Mission 22: Ring of Fire
- Before following your instinct and running ahead to help Brechnar Ironhammer defeat his pursuing foes, stay still for a moment. He is helping you by drawing the massive group of Mursaat away from you - he is supposed to die. After the Mursaat clear out head north, hugging the right wall. Stop just before the path turns northwest and notice the group of Jade Armors sneaking up behind you. Defeat them, along with the Jade Bows that may also wander into your agro bubble. Head north and eventually you will spot a Mursaat Tower along with a few Jade Bows around it. The Mursaat towers are bad news for casters, so have your warriors unleash their fully charged adrenal skills on the Ether Seal to disable them. Proceed north, northwest and kill all of the Ettins along the way. You will come to a fork in the road at which you should head right, in other words continue heading north. A few dead Ettins later you will spot the Ancient Seer. Speak with her and she will give you the bonus objective. Backtrack until you come to the fork in the road and head west through the lava pit. While walking through the lava you are set on fire and crippled so cross it as quickly as possible and don't engage any enemies until you are safely across. Defeat the Mursaat, and the Mursaat tower they are guarding once you cross the lava pit, then continue along the path. A cinematic will be triggered once you make your way down the hill to the west. Proceed downhill clearing any foes along the way until you come to the Mursaat Fortress.
- Instead of taking the way around the back of the Mursaat fortress, I am going to take the direct approach through the main gate. As you probably already noticed the enterance is guarded by two Mursaat Towers along with a few groups of Mursaat patrolling the area. You should have a ranger or warrior pull out the groups of Mursaat from out of the Mursaat Tower's range. You should have no problems eliminating them once you do so. After killing the Mursaat, disable the towers by breaking the Ether Seals on each one. Destroy the 2 Ether Seals holding closed the door to the fortress and as before, have a ranger or warrior pull the enemies inside. Defeat them once they are outside of the towers' range and head inside. Immediatedly direct your attention at one of the Ether Seals and destroy it to disable one of the towers, which will give you that side as a safe haven. When you are all healed up disable the other tower. After doing so, the Eidolon will spawn - you must kill it in order to complete the bonus.
- Proceed west and kill the Mursaat patrols on top of the stairs. Now head back and destroy the ether seal to the south, which will open the door. Eliminate the boss inside and activate the switch on the ground. Head back out, go up the stairs and proceed south. You will encounter a few more groups of Mursaat along the way here before you reach the Mursaat Guardhouse. Proceed inside and eliminate the rest of the Mursaat to trigger a cinematic and complete the mission.
