Sanctum Cay is one of a few missions which technically requires no fighting whatsoever, and also has fairly weak enemies. However, a regular team will need to withstand waves of enemies at the end and often has trouble surviving until Vizier Khilbron can raise the escape boat. Thus, runners for Sanctum Cay are somewhat in demand. Any build that has a maintainable running skill and a strong tanking setup can easily run this mission.
The Route
Grab the Scepter of Orr from Evennia. Follow the red path shown.
- Be wary of the Hellhounds here, as they can body-block you if you aren't careful.
- Here there be Bone Dragons. Be careful if casting a spell here. The swamp water inflicts poison, but shouldn't be too threatening.
- Hand off the scepter to the Vizier. Run to point 4.
- This is where you tank. Keep aggro off the Vizier while he summons. If you aren't using spell prevention (Shadow Form or Obsidian Flesh), you will need to dodge out of the Searing Heats used by the White Mantle Savants to avoid burning.
Run onto the ship when it is summoned.
