- Use your extra action button to apply your kobold disguise. Move around the room avoiding the patrolling kobolds and make your way to each candle marked on the minimap. When you click on the candle, it will snuff the flame and leave a purple area effect on the ground that gives you a stacking debuff, reducing your max health the longer you stand in it. Just move away and it will drop off again.
- The packs in the corner don't seem to move from the four candles, but you can stand on the edge of the sight rings and snuff them without being detected. If you do accidentally trigger the mobs, you just need to kill them and reapply your disguise.
- To trigger Waximus, and later Drippear, just walk into their ring of sight or use the extra action button to remove your disguise, then reapply it with the same button once they are killed.
- Loot Drippear and use the candle keys to loot the illuminated chests in the room. My candle crown was in the back left of the room.
This was bugged for me as a level 76. I had to group with someone below level 75 and party sync to bring myself down before I was able to enter the dungeon.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Wax On, Pot Off
If candles are important to kobold society, I have an idea that might disrupt their production... or at least make sure there's an unpleasant surprise waiting for our enemy. Take that cinderbrew. Drop some in those large vats of wax the kobolds are prepping at the top of that hill.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Back to Gundargaz
We may not have overthrown the Candle King, but our work here has surely relieved some of the pressure facing Gundargaz. And it's made us more than a few new allies, as well. Our new friends will not be forgotten, on my word as Speaker.
