Offer Text[]
You survived the Tu'tara more or less in one piece. Congratulations. But it occurs to me that you didn't do anything that you wouldn't ordinarily have done. This second task should prove much more amusing.
Step through the Portal. Your second task ... is to survive!

Survive against the hordes of enemies until you find a way to return to Fazeer Shah.
The story so far...
Fazeer Shah has promised to help you release the magical bonds placed on the Guardian of Mana by the Artificer, if you'll just perform three tasks for the djinni's amusement. The first task was easy enough, but the second seems much riskier.
But, if jumping through the djinni's hoops will free the Guardian of Mana from Ezrohir control, then that's what you'll have to do.
After Completing the Luminous Arena[]
You have prevailed against the hordes of enemies. Return to Fazeer Shah in the Salt Barrens.
Walkthrough[]
Enter the portal summoned by the Djinni to enter the Luminous Arena. Once inside, begin the first phase of the dungeon by stepping into the teleporter pad.
This first phase consists of traversing through the arena while staying within an illuminated circle which will deal damage to the players straying away from this area. As the circle moves deeper into the arena, enemies will spawn - they do not need to be defeated to continue, but they will continue to harass, damage, and pull the player outside of the circle. Collect chests along the way and avoid the floor traps until reaching the teleporter leading to the second phase of the dungeon.
The second phase consists of a slowly expanding area that consists of many small encounters against handfuls of enemies at a time. At the end of each encounter, chests will spawn and give players a small amount of time to rest before more enemies arrive. After the other encounters, Manticore will spawn once again - defeat this boss to complete this phase of the arena.
Once both phases are completed, proceed to the end of the arena to a boss chest and surface portal. Once back in the Salt Barrens, speak to Fazeer Shah to end the quest and begin the next quest.
