The boss is at 54.51, 41.51, inside a cave. To summon him, click the 6 candles to 'blow them out'.
The entrance to the cave is at 55.25, 44.41, and is due east and down from Skyhorn.
Enter the cave, and follow the ramp up. Don't take the tunnels leading off to the right. Just walk up the ramp a little way, and the alcove with the candles is on your right. You don't need to leave the first big cavern you enter.
For the achievement Adventurer of Highmountain you also must kill Devouring Darkness.
Coordinates: 54.4, 41.2 - Highmountain, Sepulcher of the Sky, Candle Rock,
Flight point: Skyhorn - [npc=97860]
Item: [item=131780]
- the best way to find him is to start at the flight point in Skyhorn. Go down the small hill and turn right, go to the narrow gorge with the small hut. Behind is the area of "Sepulcher of the Sky". To the left you will see the entrance to the "Candle Rock" cave. Inside go right a few meters until you see six candles on the right niche, click all candles and Devouring Darkness will appear.
If you complete the quest Wax On, Wax Off, Candle to the Grave and The Gates of Wax, the cobolds around this area will be neutral to you.Worldquest:
