Walk Through

Part 1: Black Ferah's Vault

From the Obsidian Rim, run to Varetha at 44.4S 62.5W. Speak with it to be flagged for the first dungeon.
- Note: There is an Obisidan Rim portal at the Singularity Caul portal drop.
Run to Black Ferah's Vault at 39.1S 60.1W.
Follow the linear dungeon, until you reach a large room with Commander Jared Kurth, kill him and loot the key from his body.
- Tip: Kurth hits very hard, stay outside the room and have mages/archers attack him.
Use the key to open the door on the far side of the room, and follow the hallway until you reach a pedistal containing an Experimental Shadow Stone, take it.
Portal recall, run back to Varetha at 44.4S 62.5W, and hand it the Experimental Shadow Stone to be flagged for part 2.

Part 2: Mukkir Infested Black Spear Temple

Now head to the Valley of Death and find the Mukkir Infested Black Spear Temple at 37.2S 67.0W (access up the mountain is at 36.6S 66.9W).
- Tip: Its fastest if you can find a VoD Hot Drop portal.
From the portal drop, hug the wall right until you get to an L-shaped room with falling rocks.
Watch the rock fall sequence, and run through the L-shaped just as the closest rock falls, hugging the left wall as you run.
From here, hug the left wall all the way down to the bottom.

3. Return the Experimental Shadow Stone to Varetha at 44.4S 62.5W and then go to the dungeon Mukkir Infested Black Spear Temple at 37.2S 67.0W. It is in the center of a large circlular ridge just west of the portal drop for Mid-VoD or you can run there from the Obsidian Rim portal drop. One spot to climb up onto the ridge is at 36.6S 66.9W.

4. Near the start of the dungeon is an L shaped room with falling ice balls that are very damaging. Watch the pattern and run along the left wall shortly after you see the ice ball closest to the entrance fall. In the middle of the dungeon are many spawn traps on the floor, they can be avoided by sticking to the side wall or by jumping over them. Near the end you'll come to a large pit, first jump to the north platform (strong, straight normal jump), then jump to the lower south platform (same jump).

5. Once you have passed through the Grael's Chamber portal at the bottom of the dungeon you can use the portal at the start of the dungeon to quickly return if you should die. Healers and debuffers can safely remain at the jump if, they wish. Once Grael has died, loot the Shadow Chest Key and the Shard of the Black Spear and enter the Trophy Room portal. The Ancient Reliquary always includes a rare item.

6. Return the Black Spear to Varetha at 44.4S 62.5W for XP, a title token, and a house hook casting device, the Black Spear of Mukkir Strength. You can also return the house hook item to Varetha for up to 20 Million XP.

7. Give the Mukkir Aspect Slayer Title Token to Hoshar ibn Jalaq in Ayan Baqur to obtain the Greater Mukkir Slayer Stone.

Lore & Dialogue

Varetha tells you, "My Lord, Isin Dule, has sent me to aid you in the containing of the Mukkir Aspect of Grael. Though it will be a difficult thing to accomplish, this can be done. To do so, however, we will need to gather the proper tools."
Varetha tells you, "There is a Shadow Stone, created in Black Ferah's experiments, that should do nicely. I have managed to locate the stone, but so have Grael's followers. Gather this stone for me, and I should be able to modify it to hold Grael's Mukkir Aspect for a time. I will attune you to the defenses of the location..."
Varetha tells you, "You will find the stone at 39.1 S, 60.1 W. Go there and retrieve the stone. While you are gone, I will prepare what I need to modify it."

You give Varetha Experimental Shadow Stone.
Varetha tells you, "The "Great Experiment", the Shadow Stone Black Ferah worked so hard upon. This will do nicely."
