You might be wondering, especially if you're deep into the unfolding saga of Wyll, the Blade of Frontiers, just what or who exactly is 'Zariel's Asset.' It's a phrase that pops up, carrying a weight of consequence, and it’s tied directly to Wyll's pact and his rather formidable patron, Mizora.
Essentially, Zariel's Asset is a task that Mizora, Wyll's devilish patron, assigns him. This isn't just a casual request; it's a directive delivered under threat of severe punishment. The mission? To rescue a specific devil from the clutches of the Absolute cultists, and the location for this daring rescue is none other than Moonrise Towers.
Now, the 'where' of this asset isn't just a general area. Once you're ready to confront Ketheric Thorm and he retreats beneath Moonrise Towers, you'll need to follow him. Inside, the path leads east, then north at the first opportunity. The game marks this area with a quest marker, guiding you to the devil in question. It's within a room filled with mindflayer pods, each holding a unique memory. And at the very end of this room, isolated in its own pod, is Zariel's Asset.
But here's the twist, and it's a big one: Zariel's Asset isn't some nameless minion or a forgotten relic. It's Mizora herself. Yes, the very patron who sent Wyll on this mission is the one he's tasked to rescue. This revelation adds a fascinating layer to their complex relationship and Wyll's predicament.
What happens next is entirely up to you. You have the choice to either free Mizora or destroy her. Freeing her, as per the contract, means Wyll remains bound to her for another six months. However, if Wyll is with you, there's a chance to negotiate, perhaps securing him a new weapon like the Infernal Rapier, which can be quite a boon in combat. On the other hand, choosing to annihilate Mizora has dire consequences for Wyll, leading to his transformation into a lemure and his permanent departure from your party. It's a choice that truly tests Wyll's fate and your own strategic decisions.
