Notes

Advancing through this dungeon is based on completing two puzzles or completing two killtasks.
- Note:Completing the puzzles gets you 20 million xp and 2 titles but the the killtasks get you no reward besides getting through to the end of the dungeon.
At the end is a portal to the Assassin's Roost, a tower where Selaina the Subtle and Creed reside.

Walk Through

From the drop you will find a room full of Bottles, Barrels, and Kegs that can be killed like creatures. Kill them until one drops a Door Key.
Use the key on the locked door (Diff 9999).
From this point there are two trials to complete, with an optional kill task that can be used to bypass each trial.
- Warning: By opting out of a trial, you will receive no xp or title.

Trial 1: Floor Puzzle

Navigate a floor of tiles based on the pattern provided at various points along the puzzle. If you step on an incorrect tile, it will portal you back to the start (similar to the puzzle on the Gaerlan quest).

In order to bypass the trial:

You will find a hallway that will branch off from the hallway leading to the the trial.

Jump strategy

(it might be other ones work too)
Doors stay open for about 5 minutes. If you have doubts after a retry if they will stay open long enough, close and reopen them.

From the door, step on the wood structure to the right
Aim at the gate to the left. Long jump.
Open the door, and use the lever to open the gate on the right side
If you look out of the room to the right, you can check if the gate on the next bridge to the left is actually open.
Go back on the bridge and shift-jump on the railing. The center is good for that. Walk on the railing to the corner of the left room
Shift-jump to the first fading platform
Shift-jump to the next fading platform
Turn around, and a long jump towards the gate to the right on the next bridge
Use the lever in the left room to open the gate on the right
Use the lever in the right room to open the wood-structure door on the balcony below
Long jump out of the window in the right room towards Maniel
Talk to Maniel for your reward
Go to the edge, and a small backward shift jump to the balcony below

Exit to the Tower

Once you are past the trials you must run up many flights of spiral stairs until you reach a yellow portal.
The portal deposits you at the bottom of the Tower in the South Direlands where Selaina the Subtle and Creed reside.
