Walkthrough

Possess the Lithe Stalker

• Use the Eye of Dominion behind Vereth to take control of the Lithe Stalker. Accept all three quests (Generosity Abounds, Stunning View, Matchmaker) before possessing, since you complete them all in one trip.
• Remember: all of Malykriss is neutral to the stalker. The Lumbering Atrocities trust the stalkers completely, which is exactly what Vereth is exploiting.

Drag Bombs to Atrocities

• Head into Malykriss. A good working area is the bottom of Malykriss between the forge and the rune camp. Scourge Bombs can be found around [57.4, 75.8] and scattered throughout the construction area.
• Use Iron Chain (button 2) to attach a chain to a Scourge Bomb. The bomb will trail behind your stalker as you move.
• Drag the bomb toward a nearby Lumbering Atrocity. When you get close enough, the bomb detonates, killing the atrocity. The explosion knocks your stalker back 20-30 yards but doesn’t damage you.
• Repeat for 4 total atrocities.

Efficiency Tips

• You can chain multiple bombs at once. The visual only shows one trailing behind you, but all chained bombs follow and each counts separately when they reach an atrocity.
• Bombs and atrocities are clustered in the same areas, so you rarely need to travel far between pickups and deliveries. Plan a loop through the construction area.
• Work on Stunning View (Heave gargoyles off the ramparts) and Matchmaker (provoke Flesh Giants into fighting each other) simultaneously as you move through Malykriss. The stalker’s full ability set covers all three quests.
• Exit the vehicle when done to teleport back to Vereth instantly.
• Use Leap (button 1) to reposition quickly between bomb pickups. The stalker takes no fall damage, so dropping off ledges to reach lower areas is always safe.

Lore Context

Vereth’s strategy continues to exploit the Scourge’s greatest weakness: their mindless obedience. The Lumbering Atrocities (abominations working as construction labor for Malykriss) are, as Vereth puts it, “slow, predictable, and most importantly, stupid.”

They trust the Lithe Stalkers because the geists are supposed to be Scourge servants. They don’t think twice when a stalker drags a bomb toward them.

The broader purpose isn’t just to kill abominations for its own sake. Vereth explains: “If we lay waste to their minions below, I suspect they’ll have to devote more attention to keeping a close eye on operations.”

The goal is to force Malykriss’s death knight commanders to come down from their perches to manage the chaos, making them vulnerable for the next phase of the plan (the Rider quests).
