The 2.8.5 update brings you face-to-face with familiar foes in the revamped Wall of Lament instance! Gear up for the upcoming challenges that await you.
Samael’s Torment Across Ages
From level 58, you can team up with up to three other Daevas to delve into the Wall of Lament, where you'll undergo the firsthand torment of Samael beyond the continuum.
This instance is accessible once per week with a reset every Wednesday at 9 AM. Among the manifold treasures you'll uncover is an exclusive equipment set, only obtained here!
Backstory
Ordinarily doomed in Sunken Telos, Samael astonished Tiamat by enduring the temporal trials more readily than her other test subjects. Thus, the Balaur Lord once again displayed the harsh reality behind her facade of mercy. She commanded that the tortured Daeva's form be brought before her and used her volatile abilities to resurrect her shattered soul.
Torn across the threads of time, Samael's essence is dispersed beyond any redemption, confined by Tiamat's manipulations in a past and future she cannot escape. The once free Daeva can no longer even attain the solace of death. She is Samael, a figure of lamentation, suffering uniquely unparalleled among Daevas.
How to Reach the Wall of Lament
The Wall of Lament is accessible through the Apheta Beluslan Fortress, provided your faction holds the fort. If not, seek Tikimunerk or Tikirunerk nearby for a Lament Fragment, permitting passage through the airship rift to this haunting realm.
The Instance
Upon entry, you and your companions are pulled into a warped timeline where Tiamat accumulates strength. This prison echoes with the cries of its lone captive: Samael. Her essence, fragmented across time, lies unknowably changed.
Samael, marooned in misery, won't react until assaulted. Use this pause to ready your approach. A finite number of attempts exist to release this tortured Daeva, and once the battle initiates, retreat is not an option!
The fight is a demonstration of Samael's agony-driven prowess as she unleashes a barrage of lethal skills. Periodically, time itself unravels, summoning alternate renditions of her from uncharted rivers of reality.
Yet those Daevas who gallantly end Samael’s torment are destined for abundant rewards. Stand to gain the Doomed Legion Commander's gear, featuring exclusive armor, weapons, and accessory pieces, among other grand prizes.
Tips and Tricks
In the heat of battle, maintaining your composure is crucial. Samael wields a potent range of AoE attacks capable of inflicting severe harm if met without calm resilience. Watch your environment closely, especially the ground! Electrified spots are generally hazardous to your well-being.
The arena's floor boasts vents which shouldn't be dismissed. Samael's formidable onslaught includes an unavoidable strike that might be evaded through these air-born currents.
