Walk Through

Level 70+ Section

1. Speak to Jyotsana at the Crystalline Crag drop.
2. Run to the beginning of the floating platforms that extend from the side of the Plateau at 15.8S, 61.9W.
3. Jump from platform to platform until you reach the hilltop where the 1st Crystal (Marker) resides. Double click the crystal to record it.
   • Warning: Only the parts of platforms that fade in and out are solid. The parts that never fade are ethereal and you will fall through them.
   • See the Bound Wisp Quest for jumping tips.
4. Keep going across the platforms and use the Bound Wisp for a free ride back to the Plateau, or jump down and use the Resonant Portal to get back to the Plateau.
5. From the drop run to the Crystalline Portal dungeon - it is at the opposite end of the Plateau at 17.0S, 61.2W.
6. The last 4 Crystal (Marker)s are in this dungeon. There are a ton of Wisps that will block your progress. High Magic Defense will help, as well as a Magic Absorbing item.
7. Run through the dungeon and keep going down. There are some pits you have to jump down on the way. You will find the Crystal markers throughout the dungeon.
   • 2: Center of top level
   • 3: Center of middle level
   • 4: Center of bottom level
   • 5: South side of 2nd level
8. Once you have used all 5 Crystal (Marker)s, you can return to Jyotsana for a reward.

Level 90+ Section

1. At the bottom of the 70+ dungeon is a pit with the 5th Marker Crystal where there's another Crystalline Portal that is restricted to levels 90+. There are five more Marker Crystals in this dungeon (6th to 10th).
2. Run through the dungeon and use each of the 5 crystals (see map below for clarification):
   • 6: As you start running down the hallways, the first big room on your left has the first Marker on the ledge to your left on the top level.
   • 7: Keep heading down until you reach a second, smaller room with 4 exits. Take the south exit and follow the hallway to the east to a large room. At the end of the large 'U' shape is the Marker.
   • 8: Head back to the small room with 4 exits. Take the east one and take your first available left turn. In the large room you get to, jump down one level to the west, then one level to the south, then jump to the northwest to reach the platform with the Marker.
   • 9: Jump back to the platform to the southeast, then jump down to the east. The Marker is just northwest.
   • 10: Continue through the dungeon to the end. Next to the portal to the next dungeon will be the final Marker.
3. Once you have used all 5 Crystal (Marker)s, you can return to Jyotsana for a reward.

Level 110+ Section

1. At the bottom of the 90+ dungeon is a pit with the 10th Marker Crystal where there's another Crystalline Portal that is restricted to levels 110+. There are five more Marker Crystals in this dungeon (11th to 15th).
2. You can find the markers easiest in the order of their numbers. The dungeon can be confusing so use the map to get a better idea of layout but these directions will get you through.
   • 11: Exit Northwest from the drop room. Stay right till you go up a ramp. Once at the top of the ramp stay left till you reach the marker.
   • 12:From 11 jump back into the drop room. Exit through the south passage in the Southwest corner of the room. Stick to your left and you will go up a ramp then down back into the lava. Take the first left and then stay to your right until you reach the marker.
   • 13: From 12 stick to your right. You will come to a point where you will go down into the lava tubes then very quickly back up. After that happens you will see a loop in the hallway. After you pass the loop you must start going left. Take the second passage you see on your left and follow it to the marker.
   • 14: From 13 take the first passage on your right. The keep to your left until you reach a large open area. Once in the open area stick to your right until you come to the marker.
   • 15: From 14 stick to your right until you come to a large room that appears to be a dead end. There in a ramp in the middle of the floor concealed by the lava. You have to feel it out. Go down until you find the marker.
3. Once you have used all 5 Crystal (Marker)s, you can return to Jyotsana for a reward.

Notes

• The markers have specific numbers assigned to them. So if you happen to enter the dungeon and use the 5th Marker first it will say you've found the 5th marker even if its the first one you found. This makes it hard to remember how many you have left.
