1) Once in Highgate, we proceed to top right of the town into “The Descent”.
In here, we follow the right side and use the supply hoist lift, then we follow the left side, use the lift again and in the end, top right side to get to “The Vastiri Desert”.

2) In Vastiri Desert, we have a few things to do yet again. I suggest going along one wall until you find either a new zone, waypoint or an area that has a storm-weathered chest.
If you find the Storm-Weathered Chest, click it and do the event. It will drop “Storm Blade”, which is required for the quest in the same zone. Your goal now is to find a waypoint.
Once you find the waypoint, go back to town and talk to Sin & Petarus and Vanja to get Bottled Storm, which is needed for the next area.
You can also pick the reward from the same quest and it gives a weapon of choice. Return back to The Vastiri Desert.

2a) Now, we’re trying to find the next 2 areas. Generally they are Top Right and Top/Top Left in the zone FROM the waypoint!
Once you find a zone that has a big sandstorm over it, approach it and the bottled storm will clear the way to “The Oasis”. Enter this zone now.

3) In Oasis, we want to get to the end part of the zone and enter the boss arena. We kill Shakari there. Follow the left wall until you reach “The Sand Pit”. Here we fight Shakari.

3a) Once you get her down to ~60%, she will burrow and go top right. Follow her through the zone and avoid her frontal attack until you reach “The Swallowing Sands”.

3b) In this boss arena, you want to avoid the swirlies on the ground and just defeat the boss. She will burrow and un-burrow constantly, therefore you have to be on the move a lot. After you defeat her, talk to Sin to get her Soul for the Pantheon. Then, go back to town to pick up a reward.
Irasha Gives a book of skill (+1 passive)

4) Return back via waypoint to The Vastiri Desert, then go top left this time until you reach “The Foothills”. In here, we have to defeat a unique enemy and find 2 exits for next areas.
Go along the right wall until the waypoint. This leads to The Boiling Lake, which we will enter later. Continue North/North-West while exploring the area for unique enemy “Boulderback” that drops “The Calendar Of Fortune” and after killing it, proceed North-West to “The Tunnel”.

5) The Tunnel is the area that has a Lab Trial and after that we continue to the next zone “The Quarry”.

6) In The Quarry, first thing we want to do is to get to the middle of the zone to pick up the Waypoint. Once you do that, you can choose where to go, either Top Right or Top Left. We have 2 areas we need to do, one is a boss arena and the other one is a zone called “Refinery”. They randomly shuffle to those locations. I usually go top right first.

6a) If you find “Shrine of the Winds”, enter it and defeat Garukhan. She drops “Sekhema Feather” and Sin rewards you with her Soul for the Pantheon. Now go the opposite way and enter “The Refinery”

7) In The Refinery, follow the cart tracks North to North-East/West until you reach General Adus. Defeat him and loot Trarthan Powder, then go back to town.
Once in town, speak to NPCs for quest rewards:
Irasha/Tasuni give a book of skill (+1 passive point) [You can choose only 1 NPC]
Petarus and Vanja give a book of regrets (+2 respec points).

8) Return to the Foothills via Waypoint and enter “The Boiling Lake”. In here, follow along the “water side” until you reach the end of the map with a Unique Mob “Basilisk”. Kill it and loot its acid, then return to town and portal to Quarry. Talk to Sin to open the way to “The Belly of the Beast”

10) In The Rotting Core we want to get all the way to the “Black core”. Enter it, talk with sin and he will open 3 portals to different areas. PUT A TOWN PORTAL HERE JUST IN CASE IF YOU DIE (then TP to town!!!), else you’ll have to walk all the way from Quarry (not fun).

10a) I usually start from the right portal then go counter-clockwise, but whichever way you want to do them, doesn’t really matter, we want to defeat: Shavronne, Maligaro & Doedre (yes, again) and then talk to Sin. This will unlock the final boss fight of Act 9 – The Depraved Trinity. Once you defeat it, talk to Lilly Roth to sail to Oriath.
