Can't find Zevlor in Moonrise Towers? Here's how you can save him.
Zevlor is one of the NPC's you'll meet early on in the game, along with the other refugee Tieflings staying in the Druid Grove. We quickly find out that they are no longer welcome there, and so they set off to Baldur's Gate, with Zevlor as their leader, promising to protect his fellow refugees.
Players that make it to Last Light Inn, near Moonrise Towers, will quickly hear rumors about Zevlor surrendering to the Absolute's forces and being taken captive. This will unlock the side quest to free Zevlor.
But why is Zevlor nowhere to be found?
Where To Find Zevlor in Moonrise Towers
"Find Zevlor" is one of the side quests you can complete in Act 2. But don't be discouraged if you haven't already found Zevlor, he's been hidden quite well. And no, he isn't imprisoned with the other Tieflings.
If you've started Act 2 already, but haven't beaten the final boss, Ketheric Thorm, yet, you'll have to now. Well, at least if you want to free Zevlor. You can't complete this quest without defeating Ketheric Thorm, so don't worry about searching around the Moonrise Towers for Zevlor.
After Ketheric Thorm flees during your battle, follow him into the depths of the Mind Flayer Colony under the tower. You'll need to head north in the Mind Flayer Colony to the Tadpoling Centre. In there you'll find a bunch of Mind Flayer pods and in one of them, to the east at the end of the room, you'll find Zevlor.
How To Save Zevlor
Once you've found Zevlor in his Mind Flayer pod, you'll see a control device, the Neural Apparatus, to the right.
Interacting with the device will give you two options: Purge or Release.
If you choose to purge, you will kill everyone in the Mind Flayer pods, including Zevlor.
Should you choose to release, every Mind Flayer pod will open, which will rescue Zevlor. But, by doing this, you will also release all the Mind Flayers that were in the surrounding pods. Be prepared to fight against them, along with some Intellect Devourers. Thankfully, Zevlor will help you in the fight.
Once you've defeated all your enemies after that long battle, you can talk to the Tiefling you just rescued.
Important note: You only get access to the Mind Flayer Colony this one time during the campaign. So, if you want to rescue Zevlor, you will have to do so before continuing to the next area.
