Source of Evil
Source of Evil is a Dark and Darker quest assigned by the Fortune Teller merchant, part of the The Alignment quest line. The item you brought last time proved most helpful. Yet to examine the depths of the Inferno more closely, I require more wicked relics bound to that place. If you aid me, we shall draw one step closer to uncovering the source of this evil. Clear away all that stands in your path. There are 4 objectives to complete: Bring 1× Giant Horn; Kill 3× Abomination; Kill 8× Skeleton Crossbowman; Kill 8× Skeleton Spearman. All progress requires a successful extraction — items retrieved or kills made during a failed run do not count toward quest completion. Once every objective is fulfilled, return to Fortune Teller in the lobby to turn in the quest and receive the reward. This quest requires completing Remnants of the Inferno before it becomes available from Fortune Teller. Completing Source of Evil rewards 150 Gold, Random Epic Armor, 500 XP, Alchemist Affinity +10. The quest is completed in Ruins. Merchant quests in Dark and Darker are one of the most consistent gold and experience sources in the game, independent of loot luck on the Trading Post. Completing the full Fortune Teller quest chain unlocks higher reward tiers and increases merchant affinity, which can affect prices and open additional quest tiers in future seasons. The The Alignment chain provides a structured progression path through the Fortune Teller quest tree, and finishing each quest in order is the fastest route to the higher value objectives later in the line. Use the MetaBot Dark and Darker quest tracker to check all open objectives across every active merchant before extracting, so you can turn in multiple quests from a single run and get the most value out of each session.
