Meet up with the group.
First instance Enter Sun's Refuge (by entering the Story Instance at the green star, not by walking through the map portals), approach the NPCs and trigger the dialogue. Help Rytlock to relight the sword with the special action skill when the time comes. Second instance Mount up and run to the area just beyond the archway. Kill the waves of Branded - Balthazar's Sword will help fight foes in range, and avoid Branded Crystals which inflict on impact. When the Branded are defeated, pick up the sword and plant it in the ground to allow Blish to repair the tracker. This time the sword goes aggressive to everything, including you. Jump over any shockwaves generated and avoid the AoE fields whilst fighting further Branded. Glint will eventually urge you to leave, at which point try to get out of combat as you follow the arrow. With Kralkatorrik now approaching, mount up on a Raptor (useful combination of ability to jump over debris/canyons and move reasonably fast). Follow the aspect of Glint through the ruins, using orbs of volatile magic to recharge your endurance. If you stray too far to the sides of the instance which is very easy to do with the Raptor jump — if you jump too far to the sides you can easily hit the edges of the instance and be dismounted and teleported more toward the center of the instance. There are two points where the path seems to run out and you are pushed backwards by strong winds — keep going when the next section loads. In the next section you will jump over normal platforms at first, but then you will be placed into a disorienting area with low-gravity effects similar to those encountered in the Shattered Observatory. The low gravity makes this a tedious and difficult jumping puzzle because your momentum and speed are completely changed from anything normal. Unlike every other part of the mission there are no map markers to indicate the direction you must take, fortunately visually tracking the floating islands is clear. You must hit every one of the floating islands or else you will lack momentum to make the next and die. The lack of a real background makes perspective and judging distances and especially your height even more difficult. Your speed and angle through the air is effected by pressing the jump button and the direction of you camera. Hold down space as much as possible to maintain your speed but it is very possible to overshoot platforms. To land on a platform if it looks like you will overshoot, turn your camera down and stop pressing jump. If you are low enough over a platform you can gauge your position by the shadow of your Raptor, this is the only orientation possible in the are without any other points of reference for height. On top of everything, this is a timed jumping puzzle with the insta-kill storm rapidly moving in, if it reaches you, you will die. You cannot pause for a moment to re-orient but must keep moving every second. If you die (which can happen multiple times as with any timed jumping puzzle) you will be sent back to the beginning, as there are no checkpoints in this section. Note: In spite of the mission explicitly telling you to use the Raptor, you can switch mounts so if you have unlocked the Griffon, use it instead of the Raptor! Don't bother touching any of the platforms with the Griffon, otherwise you will slow down. Once you get far enough, Glint will open a rift and you can finally leave. Third instance Enter the final instance and speak to your allies. After a lot of dialogue the mission will complete.
