The mission says to kill 5 Retainers or Steel Cyclones. Where are they? Are these retainers and cyclones on the bottom part of the map past the blocked ramp leading down? Do I have to do progression quests to unblock the ramp? Xp is xp and I don't mind doing them I just didn't plan on it. I just wanted to a simple task there.
Retainers are near the vendors up top in the temple building. Others are down past the closed ramp. There is another ramp though that takes you down, go left once down the spiral ramp.
Oh, I thought I might become KoS in Argath killing the retainers up top. I'll check it further and try later tonight. That would be a simple task if no KoS.
And just so you know, there's one (blocked) ramp to the south, and another (unblocked) to the north. You can still get down below without unblocking the ramp. Some of the hotzone quests for Argath do have you hunting in the area down below.
No idea. I've never unblocked it, but I haven't done any quests/progression in that zone. My point was simply, you don't need to unblock it. Use the other ramp, it's not blocked.
