Walkthrough[edit]

Short version[edit]

  1. Take one of the 3 portals from Waypoint (map icon).png Bastion of the Natural Waypoint to the Bastion of the Celestial's west, south and east platforms.
  2. Kill Kryptis in each of the 3 event circle arenas. This spawns energy that will float in the air. Use the special actions granted in the event to either deplete enemies' defiance bars or save yourself from being Marked for Death (indicated by a skull icon above your character).
    • As these special actions are needed to effectively complete these events, do not replace them with United Legions Waystation skills.
  3. Pick up the energy with your skyscale and approach the big blue glowy sphere in the center of the arena to turn that energy in. If you are fast enough, the champion will not spawn.
  4. After the energy bar is filled for all 3 arenas, each arena will open a portal leading to the top of the spire. Players should split up, with most players taking the portal while some players with the skyscale Fireball mastery unlocked should search for Tentacles along the sides of the spire.
  5. Kill tentacles at the top of the spire, then DPS the Maw when it becomes vulnerable.
    • If you see a green circle area, walk into it or you'll get eaten. If you are eaten, look around you for a ray of light/sandfall and walk towards it to exit.
    • You may periodically be teleported into the darkness (aka Banished). Look for a faint light at the edge of arena, run to it; that will return you to the fight.
  6. Tentacles along the spire only take damage from the skyscale Fireball.
    • If learned, Bond of Vigor replenishes 5 Fireball charges when used.
  7. Return to the outer circles and repeat steps 2-6. This time the champions will be different. Continue to make use of your special key ability.
  8. Go back to the top of the spire and stand in one of the 8 circles. Mimic the symbol above Dagda (you can also see the symbol on the minimap) by casting/pressing a similar one on your action bar to the right of your health bar.
  9. After bar is full get on your skyscale and attack the Eyes of Nourys with Fireballs. Don't enter the beams, you'll die (unless you want an achievement). Once all eyes are dead, the event is complete.

Event success[edit]

With R'tchikk, Glade and Vanak Faithwalker
R'tchikk saw the commander—I[sic] mean the wayfinder—do the big punches! The wayfinder's skyscale poked ALL of the monsters eyes out! R'tchikk could hear them POP from the Wizard's Tower!
Talk more option tango.png That's...disturbing to know. But thank you for your help, R'tchikk.
(gestures)
(You get thes sense that Gladium is apologizing for R'tchikk' impulsive comment, but she understands why R'tchikk is so happy.)
Talk more option tango.png I think I understand. And I agree, It was quite a victory today.
We've won a batlle, yes. But the war continues. Isgarren is still missing. Eparch still reigns in Nayos with the Kryptis and who knows what else at his side.
Talk end option tango.png Of course. And he must be stopped.
Talk end option tango.png (Smile and wave good-bye.)
Talk end option tango.png I... Thanks.
With Uenno and Frode
It wasn't easy... Yet I'm not sure we could've asked for much better, all things considered. Wayfinder, thank you.
Talk more option tango.png Eparch's still out there...
(sighs) You're right. But now that we have a moment to breathe... Maybe I can take a little time to process losing Arina.
Talk end option tango.png Keep your hopes held high, Frode. Tomorrow's a new day.
Talk end option tango.png I'm glad I was able to help.
With Head Cartographer Pavish, Forro and Coconut
Wayfinder. I thank you. All the creatures of Amnytas thank you.
Talk more option tango.png We all did our parts.
(purrs)
Talk more option tango.png Aw, thanks, Coconut. You fought bravely.
Have to admit, even I got a little scared toward the end there. Those huge tentacles waving around, eyeballs shooting all manner of... What is that noise? She's not going to bite me, is she?
Talk end option tango.png Only if you show fear.
Talk end option tango.png Rest up, friends.
Talk end option tango.png You're welcome.
With Narcisse, Yasko Ironquill and Captain Emund
What a battle! You're looking well, all things considered. Are you hurt? Or are you too stoic to admit it? Like those two.
Talk more option tango.png Probably.
Heh. Felt good to get out there and do something. Glad it's over for now, though. I'll admit my arm was getting sore...
Talk more option tango.png You fought well. All of you.
We've dealt a blow to Eparch's forces, that's for certain. If only we had all the strength to counter— Ow! Narcisse, I might need a bit of healing after all...
Talk end option tango.png Heal up while you can...
Talk end option tango.png Narcisse probably has something for that.
Talk end option tango.png I'm fine, thanks.
With Head Archivist Stalwart Heart, Researcher Lezzi and Zizel
Our feats today, Wayfinder... A turning point, perhaps? Auspicious. Beautiful. Worthy of song.
Talk more option tango.png Beautiful, indeed.
A shame I wasn't able to dissect the creature, though. Speaking of beauty, the rifts it created... So many at once... Those were true works of art.
Talk more option tango.png I wonder if it survived.
Mmm. As does Louse. Perhaps we turn the tables, demon? Perhaps we invade YOUR home next, hmm?
Talk end option tango.png Let's hope it doesn't come to that...
Talk end option tango.png I'll hav to take your word for it.
Talk end option tango.png Well fought, everyone.
With Livia, Gol and Galrath the Undying
It seems that you're the hero of the day yet again, Wayfinder. Just like old times, no?
Talk more option tango.png It's what we do as part of the Shining Blade.
BAH! That lot don't know what the world's really about. Livia does. I do. Live for hundreds of years, and you learn a lot.
Talk more option tango.png Still plenty of secrets out there, aren't there?.
More than can ever be known. But we must strive to learn something new every day, with the hope that knowledge brings us closer to ending Eparch's reign of terror.
Talk end option tango.png Wise words.
Talk end option tango.png I'll...get right on that.
Talk end option tango.png Excellent work.
