With the newest expansion Eye of the North: Guild Wars players are offered a chance to enter the world of dungeons and receive new loot. Cathedral of Flames is one such dungeon in Guild Wars that has impressive rewards for completing the dungeon or killing bosses. This dungeon consists of 3 levels where the final battle will find you face to face with the Lady of the Night Murakai. You will also find various charr, ghosts, undead, and enchanted weapons that are levels 20 through 28 with the final boss, Murakai, being a level 29. You will also encounter some level 17 phantoms. Stop by and visit one of the three collectors; Dextarr Dirtdigger, Akom, or Lars Bridgeater. Dextarr will

give you a blindfold for 50 Diessa Chalices. Akom will give you a dungeon map or item of your choice for 5 Stone Claws. Lars will offer a dread mask for 25 Golden Rin Relics.

The quest Temple of the Damned is available for this dungeon and is repeatable. You can obtain this quest from Gron Fierceclaw who is the merchant in the outpost Doomlore Shrine.

Finding your way to the location of and then navigating through any dungeon in Guild Wars can be a challenge in itself without mentioning the bosses, your henchmen not listening, and other problems that can arise. Dungeons are spread out all over Eye of the North in hidden locations that you must discover yourself. There will not be a marker on your map to the location of any dungeon

unless you have taken your character to the spot and uncovered it. There is no need for a map from Doomlore Shrine to the Cathedral of Flames because getting there is simple. You will only need to talk to Gron Fierceclaw again after taking the quest Temple of the Damned to gain entry into the Cathedral of Flames.

Follow the inside dungeon map carefully to avoid unnecessary fights and going down the wrong tunnels. Here are maps of all 3 levels in the Cathedral of Flames.
