Quest Overview
Walk Through
- Using the Dangerous Portal Device at your mansion, portal to the center of the Obsidian Plains.
- Alternatively, you can make a short from from the nearby Black Spawn Den, or tie to the Singularity Bore @ 64.1S, 63.8W.
- 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:
- North Gate Harmonic Crystal - 63.3S 63.7W
- East Gate Harmonic Crystal - 64.0S 62.9W
- West Gate Harmonic Crystal - 64.1S 64.7W
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Once Aerbax's Shadow is slain, 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, the first four times you complete the quest you also receive a piece of armor from the Empowered Armor of the Perfect Light set.
- 1st Run: Empowered Helm of the Perfect Light
- 2nd Run: Empowered Girth of the Perfect Light
- 3rd Run: Empowered Greaves of the Perfect Light
- 4th Run: Empowered Tassets of the Perfect Light
- Warning: After completing the quest 4 times, you will only receive XP and your key from here on out. If you lose a piece of armor for whatever reason it cannot be replaced.
Note: Aerbax's Shadow is worth about 200 million xp when killed.

Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Good, you made it."
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "I have been sent here by Lord Asheron to help you stop Aerbax."
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "I have been unable to destroy this device. Aerbax realized what you were doing and protected his last device somehow."
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "However, I have studied the device and believe there is a way to use it's resonant magic field."
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Scouts report that Aerbax's forces are even now attempting to repair the other devices you destroyed. Return to the other Gates and bring me back the crystals they are using to repair the devices. Once I have all three crystals I believe I can send a fellowship of you through to the platforms above."
Turning in Harmonic Crystals:
You give Emissary of Asheron West Gate Harmonic Crystal.
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "You haven't brought me the East Gate Harmonic Crystal yet."
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "You haven't brought me the North Gate Harmonic Crystal yet."

Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Excellent! You have brought me all three Harmonic Crystals."
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Have you prepared a fellowship friend?"
[Fellowship] Emissary of Asheron says, "Good, I am attuning your fellowship to the resonant magic field surrounding the device. Be warned, this spell will only allow you access to Aerbax's platforms for one hour before it fails and Aerbax expels you."
[Fellowship] Emissary of Asheron says, "Please return to me if you succeed in defeating Aerbax and I will reward you."
Your fellowship is now locked. You may not recruit new members. If you leave the fellowship, you have 15 minutes to be recruited back into the fellowship.
Aerbax's Shadow tells you, "I am Aerbax. I am afraid that I must end some of you in a moment. Take comfort in the knowledge that you have facilitated a great awakening of all sentient races on Dereth."

We must stay vigilant for he will continue to gain power as long as he holds the platforms. Return in 29 days to defeat Aerbax's Shadow again and I will reward you further."
You've earned 400,000,000 experience.
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "I see you have completed the Perfect Light Armor Set. I am impressed human."
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.
