== Initial Quest ==
When this quest was first introduced, each server had advance through the gate stone dungeons located at the center of the Obsidian Plains and destroy the devices inside before gaining access to Aerbax's Citadel.
 
=== Purified Quiddity Ingots ===
'''BDC:''' [[The Black Death Catacombs Quiddity Seed|Initial Quest]] > [[Black Death Catacombs Quiddity Ingot|Blue Ingot]] > [[The Black Death Catacombs Quiddity Seed Ingot Purification|Purification Quest]] > [[Purified BDC Quiddity Ingot|Green Ingot]]
 
'''Ithaenc:''' [[The Ithaenc Quiddity Seed|Initial Quest]] > [[Ithaenc Quiddity Ingot|Red Ingot]] > [[The Ithaenc Quiddity Seed Ingot Purification|Purification Quest]] > [[Purified Ithaenc Quiddity Ingot|Purple Ingot]]
 
'''Knorr:''' [[The Knorr Quiddity Seed|Initial Quest]] > [[Knorr Quiddity Ingot|White Ingot]] > [[The Knorr Quiddity Seed Ingot Purification|Purification Quest]] > [[Purified Knorr Quiddity Ingot|Yellow Ingot]]
 
=== East Gate Stone ===
'''Location:''' 64.1S, 62.9W
 
Give the East Gate Stone a purified ingot. Yellow and Green ingots are known to work. This flags you to enter the three portals which surround the stone, the dungeon called '''East Gate'''.
 
The dungeon is long and linear, filled with high level shadows and virindi. There are four doors which must be destroyed as you move through the dungeon. The first door is guarded by the [[Drudge Protector]]. The second is guarded by the [[Mosswart Protector]]. The third is guarded by the [[Tusker Protector]]. The fourth is guarded by a [[Shadow-touched Virindi Quiddiox]].
 
At the end is Aerbax's Device. Giving shadow droppings (specks, slivers, shards, and fragments) slowly disrupts the balance of the device.
 
<font color=green>As you bring the bit of shadow towards the device it seems to unravel in whirls of black dust that swirl towards the forks. You feel an unpleasant itching behind your eyes.<br>
The device hums in a slightly discordant manner.<br><br>
The Device hums, but you see the forks blur in discordant vibrations from time to time.<br><br>
The Device hums loudly. The forks appear to be vibrating out of sync almost all the time now.<br><br>
The Device hums and whines in rythmic waves. The loudly vibrating forks spark and rattle occasionally.<br><br>
The Device whines loudly. You can feel your teeth wiggle in time to the vibrations. The forks of the device glow in an eerie way.<br><br>
The Device whines and thrums. It is uncomfortable to be in the same room as the device now. Large discharges of red lightning occasionally strike the forks.<br><br>
The Device thrums ominously. Constant discharges of red lightning strike the forks now. The whole structure seems to vibrate with the thrumming.<br><br>
The structure thrums in time with the device. Red sparks coruscate across it wildly. Multi-hued fields wash the room. Waves of heat and sound punch you as you stand near the device.<br><br>
The device stills. It emits an almost inaudible thrum. Its protective field shimmers and fails.<br></font>
 
After enough has been given (approximately 100 fragments equivalent), Bonecrunch and Bragara, the Chosen One spawn. Killing Bragara, the Chosen One caused the device to reset to it's non-attackable version and Bonecrunch to vanish.
 
<font color=green>Bragara laughs uncertainly.<br>
<Player Name> has destroyed the Prodigal Mosswart!</font><br>
<font color=grey>Bragara, the Chosen One says, Of all the Mosswarts I was chosen to reign supreme. How is it an ordinary human could beat me? Are you a god?</font>
 
Killing the device causes the gate to fall and opens the North Gate.
 
<font color=green>The North Gate flickers to life and a bolt of energy pierces the sky.<br>
Aerbax's East Gate has been deactivated by <Player Name>!<br>
The Device explodes in a wave of energy!</font>
 
=== North Gate Stone ===
'''Location:''' 63.2S 63.8W
 
Once the East Gate falls, portals appear in the doorways and you are able to hand another purified ingot to the stone, which flags you for access. The North Gate dungeon is similar to the East Gate dungeon in layout and main spawns (shadows and virindi) but the doors are now guarded by, in order, Elenmental Protectors of [[Elemental Protector (Frost)|Frost]], [[Elemental Protector (Fire)|Fire]], [[Elemental Protector (Lightning)|Lightning]], and [[Elemental Protector (Acid)|Acid]]. At the end is another Aerbax Device. After handing aproximately 100-120 shadow fragments Mudmouth, Dark Bobo, and Paradox-touched Olthoi Queen spawn. Killing the device causes the gate to fall and opens the West Gate.

