Traitor's Passage Location Details
A Hidden Passage
| Monster Level | 19 |
|---|
Traitor's Passage is an area you can access from The Ardura Caravan. You'll be led to this place if you're doing The Trail of Corruption main quest.
This area consists of long, narrow tunnels that branch out. Watch out for enemies such as Tombshrieker and Vault Lurkers because they can quickly surround you in narrow spaces! You will encounter the Prison of the Disgraced nearby a checkpoint, where you can fight Balbala, The Traitor. This boss is evasive, and uses quick slashes, projectiles and a few AOE spells to fight you.
Going to Traitor's Passage
| Step | Objective |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Teleport or create a portal to The Ardura Caravan. |
| 2 |  Proceed to the Desert Map near Sekhema Asala, towards the front of the caravan. |
| 3 |  Look for the pin that says "Click to travel to The Halani Gates". You will teleport to Traitor's Passage once you click the pin. |
To unlock Traitor's Passage, you must first defeat Rudja, Dread Engineer, in Mawdun Mine. After doing so, return back to the Ardura Caravan and use the Desert Map to the Traitor's Passage.
Traitor's Passage Map Layout
Sample Map Layout
You will encounter a waypoint once you enter Traitor's Passage from The Ardura Caravan. After passing through the initial tunnel connecting directly to the entrance, the area will split into two. One path leads to the Prison of the Disgraced, where you may fight Balbala, the Traitor Boss Guide, and the other leads to The Halani Gates.
These two are always generally opposite of one another, so finding one may give you a good idea of where the other is. Note that maps are randomly generated, and this sample layout is meant to serve only as a general guide of what the map layout looks like.

When Balbala disappears then poison gas starts spreading from the center, go around the arena and look for Balbala. Getting closer to the boss makes her slowly lose her invisibility. Getting close enough will make her do a Slam Attack and end this phase.

Search Traitor's Passage in Cruel Fix
Currently Has no Fix
This is a bug where you cannot proceed with the quest after defeating Balbala the second time in Cruel mode. It seems that Balbala doesn't drop Balbala's Barya since you've already obtained it on normal mode, and this causes the objective to be stuck at "Search Traitor's Passage".
Completing this quest isn't necessary, as you need a higher-level Barya, one with three or more trials, to get the rest of the Ascendancy points.
