Approach the warrior effigies at the edge of the pit to activate them. Once the statues are dead, the tile each was standing upon becomes clickable.
Click the tiles until you find the one that displays a mural across the pit with two shissar facing each other. Walk across the pit toward that mural, there is an invisible bridge over the spikes.
Approach ( -30, -170, -374 ) Copy/waypoint -30.46, -169.88, -373.92 to activate Vesshtri the Swordfang.
Look at the clock on the ground. It starts at 6am, the sword is the hour hand, and the lance is the minute hand. One of the 12 statues has a blue staff (the others are holding hammers), and that represent 12 on the clock. Once you engage the bosses, the clock starts.
Rath'Girosz is stronger (offense and defense) between 6am and 6pm and Rath'Argoth is stronger during 6pm and 6am. The ambient light in the area indicates night/day.
Click on the center of the clock at ( 178, -161, -30 ) Copy/waypoint 178.28, -160.73, -30.01 and enter the time from the floor clock. Note: The statue with the staff is 12. The minute hand is very precise, so you could enter times like "8:03". The hour hand is less accurate, so you might try adjusting the hour if it's not working.
Collect Mystic Relic at ( 117, -162, -30 ) Copy/waypoint 117.48, -161.81, -29.71 and then use the portal to go back to the central chamber.
Click the Idol of Mystics in the NW corner at ( 75, -32, -78 ) Copy/waypoint 75.33, -32.00, -78.06.
Use the activated portal at ( 32, -31, -34 ) Copy/waypoint 32.47, -30.75, -34.34.
Defeat Gorgorah the Shadowmanic in the center of the room.
Power drains - be prepared.
Periodically she will disappear. Go back into the shadow bubble to find her.
Periodic knockback.
Use the wheel at ( -230, -138, 64 ) Copy/waypoint -230.21, -138.20, 64.36 to rotate the ramp.
Note for the Heroic version: the ramp has to be rotated 8 times in a particular sequence: C (go press switch); C C (go press switch); A A C (go press switch); C C (go press switch); where C = clockwise, A = counterclockwise.
Fun side note: When you click the wheel, if you are fast you can run and hop on the ramp while it moves.
Go up the ramp and push the Gate Activation Switch at the top.
Repeat 2 more times to activate all 3 switches.
Note that the gate to the Relic of Royalty does NOT automatically open.
Rotate the ramp once more to align with the Relic's platform, and go up the ramp. Click on the gate itself to open it, then take the Relic.
Return to the ruins above by using the portal in the wall you arrived by.
Click the Idol of Royalty at ( -81, -32, 77 ) Copy/waypoint -80.70, -31.95, 77.39
Use the Underground Access portal in the center of the room at ( -2, -31, 1 ) Copy/waypoint -2.07, -30.59, 1.41 and head down the stairs it reveals.
Sra'Veraz the Shadowgate
NOTE: The facets puzzle is a little different in the Heroic version -- see additional notes below.
Kill Akhevans as needed to progress through the room.
Click the Facets at each landing and make a note of the pictogram on the panel that rises into view for each. The options are: hammer, staff, sword, and symbol.
First landing: Boa's Facet at ( -67, -79, -98 ) Copy/waypoint -66.68, -78.97, -98.15
Second landing: Python's facet at ( -97, -96, -66 ) Copy/waypoint -97.21, -96.20, -65.61
Third landing: Viper's Facet at ( -64, -115, -34 ) Copy/waypoint -64.49, -114.54, -33.91
At the bottom of the ramp is a central room, with four side rooms representing each of the Facets. In each room, click on the settings pedestal to enter the pictogram type for that Facet you learned on the way down.
Cobra's Setting at ( 33, -150, -66 ) Copy/waypoint 33.04, -150.15, -65.93 -- enter the pictogram type you noted from the Cobra's Facet.
Viper's Setting at ( -66, -150, 31 ) Copy/waypoint -65.99, -150.15, 30.93 -- enter the pictogram type you noted from the Viper's Facet.
Python's Setting at ( -163, -150, -66 ) Copy/waypoint -162.62, -150.15, -66.26 -- enter the pictogram type you noted from the Python's Facet.
Boa's Setting at ( -66, -150, -162 ) Copy/waypoint -66.30, -150.15, -162.19 -- enter the pictogram type you noted from the Boa's Facet.
Note: If, for some reason, you did not note the symbols (like me) or you forgot, you can get the symbol settings by trial and error, since once a symbol setting is correct, you can no longer change it (once the statue is done rotating) and there's no penalty for getting it wrong.
Also note that the settings are not unique. A given setting can apply to 0 or more facets; eg, you might get one staff and 3 swords.
Defeat Kor Va Xian at ( -65, -146, -67 ) Copy/waypoint -64.88, -146.06, -67.14
Periodic knockback.
Periodically summons adds.
Will periodically port you to a dark room - you must get out of that room as quickly as possible or you will die.
If you die during the final fight and have to revive at the entrance, camp on the steps that drop out; when you load back in, you will be on the spiral ramp going down and can get back to him.
Note for the Heroic version: he may also give a luclinite bomb to someone: just destroy it before it explodes.
Heroic Version - additional notes[]
Additional notes for the The Python's Coil and Sra'Veraz the Shadowgate rooms:
the ramp has to be rotated 8 times in a particular sequence to get to each of the four switches:
Clockwise once, then go press switch
Clockwise twice, then go press switch
Counterclockwise twice, then Clockwise once, then go press switch
Clockwise twice, then go press switch.
Sra'Veraz the Shadowgate :
The symbols don't appear when you click on the facets. Instead you must go all the way to the bottom, then stand in a certain spot on the bottom level (approximatively in front of each side room access) and look waaay up (you may have to "adjust" your POV to get it to appear). Then just run into the room you're standing in front of and type whatever it was (hammer, staff, sword, or symbol) into the textbox that appears when you click on the pillar.
Where to look for Heroic puzzle
Defeat Kor Va Xian :
Strat notes as above, plus he may also give a luclinite bomb to someone: just destroy it before it explodes.
