*You must speak [[Krombral]], the language of [[:Category:Giant|Giants]], in order to complete this quest.
−
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.''

−
# Approach the ravine in {{Zone|Lavastorm}} that leads to the entry to {{Instance|Maiden's Gulch}} and speak to {{NPC|Sebir the Historian}}, {{loc|-167.86|-9.63|-546.37}}who tells you about the sage who needs rescuing.
 +
#Approach the ravine in [[Solusek Valley]] within [[Lavastorm]] and speak to [[Sebir the Historian]] at {{loc|-168|-10|-546}}. He will tell you about a sage trapped within the nearby [[Maiden's Gulch]] instance that is need of rescuing.
−
#Zone a group of players at least level 45 into {{Instance|Maiden's Gulch: Rescue of the Sage}}.
 +
#Enter [[Maiden's Gulch: Rescue of the Sage]]. {{Loc|-193.76|-1.65|-351.19}}
  +
#*You must be minimum level 50 to bring your group into the zone. Click the door and choose the correct instance to enter. (45 min for zone)
−
# Kill the Drakota Inquisitor and {{Named|Vyr'drais the Vicious}} (51^^^ Heroic, no longer Epic) with 2 adds, and hail {{NPC|the Sage of Ages}} on the platform behind him to start the quest.<BR><BR>

#Kill the [[A Drakota inquisitor|Drakota inquisitor]] and [[Vyr'drais the Vicious]].
−

#Hail the [[The Sage of Ages|Sage of Ages]] on the platform above the lava pit to start the quest.
⚫
== Steps ==
  
−  
−
# Once you've started the quest with the Sage, travel to the bottom of {{Zone|Solusek's Eye}} (where translucent paths wind over the lava) and enter the {{Instance|The Oratorium of Thyr}} {{loc|-202|-617|-198}}.
  
−
#*''To get to the paths which lead to the Oratorium you will need to take a lift {{loc|-325|-595|187}} to the third floor in the Giant Apartments, but it may appear that you can only travel up to the second floor. To get to the third floor, open the door once you arrive at the second floor and hit the "up" option on the triangular button just inside the door (you may need to run into the room and back to the lift, but there is a short delay on the lift which should allow you to do so before the lift moves up to the third floor).''
  
−
#Just before you reach the Oratorium there is a ledge you must jump down {{loc|-103|-614|-292}}.
 
−
# Fight your way through the Oratorium (level 50-51^^ giants) to {{Named|Flame Lord Thyr}}.
  
−
## 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 - Target Him and press H.''
  
−
## 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). Note: even if the magma elementals do not aggro (ex: they are grey con) you will need to fight them anyway once banished to the cage.
 
−
##* 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 can be difficult. Use a Longbow and +5 range Field arrows. Monks can also solo this at level 80, Peel is capable of hitting the Flame Lord while in the cage.
  
−
## After the Flame Lord is defeated, the person in the cage is immediately teleported to the back door from the cage.
  
−
# Exit the Oratorium using the Doorway BEHIND where you initially hailed Tyr to proceed on to Nagafen's Lair.
  
−
# Use the gong to have your group enter {{Instance|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.''
  
⚫
# Speak to {{Named|Majordomo Inferinus}} who tells you that you need to learn the language Elder Dragon to be able to speak to Lord Nagafen.
 
⚫
# Speak to {{Named|the Sage of Ages}} in {{Zone|Antonica}} on the top floor of the {{POI|Tower of the Oracles}}. He tells you that you need to find 26 translated runes of Elder Dragon to learn the language.
  
⚫
# Gather the 26 runes (see below).
 
−
# Speak to {{Named|the Sage of Ages}} again.

