The Entrance
The entrance to Fall of Lantern Hook is at the bottom of a large well! The well is found in the basement area of Lantern Hook.
From the Lantern Hook Portal, drop down the hill and enter the tunnel at /setwaypoint 7601 6178 to get to the well inside at /setwaypoint 7656 6282
Trash and Quests
When you first enter Fall of Lantern Hook, you will be inside a well with some trash mobs surrounding it. The dungeon quest ‘Hope Still Burns’ will be added to your quest sticky, this is blue in colour to indicate it is part of the dungeon.
Your first objective is to ‘Release the Prisoners x2’
West of the well are two cages built into the wall, kill all the guards and any other mobs in the way and click the cage doors to open them.
Your quest objective will now change to ‘Speak with Helena Brass’
Enter the left cage and speak with Helena Brass
Your quest objective will now change to ‘Speak with Karkh Nistor’
Enter the right cage and speak with Karkh Nistor
These two NPCs will now help you break open the door to the rest of the dungeon.
The bosses to kill will now be listed on your quest sticky.
Kill Mister Opal at the top of the slope and make your way up to the first boss.
Boss 1 - Rorf - Normal Mode + Expert Mode
When you enter the room, there are a lot of trash mobs that are sleeping, pull them carefully, not too many at a time, pay particular attention to the ‘Sentrys’ that will race to the edge of the room to spawn more adds, try to kill them before they reach their destination.
Rorf will be patrolling around the central pillar, try not to pull him til you are ready!
Rorf has 3 adds, Scratchy, Sneaky and Scary. Low level groups will need to kill these adds first before killing Rorf.
Ensure you interrupt his healing spell.
Super low level groups may need to kite the 3 adds around the central pillar, Rorf will follow along much slower, allowing you to keep Rorf out of LOS of the group while you kill the adds.
Rorf will throw purple ‘ghost’ tigers at random players once one of the adds is dead, this will hurt low level/low HP players.
Note: In Normal Mode Rorf only has one pet kitty.
Go up the tunnel behind Rorf /setwaypoint 719 635 to get to the next boss
Boss 2 - Pyromancer Cortilnald - Normal Mode + Expert Mode
Clear all the trash from the room and the boss encounter will begin.
The boss will start the fight up on the balcony, before coming down once a few of the adds have been killed.
Scaldflesh Ash and Molten Dogs will spawn all over the room, be sure to kill them.
Pyromaster Cortilnald will create circles of fire on the ground called Pillar of Fire. Players should not stand in them!
Be sure to interrupt ‘Cinderburst’, this spell will really hurt low level players.
The boss will also randomly teleport around the room, this is in a set pattern which you will learn after a few wipes!
Go up the slope at the south of the room /setwaypoint 713 704 to get to the next boss
Boss 3 - Flamebringer Druhl - Expert Mode
You will find yourself in an area with 3 portals set out in a triangle, you need to kill all the adds to close the portals before the next boss will spawn. Make sure your group is all the way down the slope before you start to pull or they will get locked out!
Pull the boss towards the middle of the room. DPS/Heals need to spread out around the boss.
The boss will pull everyone into melee range and apply a debuff called ‘Molten Instability’ to every player. When this debuff expires (5 seconds) it will explode and deal damage, which is magnified if there are other players nearby. So as soon as the boss pulls everyone in, everyone needs to run out into a spot away from other players until the debuff is gone.
Rinse and repeat til the boss is dead.
Travel up the slope behind the boss /setwaypoint 804 606 to get to the next boss
Boss 4 - Emberlord Ereetu - Normal Mode + Expert Mode
This boss has a frontal cleave called ‘Fire Claw’, be sure to tank his facing away from the group.
Random players will be targeted with ‘Explosive Bolt’ which deals damage to everyone near that player.
Random players will be targeted with Dark Invocation, this will stun the player for a few seconds, which can be painful if they are stood in the bad, be ready to heal!
The most important mechanic is ‘Scorching Shard’, this targets a random player and places a Shard at their location. The player needs to quickly move out of the red AOE around the Shard. These Shards will stay up til the boss is dead, so they will slowly fill up the room, acting as a soft enrage for the fight.
Low level groups will need to carefully kite the boss around the edge of the room and place the shards next to each other so there is still room to stand.
Boss 5 - Oludare the Firehoof - Expert Mode
Once Emberlord Ereeru is dead, Helena Brass will come up the slope for a chat.
When you speak with her it will start the mad dash to the next boss. You will follow Helena Brass down the dungeon paths all the way back to the room where you killed Rorf, killing everything you encounter on the way. Here, Helena will activate the 5th boss.
Be sure to defend Helena on the way down and don’t be too slow or Maelforge will get you with his fire breath!
Note: If Helena does die the last boss will still spawn you just won’t get the bonus loot chest.
The fight with Oludare is a simple tank and spank while staying out of the obviously bad fire.

Rorf
Right Meow
During expert mode runs, kill 2 of Rorfs big cat adds, then kill Rorf and then kill the remaining big cat. Do this in 3 separate runs leaving a different cat to die last each time.
Very high level players will need to be careful not to AOE/cleave and accidentally kill cats. Also, once Rorf is dead wait a few seconds before killing the last cat.
When you first pull/engage the boss and adds, you should wait a few seconds before you start killing anything, to make sure all 3 big cats are registered in the fight. When everything is attacking and showing on DPS meters then you can start killing.
Kitty Conservation
Kill Rorf without killing any of the big cats! (You will need to kill them after Rorf dies though, cos they angry)
Pyromancer Cortilnald
Don't Stand in Fire
Pretty self explanatory, don’t stand in the fire funnels that appear on the ground and don’t die! The funnels are slightly larger than they appear, so be sure to stay well away from the edge of them.
Flamebringer Druhl
Fire Drill
Kill the boss as described above, but pay special attention to ensuring each player is away from each other before the timer runs out on the debuff.
To make this easier, assign spots to each player at the start of the fight, North, East, South and West from the boss, as soon as players are pulled in, have the tank stay in the middle while the other 4 run to their assigned spots asap.
Emberlord Ereetu
Scorching Shards
It will take just over 2 minutes for 10 Shards to be placed, be careful with your placement so you don’t corner players, once there are 10 shards on the ground you can kill the boss.
Oludare the Firehoof
The Great Escape
Stay with Helena Brass during the decent to the final boss, ensure she doesn’t die!
It's Still Too Late
Kill the last boss within 3 mins of Helena Brass making it to the ground floor.
