Getting to the instance entrance point in the Tangled Depths map is made very difficult because your minimap does not show the same paths that the main map shows. You will need to constantly switch between the main map and your minimap to follow the tunnel trails. Even the main map will not make it clear how the tunnels change elevation or how they connect. If you have a raptor you can run past the mobs in the open world tunnels but, the instance entrance itself has a Veteran Thrasher nearby along with a group of additional mobs nearby. Do not attempt to kill the mobs, more will spawn and unkillable swarms will continue to multiply until you are overwhelmed. A Veteran Modrem troll further in the chamber will also aggro once combat starts. You can try to sneak to the Instance green star or you can run to it aggroing the mobs. You will still be able enter the Instance and escape any mobs even if you are in the middle of combat. Once you make it to the instance entrance, follow the trail, chatting with the characters as you move through the tunnels. After being made to fight some spiders and mushrooms, you will reach a three-way intersection. If you head to the left, you must pass through the dark. There will be points of green light to direct you forward. Choosing the middle path requires jumping from branch/ledge to branch/ledge, some jumps requiring the use of the glider. If you go right, you meet mushrooms, veteran trolls and a troll cave with traps on the floor. All paths eventually end in the same destination to fight the Chak Blitzer. The Chak Blitzer is fairly easy, just don't use ranged attacks on it when it's shielded and kill the Chak Lurkers that spawn or they'll overwhelm you. It is highly unlikely you will be able to kill the Lurkers at the rate they spawn so an alternate strategy is to focus on the Blitzer and kill it as fast as possible to stop Lurkers from spawning then kite the remaining Lurkers back to the tunnel, picking them off one by one. Once that's done, meet back up with your friends. When you leave the mission instance, you may be attacked by the mobs in the open world chamber because you are returned to a slightly different location from the original green star instance entrance. Alternatively, another option would be to use the PvP lobby to exit this mission at the end.
