- Any weapon with a +20% increase in enchantment duration, Galigord's Stone Staff or Droknars's Earth Staff is ideal.
- Enter Glint's Challenge.
- Position yourself somewhere between the two doorways and wait.
- When the first wave of destroyers are about to reach you (~60secs on the timer) start maintaining Mantra of Earth, Stone Striker, Stoneflesh Aura and Obsidian Flesh
- Chain Glyph of Swiftness with Obsidian flesh in order to keep it up constantly.
- When the timer reaches aprox. 3 minutes, the last group of destroyers should come.
- Start moving towards the eastern group and position yourself in range for sliver armor to act.
- Cast Arcane Echo -> Sliver Armor -> Alkar's Alchemical Acid -> Echoed Sliver Armor.
- When you're done with the eastern mob, move to the northern one and repeat the above skill chain.
[edit] Counters
- Vengeful Weapon can do some large amounts of damage so be careful how you use Alkar's Alchemical Acid.
- Failure to maintain Obsidian Flesh due to enchantment removal.
