant (#7). At the breach, you’ll find a mining cart, and interacting with it will set up the explosives and light the fuse.

Escape the Southern Tunnels

To escape the tunnels, you’ll just need to travel to the west. Once you’ve gotten far enough away, the charges will blow up, collapsing the breach. As you then make your way out of the southern tunnels, some of Jeyne’s soldiers will attack you, and they’ll attempt to make your trip more interesting.

Talk to Queen Roslyn

If you completed the quest Uninvited Guests before this quest, then you’ll receive one last objective — to return to Queen Roslyn (#1). Otherwise, completing the previous objective will also complete the quest. Either way, you’ll receive 2810 xp for your efforts.


1 – Queen Roslyn


2 – Floating Platform

You won’t be able to use this platform until after you’ve completed this quest plus the quest Uninvited Guests.


3 – Roderick


4 – Black Powder Satchels


5 – Floating Platform

To call this floating platform (#5) to you, you’ll need to activate the crystal in the passage to the west (#5a).


6 – Locked Gate

You’ll only be able to open up this gate from the southern side, which means you’ll have to use the nearby floating platform (#5) to progress deeper into the tunnels.


7 – Azunite Lieutenant


8 – Breach
