The Charged Niche

2. The drop has 1 mob there, but is otherwise safe. The dungeon itself contains Mu-miyah Lords, Dust Golems, along with a few Infectious Rats.
3. In this dungeon you will need to hit a series of levers in order to progress through the dungeon.
4. From the drop go until you come to a 4 way split with 3 wooden doors. The first lever you will need to hit, will open the door to the west.
5. To get to the lever, take the east door, then turn south, then east and follow the hall to the lever at the end. Pull it, then retrace your steps to the 4 way intersection. The west door will now be open.
6. Jump across from the west door. When you land there will be 3 paths. To find the lever in this section, begin by heading south.
7. Ignore the 1st turn on the left, and continue west and take the SECOND left (south). The lever will be at the end of the hall.
8. After pulling the lever backtrack and take the 1st turn (now on the right) heading south that you passed moments ago.
9. At the top of the ramp will be a jump. Take it. This will put you back at the start of the dungeon. The west door will now be open. Jump across.
10. To get to the next lever take the north path, followed by a left (west). The lever will be at the end of the hall.
    • Note: After pulling this lever the final door will open. You will need to move fast to get back to it before it closes however (if by yourself). It seems to have a 3 minute timer so killing on your way back to it is not advised.
11. Pull it then backtrack to pit you jumped across. You will now need to take an alternate path to get back to the start of the dungeon.
12. The path back is littered with a series of short dead ends. Begin by going west and continue up a ramp.
13. At the top of the ramp head as far south as you can, then bear right (west).
14. Up another ramp then follow the hall south. In the small room head left (north) and then exit south from the next small room.

   • + =

The Sanctuary of the Recluse

1. Once you have all 4 fragments it is time to combine them. Combine the fire and cold fragments, then combine the lightning and acid fragments. Use the two resulting halves to create the Complete Signet
2. Return the signet to El'Yst Maggann in Yanshi at 12.0S, 42.6E and he will flag you to enter the Sanctuary of the Recluse at 20.8S, 7.5E within the Lost City of Neftet.
3. From the drop follow the hallway heading north.
   • Note: should you wish to loot the Chorizite Chest within the dungeon, take the path to the west. It is a series of rooms and T paths with dead ends one way, and the hall continuing the other. At the end is a room with 4 dust golems and the chest
4. As you head north you will reach a room with 4 undead lords and killable door. Take down the door and continue down the hall.
5. In the following section the dungeon you have the option of using lockpick to continue on (door has 850 resistance) or killing a Dust Guardian for an Ancient Dusty Key to open a second door
6. If you wish to use the lockpick option simply go North west and pick the first wooden door you come to, then jump across the gap. If you plan on killing the guardian, head north east to the room he is in and kill him, then head back to the North west bypassing the first wooden door and instead using the key to open the second wooden door (999 resistance).
7. Regardless of which method you picked, open the door, jump across the gap, and take the first turn you can heading south (the 2 paths meet back up at this intersection) until you come to a room with an altar in the middle of it.
8. Using the altar will spawn 2 Bektshay Lackey and 4 dust golems. As each bekshay dies, it opens one of the 2 doors into the room with the next altar. Because the doors will eventually close, both anekshay need to die relatively close to eachother
9. Note: if you are by yourself, after the first bekshay dies you can draw the second into the now open hallway and kill it there. Even if the first door closes, the second door will still open.
10. Once both are dead and the second door opens, head into the small room beyond which contains an altar. Now is the last time to rebuff or prepare for the final fight ahead. When you are ready, use the altar.

Lair of the Magus

1. When you come out of portal space you will be in a room with numerous Mu-miyah Lords, Dust Golems, and a Magus.
2. Note: This room has massive amounts of magic damage, both war and void. Be careful of getting multi-shot by bomb and ring spells.
3. When the Magus dies, speak to the Lingering Spirit of the Recluse NPC for your Legendary Key and the Idol of the Recluse
4. Return with the idol to El'Yst Maggann for your Luminance, XP, and a wieldable version of the Idol of the Recluse.
