Investigating the Azrakar Brigade Command is the opening objective of the Asmodian Episode quest Prison Compound Infiltration Plan, handed out by Garlond at the Azrakar Brigade Camp in Ishalgen. It asks you to find information about the Azrakar Brigade Prison Compound by reading a document left inside the Balaur camp. The step clears the moment you interact with the right object.

Quick answer: Go to the Azrakar Brigade Guard Camp in southern Ishalgen, then press F to interact with the Azrakar Brigade Command document sitting on the wooden crates by the ruined stone wall. The objective completes instantly.


Where to find the Azrakar Brigade Command in Ishalgen

The document is inside the Azrakar Brigade Guard Camp, which sits in the southern part of the Ishalgen map. You start the run from the Abandoned Barracks Site, where Garlond and Anders are stationed, and follow the dirt path down into the camp ruins. Both points are close together in the same southern sector, so the walk is short.

In the camp, find the command document on a pile of wooden crates beside a damaged stone wall. Red flowers surround the wall’s base, and a yellow quest marker identifies the precise crate, visible from a distance.

The camp is patrolled by low-level Balaur. Azrakar Watchers wander the approach but will not attack on sight, while Azrakar Karnif enemies are aggressive and will chase you. All of them sit at level 7, matching the quest’s recommended level.


How to investigate the Azrakar Brigade Command

Clear the required Azrakar Watchers. The objective asks you to defeat 3 Azrakar Watcher as you move through the camp, so engage them along the path before you reach the document.
Approach the crates by the ruined wall where the quest marker sits. Stand close enough for the white interact reticle and the F Interact prompt to appear on the Azrakar Brigade Command.

Press F to read it. An aged parchment opens with the title Azrakar Brigade Command, and the objective flips to Investigate the Azrakar Brigade Command (Complete). Close the document to continue.

Reading the document is tied to the level 7 checkpoint in this stretch, so finishing the step can push your character to Level 7 and hand you a Resurrection Spiritstone (Bound) through the system chat.


Deliver the information to Anders

Once the document closes, the tracker updates to Deliver the information to Anders. Anders waits back at the Abandoned Barracks Site, next to the campfire and the violet rift. Run north out of the camp gates and follow the marker to him.

Talk to Anders to turn in what you found. His dialogue confirms the worst, with lines such as “Oh no, they were captured after all!” and “It seems like there are more detailed records in the camp storage.” That conversation closes out the investigate objective.

After the exchange, the quest moves on to obtaining a key from the Balaur. The next objective reads Collect the key (0/1), which you fill by defeating Azrakar Brigade Rangers and Azrakar Brigade Warriors until they drop it. From there the quest chains into Brigade Prison Compound Infiltration Operation.


How to confirm the objective is done

There are two clear signals that the step registered. The parchment itself shows the “(Complete)” tag the instant you read it, and the on-screen tracker switches from investigating the command to “Talk to Anders.” Once you speak with Anders and the tracker changes to “Collect the key (0/1),” the first objective is fully behind you.
