Harley entered the City of Cataclysm to retrieve the Witch Pathway’s Beyonder Characteristics and Uniqueness, but found that they would not come to her and set out toward them herself.

Harley entered the tavern at the City of Cataclysm to claim the Witch Pathway Uniqueness and found Beedle Peverell waiting beside it.
