The players will use the Ascendant Scepter to open a portal to the [[Ascendant Realm|Ascendant Plane]], bypass the Pyramid warding, and return to the real world to infiltrate the prisons, fighting Shadow Legion and [[Taken]] forces along the way. The players will be able to light a [[balefire]] before they return to the real world and confront a prison warden. When the players reach the final boss, they will fight it until a third of its health is depleted. At that point, it will summon an immunity shield and fill the area with a Dark Fetor, which will damage players outside the safe zone over time. Players must light a balefire provided by the Ascendant Scepter in order to create a safe zone, and purify the essences of powerful Taken to bring down the boss' shield. This will be repeated twice before the Fetor dissipates and the boss is left completely vulnerable. | ||
