Walkthrough[edit]
Escort 
Demolitionist Afia from Watcher Akuchi by their crates of explosives under the wooden mine support structure, to the realm portal at the 
Northern Maw — . When Afia's health reaches zero, she will be stunned for a long duration, before recovering a portion of his health when she recovers.
Completing the previous event to [Group Event] Weaken North Maw defenses for the demolitionist assault (80) will make this event easier to accomplish. Afia will attack any hostile NPCs she encounters, notably Elite Forged Officers and Forged Cannons. Both can do significant damage and take time to kill, delaying her arrival at the portal. Eliminating them in the previous event will mean facing less and weaker enemies.
Furthermore, though not required in said preceding event, destroying Forged Barricades will allow the demolitionist to get to the portal faster. Not all need be destroyed; only the ones that prevent her from taking the most direct route to the portal. Barricades can be destroyed in both this and the previous event, but doing so when this event is already underway will eat up time.
- Destroying the portal
In order to deploy Portal Spikes to damage the North Realm Portal, you will need to do the following:
- Kill the following Forged Enemies enemies that appear around the Northern Maw. When killed, they will leave behind
Realm Residue.
- Interact to pick up a Realm Residue. Your character can pick one up at a time, which can be tracked by the
Realm Residue icon the buff bar. - With the effect active, run to the barrel of Portal Spikes, and interact with it.
- Next, run back to the portal and interact with it when the prompt reads Spike the portal.

Dialogue[edit]
- Event start
- Watcher Akuchi: By Kormir, the portals activated faster than we thought!
- Watcher Akuchi: Forged reinforcements incoming!
- Demolitionist Afia: There's no time. I have to leave now if we're going to have a chance to close the portal.
- Watcher Akuchi: Demolitionist, I hope you're ready. We need to shut that portal down!
- Demolitionist Afia: I've got the spike ready. I just need an escort.
- Watcher Akuchi: Good luck. And remember, you never fight alone.
- During the escort
- Watcher Akuchi: The demolitionist is heading to close the portal at the Maw. Can you help?
- Demolitionist Afia: The Forged defenses are weakened. This is our chance. Follow me.
- Demolitionist Afia: What's taking the other demolistionists so long? All three portals need to close.
- Demolitionist Afia: Cover me. We have to reach the Maw and use this spike.
- Elite Forged Officer: The portal will soon activate!

- Demolitionist Afia: Form a defensive perimeter while I take care of the portal.

- Demolitionist Afia: The other portals should've fallen by now. I wonder how the other demolistionists are doing.
- When the North Realm Portal is destroyed, and the Elite Realm Keeper appears
