Notes

• This hero challenge can be blocked by the Clear out Balthazar's temple (80) event which spawns a powerful Champion Avatar of Balthazar, requiring many people to complete it. If the event is ongoing, then Exalted Markings Mastery or a player portal will be needed in order to enter the area, as vines will block the entrance. The vines disappear when the event is completed.
• Players can ignore the Avatar of Balthazar using  Stealth skills like Shadow Refuge or Sneak Gyro and channel the hero challenge in stealth.
  • The fire around the hero point deals damage once every second, interrupting the channel. This damage can be avoided with a block or effects like Invulnerability or  Aegis.
  • The damage from the fire comes from an invisible enemy very slightly underground in the center of the fire. Certain skills can damage targets underground. Killing this enemy will cause the fire to deal no damage whatsoever, allowing people to safely channel the hero point. This is especially useful when the event for killing the avatar bugs out.
