Room 2[edit | edit source]

Solution
  • Move the statues such that TzHaar-Mej faces TzHaar-Ket, who faces TzHaar-Xil, who faces TzHaar-Mej. This involves a triangle formed by Xil and Mej (parallel) to the south and Ket to the north. If it doesn't work, make the triangle smaller.
  • Go through the Ancient gate.

South-west Obsidian staff
South-east Obsidian throwing ring
  • Go through the Ancient gate.

Room 5[edit | edit source]

  • Kill the 3 Tz-Kihs.
  • Kill the 2 Tz-Kils and Yt-MejKot.
  • Touch one of the pedestals.
  • Touch the pedestals in the order that they light up until the puzzle is complete. (Easy completion method: Give each pedestal a number between 1-4. Write in your chatbox the number of the last pedestal that lights up each round, forming a list. When touching pedestals, simply follow the numbers in your chatbox.) There are 8 combinations you will need to complete correctly.
  • Go through the Ancient gate.

Room 6[edit | edit source]

  • Turn off Auto Retaliate so your character does not inadvertently step on a glowing square when running to attack a monster (they deal 1000+ damage per second).

Room 9 (Boss)[edit | edit source]

In legacy mode, bring a weapon with more than one special attack (dragon dagger recommended).

  • Pass the Hot vent door to the east.
  • Talk to Ga'al-Xox. (Chat 1)
  • Rotate the eastern valve.
  • Kill TokHaar-Hok.
    • Pray melee the entire fight.
    • Avoid standing on glowing floor squares, as always.
    • You do not need to kill the spawned enemies - higher level players may focus on TokHaar-Hok. When he is defeated, the spawned enemies will die.
    • Stun TokHaar-Hok once he has lost half his health, this prevents him from healing at the flowing lava.
      • In legacy mode, you need to stun him with a special attack.
      • In non-legacy, you can easily stun-lock him with Backhand, Kick, Forceful Backhand, Stomp (threshold), and Destroy (Dual-wield threshold)
