==== Trial #2: Rolling Balls of Death ====
# Take a moment to identify the pattern, and when ready, move through the dungeon, only stopping at the safe spots (alcove corners) until you reach the last alcove.
#* '''Note:''' The only safe spots to stand inside this dungeon are on the 45 degree angles that are the corners of the alcoves.
# Once you get to the last safe spot before the long hallway, you'll see a door.  Use missile weapons to destroy the door and then run into the room on the far side.
# After the door has been destroyed, carefully make your way to the end of the room and loot an orange [[Seal Fragment]] from the Chest on the South wall, and then use the [[Proving Grounds Extreme]] portal on the North wall.
 
==== Trial #3: Floor Puzzle ====
The floor puzzle contains a series of tiles that contain a hidden path to the other side. If you step on a wrong tile you'll fall through and be forced to start over.
 
# Navigate your way through the Floor Puzzle:
## From the left side of the room, walk on to the ''Fire'' tile to start.
## Move North 3 spaces to the 3rd ''Frost'' tile.
## Move East 4 spaces to ''Fire tile.
## Move North 1 space to the ''Frost'' tile.
## Move East 2 spaces to the ''Acid'' tile.
## Move North 2 spaces to the ''Frost'' tile.
## Move West 1 space to the ''Acid'' tile.
## Move North and exit the puzzle.
# Enter the room to the North and loot a green [[Seal Fragment]] from the Chest on the East wall, and then use the [[Proving Grounds Extreme]] portal on the Northwest corner.
 
==== Trial #4: Reverence of the Ceremony ====
The key to this riddle is ''NOT TO TALK'' in open chat. If you do, you'll have to start over and fight your way through a series of golems.
*:<font color="green">Reverence must be shown during a ceremony.</font>
# Without speaking, run through the linear dungeon and loot a purple [[Seal Fragment]] from the chest at the end of the hall, then use the [[Citadel Valley]] portal to complete the Trials.
 
=== Part 4: Gaerlan's Library ===
# Combine the the blue and orange [[Seal Fragment]]s to create a [[Combined Seal Fragment]].
#* [[Image:Seal Fragment (Blue) Icon.png]] + [[Image:Seal Fragment (Orange) Icon.png]] = [[Image:Combined Seal Fragment (Blue-Orange) Icon.png]]
# Combine the green and purple [[Seal Fragment]]s to create another [[Combined Seal Fragment]].
#* [[Image:Seal Fragment (Green) Icon.png]] + [[Image:Seal Fragment (Purple) Icon.png]] = [[Image:Combined Seal Fragment (Green-Purple) Icon.png]]
# Combine the 2 [[Combined Seal Fragment]]s to create an [[Ornate Seal]].
#* [[Image:Combined Seal Fragment (Blue-Orange) Icon.png]] + [[Image:Combined Seal Fragment (Green-Purple) Icon.png]] = [[Image:Ornate Seal Icon.png]]
#: <font color="green">The larger fragments fit together to create an Ornate Seal.</font>
# Return to [[Asheron's Platinum Golem]] at 57.8N, 48.4E and hand him your [[Ornate Seal]] to receive an [[Imbued Ornate Seal]] and a [[Citadel Portal Gem]].
# Use the [[Citadel Portal Gem]] to be portaled to the ''Citadel Surface''.
# Hand your [[Imbued Ornate Seal]] to the [[Ornate Pillar]] at 57.6N, 48.0E to be portaled to ''Gaerlan's Library''
# From the drop, use the East facing staircase just to your front left and take it all the way to the platform at the top of the dungeon.
# At the top, take the [[Electric Destruction]] portal to be portaled to final part of the quest.
 
=== Part 5: Gaerlan ===
# From the drop, follow the linear dungeon until you reach a catwalk, from which you can see [[Gaerlan]] himself in the room below.
# Fully debuff and fester [[Gaerlan]], and then kill him with Pierce or Slash weapons.
#* '''Tip:''' A common strategy is have melee players form a ''melee wall'' on the catwalk, and then drag him up to the catwalk.  This way mages and archers can attack from a safe distance.
# Once Gaerlan is dead and vanishes, quickly take the Portal that spawns in the room under the catwalk.
# From the drop head up the ramp and hug the wall right.  Follow the ramp around until you jump down into a room with [[Gaerlan's Phylacteric Prison]].
# Use the [[Gaerlan's Phylacteric Prison]] to receive an [[Elemental Master Robe]], [[Iasparailaun]], and an additional unique reward ''(see below)''.
#* '''Note:''' The unique rewards distributed based on what skills you have specialized.
# '''<font color="green">[OPTIONAL]</font>''' Take the [[Citadel Apex]] portal on the South wall and loot [[Martine's Mask]] and [[Martine's Robe]].
# '''<font color="green">[OPTIONAL]</font>''' Turn in your [[Iasparailaun]] to an [[Agent of the Arcanum]] for 2 [[MM]] notes, XP, and a [[Gaerlan Token]], which can be handed back for the title of ''Gaerlan Slayer''.
