There Will Be Blood
Walkthrough
Chase Marcellis and Alessia across Loping Plains under timed steps, defeat Marcellis at multiple locations, and escort Alessia back to Aaron in Somborn.
How to start
Examine the disused manacles and speak with the Eidolon of Heroism to receive this quest after completing An Experiment in Heroism.
Notes & prerequisites
- Must have completed An Experiment in Heroism.
- Adventure level 103+ (Heroic difficulty).
Steps
1. Find Marcellis and Alessia on the bridge
Find Marcellis and Alessia on the bridge northeast of Village of Somborn. Marcellis attacks after a few seconds — he is a heroic triple-up but can be kited; at around 20% health he despawns. Once they despawn, timed steps begin.
- Bring a group for best results, though Marcellis can be kited solo.
- Each subsequent step is on a timer once they despawn.
- Marcellis and Alessia (bridge)
Zone: Loping Plains
2. Chase to the river
Chase Marcellis and Alessia to the first location near the end of the river. Marcellis attacks again and despawns at around 20% health. Guards can give directions if needed.
- Marcellis (river)
Zone: Loping Plains
3. Chase to Mistmoore Castle stairs
Continue chasing Marcellis and Alessia to the bottom of the stairs on the first platform headed toward Mistmoore Castle.
- Marcellis (Mistmoore stairs)
Zone: Loping Plains
4. Escort Alessia to Aaron
Escort Alessia back to Village of Somborn and Aaron. You can fly or evac back to Somborn to save time.
- Aaron (near tree)
Zone: Loping Plains
Tips
- Timed steps start after the first Marcellis encounter despawns — move quickly between locations.
- Ask zone guards for Marcellis's current location if you lose the trail.
- Marcellis despawns at ~20% health at each stop — you do not need to kill him fully.

Completion
I saved Alessia, and returned her to her love, Aaron. It was a chase across Loping Plains, and I made sure that the vampire, Marcellis T'chid had nowhere to hide. The Eidolon of Heroism was satisfied, and so it is on to the next task.
