WHY PLAYERS GET STUCK

The target is not the Gates of Necropolis Riftgate. Continue north to the second Riftgate in Necropolis Interior. Approaching it triggers three Chthonian waves, and the Riftgate cannot be secured until all are defeated. Afterward, speak to Ulgrim beside it instead of returning to Fort Ikon.

WALKTHROUGH
  1. 1
    Accept the quest from Inquisitor Creed
    • Complete the prerequisite quest Betrayal at Fort Ikon.
    • Speak to Inquisitor Creed in Fort Ikon to accept The Necropolis.
  2. 2
    Cross the Plains of Strife and enter the Necropolis
    • Leave Fort Ikon for the Plains of Strife and cross the battlefield.
    • Enter the Gates of Necropolis, activate its Riftgate, and continue north.
    • Much of the route is occupied by Aetherials, so prepare Aether resistance.
  3. 3
    Secure the second Necropolis Interior Riftgate
    • Enter Necropolis Interior and continue north to the second Riftgate.
    • Defeat all three waves of Chthonians. The Riftgate remains inactive while any spawned enemy survives.
    • Activate the Necropolis Interior Riftgate after the battle.
  4. 4
    Report to Ulgrim
    • After securing the Riftgate, speak to Ulgrim when he appears beside it.
    • Rewards are difficulty-scaled XP (22,000 Normal / 50,000 Elite / 96,000 Ultimate) and +500 Black Legion reputation.
    • Ulgrim then offers the next main quest, The Bane of Cairn.
STILL LOST?

Follow Fort Ikon → Plains of Strife → Gates of Necropolis → Necropolis Interior. Do not stop at the Gates Riftgate; continue north to the second Riftgate, defeat all three waves, then report to Ulgrim where he appears.

There is no time limit, failure branch, or choice, so the quest is not missable. It is part of the Base Game and requires no DLC. Prerequisite: Betrayal at Fort Ikon. Unlocks: The Bane of Cairn.
