Has anyone managed to do the Renegade Necromancer Verata quest at Yak's Bend and have it update for them? I've defeated him 3 times (and all his minions), and it won't update. Is this a bug, or is there something else that needs doing (i.e. somehow disposing of the nearby corpses of the Ascalon Rangers)?

This is frustrating, because I'd really like one of the spells that you get as a quest reward.

Actually it worked for me well this time instead of the last BW.

On the last bw everytime you zoned from the Ascalon Foothils side, he appeared in front of you with a horde of fiends killing everything in his sight and the only way to defeat him was to repedeatly respawn on the ressurection shrine located almost in front of his face with a perma DP of 60% until you killed him.

If you came from the other side of the road he always zoned on a place where you couldn't get him anymore. The same happened when you got a bit further away from the shrine I mentioned.

This time though it almost happened the same (I didn't die

) but I were able to get him before he zoned. Could it be that you didn't killed him and that he instead fled?

He fled for me as well and the Quest still updated. Guess I got lucky.
The Rare crafter is in the zone he fled into so, it was a bonus that I searched for him there a little.

No, I just flat out killed him, every time. Approached from Traveler's Vale, though.

Ya he just stood there and fought back for me, killed him several times and it never updated.

I tried this several times as well, but I found you have to get near him for it to update.

Anyone know how to get vereta's sacrifice? I finished the quest and saw him use the skill but couldn't get it.

I had this problem. I killed him a couple times. What I did was go through the portal just to the right of him (not far). And then came back through it (so that he'd be alive again).

After doing this, I chased him down but he fled back out through that portal.

He has to run away for the quest to update I believe.

Hehe it is bugged, I dint even have to fight him. He took off to the other zone (like he did in Beta), but insted of having to zone twice it just gave me the q.

I was like WTF, but then I just went back and picked up my skills.

i had the same problem as well, killed verata and his minions and nothing, stood over his body, nothing. Got the quest by killiing the minions around him, then rather than attacking him, walk up close to him (as stated above), he will make some threat, then run off, quest updated

I did this stupid quest 5 times lol.

The key is to make sure you bring npc players. Not realy people.

4 times my party killed verata, and the arrow ontinues to point to veratas corpse.. i was dumb founded, but i kept trying.

Eventually on my 5th try, the mage i was with said he wouldnt use AoE and we should concentrate on killing the snow ettins attacking verata before we kill him..

After the monsters attacking him are gone 2-3 hits and he'll run like a little girl. AoE spells like firestorm will make Verata want to stay and fight. Make sure you kill the things attacking him first. And thats just how easy it is.
