== Overview ==

== Walkthrough & Notes ==
# 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:
## {{Itemlink|North Gate Harmonic Crystal}} - 63.3S 63.7W
## {{Itemlink|East Gate Harmonic Crystal}} - 64.0S 62.9W
## {{Itemlink|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) at 65.0S 63.8W and run to the very bottom.
#* Note: If you have completed the quest at least once, speak to the Guardian at the [[South Gate]] drop for quick access to the [[Emissary of Asheron (Aerbax's Citadel)|Emmisary of Asheron]].
#* 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 needs to hand the 3 Harmonic Crystals to the [[Emissary of Asheron (Aerbax's Citadel)|Emmisary of Asheron]], which will lock the fellowship.
#* {{Warning}} 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 [[Aerbax's Citadel (POI)|Aerbax's Citadel]].
#* {{Tip}} 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, loot an [[Aerbax Mask Shard]] off the ground, and use the [[Emissary's Return Portal]] that appears to return to the [[Emissary of Asheron (Aerbax's Citadel)|Emmisary of Asheron]], and speak with him for your rewards.
# Turn the mask shard in to [[Leopold]] in [[Ayan Baqur]] for [[Aerbax's Defeat]] or save it for your [[Paragon Weapons]] quest.
