Glast Heim Rebellion

Enter the instance. Ymir announces that you have arrived at the very start of this universe’s Calamity; events are unwritten and her Temporal Aura cannot see the future—you must help this universe survive. Khalitzburg Hildegard greets you: the area is restricted; they are fighting the King’s Blackguards. She asks you to join the rebellion and to target only Blackguards that have a dark symbol on their feet (mob 30127). Do not kill Radiant Cavaliers (30125)—if you kill two or more, Hildegard accuses you of sabotage and sends more Radiant Cavaliers to attack. Clear the marked Blackguards; when enough are dead, Hildegard gives you a key for either the Left Gate or Right Gate (random). New warps open.

Left path (magic area): Blackguards here are highly resistant to magic and use dark magic (mob 30129). Clear them; when all are dead, Ymir senses a heavy presence and a Blackguard Arcanist (30131) boss spawns. Defeat it; Hildegard opens the gate on the upper left. Right path (physical area): Blackguards here are highly resistant to physical attacks and have heightened melee (mob 30130). Clear them; when all are dead, a Blackguard Bulwark (30132) boss spawns. Defeat it; Hildegard opens the gate on the upper right. You then enter a trap corridor: Left—unseen Arcanists cast magic lines; Right—unseen Striders fire arrows. Evade the lines/arrows and reach the center where Hildegard and Sir Lohengrin are.

Hildegard and Sir Lohengrin explain the King is in the middle chamber and that the rebellion is to save the kingdom; the King used Absolute Dark Magic to create the mindless cavalry. Lohengrin opens the gate. Enter the chamber—the King is not there. A voice cries: “Nooooo!! Sir Lohengrin!! What did you do to him?!” Possessed Lohengrin (30133) spawns; he is damage immune for a short time, then becomes attackable. King Reindhart and Khalitzburg Hildegard#3 appear; Hildegard sentences the King to death. Defeat Possessed Lohengrin; he says “..save Glast Heim.. please..” King Reindhart and Sakray have a short dialogue; the King warns about the Dark Lord and taunts about the upper sanctum. A warp opens to return to the sanctum entrance. Touch the new warp trigger: you cannot sense Ymir—a bad omen. Hildegard announces she slipped past the Striders and that you must fight through; Striders (30134) spawn. Kill at least one Strider to open the warp to 2@gl_k (fog, night). There is a small chance to gain an Arcane Key (for the Arcane Arbalest later).

On map 2@gl_k, find and talk to Khalitzburg Hildegard#4. She says everyone has been possessed, they are too late, the King and Dark Lord have won, and everyone in the castle is gone but her; she is in despair. Talk to her again: Ymir’s voice breaks through—find two sources of corruption and be careful of Hildegard’s growing despair. Mordekaz Seed 1 (30136) spawns; Hildegard transforms (30137) and fights. Defeat the Seed first; then Hildegard says she has avenged her comrades and is free, and dies. Despair Hildegard (30135) spawns. Defeat her; Ymir says the blocking power has weakened and she will force the gates open. Mordekaz Seed 2 (30136) and Mordekaz Soldiers (30138) appear. The Seed is damage immune until you kill at least one Soldier—then the “absolute protection of the seed is gone.” Defeat the Seed; Ymir says the force blocking her is gone and to search the right-most part of the sanctum for a strong dark presence.

Enter the right-most area. Umbral Cavaliers (30133) spawn. Reindhart and Sakray appear; Reindhart is sacrificed by Sakray as an offering for the Dark Lord’s physical body. Ymir announces she will use her temporal magic to sever Mordekaz’s link to this universe. Mordekaz (30139) spawns. If you have the Arcane Key from the Striders, you can use the Arcane Arbalest for a chance to deal extra damage to Mordekaz. Killing 10 + difficulty Umbral Cavaliers applies a debuff to Mordekaz: he takes +100% damage from all sources for 2 minutes. Defeat Mordekaz to complete the instance. Ymir’s Projection appears—she says Glast Heim was still annihilated despite your efforts, but this universe still lives. Choose Take me back to warp to Aurelia (192, 153). There is a chance for a Lost Rift Traveller (30113) to spawn after Mordekaz for extra rewards.
