# Collect 20 [[Blighted Mana Crystal]]s, these drop at 100% rate on the following creatures:
* All six Gatestones share the same timer.
#* [[Blighted Pyreal Golem]] - [[Aerlinthe Island]]
#* [[Blighted Sotiris Hollow Minion]] - [[A'mun Desert]]
#* [[Blighted Hoary Armoredillo]] - [[Traitor's Island]]
#* [[Blighted Oak Golem]] - [[Northern Osteth]]
#* [[Blighted Dire Ursuin]] - [[Linvak Mountains]]
#* [[Blighted Bane Grievver]] - [[Obsidian Plains]]
#* '''Tip:''' In terms of spawn density the best one to hunt is the Hoary Armoredillo north of Silyun. You can get 20 fairly quickly there by covering a fairly small area near the Node.
# Speak to one of the six Node Pyramid Gateways to be portaled to the Blight Lord's Lair.
#* If you have at least 20 blighted mana crystals, the Gatestone will prompt you to enter with a dialog box: (paraphrase) Loot the head of the Blight Lord and present it to the altar within.  While the rewards for completing the task are considerable, you will only be able to enter once per month.  Try not to die.
#*If you delay answering (about 10 seconds), the dialog box will disappear.
#*Once you agree to entry you will be portaled into a big cross shaped room with no visible exits and a selectable node altar at the drop point.
#*All six Gatestones share the same timer.
# Defeat the Blight Guardians
#*Three Blight Guardian sclavus will beat on you while a fourth uses missile attack.  They will occasionally use level 7 war spells on you, poison health, and drains.
# Defeat the Blight Lord
#*Defeating the Guardians spawns the node Blight Lord.  He will vuln you on top of the level 7 wars, so watch for the windup.  The melee damage seemed negligible with a shield.  I used armor rend bludgeon (mace) attack, which probably wasn't optimum, but did the job after imperil and bludgeon vuln (grenades).  I would suggest having a few dispell gems.
# Loot Blight Lord's head
#*Once he dies, do not hesitate to loot his head, and give it to the altar.  Two other guardians spawned as he died.  I would imagine they could spawn before he dies, which would make it considerably more difficult if you are vulned.
# Give Blight Lord's head to the node altar, get Mana Forge key, get portalled back to node and gateway.

Giving Head of Blight Lord to Altar Edit
