WHY PLAYERS GET STUCK

This bounty has no mini-map quest markers and requires two targets, not Bolvar alone. Bolvar randomly occupies one of three spawn points in the Blood Grove, while Zaria is at the northern end of the Village of Darkvale. A target killed before accepting the bounty does not count.

WALKTHROUGH
  1. 1
    Accept the bounty from a Bounty Table
    • At Respected reputation or higher, roll and accept Cripple the Cult at the Kymon's Chosen or Order of Death's Vigil Bounty Table.
    • Only one bounty per faction can be active, and each faction offers at most five bounties per game session.
    • If Bolvar or Zaria was already killed, start a new game session, accept the bounty, and then kill both targets.
  2. 2
    Slay Bolvar in the Blood Grove
    • Travel from the Blood Grove Rift and search the Blood Grove. Bolvar randomly spawns in the shrine section, the section immediately south of it, or the section two areas northeast of the shrine.
    • Kill Bolvar, the Bloodbinder and confirm that his objective updates in the quest log.
    • He uses piercing, chaos, and fire attacks and summons minions; prepare chaos resistance and avoid standing directly in his barrage.
  3. 3
    Slay Zaria in the Village of Darkvale
    • Proceed north from the Blood Grove into the Village of Darkvale.
    • Kill Zaria, the Carver near the northern end of the village, close to the exit leading toward Darkvale Gate.
    • After both kills, confirm that the quest log updates to returning to the issuing Bounty Table.
  4. 4
    Return to the issuing Bounty Table
    • Return to the issuing faction's Bounty Table. XP is 5,000 on Normal, 9,000 on Elite, and 15,000 on Ultimate.
    • The issuing faction grants +200/+400/+575 reputation, while Chthonian reputation changes by -50/-100/-150.
    • The item reward is a random component from the issuing faction's reward table.
STILL LOST?

The missing markers are normal. Start at the Blood Grove Rift, check Bolvar's three possible spawn areas, then continue north to kill Zaria at the far end of the Village of Darkvale. If either target was killed before acceptance, restart the session and kill both after taking the bounty.

There is no time limit or permanent failure branch, so it is not missable. Bounty offerings and kill credit are session-based, and pre-acceptance kills are invalid. This bounty requires only the Base Game.
