Zariel's asset cannot be found in Moonrise Towers proper, rather, they can only be saved upon entering the [[Mind Flayer Colony]] after the first battle with [[Ketheric Thorm]]. There, the party finds Mizora herself trapped within a pod in the [[Mind Flayer Colony#Tadpoling Centre|Tadpoling Centre]]. Mizora can be freed from the pod, or killed, though killing her will also kill Wyll as per the terms of their pact. Should the party free her, she can be persuaded to reward Wyll.