Once the West Gate falls this dungeon becomes accessible. It is entirely empty until the final room where you find the emmissary, several diamond guardian golems NPCs, and the portal to Aerbax's Citadel. The Emissary requests 3 crystals from three [[Virindi Artificer]]s that spawn at the other (west/east/north) gates. Once you turn in the 3 crystals your fellow is locked and you can proceed through the portal to Aerbax.

=== Aerbax's Citadel ===
The portal drops you on one of the platforms surrounding the citadel. Aerbax starts out in the center of the Citadel complex but as the fight progresses he will teleport to the outer edges of his floating facility (at every "1" of health i.e. 91%, 81%, 71% etc until 22% where he stays in the center). He does electric melee damage and has a nasty DoT effect that strips away health in increments of 20-40 hp as well as conventional spell attacks. Best way to fight him appear to be having everyone attacking with mages Tusker Fisting. Try to keep him in the center of the platform when he is around the edge of the citadel to limit the risk that he'll fall off. Occasionally he will teleport you so you drop into the center of the Obsidian Plains. When this happens immediately cast portal recall and you'll be back in the start of the Southern Gate dungeon. A couple minute run through an empty dungeon and you can use the portal to return to the fight.


When Aerbax dies a number of portals called "Return to the Emissary" spawn. So you can use them after you collect the reward item.
== Notes ==
* During [[The Risen Princess]] event the quest was updated and should now cycle through the armor rewards correctly.
* During the [[Risks and Rewards]] event, a [[Fortified Mana Forge Key]] was added as one of the rewards.
* During the [[Foolish Ambition]] event, a [[Empowered Girth of the Perfect Light]] was added as one of the rewards. Other bugs and fixes were also made such as timer estimates for fellows waiting to start as well as the ability to skip straight to the portal device at the end.
* As part for the [[Spring 2014]] update the mask shard can be brought to [[Summercrown]] to acquire the [[Luminous Amber of the 3rd Tier Paragon]].

Quest Overview

Walk Through

  1. Using the Dangerous Portal Device at your mansion, portal to the center of the Obsidian Plains.
  2. Collect 3 unique Harmonic Crystals by killing and looting them from the Virindi Artificer at each of the three gates surrounding the citadel. You only need one set of crystals per fellowship, and they are givable:
  3. When you have your crystals, your fellowship (max 9 people) will enter the South Gate portal (tieable & recallable) @ 65.0S 63.8W and run to the very bottom.
    • Note: Its a long run to the bottom, but its safe. Make sure you have everything you need for the quest before making the trip.
  4. Once your fellow is buffed and ready, the quest leader will hand the 3 Harmonic Crystals to the Emmisary of Asheron, which will lock the fellowship.
    • Note: Once the fellowship is locked, you have one hour to complete the quest.
  5. Everyone should now use the Harmonic Transference Field to be portaled on to citadel platform.
    • Note: If you die, disconnect, or are portaled off the platform (yes Aerbax can do that to you), simply portal recall to the South Gate and use one of the portals at the TOP of the dungeon to be sent back to the device room. Just like before, use the Harmonic Transference Field to be portaled back to the citadel platform and join your group.
  6. While fighting Aerbax's Shadow, he will portal several times to the platforms surrounding his citadel based on his HP %. Each time he portals he will start at 100% HP, but his total HP will be reduced.
    • 90% HP - Portals to EAST platform.
    • 77% HP - Portals to NORTH platform.
    • 72% HP - Portals to WEST platform.
    • 60% HP - Portals to SOUTH platform.
    • 33% HP - Portals to CENTER platform.
  7. Once Aerbax's Shadow is slain, loot an Aerbax Mask Shard from the ground and use the Emissary's Return Portal that appears to return to the Emmisary of Asheron, and speak with him for your reward. In addition to XP you also receive a piece of armor from the Empowered Armor of the Perfect Light set.

Note: Aerbax's Shadow is worth about 200 million xp when killed.
