The Serpentine Path Quest Walkthrough

Objective
1 Follow Neyrelle
Follow Neyrelle a bit north of the altar. She will stop by the giant serpent blocking the path.
2
Speak with Neyrelle
Interact with Neyrelle, who's just standing by the giant serpent.
3
Follow the serpent with your allies
After talking with Neyrelle, an area of the map encircled with a yellow circle will open up. Don't mind this, as it won't give you an indication of where to go. Instead, just follow the serpent's body up north.
Tip
You will notice that following the serpent will lead you into a portion of the map that is hidden. Unfortunately, you will have to wait until after the quest to uncover the specifics of this area of the map. For now, you could refer to the above map guide.
4
Survive the ambush
Keep following the serpent's body until you reach a Healing Well. Here, you will be ambushed by enemies. Defeat them all, then Neyrelle will crawl under a small opening under the serpent. Survive another ambush after she crawls through.
5
Reach Neyrelle
After defeating all the enemies, head a bit east and Neyrelle will drop a ladder for you to climb onto a ledge.
6 Escape the Sinking Detritus
Climb up the ladder and out to the area called Venom-Drenched Path to complete the quest.
