List of Contents
The Vault of the Ancients Quest Location

| No. | Objectives | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |  |
Head to the southeastern side of Uldar. The entrance where you need to go is just under the Fast Travel point. Head inside to get to the Old City. |
| 2 |  |
From the entrance, use your Muspel disguise and sprint to the back and climb the wall directly in front where a Muspel is patrolling. Then take the eastern path sloping upwards. |
| 3 |  |
Head further eastwards, and you'll see a fountain, and southeast of that would be Fritjof and Tyra. Speak to them to continue the quest. |
| 4 |  |
Follow the dwarves down to a pedestal where you can place the Sunstone. Then afterward, you can see two beams of light. Aim those at the sunstone. |
| 5 |  |
After a short cutscene, some Muspels will try to stop you. Defeat them and then return to the sunstone to see the vault door open. |
| 6 |  |
A short cutscene will occur, and then you will need to escort the dwarves out. Once you get to the fountain where you fought, another cutscene occurs. |
| 7 |  |
Sinmara is back for another beating. Defeat her and head back to Grenhellir Shelter. Check here for tips for the rematch against Sinmara! |
| 8 |  |
Once you return to the shelter, head to the opening right of the item shop, and Ivaldi will be sitting down on a crystal. Speak to him for a series of cutscenes. |
| 9 |  |
After the cutscenes, you'll need to fight Glod. After you defeat him, a cutscene will occur. |
How to Defeat Sinmara in the Old City
Avoid the Downward Axe Slam
The downward axe slam attack can hit you with the shockwave even when you dodge the initial slam. It's best to keep moving around her.
She does leave herself open to an attack, or two, after doing this move, so take advantage of this moment where she isn't dodging a lot.
Use the Power of Muspelheim
The lava can be potentially more damaging than Sinmara if you're not careful with your positioning. If you can't avoid it, use the Power of Muspelheim to prevent the lava hazard from damaging you.
The ability also gives you fire resistance, so you're going to be resistant to Sinmara's long-range attack if you're too far from her.
Sinmara Dodges a Lot
Sinmara, in this fight, has learned from you and is going to be dodging a lot as well. Don't be too aggressive with your attacks, as you also need to avoid her downward axe slam.
Do two light attacks and then distance yourself, or wait for a bigger opportunity like her downward axe slam.
Lock-On is Not Your Friend
Sinmara can dodge away from you fast enough that the lock-on disengages. You can try to use this if she's not right next to you.
How to Defeat Glod
Equip Lots of Fire Resistance
Majority of Glod's attack moves are fire-based and it would be a wise option to socket in some Fire Damage Resistance Runes. You will see a lot of fire in this fight.
Glod Will Chain His Moves
Glod will often combo his light attacks, and it will do significant damage to you if you get hit by the full combo.
If you are unable to dodge the initial swipe as it's quite fast, you can still dodge out of the combo as you aren't fully stunlocked.
Avoid His Pounce Attack
He will often use his Rune Attack, which is a pounce, repeatedly up to 4 times. Dodge out of the way, and if you have the Brush With Death Skill, it will help you land some hits, as he does have some windup time before the next pounce.
Be Mindful When Glod's Health is Half
When Glod goes down to half his health, he will return to the center and summon the lava to encircle both of you. He will be vulnerable while he summons the lava closer, so make the most of this opportunity.
He will then run on the lava while encircling you, keep track of him with your camera and dodge accordingly.
Now is the best time to use the Power of Muspelheim, as you will have a hard time avoiding the lava and Glod. Plus it gives you more Fire Resistance to brush off some more of Glod's Attacks.
Be Mindful of your Power's Cooldown
The duration of this lava encirclement would most likely outlast your power, so be mindful where you are when the power is running out!
Lock-On is Still Your Friend
Engaging lock-on versus Glod will help you circle around him where you are mostly safe from his swiping attacks.
