Run north and along the inner bay shore on Aerlinthe until you reach the crater to the north in the middle of the island. Take the path upward on the right side of the crater and follow it around to the back of the crater rim.
  2. The drop has one enemy there a Mu-miyah Lord, 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.

  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.

  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.

  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.
  15. Continue to follow the hall east and you will head up another ramp. On the left will be the same jump you took earlier. Take it again now.
  16. From the entrance head back to the intersection with the 3 doors, and take the east door and continue east at the split. The door will be open and you can now jump across.

Non-Jumping Strategy

  1. It is possible to complete this part of the quest for a group without having everyone complete the jumps.
  2. Have 2 people complete the jumping portion to the far doorway. Have everyone else in your group clear the floor of the large room and wait underneath the far doorway above.
  3. Have one of the two jumpers stand in the doorway to bug the door when the keeper is attacked. This person must not move.
  4. When everyone is in position, have the second jumper talk to the keeper to begin the boss fight. Kill the rats first, then bait the keeper into attacking and drag him from the room.
  5. Have the second jumper jump to the platform just outside the doorway, the keeper will follow and plummet to the floor below.
  6. The rest of the group should now kill the keeper and loot the fragments.

  3. Follow the halls South until you head down a ramp. In the next room, take the exit heading west. Follow the hall until you come to another room with multiple exits. Take the North exit and you will come to a series of jumps.
  4. Make two jumps across and there will be an open door into a room to the south. The danger here is in overshooting the jumps and falling into one of the pits. If this happens you must portal recall and run back.
    • For a character with 500 buffed jump skill, the first jump is a 50% regular jump. For different jump skill levels, adjust accordingly.
    • For a character with 500 buffed jump skill, the second jump is a 25% regular jump. For different jump skill levels, adjust accordingly.

    • The larger fragments fit together to create a Completed Signet.
    • Important Note: The flagging is permanent. There is no need to repeat the 4 corners dungeons!


You allow El'Yst Maggann to examine your Completed Signet.
El'Yst Maggann tells you, "You did it! You found the 4 pieces of the Signet! Let's release the magic within and continue on our quest."
You hand over 1 of your Completed Signets.
El'Yst places the Signet against your forehead and begins chanting.
El'Yst Maggann tells you, "The protections placed on the Sanctuary will no longer affect you. Journey deep within the Recluse's lair in the heart of the Lost City and find the Mu-miyah's Idol."
El'Yst Maggann tells you, "There is so much to learn from this trinket."

The Sanctuary of the Recluse

  1. Head to the Sanctuary of the Recluse at 20.8S, 7.5E within the Lost City of Neftet. It is located on top of one of the taller buildings.
  2. 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 Chorizite Chest.
  3. As you head north you will reach a room with four Mu-miyah Lords and killable Door. Take down the Door and continue down the hall.
  4. 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.
  5. 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 Dust 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 Ancient Dusty Key to open the second wooden door (999 resistance).
  6. 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.
  7. Using the Altar will spawn two Bak'tshay Lackeys and four Dust Golems. As each Bak'tshay Lackey dies, it will spawn two Pillars in the corners of the room. Archers and Mages should quickly kill the Pillars as they are very dangerous!
  8. As each set of Pillars is destroyed, one of the two doors leading to the next room will open. The two doors are on separate timers, so the Bak'tshay Lackeys need to both die within a short amount of time of each other.
    • Tip: If alone or with a small group, after the first Bak'tshay Lackey dies you can draw the second into the now open hallway and kill it there. Then if the first door closes, you are already inside and past it.
  9. Once all Pillars 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 your group is ready use the Altar and you will be dropped into the Lair of the Magus.

Lair of the Magus

  1. The drop into the Lair of the Magus is a very hot drop. When you come out of portal space you will be in a room with numerous Mu-miyah Lords, Dust Golems, a Mu-miyah Magus, and a Mu-miyah Recluse. All of these creatures can cast various forms of magical walls, waves, and rings (both War and Void). Be careful of getting multi-shot by bomb and ring spells.
  2. A good strategy tends to be attacking the Dust Golems first, then the Mu-miyah Lords, then the Mu-miyah Magus and Mu-miyah Recluse. This way you can minimize the number of spells flying around the room as quickly as possible. The Mu-miyah Magus uses Void Magic. Beware of getting hit by a void drain spell in the chaos of the battle.
  3. When the Recluse dies, a Sarcophogus will spawn in the center of the room. Use it to get to the rewards room. There is a 3 minute timer on the Sarcophogus so do not delay.
    • Note: Because of the obstacles in the dungeon (destroyable door, locked door, mini boss room) and the timer on the Sarcophogus, it is unlikely that anyone who dies will be able to get back.
  4. Speak to the Lingering Spirit of the Recluse NPC for your Legendary Key and a non-useable Idol of the Recluse. Use the Legendary Key on the Legendary Chests nearby.
  5. Return to El'Yst Maggann and give him the Idol of the Recluse for Luminance, XP, and a wield-able version of the Idol of the Recluse.
