Walkthrough[edit]

When extracting from corrupted memories

Kill kryptis on the three outer platforms to extract corruption. Defend the memory snares on the center plattform to keep their power up. If the memory snares lose power the event returns to the previous step.

When the elite Kryptis invader is defeated

A corruption crystal will float above each memory snare. Target the crystals and use the provided special action key to purge it.

Dialogue[edit]

After the timer: Mabon: Lyhr's body may be stable, but his mind is adrift. I fear this may have been too much to ask of him.; Mabon: Kryptis are trying to burrow their way in, and he's in no state to stop them on his own. It falls to me instead.; Mabon: The memory snares around the platform will isolate the memories weakening Lyhr and reveal the threats inside of them.; Mabon: If we lose the snares, there will be no way to control the—; Lyhr: Rock boils up from below...and the end comes with it.; Mabon: Tread carefully! The manifestations of his memories will be as real as anything else.; Mabon: I will separete the threats as best I can. Now go!

Charging the snares: Mabon: Quickly, charge the memory snares so we can begin!

After one snare is charged: Mabon: Good, the first one is ready!

After two snares are charged: Mabon: That's it, only one more is needed!

After all snares are charged: Mabon: The snares are ready! I'll channel Lyhr's memories to the projectors, but you'll have to handle the rest.; Mabon: Those below must protect the snares while those above handle whatever manifests from the memories.; Mabon: Once the crystals are filled with the corruption, we'll need to cleanse them.; Mabon: It's starting; ready yourselves!

First memory (snare 1): Lyhr: Hurry, everyone inside! Those bastards are coming, and we're out of time.; Lyhr: Rand, get ready to seal those doors on my signal!; Lyhr: Don't worry, little one. We'll keep them out, I promise.

Second memory (snare 2): Lyhr: How did these damn things get in here?; Lyhr: We need to drive these blighters back into the dirt! With me!; Lyhr: This city may fall someday, but it won't be this day!

Third memory (snare 3): Lyhr: You mursaat lackeys have the nerve to interrupt my night out?; Lyhr: Hey! Get your damn claws of him!; Lyhr: Rand!

On all platforms: Mabon: The process is working, but we have to keep going!; Mabon: That's it, we're making progress! Don't falter now!; Mabonn: There! That's the source of teh corruption!; Mabon: Quickly, defeat that Kryptis!; Mabon: Hurry to me; we must cleanse the crystal!

After one of the memories is purged: Mabon: The first memory has been purged. You will have peace again soon, old friend.

After two of the memories are purged: Mabon: Another memory excised. Keep pushing forward!

After all three memories are purged: Mabon: We have purged the corruption from some of his memories but...we must press on if we are to bring Lyhr back.; Mabon: The corruption is spreading through his mind now, into his more recent memories. We have to hurry!; Mabon: I...couldn't contain the power in the memory snares. We'll need to charge them again. I am sorry, friends.

After one snare is recharged: Mabon: Hold on, Lyhr. We'll get through this.

After two snares are recharged: Mabon: I won't fail you, my friend.

After all snares are recharged: Mabon: Split up! We must cleanse the corruption from all three memories!

If a snare is not defended: Mabon: The snare went down! You have to get it back up, quickly!; Mabon: Get that snare back up quickly, or we risk losing Lyhr forever!; Mabon: It's charged again, and not a moment too soon!

Fourth memory (snare 1): Lyhr: What are you damn things doing here? No invitation means you're not welcome in Tyria, understand?; Lyhr: Did your master send you, or was it someone else? No answer, of course. Not sure why I even bothered.; Lyhr: Weapons ready, ward!

Fifth memory (snare 2): Lyhr: Do these damn pirates have any idea what damage they're doing to the very fabric of Tyria?; Lyhr: Hey, stop! Stop this instant, you bleedin'... What did you just say? Oh, I'm taking the gloves early today.; Lyhr: All right, ward, take 'em down!

Sixth memory (snare 3): Lyhr: Another Void tear inside the tower? Come on, we've got to seal it!; Lyhr: This is quite a mess they've made here. But if they can get themselves out of it, maybe it's time to give them a chance.; Lyhr: Until then, it looks like we've gotta handle things ourselves again.

Once snares become corrupted: Mabon: What is... No, the kryptis are distorting the devices!; Mabon: You have to destroy the memory snares to stop them. It's the only way!

After one snare has been destroyed: Mabon: It's back on the platform, but be careful! I sense that something has changed.

