I quit, game uninstalled. I am tired of getting 3 or 4 shotted by the stupid wolf. What game locks you into a questline and doesn't let you cancel out of it to return to normal game play. I know, I know, get gud. Game uninstalled.
Finally finished, and Wow. For those that are struggling, keep at it. I changed targets and was able to finish the questline. I got stuck on the wolf and switched to snakey girl and one-shotted her. Snake was a lot easier just because of the terrain. There are lots of places to run and hide and heal up. The owl took me about 5 or 6 tries. So, if you get stuck on one archon, try another.
However, what exactly happened in the quest? I am so confused now
