After previously securing a way to get to Skovos, you and Lorath now find yourselves aboard a ship heading to this region that is new to you.
You and Lorath are on the Top Deck, and the ship continues to its destination, but something does not seem to be right.
It would be best for you to speak to Lorath while the ship proceeds towards Skovos, and the two of you should check to make sure everything is fine.
How To Get Hatred’s Wake Quest?
Hatred’s Wake starts after the cutscene in the Last of the Horadrim quest ends, which happens after speaking to Lorath at the docks in Backwater.
Hatred’s Wake Quest Walkthrough
At the start of the quest, you will need to speak to Lorath, and he will talk about Skovos and give you a bit about how he spent some of his time there.
The two of you are interrupted by a Hand of Akarat, who appears to be up to no good, which eventually results in you and Lorath being attacked by monsters from the sea.
Slay the merfolk that begin to attack you, and once they have been cleared out, you will need to make your way into the Middle Deck.
It appears the merfolk have also made their way inside the ship, and you will need to clear them out in the Middle Deck.
Proceed by defeating these monsters and breaking your way past the blockage that they have created until you reach the end of the ship.
Upon reaching the back of the ship, a Calamitous Crab will break in from the side of the hull, and you will need to defeat it.
After defeating the Calamitous Crab, the path to the top deck has been destroyed, and only by climbing will you be able to reach it, leaving Lorath to be left behind.
The Hand of Akarat will be on the Top Deck, and once you reach him, you will need to speak with him to start a cutscene that leads to a boss fight.
A Hateborn Abomination appears on the deck after the Hand of Akarat ends itself while under the control of Mephisto.
Once the fight is over, Lorath and the crew will arrive, and speaking to him will begin a cutscene where you arrive at Skovos. (Quest ends after cutscene)
Hatred’s Wake Quest Rewards
After slaying the Hateborn Abomination and speaking to Lorath, the cutscene plays, and upon arrival at Skovos, a new quest called Crown of the Twin Seas begins.
Defeating the Hateborn Abomination will result in it dropping loot, which includes the Dangerous Catch, a Mount Trophy.
In addition to the next quest being unlocked, you also receive:
- XP
- Gold
Verdict
The trip to Skovos doesn’t go as planned, as the ship is suddenly overrun, showing that Mephisto’s reach is already causing chaos even before you arrive.
Pushing through the attacks and dealing with the abomination makes it clear that his control over Akarat’s followers is only getting stronger.
After finally making it to Skovos, Lorath brings up an Amazon Queen, and it looks like the two of you are now set on tracking her down next.
