Chaos Breaks Loose - Main quest | Neverwinter Wood / Evermoors Walkthrough Sword Coast Legends Guide

Last update: 03 February 2017

After leaving the catacombs, head towards the exit from the Neverwinter Wood and go back to the Cutlass inn, in the Market District of the city of Luskan. When you arrive, speak with Soronil, located on the first floor of the tavern. He will tell you, that demons have attacked the slums of Luskan. Go there immediately and storm through the subsequent sections of the location until you reach the main boss.

After speaking with Tassalys, you will have an encounter with a powerful demon - Shadow of Madness. As soon as the fight starts, attack the demon with your most durable character (such as Jarhild). As soon as the demon focuses its attention on your tank, take control over your rogue and start eliminating the cultists standing in a circle. The cultists are casting empowering spells on the demon, which is why you should take them out as quickly as possible. Don't forget to place Illydia (or your own character, if you are playing as a cleric) far away from the combat, but still in the range of your allies.

During the encounter you don't have to worry about any powerful area of effect spells coming from the demon, as the foe is extremely durable, but its attacks are quite weak. Try to cast spells that increase the damage output and the defenses of your allies and it won't be able to harm any of your characters. After the encounter with the Shadow of Madness, speak with the Drow lying on the ground. Afterwards, Soronil will teleport himself and your entire party back to the inn and will show you his real identity. Regardless of the course of the conversation with Soronil, the quest will be completed.

Note - if, during the After Them! Quest, you've spared Sir Banagar, you will meet him at the slums. He will be helping you during the encounter with the demons, while other members of the Gilded Eye won't attack you.
