Steps

1. Speak to the Duality in Feerrott. (near wizard spire)
2. Speak to Rikantus, who is now also in The Feerrott near the Duality.
3. Speak to Duality again.
4. Speak to Lady Nevedaria at ( -116, -270, 2964 ) Copy/waypoint -116, -270, 2964 outside of Sleeper's Tomb in Eastern Wastes.
5. Enter Sleeper's Tomb: The Forgotten Catacombs (Advanced Solo) by clicking on the door at ( 54, -337, 2913 ) Copy/waypoint 54, -337, 2913.
6. Find the missing pieces:

• First half of the Wurmbone Key: ( -321, -145, -320 ) Copy/waypoint -321, -145, -320 in the back of Pyre's room. (Unsure of strategy other than hit hard and fast. Pyre spawns adds every 25%, which must be dealt with - blue and green AEs are suggested.)

◦ Hotkey the Globule of Mass Deceleration. ◦ When Frost casts Pile Driver the first time, use a globule against him. This makes a pillar attackable. Focus on defeating the pillar. ◦ Beat on Frost again until you can interrupt Pile Driver again. This makes a second pillar attackable; defeat it. ◦ Now you should be able to defeat Frost.

• Second half of the Wurmbone Key: ( -321, -145, 139 ) Copy/waypoint -321, -145, 139 in the back of Frost's room. (Get him to damage a pillar and then keep hitting that one until it falls, he is nearly invincible until then.)Clear his room of constructs before engaging him.

◦ During the fight you will receive multiple texts about Pyre. When this occurs a mob will spawn from a column. ◦ Kill the mob that spawns from one of the columns in the room ASAP or he will soon unleash some major damage upon you. ◦ Once all four events occur he will be fully weakened and will die

• Return to the Commander room and go take the now-open hallway to the east. • Walking through skulls in the middle of the hallway will briefly turn you into an imp and make an extra caretaker spawn.

• The next named you encounter is the Eternal Sentinel (102^). ◦ Keep him near the gargoyles that are walking around. ◦ Whenever he charges make sure he runs into a gargoyle. ◦ After he hits it 2-3 times it should break and he'll no longer be able to siphon health from it. ◦ Continue having the Eternal Sentinel charge into the other gargoyles until all four are destroyed.

• Continue east. The three injured Draconians will give you hints.

◦ "We were unable to contain the power of the pillars; they cannot be active for long!" ◦ "Should have known... red... counters blue." ◦ "... pedestal... must get the statue on... pedestal."

• Map: ( -580, -118, -89 ) Copy/waypoint -580, -118, -89 at the Forgotten Statue's feet. (If you avoid stepping in the circle, he won't attack you.)

◦ Before fully clearing the room, play with the pillars to get accustomed to how they function. In a nutshell, the first click makes the red beam appear, the second click makes the blue beam appear, and the third click resets the pillars. ◦ Near the center of the room are four pillars--two red, two blue. ◦ Get the statue to the center pedestal when you need to counter him. ◦ Whenever the statue has a red aura up, counter it with a blue pillar. ◦ Whenever the statue has a blue aura up, counter it with a red pillar. ◦ When dragging him into the aura, make sure he remains there until the message states that his cerulean aura dissipates.
