The Hall of the Three Wardens
Climb the Long Stair and beat Thane Orrek at the High Gate. Behind it is the Hall of Seals, with three wings. Take them in any order, and each warden you beat leaves a blessing on the party. When all three seals are broken, a tear opens over the dais in the Hall of Seals. Walk through it and finish what the Wardens started.

01 · Before you enter
Prepare your party
On a run-back tier nobody runs out of lives: if you fall, you come back at the last fire you lit, and if the whole party falls the fight resets. On tiers with shared lives, each death spends one. You keep your gear either way.
- Each warden leaves a Favour on the whole party until the run ends. Ember adds damage, Frost adds speed, and Stone turns blows aside.
- The wings are long. Light the fire in the Hall of Seals and the one in each court as you pass, because that's where you run back from.
- Thane Orrek's horn calls a gale off the plaza. Stand behind one of the standing stones when the wind rises.
- The Ash Court's crate has a bow and arrows, and the four braziers need arrows within thirty seconds.
- Watch the frost on the pillars in the Rime Stacks. It flashes the chime order, and a wrong chime starts it over.
- Throw anything onto the Court of Kings' plates. One item each keeps them down.
- Thundercallers, Ember Wardens and anything casting Void Bolt can be stopped mid-cast with a charged hit.

Follow the route
The High Gate
BossThane Orrek throws a blade along a red line and it comes back the same way. Below two-thirds his horn brings a gale across the plaza, so hide behind the standing stones. Below a third, lightning arcs between anyone standing close.
The Ash Court
PassageThe Keepers of the Flame fight together. Kill them within twelve seconds of each other or the survivor brings the other back. Then light the four braziers with arrows.
The Ember Throne
BossThe Ember Warden takes up the powers of whichever brazier it stands by. The Rite of Ash is fire pools and arcing bolts, the Rite of Flame is meteors and a pulse that throws you back. Move it to the one you'd rather face. Below half, fire falls and runs along the floor.
The Rime Stacks
2 wavesFrostmarked, stalkers and hounds, while you ring four chimes in the order the frost shows you.
The Frost Throne
BossThe Frost Warden shares its cold among everyone in the ring, so stand in it together. At 60% it goes to ground and sends out its hounds. It comes back hunting one player at a time, leaving ice behind it.
The Court of Kings
3 wavesFour kings, one at a time, and each one takes up the strength of the last. The final two rise together. Then weigh down the three plates.
The Stone Throne
BossThe Stone Warden slams, leaps and winds up a heavy blow. Below two-thirds it throws down its Aegis, and everyone has to stand inside the ring around it before the sky falls.
The Unwritten
BossOriveth, the Unwritten Warden. Light the fire on the rock before you cross. See the boss briefing.
03 · Spoils
What the bosses leave
Every boss leaves a chest where it falls. Each of you opens it for a private share, rolled for you alone: materials, often a piece of the dungeon's gear, and a chance at something of that boss's own. The list below runs from the likeliest piece to the rarest.
