Quest Overview

Walk Through

Run to the Dark Cavern - (87.9N 9.3W)
- Route: Take the Snowy Valley settlement portal in Tou-Tou
- You are dropped at a random starting location when you enter.

Maze

Preliminary Directions:

Go up and as far S or N where you can
When you reach a big room with a pit, you can zoom out, and see an opening one level down
The pit has an invisible floor, do a shift jump. It was about a 3/4 jump. The invisible floor is out a bit from the edge, so don't try to just jump as close to the edge as you can.
At the end of the level below, there is a "Surface" Portal. (It does NOT take you to the surface where you started!!)
This portals you to another big room with stones you need to jump

Jumping Puzzle

If you do not want to jump, you can kill the Defender golems up the ramp on the right hand side of the room. The path leads to the same portal puzzle as the jumping puzzle.

Concerning the Path with the Golems:

There is a series of 3 rooms to pass through, each with 3 Follower of Deewain golems (lvl 220, 3250 hp), and a different element of "defender" golem (25,000 hp).
The Followers are on a very fast respawn timer, but do minimal damage both melee and magic wise
Slay the "guardian" of a room to open the door into the room beyond
At the end of the 3 rooms is a room with 3 portals

The locations of the platforms change, so there will be different routes
- Route 1:

Shift Jump to the rock in the middle, just below the platform
Looong jump N, towards another rock in the middle, you won't land on top of it, but bump off it on another one
Shift jump to the NW
Long jump E, slightly N, to a rock against the wall
Shift jump to the next one
Backwards shift jump
Step backwards, shift jump
Long jump straight N
Shift jump W
Backwards shift jump on the platform

Portal Puzzle

Next, there will be three portals, each bringing you to a next section with more portals
Worked:

Left
Left
Mid
Right
Mid

If you take a wrong portal, you're back at the start of the jumping puzzle...

Fallen Spikes & Rocks

If you do it right, you will end up in another big room with LOTS of Falling Spikes
- Go left wall, watch sequence, when last one nearby falls, run like hell

Next, there are Missile Defender Golems who hurl rocks at you
Step back into the hallway and kill the 4 Fallen Rocks that lie on the ramp.
On the other side, there is another large room with Followers of Deewain, 1 Fiery Defender, 1 Charged Defender and a Chilled Defender

Kill the Chilled Defender, Fiery Defender, Charged Defender and a 5 minute portal to Deewain's Chambers will spawn.

Deewain's Chamber

Deewain is surrounded by a few Rocks and Followers of Deewain. He is weak to bludgeoning and acid. Deewain has 200,250 health and nasty debuffs. If you defeat him, the rocks blocking the passage out of the room disappear. Follow the passage and pick up a rock on the ground (27 day timer) and hand to Fayza in Xarabydun for your reward.
