Unidentified Contaminant is an exploration quest in Throne and Liberty that takes place in the Windhill Shores region. To complete this quest, fans must speak with an NPC, use their Glide Morph, and defeat a specific enemy. This guide is here to elaborate upon those steps, and it will make it easy for players to address Throne and Liberty's Unidentified Contaminant quest.
Windhill Shores is just southeast of Kastleton, and players will activate its waypoint as they work through Throne and Liberty's first chapter.

Throne and Liberty: Unidentified Contaminant Quest Walkthrough
Talk to the Windhill Shores Researcher at Spiral Cliff
The first step toward completing the Unidentified Contaminant quest is talking to a Windhill Shores Researcher at Spiral Cliff. For the uninitiated, Spiral Cliff is directly south of the Windhill Shores Waypoint in Throne and Liberty, and the relevant NPC is at the base of the location's stone tower.
Acquire a Magical Reagent
After speaking with the Windhill Shores Researcher, Throne and Liberty players will be instructed to acquire a Magical Reagent. Fortunately, this is a very easy task to complete, as a Magical Reagent can be obtained by interacting with the shelves that are just behind the Windhill Shores Researcher.
Glide Morph and Spray the Unidentified Contaminant
Players should now position themselves at the edge of the cliff to the Windhill Shores Researcher's right. From this position, players will see three wooden platforms just past the coastline, and they must use Throne and Liberty's Glide Morph to reach one of them without coming into contact with any water. Here are the steps that fans should take to perform that maneuver:
- Double jump off the edge of the cliff to morph into Glide form.
- Get directly above one of the wooden platforms. It is recommended that players put the camera directly above their characters, as this angle makes it easy to confirm when the character is over a platform.
- Hold the Descend input ("S" on a keyboard or down on a controller's left joystick) to land on the wooden platform.
- Interact with the Unidentified Contaminant to complete the task.
Players should perform these actions quickly, as they must interact with the Unidentified Contaminant within one minute of collecting the Magical Reagent.
Defeat a Large Stone Crab that is Wet
Players must now defeat a Large Stone Crab, and these creatures can be found along the beach that runs adjacent to the Unidentified Contaminant. The catch is that the Large Stone Crab must be Wet when slain. To give the creature that status effect, MMORPG fans should simply attack a Large Stone Crab on the beach, run into the sea, wait for the creature to follow, and then return to land (and defeat the crab) once it has become Wet.
The Large Stone Crab will have a water drop icon under their health bar in the top-left corner of the screen when it is Wet.
