Walkthrough[edit]

To gain access to the event, someone must infuse a Matrix Cube Key with fire, water, ice, and earth, and then use the charged key on a control panel to open up a barrier protecting a hole in the floor. Anyone may then jump down onto a floating platform with another panel. Pushing a button on the second panel releases a Champion Steam Ogre. The ogre is not much of a threat, since it uses melee attacks only and can be easily kited. The only real risk is falling off the platform. After defeating the boss, a Secret Reactor Treasure spawns.

A two-minute destruction countdown will commence after defeating the boss. To escape, jump through the portal that appears just off the eastern side of the platform. The platform will explode at the end of the countdown, causing everyone left on the platform to enter a downed state shortly before being teleported to the east entrance of Thaumanova Reactor.
