The Spires of Deshar

Monster Level 30

The Spires of Deshar is an area you can access from Path of Mourning. You'll be led to this place if you're doing the The Trail of Corruption main quest.

This area consists of several open spaces with terrain connected by narrow bridges. You have to fight through Faridun Swordsmen, Faridun Heavy Infantry, and Faridun Bladedancers, along with other enemies. As you progress through the area, you will encounter The Defiled Spire, where you must defeat Tor Gul, the Defiler. The boss is stationary in the middle of the region. Still, its attacks can cover most of the area you can move around.

With all the AoE attacks that Tor Gul does, it's most dangerous is when it traps you between its arms and sets it on fire with a powerful blast and fire tornadoes. Stick to its arms as much as possible to avoid the powerful hit.

Interacting with the shrine animates a group of Kinarha to ambush you. Ready your AoE attacks and position yourself well to avoid being surrounded.
