The Stonevault in the Adventure Guide

Dungeon - The War Within

The Stonevault

4 encounters, 30 boss abilities and 28 drops, with the Adventure Guide’s own ability and strategy notes for each fight. Every drop links to its item page; tradeable drops carry a live Auction House price.

Machine Speakers maintain the Stonevault, a facility adjacent to their Hall of Awakening. Their former leader, Void Speaker Eirich, was recently deposed after becoming infected with Void corruption. While Machinists labor and loyalists patrol, Eirich hides behind his most fanatic and corrupted followers. Sequestered behind titan tunnels, he has undergone a terrifying transformation. To ensure he never ascends to power again, your swift intervention is required.

E.D.N.A.

Defense protocols engaged! Earthen Defense and Neutralization Automaton is active. Informal nomenclature: E.D.N.A. This golem has contingencies for any potential intruder. Killing skardyn is its primary directive, but any unauthorized intuder is sufficient for a lethal response.

Abilities & Strategy

Overview

The Earthen Defense and Neutralization Automation periodically targets players with its Refracting Beam, that inflicts damage to players and destroys Volatile Spikes within the effect. 8 Upon reaching 100 energy, E.D.N.A. unleashes an Earth Shatterer, destroying all Volatile Spikes.

Skarmorak

The High Speaker spent countless years attempting to restore the Awakening Machine. One failed attempt resulted in a new horror: a golem infused with skardyn corruption. Crystals augment its elemental configuration. Though it barely communicates its alien mindset, its hatred for all creation is undeniable.

Abilities & Strategy

Overview

Skarmorak assaults players with Crystalline Smash forming Crystal Shards. Occasionally, Skarmorak unleashes Unstable Crash sending Unstable Fragments hurtling towards players. Upon depleting its energy, Skarmorak bolsters itself with Fortified Shell.

Void Speaker Eirich

Void Speaker Eirich begins the encounter by tearing open 2 Void Rift. Periodically, the Void Speaker will afflict players with Void Corruption which can only be removed by moving close to an active Void Rift.

Master Machinists

Master Machinists focus on complex work at prestigious worksites. Brokk and Dorlita have worked as a team for as long as anyone can remember. Granted, Brokk's productivity is slipping, but both are authorized to defend their site with direct and efficient displays of violence.

Abilities & Strategy

Overview

Speakers Brokk and Dorlita unleash a calculated assault of metal and flame, using abilites like Molten Metal and Lava Cannon and even activating Exhaust Vents to fill the area with Flaming Scrap. Brokk periodically uses Scrap Song to conjure and launch a Scrap Cube, which Dorlita then locks onto for an explosive Blazing Crescendo.
