The Graveyard Coliseum / Arena - How do you defeat it?


For anyone that doesn't know about this quest, here's what I know.

1.) Corrupted Dreads and Pyre Skeletons in the graveyard during the day drop Ornate Bone Keys. I'm sure other things in the night spawn do as well, but these are the only things that have produced keys for me so far.

2.) Use the key on the biaka statue to the right of the Meeting Hall-like structure and a portal will appear for one minute. (Don't get caught in a rat swarm or you may miss the portal).

3.) Once inside, speak to the NPC ghost to start the first wave of attacks. The person who used the key must be the one to speak to the NPC to trigger the spawns, or else nothing will happen.

4.) The waves will consist fully of graveyard creatures. Pyre Minions, Pyre Skeletons, Wights, Wight Captains, Wight Blade Sorcerers, Pyre Champions, Pillars of Fire, and the Lord of House Mhoire.

5.) If you stand at the tip top of the reward chest at the back of the room, you will be mostly safe from melee attacks. However, if you die in this position, your corpse will be glitched and difficult to loot (The body will only stay open for half a second at a time, so you'll have to be quick with the mouse).

6.) The final NPC will not spawn until ALL of the final wave is destroyed, not just the boss. Killing the boss does not kill the entire spawn.

7.) The boss dropped 2 Mhoire Coins.

8.) The key given to me by the final NPC opened the chest with a lot of loot and 4 additional Mhoire Coins. Because the key is given to you directly by a NPC, I don't think there is a limit to the amount of players that can participate in the quest. He doesn't stay spawned forever though, so you must be quick to speak to him.

9.) Popping an Inferno's Jewel Rare (Fire Protection) will make you an invincible god. War spells will hit you for 0, even from the boss and pillar of fire when vulned. Melee attacks without a shield will hit you for 0, given they are fire based. It's the only way I was able to finish off the boss solo when my entire group died.

And now my question:

Did your group make sure not to lure over/attack the pillars of fire when you successfully completed this quest? I noticed that just about everyone in my group died as a result of that pillar when it came over and attacked.

Any additional tips / tactics I should be aware of?


Its best if you dont attack or vuln the Lord until everything else is dead. The pillars of fire only start to spawn when you attack the Lord. Also dispell before you start to kill the Lord.


The Pillars will continue to spawn as long as the Lord is still alive. Dispelling before fighting the Lord is essential. You can have 1-2 melees use a frost rend on the Pillars and take them down pretty fast.
