Walkthrough

Charleston Crisis Map

1. Go in Verus and find Charleston (verus04 75, 114)Copied!. She needs replacement parts from the factory.

   The party leader has to create the instance and the other members can join afterwards.

Destroying the Zone Security Devices

1. Walk towards Charleston 1 and she'll ask you to destroy the Zone Security Devices to move forward within the factory.
2. Go left and kill the first Zone Security Device (it's a mob). A portal will appear allowing to move forward.
3. Repeat the same process 3 more times until Charleston 1 asks you to meet her at the lab.
4. The lab is found in the middle ([email protected] 141, 199)Copied! of the map.
   Moving there might be tricky, it's not easy to navigate.

Lab Requests

2. The party leader has to speak with Charleston 1 ([email protected] 121, 217)Copied! and she'll ask you to kill 3 Locksteps.
   You can see their locations on the minimap.
3. Return to Charleston 1 after killing 3 Locksteps. She tells you there's a problem with the generators, you have to investigate them.

1. Return to the lab once you've investigated all 3 generators.