  ⚫
#Return to the [[The Sage of Ages|Sage of Ages]] in [[Antonica]] on the top floor of the [[Tower of the Oracles]] at {{Loc|-1030|14|-618}}. He tells you that you need to find 26 translated runes of Elder Dragon to learn the [[Draconic|Draconic language]].
  +
#*If the Sage of Ages disappears or is not there, leave and re-enter the tower again.
  ⚫
#Gather the 26 runes.
  +
#*If this is your first character (on a given account) completing this quest, you must gather the 26 runes from their locations in the world, as listed [[#Rune Locations|below]].
  +
#*If you have already completed this quest on at least one character, you can transfer the [[Tablet of Draconic Runes]] to any character on your account, as it is an heirloom. If you deleted the tablet, it can be re-acquired from the [[Shady Swashbuckler XVIII]] on the docks of [[Port Naythex]] in [[Nektulos Forest]] at {{loc|804|6|-98}}.
  +
#Return to the Sage of Ages for your reward. Afterwards, go back to Nagafen's Lair and speak with Lord Nagafen to acquire the following quest.

*''Sissthra and Rett'' Runes: You don't have to complete the access quest [[Summoning the Creator]] in order to unlock the door leading to the lower levels.

* ''Voth'' Rune: You will either have to complete the access quest [[Entrance into the Obelisk]] or use the Feerrott zone-in which puts you just inside the Obelisk.

**''Note: You no longer need to complete any access quests once the zone is greyed out for your character. However, you no longer need to kill the Labyrinth Shadow and the Keeper of Nihility to reach level 3. EDIT: 7/1/18: At 110, I had to complete all unlock quests and kill named bosses to unlock all doors to get to Level 3. ''

*The simplest entrance to the obelisk might be commonlands, take the griffin to Nektulos Station, and then head toward obelisk entrance, kill the shadowed men and you will see a purple glow, click it and you're in or druid or wiz portal to Antonica which is right by an entrance. If you're high level (perhaps on the swashie epic repercussions quest), you may want to pick up several quests, set your aa slider correctly and chrono to level 50 to grind out some xp while you're here, there is even an HQ to kill 100 nightbloods you can pick up in Rivervale (By Hook or by Crook).

Vee Qeynos Capitol District Concordium Tower Take the yellow teleporter up and head to the bottom. The scroll is under the stairs on the left. ( 698, 82, 127 ) Copy
Aerr Stormhold Library On a bookshelf across from the door on the opposite wall between tables, look for a book slightly out from the others. ( -127, -32, -140 ) Copy (You get access by clicking on a grate in the floor at ( 5, -26, -121 ) Copy on the second level down in Stormhold.)

Feerrott

Translated Rune Zone Building/Area Location
Gresh The Feerrott The Hidden Camp Go inside the tent behind Merchant Murgina and look up. The scroll is standing on its end next to the center pole up top. ( -149, 14, 187 ) Copy
Draedan The Feerrott Golgoth Bridge Under the bridge, facing west, a brown tome leaning up against center support pillar of bridge. ( -342, -8, 492 ) Copy

Voth The Obelisk of Lost Souls Near the instrument of torture's room On level 1, on a table. ( -48, 594, 286 ) Copy
Sissthra The Obelisk of Lost Souls The Aethenaeum of Shadows On level 3, the scroll is near a candle. ( -429, 396, 244 ) Copy
Rett The Obelisk of Lost Souls The Medium of Cron's room On level 3, next to a cabinet near the Medium of Cron. ( -436, 371, 332 ) Copy
  • Sissthra and Rett Runes: You don't have to complete the access quest Summoning the Creator in order to unlock the door leading to the lower levels. When you're in the central chamber and the purple glowing exit is behind you, then the way forward is level 1, the way to the right is level 2.
  • Voth Rune: You will either have to complete the access quest Entrance into the Obelisk or use the Feerrott zone-in which puts you just inside the Obelisk.
    • Note: You no longer need to complete any access quests once the zone is greyed out for your character. However, you no longer need to kill the Labyrinth Shadow and the Keeper of Nihility to reach level 3. EDIT: 7/1/18: At 110, I had to complete all unlock quests and kill named bosses to unlock all doors to get to Level 3.
  • The simplest entrance to the obelisk might be commonlands, take the griffin to Nektulos Station, and then head toward obelisk entrance, kill the shadowed men and you will see a purple glow, click it and you're in or druid or wiz portal to Antonica which is right by an entrance. If you're high level (perhaps on the swashie epic repercussions quest), you may want to pick up several quests, set your aa slider correctly and chrono to level 50 to grind out some xp while you're here, there is even an HQ to kill 100 nightbloods you can pick up in Rivervale (By Hook or by Crook).
