Into the Jaws of Madness
Into the Jaws of Madness is an Act 5 main quest offered by Garradia at Coven's Refuge after A Jewel in the Mud, which follows A Witch's Bargain. Perform the ritual at the Altar of Rattosh, cross the Chthonic Void, and recover Ulgrim.
The Altar of Rattosh is north of the Barrowholm Rift, not at Coven's Refuge. The long Void section disables personal rifts, so place one outside the altar before the ritual. Ulgrim's final dialogue branches into peaceful and combat achievement routes; the combat version of Ulgrim is exceptionally dangerous.
- 1Accept the quest and reach the Altar of Rattosh
- ▸Complete A Jewel in the Mud, then accept the quest from Garradia at Coven's Refuge.
- ▸Travel to the Barrowholm Rift, break through the wall to the north, and take the left path at the first fork.
- ▸Place a personal rift near the Altar of Rattosh before beginning the ritual.
- 2Perform the ritual and cross the Desolate Wastes
- ▸Use Ulgrim's Keepsake at the altar and complete Garradia's ritual.
- ▸Enter the Chthonic Rift and cross the Desolate Wastes to the portal at the northern end.
- ▸Personal rifts cannot be used inside; after a death, return through the rift you placed outside the altar.
- 3Defeat Ekket'Zul in the Void's Edge
- ▸Take the portal at the northern end of the Desolate Wastes into the Void's Edge.
- ▸Entering Ekket'Zul, Progenitor of Darkness's arena seals the exit. Defeat him while avoiding his fire and chaos attacks and ground fissures.
- ▸Continue through the opened gate. During the same session, a shortcut rift links the boss room with the Altar of Rattosh.
- 4Bring Ulgrim back to his senses
- ▸Follow the path and find the confused Ulgrim deep in the Void's Edge.
- ▸Use the friendly dialogue and say his name for a peaceful resolution; hostile dialogue starts a fight against Ulgrim.
- ▸You can break off the conversation and retry before committing. Restoring his senses completes the quest and unlocks Along the Void's Edge.
If you cannot find the altar, return to the Barrowholm Rift, break the wall to the north, and take the first left. If you die in the Void, re-enter from your personal rift outside the altar. If hostile Ulgrim is too strong, restart the session and choose the peaceful dialogue.
