A Northern Contact - Act 5 Side Quest

Start Location: City of Corinth
Quest Location: Rhine Cave/Rhine Coast
Objective: Discover the body in Rhine Cave; speak with Phaedrus

A Northern Contact is one of the first Side Quests that you'll have available to you in Act 5. This quest is given to you by Phaedrus in the City of Corinth once you've completed Festivities, it's also turned in to this same NPC once complete. If you discover the Dead Promethean body in the Rhine Cave prior to speaking with Phaedrus you'll receive/update the quest at the same time. You don't have to speak with Phaedrus first to get credit for finding the body.

Once you've updated your quest you'll need to return to Phaedrus in Corinth to complete it. Your reward for completing this quest will be a Lesser Artifact, an item that will go into your lower left inventory slot. This quest is the only quest in the game that rewards the player with an Artifact and is definitely worth doing since you'll most likely not have any Artifact yet at this time. Also, you'll need Lesser Artifacts to create Greater and Divine Artifacts anyway even if you do have an Artifact.
