WHY PLAYERS GET STUCK

Several similarly named cellars exist around Burrwitch, but the target is the Dank Cellar in Burrwitch Estates. From the Burrwitch Village Riftgate, cross the bridge northeast, turn northwest, and look for the cellar entrance outside the first house on the left. Darlet is in the cellar's southeast corner.

WALKTHROUGH
  1. 1
    Accept the quest from Kasparov
    • Complete the prerequisite quest Kasparov's Experiment.
    • Speak to Kasparov in the detached workshop beside the Devil's Crossing Riftgate.
    • Accept his request to find Darlet, his apprentice who has not returned from collecting research parts in Burrwitch Estates.
  2. 2
    Find the Dank Cellar
    • Travel to the Burrwitch Village Riftgate.
    • Head northeast across the bridge into Burrwitch Estates, then turn northwest.
    • Enter the Dank Cellar through the entrance outside the first house on the left. If the quest is active, the entrance has an objective marker.
  3. 3
    Rescue Darlet
    • Fight through the cellar to its southeast corner and speak to the stranded Darlet.
    • The player automatically opens a portal during the conversation, sending Darlet back to Devil's Crossing.
    • You do not need to place a personal rift or wait for her to walk through it.
  4. 4
    Speak to Darlet in Devil's Crossing
    • Return to Devil's Crossing and speak to Darlet again to complete the quest.
    • Rewards are XP (Normal 600 / Elite 22,000 / Ultimate 61,000) and +100 Devil's Crossing reputation.
    • Darlet then becomes available as the Inventor, including component salvage and removal services.
STILL LOST?

If you cannot find the entrance, return to the Burrwitch Village Riftgate, cross the bridge northeast, and turn northwest immediately. Look outside the first house on the left for the Dank Cellar entrance. After the rescue, turn the quest in to Darlet in Devil's Crossing, not Kasparov.

Normally accepted in the conversation after Kasparov's Experiment, but meeting Darlet directly in the Dank Cellar can also start it, so it is not time-missable. Complete it early because the Inventor is an important town service.