After destroying all three memory snares: Mabon: Without the memory snares, the platform isn't safe. Go and help the others!

Upon killing the first memory snare invader: Mabon: They're drawing magic from each other, somehow. You need to kill them at once!

Upon killing the third memory snare invader: Mabon: They're turning their focus to Lyhr! They're desperate! Everyone to me; now is our chance to finish them!

After event success: Mabon: Lyhr! Lyhr, can you hear me?; Lyhr: Ah, would you quit shouting? Got enough of a headache as it is.; Lyhr: But I do feel better with that nonsense of my mind.; Mabon: It is...a relief to see you well, my friend.; Lyhr: Well then, whaddaya say we get back home?

In front of the tower: Lyhr: Now we see if this key was worth all the trouble.; Mabon: Whenever you're ready.; Lyhr: More redundancies! Isgarren is ridiculous with the security here. All the work wasn't enough.; Mabon: It was, Lyhr. We are home now, even if it's just a part of it. Let's enjoy that while we can.; Lyhr: I wish there was something here that would help us open the rest.; Mabon: With so many ritual books in here, there is bound to be something in at least one of them that we can use.

Talking to Lyhr in the tower courtyard after event success

Do you regret losing your memories?

Lyhr: No...no, I don't. There's a lot that is missing since I joined the wizards, but I've got a lot of memories with them.

Lyhr: What made those memories special also made them dangerous to our enemies. Our work is too important to risk that.

Lyhr: Besides, just because I don't remember it doesn't mean it didn't happen. For me, for us...that has to be enough.

Are you feeling better now?

Lyhr: I'm getting there. It was rough for a while, having those things crawling around in my head.

Lyhr: Luckily, that stiff kick to the head you gave me is just what the doctor ordered. Sometimes, that's what it takes.

Lyhr: But if you had any lingering doubts about how serious the situation is, hopefully this has cleared them.

Nothing right now.

Talking to Mabon in the tower courtyard after event success

So the key only partly worked, what do we do now?

Mabon: We will need to find additional solutions, it seems. But things are in motion, and there is value in that.

Mabon: For now, we should enjoy this victory; we're only given so many of these, after all.

Do you feel guilty about having to remove memories?

Mabon: Of course. We pay a heavy cost to join the order, and that mantle weighs heavy on my shoulders, even after all this time.

Mabon: But if we are going to make decisions for all of Tyria, we must be free of entanglements with it.

Mabon: No one joins the court without understanding that, though. I'm proud of each of them. Their sacrifice is not lost on me.

After all this, I bet you could use a vacation.

Mabon: Maybe so. I'll admit, there's been little time for rest around here as of late.

Mabon: But when I see the strength of my fellows on the court, the courage of the ward...I know this is where I belong.

Mabon: The truth is, even in these dark times...there's nowhere I'd rather be.

I'll ask later.

Before courtyard gates close: Mabon: I was afraid of this. The tower's defenses are turning on again. We won't have long before it...expels us.; Lyhr: A pretty unpleasant step; you can take my word for that. Nearly lost a foot last time.; Lyhr: So what now, then?; Mabon: We'll learn what we can while we're here. Hopefully, it'll be enough.; Mabon: I will wait as long as I can, then regroup at the Beacon of Ages to plan our next steps.; Lyhr: Well, I'm taking off now. I've got enough of a headache without the tower kicking me while I'm down.; Mabon: I never expected that one day I would feel so attached to this place. If only I had more time here.

Event failure: Mabon: There's no way to keep Lyhr and the key anymore... Stand back. I'm going to destroy it.; Mabon: The key's magic will draw them away from Lyhr. We'll have to try again later, but...it's not worth his life.

Notes[edit]

The enemies projected from Lyhr's memories during the memory snare extraction phases, count towards achievements related to the enemy archetype; e.g., the Nightmare enemies award progress for the War Eternal: Burning Forest Slayer achievement, and the Void enemies award progress for the corresponding Wizard's Vault "Defeat 100 enemies" objective. If you are looking for a particular enemy archetype, they appear as follows:
- First extraction:
  - Platform I (Northwest): Stone Summit
  - Platform II (Southwest): Destroyer
  - Platform III (East): White Mantle and Jade Construct
- Second extraction:
  - Platform I (Northwest): Nightmare
  - Platform II (Southwest): Aetherblade
  - Platform III (East): Void
