Tips and directions to survive the Jahannan Vault and obtain the Major Atlan Fire Stone
Update Note: they have significantly lowered the difficulty of this dungeon as of November '00 ... the directions still mostly apply, but it can almost be soloed by a mage and melee around 45+
Tips:
-bring fire protection and frost weapons
-LS at the Crater
-bring death items, as corpses are tough to retrieve
-lag is bad inside, so set all video settings at the lowest/fastest possible (killing everything helps lag)
-move slowly and stick together inside ... u miss a jump and can't get back up? you're done - recall out and try again another day
-best way to avoid deaths is to have life mages drain everything below which the melee guys heal them (use health to mana to save time)
-make sure everything below is clear, so if you miss a jump, you can get back up
-most all jumps are simple taps - some people use full power shift-jumps - i just used taps for all but 2 jumps (jump of 200)
-ideal group is people over level 30, with a few life mages - level 51 guy was fine running around on his own
Directions:
-Send the top-level guys in first to clear the immediate portal area (zefirs and mountain rats)
-head downwards to the first opening (has a bunch of platforms in front of you), drain everything below
-jump down and take stairs down, go in the passageway
-take a left, another left (turns are always left in here), and down to the opening
-drain everything below (in case you fall)
-jump across to the platform directly into the chain so that you don't overjump, turn right, walk to the end, turn left, jump into the opening (bit more than a tap
-kill the zefirs and flammas in the way and head upwards to the next opening
-tap to the platform in front of you, turn right, bit more than a tap into the opening
-around and up to the next opening (see a trend here?), tap to the platform in front, turn left, tap to the next platform, tap to the opening in front
-up ahead is your first inferno so be ready
-head upwards, kill the baddies, take a left (if there is one), and goto the top of the spiral staircases
-once you reach another opening, drain the baddies below
-jump all the way to the walkway in front of you (1/2 to 3/4 jump) if you fall, there's a small opening to the right with rats and zefirs, take that up and you'll be on the 1st walkway eventually
-tap to the next walkway and take a left, you're almost there
-another inferno is ahead
-kill then get to big drop, full jump into a corner to avoid the stupid surface portal in the middle of the room, DON'T HIT IT
-wait there and have someone draw all the baddies in the next room into the pit below, thus allowing you to stand in the stone room and wait for respawns w/o worrying about the inferno and numerous flares that were there (they're stuck below)
-stone is in front of the alter and spawns every 15 minutes
-be careful not to stand on the fire, as for some reason, one of our party got randomly FLOWN into the pit below, where he was summarily slaughtered (which really sucked...)
-CONGRATS! you now have the major fire stone...
