Defend the drones as they repair the mirrors.: x/3 Lure Lazarus to the nexus of mirrors. Defeat and unmask Lazarus. Repel Balthazar's Mercenaries Check on Marjory. Talk to Taimi.
After listening to Taimi's dialogue, travel to the Magustan Court Waypoint in Rata Sum and enter the instance through the green star at the northern asura gates. Once through the gate, you will end up at Rata Novus where Kasmeer will meet you. Walk with her until you reach the main lab where several dragon minion experiments have escaped. Defeat the five of them and talk to Taimi who's standing in front of her Omadd's machine. Once Phlunt intrudes, talk to him and choose any of the dialogue options. Regardless of your choice, Phlunt leaves the scene; shortly after, a distressed Marjory will approach you, warning you that Lazarus will be arriving shortly. In order to break Lazarus's illusion, you have to collect and mount three Holorecorder Mirrors around the room — you may only carry one mirror at a time. You will need to use gliding and jump off the stairway platforms to reach two of the mirrors. The locations of the mirrors and the stands are marked on the minimap. Once all three have been collected, open the secret Dragon Lab door via the Rata Novus Terminal controls. To successfully open them choose /access, /continue, /continue, and then "Aurene". If done in correct order, the large dragon door will open, and Lazarus will suddenly appear. The previously set mirrors will harm Lazarus, but only for a short while — you will have to defend the Repair Drone as it repairs each of the three mirrors — Lazarus will attack you with several illusions as well as his hired mercenaries. The Repair Drone has very low health, so you'll have to defeat nearby enemies for it to survive long enough to complete its task; use crowd control skills on his mercenaries and illusions to keep them from hurting the golem. Additionally, you may use the consoles in front of each of the dragon minion experiments to open them up and have them help in the fight and also the console at the bottom of ramp leading to Taimi's experiment to active Phlunt's golems (the password is 'Password'). After all three mirrors have been fixed, walk near the machine to lure Lazarus back into the mirror beams, but avoid standing in the beams yourself. The mirror beams will remove Lazarus's protective shield, allowing you to damage him. He begins using more powerful abilities that deal high amounts of damage, including an especially powerful Ring of Fire that deals devastating damage even when standing inside the ring. However, you only have to bring Lazarus from 75% to 25% of his health. Turning invulnerable, Lazarus will destroy the machine, revealing his true identity. He will disappear, while dozens of his mercenaries will come down the staircase from the asura gate. You must defeat almost all of them to continue, but they have low health and Councillor Phlunt and Peacemaker Officers will help you in the fight. After disposing of them, approach Marjory and Kasmeer, and then talk to Taimi. After a short dialogue, the story will conclude.
Rata Novus is accessed via Rata Sum for the purposes of this mission. Standing inside the confinement area will kick out the character from the force field once it gets activated. Once the dragon minions have all been subdued, they are lured back into the confinement areas with "holographic bait" in the form of a pig. Balthazar's mercenaries are considered pirates. de:Taimis Lieblingsprojekt es:El proyecto personal de Taimi fr:Projet de familiers de Taimi
