Once you have cleared the area and gathered up 6 Bloodfather Belts, talk to Mist and accept the quest to escort it back to Sentinel Arynia. (This may take a few times to complete since the harpies are slightly higher level, they like to stack, and they also like to heal themselves. I would suggest getting a friend to help if possible.)
  7. Head North to get the quest “The Shimmering Frond” from the Strange Fronded Plant.
  8. Head East and look for the spider Lady Sathrah. Check both locations, she randomly spawns in one of them.
