Prerequisites

You MUST have learned Krombral (Giant-language) or you will not be able to zone into the Oratorium Of Thyr and will not be able to reach Nagafen for the final portion of this quest. When traveling from the top of the zone to the Oratorium there are approximately enough Giants to drop enough Giant Idols get two members of your party all six necessary idols.

Starting the Quest

  1. Approach the ravine in Lavastorm that leads to the entry, it will then tell you the truth... "YOU ARE A NOOB"

Steps

  1. Once you've started the quest with the Sage, travel deep into Solusek's Eye and enter the The Oratorium of Thyr-202, -617, -198 ) Copy.
  2. Just before you reach the Oratorium there is a ledge you must jump down ( -103, -614, -292 ) Copy.
  3. Fight your way through the Oratorium (level 50-51^^ giants) to Flame Lord Thyr.
    1. Hail him to spawn two Efreeti minions. Any member of the party can do this, as long as the party is prepared to fight the Efreeti after the hail. Tip: You must be close to him to get the conversation tree - this confused me for quite some time.
    2. After defeating the Efreeti minions, have a non-critical party member hail the Flame Lord.
      • The person hailing the Flame Lord is temporarily banished to a cage from which they cannot escape and will draw aggro from magma elementals in the zone (if they haven't been cleared previously).
      • The person doing the hailing should obviously not be your main tank. Conjurers, Necromancers and Illusionists are able to use their pet while in the cage. It is also possible to cast down on the Flamelord and to heal from the cage.
      • If you can solo the Flamelord, it is possible to range pull him to the cage (or root him to a safe distance) and complete the instance solo, but the task is difficult.
    3. After the Flame Lord is defeated, the person in the cage is immediately teleported back from the cage.
    • NOTE: You can NOT solo the Flame Lord from the cage, you need to have a friend hit the Flame Lord while encaged. Or you will sit in the cage by yourself :D. It is possible to solo Flame lord as of the TSO expansion, you need a really long range attack or bow such as Longarm. after his defeat you will be ported out of the cage.
  4. Exit the Oratorium using the Doorway BEHIND where you initially hailed Tyr to proceed on to Nagafen's Lair.
    • After defeating Thyr, you gain access to a new version of the zone called Oratorium of Thyr (Deserted) which will allow you to pass through later without fighting.
  5. Use the gong to have your group enter Nagafen's Lair. Because you do not know the Elder Dragon language (the whole point of this quest is to learn it), you can't speak to Lord Nagafen once you enter.
  6. Speak to Majordomo Inferinus who tells you that you need to learn the language Elder Dragon to be able to speak to Lord Nagafen.
  7. Speak to the Sage of Ages in Antonica on the top floor of the Tower of the Oracles. He tells you that you need to find 26 translated runes of Elder Dragon to learn the language.
  8. Gather the 26 runes and speak to the Sage of Ages again.

The runes are scattered all over the shattered Norrath, but only in the zones originally available when the game launched:
