Spoiler Warning: Spoiler material below this point!
Objectives
- Confront Archbishop Dryden
- Slay Gerard Dryden!
Tips and Misc
- There is no shrine in this short quest.
- Make sure the party is ready before talking to Archbishop Dryden; finishing the conversation with him starts the fight a few moments later. The two iron defenders activate, and several skeleton archers and skeletal knights along with a Greater Arcane Skeleton will spawn after a while.
- The quest completes when you kill Gerard Dryden. Once that's done, everything else dies, and you may leave the area through the usual gate.
- Note: On Reaper difficulties, Gerard Dryden must be killed last in order to get reaper experience due to there being exactly ten monsters (11 on epic; and not including reaper spawns).
- On Epic, the Emissary of Shadow (a Glabrezu) also appears.
- At this story point Archbishop Dryden seems to be completely ignorant about the fate of Marguerite Dryden.
- Once the mission is complete, return to Friar Renau outside the Catacombs to get your quest reward and complete the story arc.
