Main quest choice in Shadow of Sancre Tor (INCLUDES SPOILERS)

Had made a new character and playing through the main quest line. In the main quest Shadow of Sancre Tor there's a point where Sai Sahan tells me that "behind that gate lies Crypt of Heroes" and that I can enter if I wish. So I did and I went down the crypt in there, then Mannimarco said he'd summon some monster which he did and I killed it and that was it. No special reward and nothing changed. What was the point? I don't get it, I could just have skipped that "Crypt of Heroes" area and just gone straight to Sancre Tor Inner Chamber. Wondering if Im missing something here, is there a point to this part of the quest?

That monster used to be a difficult and engaging fight, so it was optional to allow players who didn't want a difficult fight to avoid it.
That was a long time ago, though, and now the entirety of solo PVE has been designed around players who want to avoid difficult fights, so that part of the quest is pretty pointless, as you say.7-day PVP campaign regular 2016-2019, Flawless Conqueror.

oh I see. I had already gone down there to look BEFORE the fight, see the mini boss didn't spawn until I exited the crypt. So after the fight I saw no reason to go down there again. That makes it more interesting when there is an actual reward. Thank you!Edited by Jayman1000 on March 19, 2019 9:19PM0
