The Story So Far...

   Twitch has gone missing from Alphus Lassal!  All that he left behind is a note.  Your mission: Find him!

Step 0: Preparation

• Magic Protection - While in this dungeon every single baddie cast spells and lots of them!

Step 1: The Clue

  While roaming around, rumor has it that Marae Lassal has had some strange goings on.  Upon investigating this, you will come across Aurten Rhell in Bluespire at 39.5N, 75.5W.  Talk to him and he will tell you:

Aurten Rhell tells you, "Ah hello! Perhaps you could help me. I am new to this island and am not particularly familiar with the landscape. Could I convince you to help me? I need information on the strange incidents occurring on the plateau."
Aurten kneels down and opens a nearby pack. He tilts the pack so that you can see what is inside and then quickly pulls back the pack from your sight and closes it.
Aurten Rhell tells you, "What are you waiting for? I promised my superiors I would have a report for them!"

Step 2: Cultists Altar

  Head on up to the plateau and start exploring the western half.  Randomly located you will find Cultist Altars.  When you defile them (by double-clicking on them) random monsters will spawn.  This part can get ugly real quick.  The monsters range from Scathisae, Vapor Golems, and other mid-level nasties to The Black Breath, which does hollow acid damage and will kick your butt real quick if you are not real careful.  My first time attempting this I took my crossbow guy and nearly got whacked because I was getting hit for nearly 100 damage through full tinkered amuli every time I changed weapons to try something different.  My suggestion: Have mages Imperil, Fester, and Vuln the crap out of it, have a melee guy or three smack at it while wearing olthoi armor and olthoi shields, and archers standing back plinking away until the evil thing dies!

  Anyhow, sooner or later you will get a Dark Vapor to spawn.  Kill that and a portal to Caliginous Bethel (level 35+ minimum) will appear.  Jump into the portal.  The arrival point is safe for rebuffing, but don't wander far, or the cultists will swarm you.

Step 3: The Switches

   Ok, now that you are inside, the real fun begins!  Rebuff at your arrival point, as it takes some time to get through here.  Full protects and banes are recommended, as there is a bit of everything to fight down here.  Split into two groups.  The first group will want to go to the point on the map marked as D3 (door three) to wait for the second group.  To get there go as follows:

1. Go straight ahead until you come into a big room with lots of cultists and cultist cohorts, on your left you will find poor Twitch, still locked up.  Hang a left at his cage and go through the door.  This is where groups 1 and two split.  Group 1 will be in GREEN and group two in RED.

2. Take the first left after going through the door and go down the ramp.

3. Hang you first right, and then right again, and you will come to a circular staircase.  Go up the stairs and wait in front of the door for the other group to get it open.

4. Continue straight on past the point where group 1 turned off and you will head up a ramp and come to a T intersection.

5. Turn left at the T intersection and head straight until you are forced to turn right.  Continue on to the next T intersection.

6. Turn left at the T intersection and continue on until you have to turn right.  go through one room and into the next and you will see doors on both sides of you.  These doors will open and fire and lightning elementals will attack you.

7. Kill all the baddies and go into both rooms and flip the levers you will find in each room.

8. Once the levers are flipped, head to the right from the fire room (continuing on to the east.)

9. Follow the passage straight and it will dump you into another passage.  Take the first right and head up.

10. Turn right through the open door, cross the bridge, and go into the frost room and flip the lever, which open open the door for team 1.

11. Go into the now open door and follow the passage into a large room with some baddies.  Kill all of them and behind the altar you will find a button.  Push the button, and head back down the passage and down the stairs.

12. Continue straight ahead until you come to a flight of circular stairs going up.  Head up and through the open door.  Team 2 should meet you here.

13. Head back across the bridge and back down the ramp.

14. Continue straight ahead and follow the passage to a door that leads back into the room with Twitch.

15. Go through the room and out through the door next to Twitch's cage again.

16. Take the first left after going through the door and go down the ramp.

17. Hang you first right, and then a left.  You will come to a flight of circular stairs.  Head up the stairs and through the door to meet up with team two.

18. Once through the door, follow the passage into a big room with an altar.  Kill everything in the room and push the button behind the altar.

19. Head back out and down the stairs and take your first right.

Step 4: Cultist Priest room

  Head all the way down the hallway and THROUGH (yes THROUGH) the wall at the end of the hall.  It was a secret door that the button opened.

  Split your team (if possible) at the split in the passage, and you will come to doors.  Have mages in both teams imperil everything possible, then have archers wipe out the cultist priests in this room, dodge the HUGE number of war spells that will be coming at them.

  Once everything is dead head into the room to a pit and jump in.

Step 5: Shadow Central

  When you hit bottom, kill anything in there, then come around to another jump.  Have the mages imperil everything and then everyobdy jump in and whack all the baddies in this room.

  Take any of the passages and work you way down to another big room.  These rooms have Lesser Void Knights and Lesser Shadow Wraiths, which drop an item called the Repugnant Bracelet.  Have everyone pick one up.  Once everyone has one, recall to the Sanctuary.

Step 6: Cleaning the bracelet

  Ok, last part here.  Head down the stairs of the Ithaenc Cathedral, and to the right side.  You will find a well (Adja's Well) with a bucket next it it.  Pick up the bucket and use it on the well to get some of the water.  Now listen CLOSELY to this part.  Use the BRACELET on the WATER to the the Refulgent Bracelet.  If you use the water you will drink it and have to wait 24 hours to get more.  Ok, you are done!
