The Would-Be Successors is a side story quest in Wayfinder.

Description[edit]

Start

Underlings have come out of hiding to fill in the power gap left by the dead members of Murderer's Row. Track them down and eliminate them before they become a bigger threat.

Active

Old Kite has learned of new loyalists to the now-defunct Murderer's Row gang hiding somewhere in the Mines. Track them down before they can rally any other Shrikes to their side.

Clear

Another would-be Shrike leader has been eliminated, and with it, any plans for re-forming Murderer's Row. That's one less threat Skylight has to worry about.

Requirement[edit]

Prerequisite[edit]

Clear The Gloomtouched Betrayer.

Start quest[edit]

Talk to Old Kite during The Pit Expedition.

Questline[edit]

Objectives[edit]

Phase 1
- Find the Shrikes' Upstart in a Mines Expedition
Phase 2
- Kill the Shrikes' Upstart in a Mines Expedition
Phase 3
- Return to Old Kite in the Pit
  Expedition: The Pit

(Quest in Bloodworks has a chance to bug and no enemies spawn, thus requiring a restart of the expedition for quest continuation)

Doing the Phase 1 in The Pit is the best choice, because once you finish it, Old Kite will usually spawn in that same instance so you don't need to do a whole second dungeon
Reminder: If you turn in the quest, you CAN pick up the quest again, but you will need to restart the dungeon to get the quest to properly activate again

Dialogue[edit]

Start Quest

Old Kite

Wayfinder, we meet again. I'm afraid I need your aid once more.

Player

What is it?

Old Kite

With Suiroko gone, the other Shrikes are attempting to put a new crew together. They used to be underlings... now they would be tyrants if they could.

It's trouble for the Highlands, but they aren't organized... yet. Before they get their balance back, that is the time to strike.

Clear Phase 1

Shrike Upstart

A Wayfinder! Don't just stand there, take them out!

Clear Phase 2

Shrike Upstart

You'll never... get all... of us!

Clear Quest

Old Kite

Wayfinder... were you successful?

Player

I put the Upstart's down.

Old Kite

Good. I fear the victory will not last forever. As long as power exists, humans will crave it. But we can be vigilant.
