He asks you to travel to Hargate's Isle and recover the notes of the scientist Oswald Hargate.

Objectives[ | ]

Guide[ | ]

The isle is reached by boat. A Row Boat can be found just outside Devil's Crossing in act 1 (Lower Crossing); after crossing the bridge turn left and follow the water-line until you reach it. Clicking on the boat will teleport you to Hargate's Isle.

At the north of the island is an abandoned house with a Trap Door that leads to Hargate's Laboratory. The formula can be found in an Ornate Strongbox at the end of Floor 2.

On returning to Kasparov you can then choose to hand over the formula or keep it for yourself.

Keeping the Formula unlocks another sidequest in Act 6, Hargate's Mysteries. Returning the Formula will unlock the Kasparov's Gamble sidequest in Act 6

Quest Log[ | ]

Quest log
Kasparov has sent you on another of his mad scientific inquiries. This time he wishes to recover the research notes of one Oswald Hargate, an Arcanist who, nearly a century ago, created the first slith. Kasparov believes that Oswald must have used the Aether's mutative properties to perform his forbidden work. He hopes to leverage this information to counteract some of the horrible effects the Aetherial presence has had on Cairn's flora and fauna.

There is a row boat in Lower Crossing, near the bridge leading to the prison, which you can use to travel to the abandoned island where Hargate's lab is rumored to be hidden. The area will be teeming with slith, so be prepared to deal with the serpents.

Objectives:

  • Recover Hargate's Formula
  • Bring the Formula to Kasparov in Devil's Crossing
