Thrumbo can be found in Vonvayn’s Mansion in Lower City. This is close to the shore. You can easily get there from the Heapside Strand waypoint. Go down the three flights of stairs and head across the pier. There may be some enemies there if this is your first time going to this part of the map. Once you’ve taken them out, head into the house with the stairs next to the pier and you’ll find Thrumbo hiding in the wardrobe to your right.

You have two options in front of you. You can either help Thrumbo or kill him. He reveals that Mystic Carrion is a Mummy Lord who murdered him and his friends to turn them into zombies. You have the option to either kill Thrumbo or help him defeat Mystic Carrion.

If you kill him, you can loot the jar of Mystic Carrion’s heart from his body and take it back to the necromancer. In doing so, you’ll receive the Torch of Revocation as a reward.

If you loot Mystic Carrion, you'll also get some fantastic items such as the Staff of Cherished Necromancy, Armour of the Sporekeeper and Veil of the Morning.
