Detailed Walkthrough[edit]

Speak to Urgarlag Chief-bane to get the details of this quest.

"Black Drake Villa. A place of luxury for the former Longhouse Emperors, now abandoned and left to the Goblins.
A band of fire-slingers known as the True-Sworn have started rummaging around looking for something. We need you to clear them out."
And if I can handle more than that?
"After you empty the rest of the True-Sworn from the villa, plant the Undaunted banner before taking on Pyroturge Encratis.
He should know just who's heading his way before you snuff him out for good."
I pledge to seek out Black Drake Villa and return Undaunted.

Once you have accepted the quest, you can enter the Black Drake Villa dungeon either by accessing the dungeon through the Dungeon Finder, or heading to Gold Coast and entering the dungeon there with a group. You have the choice of entering the normal dungeon or the veteran version, this choice will affect if you can achieve the optional step and your rewards.

When inside the dungeon, you will need to progress through the dungeon, slaying the following bosses, Kinras Ironeye, Captain Geminus and Pyroturge Encratis. With the last boss, if you are in the veteran dungeon, you have the option of placing the challenge banner to put the boss in hard mode, provided you have placed the challenge banner on every prior boss that has it available.

Once you have completed the task, you can return to Urgarlag Chief-bane at any of the Undaunted Enclaves, and speak with her to complete the quest:

I drove the True-Sworn pillagers from Black Drake Villa and extinguished their plans.
"How's that fancy villa holding up these days with Leovic gone? I bet the Goblins that moved in aren't taking great care of it. They don't strike me as having a great sense of style."
I'll take my reward either way. / What's my reward for clearing Black Drake Villa?
Condition Dialogue
Normal mode completed "Heh—didn't find enough treasure laying around the halls of Durcorach's old haunt? I thought that place was littered with the stuff.
Oh, I'm just joking with you. I would never deny anyone their just reward! Here you go."
Veteran mode completed "The conquering hero returns! I heard a rumor around the inns that you stomped the True-Sworn and Pyroturge Encratis hard. Probably not the last we've heard of them, but they'll think twice before going after you again.
You earned this."
Veteran Hard Mode completed "Wish I could have been there when you smashed up that fancy villa. Nothing makes me smile faster than tearing apart opulent homes. Especially in the service of taking down a haughty dolt like Pyroturge Encratis.
Just feels good, you know?"

Notes[edit]

  • Prior to Update 41, completing this quest with Normal or Veteran mode would award 1 Undaunted Key, and 2 Keys on Veteran Hard Mode.

  • Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
  • Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
