- Trap location
Zone: Lavastorm

Zone: Lavastorm · Temple of Solusek Ro
7. Farm a key in Solusek's Eye
Enter Solusek's Eye and kill Defenders of Thyr and Pyredukes of Thyr until you receive a key (semi-rare auto-updating drop). Find them on the fifth level.

10. Hail the Projection of Najena
After killing the Magolemus, hail A Projection of Najena who spawns on the corpse. You do not need to kill the Magolemus yourself — hailing works even if others killed him.

Tips

Speak Goblish before seeking Charly — he will not offer the quest otherwise.
Disable spires in the recommended order to minimize backtracking across Lavastorm.
The Projection of Najena step is time-sensitive — hail immediately after the Magolemus dies.
Plan two trips to Tazgar and one full Solusek's Eye run for the key and Djarn fight.
