How the run goes

A climb through undead-infested quilboar halls to Amnennar the Coldbringer. The gong at the start summons Tuten'kash, Belnistrasz's ritual is an optional defence event, and the spiral path up past Mordresh and Glutton is packed with undead.

Group: A tank, a healer and three damage dealers around level 40. Disease removal helps a lot, and area damage clears the dense undead on the spiral.

Map and route

100%

East through the tunnels to Mordresh Fire Eye at the Bone Pile, back past the Caller's Chamber to Glutton, then up the Spiral of Thorns, past Ragglesnout if he's up, to Amnennar the Coldbringer at the top.

  1. 1.The gong and Belnistrasz

    From the entrance through the first halls to the gong: ring it three times for two waves of spiders and then Tuten'kash. Belnistrasz waits nearby; his ritual is optional and means defending him from waves.

  2. 2.The spiral

    East to the Bone Pile, where Mordresh Fire Eye stands among his skeleton audience, back through the halls where Glutton feeds, then up the long spiral path. Ragglesnout and Lady Falther'ess are rare spawns along the way.

Before you go

  • Bring disease removal and prepare for tightly packed undead groups on the spiral.
  • Start Belnistrasz's escort only after clearing its route; the ritual is a sustained defense rather than a single pull.
  • No key or attunement. Ringing the gong advances the Tuten'kash event.
