Lore & Dialog

Ned the Clever tells you, "Excellent! You can help me! We in the Arcanum think the Virindi Apostates are up to no good, but we're not sure what they're doing. It all seems to be involved with this rare Aetherium metal that's been recently discovered. We think they are stockpiling great quantities of the ore, but we do not know what they intend to do with it. We need a doughty adventurer like yourself to seek out a deposit under their control, and plant a tracking device in their stores..."
Ned the Clever tells you, "We have traced some suspicious energy patterns to the old Nexus discovered during the days of Bael'Zharon's rise. This facility may hold some clue to the location of a Virindi Apostate storehouse. Seek out the Nexus portal in the Direlands at 40.1S, 79.2W, investigate the facility, and see if you can find a way from there to the Apostate deposits. Once there, you can place this Aetheric resonator within the deposit, and I will be able to monitor their activities for the Arcanum."
Ned the Clever gives you Aetheric Resonator.

At the drop use magic def rare if you don’t have a large group, so you can use a melee def rare by the time you get to a door that leads to tougher stuff

The run is simple basically only 1 way to go, jump across first acid pit weave through the few rooms till you get to door and second pit, shift jump down and click (dubbl) the crystal in the center to be ported to new dungeon.

Only one way to go! Run till you get to a room with Virindi and a a lot of levers on west and east walls

The lever that opens the door to the north is on the west wall and is second from the north wall

Once past the door (Hold just past) clear all to wait for the 3mins so you can pop melee def rare.

     Nexus Hollows and Tougher Virindi ahead, when melee rare is popped continue to run

You will come to a room with a Virindi Master , some servants and more hollows Stop in the hall be for that room and clear. The Master has a key to the last door straight north and a mask get both. == a rare to damage == at this point is also nice.

Once ever one has a mask and at least 1 key to open door , run through door and down a short curved hall to the room where the Apostate deposits are (center pillar) and more hollows , give resonator to pillar.

Then return to Ned the Clever in his tent at 13.4N, 0.9E. Xp and dual epic mask
