At the start of the instance, you can immediately run across the bridge or fight as you go. You will need to defeat several waves of Awakened before triggering a cutscene. Afterward, simply follow Braham and the path until you reach the torture chamber. To exit the torture chamber, interact with the signet ring. Interacting with the ring object provides the special action skill . Using the skill reveals it to be and applies the effect which temporarily dispels Joko's illusions. While King's Sight is active, circles on the wall with a whip pattern will glow. Interact with the circle to turn it. Once the pattern is whole again (the pattern on the outer ring matches with the pattern on the inner ring to make a whole symbol), you can continue. These circles will appear again throughout the story instance to turn off traps so that Braham can follow you. The following hallway has fire tiles on the floor that catch fire consistently and repeatedly. Make sure not to spend too long on any of the empty tiles, as they will also catch fire if you stand on them for too long (shown on the floor as an expanding red square within the tile). There are some tiles with sparks, indicating that the trap tile is "not working" and are safe to stand on. The wall circle stone is at the end of the hallway. This one takes multiple turns to match the pattern. Completing the pattern on all of the necessary circles results in the traps being turned off, so Braham will appear in the next room with you after a moment. After talking with Joko in the next room, make sure you activate the signet ring again. There are lasers to pass by, which are only visible with King's Sight. In order to pass through the walls of lasers, make sure to only move through the ones that are dim (which changes every couple of seconds, so move quickly through each laser set). There are three wall circles in the hallway; be sure to interact with all of them in order to disable the traps. After the next talk with Joko (+ fight), the following hallway has both lasers and fire floor tiles. These both function exactly as the previous two did, but the combination means that you need to be able to move quickly through the whole hallway. Don't forget the multiple wall circles. In the Contaminarium, there is a central wall with a symbol on it. There are 4 circles set within the symbol, which are connected with lasers to 4 pillars in front of them (lasers only visible via King's Sight. The circles must be turned to complete the symbol by interacting with the small pillars that correspond to each circle. Ignore Braham's musings on what looks right; the view without King's Sight is not correct. The fight in the Contaminarium with Beastmarshal Oluwa Eranko can be tricky. Make sure to keep King's Sight active in order to see the lasers on the ground. When the message "The beastmarshal howls for her brood." appears, she summons three small Abominable Whelps to help her. To break her out of her howling, you can hit her with a bone to instantly break her defiance bar. She teleports between the four corners of the room on the fire floor tiles; be sure to not stand on those when you engage her, when possible. The final fight with Palawa Joko can take a while. The metal flooring in the middle of the room is fire tiles which activate after a second or two, shown by the expanding red square in each tile. When Joko disappears (95%, 80% health) use the signet ring to see Will of Joko(s), which can only be seen and attacked when using King's Sight. They will explode on death, but also die instantly if broken. A bone from around the room can be used to kill each one instantly. After each Will of Joko phase, another Royal Guard will be summoned, and all the previous ones resurrected with low health, indicated by the text "Joko Awakens the fallen." After the second Will of Joko phase, Bloated Plague Scarabs will begin to spawn. These creatures will follow you until they get into melee range, at which point they will explode. At 50%, during the third Will of Joko phase, a message saying "The plague scarabs coalesce." appears, which means that a huge purple wall of plague will begin to make its way across the room, from the opening towards the windows. In order to survive the wall, make sure you have King's Sight active in order to see a gap in the wall to pass through safely. During the next phase of the battle with Joko, he uses large AoE rings that extend out from him and the effect, draining life from you. After another Will of Joko phase and another Joko phase down to 10% health, he teleports to the front of the fire floor tiles and speaks briefly. Once he is whittled down to 0% health, he will teleport near the windows again to play dead, while the player has the effect. After you check the body, the ending plays. The order of phases for the final battle and what appears in them is as follows: Palawa Joko 100% -> 95% heath Will of Joko (1) Palawa Joko 95% -> 80% + Royal Guard (1) Will of Joko (2) Palawa Joko 80% -> 50% + Royal Guard (1) + Plague Scarabs Will of Joko (3) + wall Palawa Joko 50% -> 25% + Royal Guard (2) + Plague Scarabs Will of Joko (4) + wall Palawa Joko 25% -> 10% + Royal Guard (4) + Plague Scarabs Palawa Joko 10% -> 0%
There are exactly 50 Awakened between the start and the gate, most of which are very weak, making this instance the fastest way to farm progress for achievements that require defeating large numbers of Awakened. An Estate Throne can be found in the torture chamber.
