Editing Apostate Finale (section)

== Walkthrough & Notes ==
# After speaking with the [[Emissary of Asheron (Gear Knight Camp)|Emissary of Asheron]], head due north to a burrow entrance to the [[Gear Hunter Dungeon]] at 7.2S, 75.0W. 
## From entrance stick left until you come to a room with hallways leading down to the north and south.
## Go north and down, at the next intersection go east (left). Soon after you'll come to a 4 way intersection, go north (left).
## Stick left until you come to a six-sided room with a 150+ req [[Mysterious Portal]] and go inside. 
# In this dungeon is the first of three shards you need. See map for the location of the [[Apostate Nexus Master (Level 220)|Apostate Nexus Master]] that drops nine {{Itemlink|Sparkling Apostate Shard}}s. Or follow the directions below for each intersection after the drop.
## Straight (West)
## Left (West)
## Straight (North)
## Straight (East)
# Once each person has a [[Sparkling Apostate Shard]] exit the dungeon.
#* {{Optional}} If you return to the Emissary and show him your shard.  He will direct you to proceed you to the next section. To speed along simply go to the next step. The shard lasts 60 minutes so if you lose your shard for some reason you will need to get another one to continue.
# Run to the [[Direlands Gear Knight Dungeon]] at 10.4S 75.2W (southmost of the three burrows around the Resonator device). Go straight at the intersections go straight, left, and finally turn right.  You will find a Virindi mask attached to the wall of the right column.  Use the shard and a portal will open, everyone go in.
# Once inside the [[Apostate Nexus (Scintillating)]], either stick left or stick right and you'll soon come to a large room with mana fountains at the bottom/end. Next to it will be another [[Apostate Nexus Master (Level 220)|Apostate Nexus Master]] that drops 9 {{Itemlink|Scintillating Apostate Shard}}s.
# When everyone has a shard exit the dungeon. Return to the [[Direlands Gear Knight Dungeon]] at 10.4S 75.2W. Straight at the first intersection, Right at the T, Straight (SW) past the next intersection, Left at the first 4-way and Right at the next [[Iron Blade Warmaster]]. Use the most recent shard in this room to open a portal to the [[Apostate Nexus (Shimmering)]]. Go North as far as you can in this dungeon and that path will take you to the Apostate Nexus Master that drops a [[Shimmering Apostate Shard]]. 
# When everyone has a shard exit the dungeon. Return to the [[Direlands Gear Knight Dungeon]] at 10.4S 75.2W and go  straight at the first intersection, Right at the T, Straight (SW) past the next intersection, Left at the first 4-way until you come to the Virindi Mask on the wall by the shortcut portal next to the tunnel that leads down to the room with the [[Iron Blade Warmaster]]. Use the most recent shard in this room to open a portal to the [[Heart of the Apostate Nexi]]. '''See the Notes below for the shortcut on subsequent runs.'''
# Once inside, stick left until you come to a large room, continue sticking left and take the hallway leading east out of the large room. You'll have to fight an [[Iron Blade Door Guardian]] to open the door. Continue sticking left until you come to a jump. At the bottom of the jump is the final boss, the [[Apostate Grand Director]]. 
# When you have defeated him, loot one of the 9 {{Itemlink|Shard of the Apostate Grand Director's Broken Mask}}. Kill again if more shards are needed.
# Once everyone has a shard, head back to the camp and give the shard to the Emissary to receive your rewards.

Notes
* The boss frequently doesn't drop a corpse on death. He respawns in five minutes, it seems to work best if you surround his spawn spot (the pillar of energy in the middle of the room) and don't let him move from his spawn spot. He also sometimes disappears before he dies (again wait for respawn).
* Once you complete the quest (turn in the mask shard) you lose your flag to enter the [[Mysterious Portal]] so you won't be able to help anyone with the quest.
* The {{Itemlink|Large Tome}} for the Strathelar Royal Cloak Quest is found in the only dungeon that has checkerboard tile floors. When you enter there is a ramp in front of you going down. At the bottom of the ramp are two rooms, one to the left, and one to the right. The Large Tome is in the room on the right in the far left corner on the floor.
* Once you complete the quest for the first time, you are flagged to use the [[Shortcut to Heart of the Apostate Nexi]] portal. On subsequent runs, you can skip directly to Step 7. This is Sundering-specific content.
