Notes

Split the heroes according to this pattern for the portals at the beginning of the instance:

Portal 1 (right) - Saving Restoration

Take hero: Putrid Disruption, Rodgort's Restoration

Portal 2 (center-right) - Choking Shot

Take heroes: Rodgort's Protection, Sleep Now In The Fire

Portal 3 (center-left) - Wastrel's Speed

Take heroes: Protective Souls, Pure Souls

Portal 4 (left) - Painful Spirits, Rodgort's Surge

Take heroes: Verata's Souls

Painful Spirits, Rodgort's Surge and Wastrel's Speed should attempt to break out of their rooms and then clear towards the other groups to free them. The other teams should wait until rescued instead of trying to fight on their own.

When the team reaches the gate between rooms 3 and 4 the following player and heroes should be on the pressure pads while the rest of the team proceed through:

Choking Shot, Protective Souls, Pure Souls, Rodgort's Protection, Sleep Now In The Fire

To defeat Kanaxai, bring him down to about 60% health then switch to killing the summoned enemies. Regardless of what happens the Choking Shot player should continue to attack Kanaxai at all times during the encounter and the Stolen Guilt player should continue to hex and use Tryptophan Signet to prevent him casting as much as possible. Once enough summoned enemies have been killed switch back to Kanaxai and kill him, mostly ignoring the additional enemies.

"You Move Like a Dwarf!" is your only reliable means of knocking down Kanaxai at each 20% health mark (and his aspects along the way).

When Kanaxai dies you should consider running the entire group out to the hallway where there's no degeneration. Once the group is out and recovered, pull the summoned minions out to finish them off.
