Under the unforgiving Thanalan sun lie and ruins of an ancient temple half-devoured by the shifting sands of timeless desert. Though used by ancient Belah'dians as a place to worship the sun goddess, Azeyma, the massive underground structure appears to be far older than his Sixth Astral Era civilization. That, however, did not deter Belah'dian sultans from each adding their own chambers to the original construct to a bid to achieve immortality through creation. In the subsequent years since the fall of Belah'dia, many an adventurer has sought to explore the temple's mysteries and perhaps return with the treasure of a lost era... Only to fall victim to one of the complex traps set to prevent that very thing from happening.

3. Defeat Teratotaur.
4. Continue until reaching the first closing door and defeat the immobile Avoirdupois to open the door.

The Sunken Temple of Qarn Guide (updated for 7.2)

Teratotaur

Teratotaur is the first boss of The Sunken Temple of Qarn. The boss fight has multiple instant death mechanics, involving adds and three square plates positioned around the arena.

• Triclip: Telegraphed tankbuster.
• Template:Combat message Two Dung Wespe adds will spawn. Kill these quickly or they will use Final Sting on their target and deal massive damage (70% of their maximum HP; two hits will be instant death).
• Frightful Roar: Telegraphed point-blank AoE. Anyone hit will receive a 15-second Physical Vulnerability Up which can be cleansed with File:Action.png  Esuna.
• Mow: Telegraphed frontal conal AoE. Anyone hit will receive a 15-second Poison which can be cleansed with File:Action.png  Esuna.
• Mortal Ray: Template:Combat message A room-wide AoE that will inflict everyone with a Doom debuff on your entire party; the debuff lasts 12 seconds and will instantly kill anyone still afflicted by it when the timer ends.
  • The boss can be stunned (using actions such as File:Action.png  Low Blow or File:Action.png  Leg Sweep during the cast to prevent it.
  • Players can remove this debuff by stepping on the square plate that is glowing orange; only one of them will turn orange at a time. It may be preferable to tank the Teratotaur in the middle of the room between all three plates so that they are within easy reach of the Tank and Melee DPS, but the duration is long enough that it should not be a problem.

Temple Guardian

Temple Guardian is a gigantic rock golem boss. Throughout the fight, Temple Guardian will spawn File:Aggressive difficulty r1.png Golem Soulstone onto its chest. While the Soulstone is alive, Temple Guardian takes virtually no damage. When the Golem Soulstone is destroyed, the golem is stunned and becomes vulnerable for a period of time before the Soulstone respawns. Players should switch their target to the Soulstone when it spawns. The Guardian will target random players with most of his abilities. To save time, it is recommended to use a DPS (preferably melee) limit break on the Guardian to increase the chances of killing it when it becomes vulnerable the first time, before the Soulstone respawns.

Abilities

• Rockslide is a frontal column AoE attack.
• True Grit is a frontal cone AoE attack that will inflict a 15-second Blind which can be cleansed with File:Action.png  Esuna.
• Boulder Clap is a frontal AoE attack.
• Obliterate is an instant attack that deals magical damage to the entire party.
• Stone Skull is an instant attack that damages one player, knocks them back, and stuns them for 3 seconds.

Adjudicator

Adjudicator is the final boss of The Sunken Temple of Qarn. Throughout the fight, it will spawn various Mythril Verges on the ground.

• Looming Judgment: Telegraphed tankbuster.
• Summon: Template:Combat message Spawns two Mythril Verges. Defeat these adds as soon as possible.
  • These will aim at at random players with Verge Line, a blue telegraphed line AoE.
  • Each time they use their AoE, they will gain a stack of Haste, increasing the rate of their attacks.
  • If the adds reach 6 stacks, they will instantly explode with Self-Destruct for high party-wide damage.
• Creeping Darkness: Party-wide magical damage.
• Summon: Template:Combat message Now spawns four Mythril Verges, one per corner.
  • Each add will chain a player, briefly stunning and drawing them in, inflicting bind.
  • All players will then be targeted with Verge Pulse by their respective add. If it connects, the player will instantly die. Players must defeat their adds to free themselves and dodge the AoE. Freed players should help defeat other adds to free their allies.
• Dark II: A massive telegraphed conal AoE aimed at a random player. To facilitate dodging, do not be too far away from the boss.
• Dark: A telegraphed circle AoE at one random player's current location.
• Summon: Summons four Mythril verges again, but similar to the first usage of this attack (without players being chained).

Lore

The Temple To The Sun Goddess

In the south of sunbaked Thanalan, half devoured by the shifting sands, there lie the ruins of an ancient temple.

Formerly used by the Belah'dians as a place to worship the sun goddess, Azeyma, its construction is credited to Tatamefu II, with further expansion taking place over generations under the auspices of sovereigns such as Lalafuto I, Lalafuto III, and Memeto the Meek. Financial woes, however, put a stop to Lalafuto IV's bid to expand underground, and all such work would be forever ended when a war of succession broke out between two princes and the kingdom was torn in twain.

In the years since the fall of Belah'dia, many souls have sought to plumb the temples mysteries, but the devious traps that riddle its halls have frustrated the efforts of explorers and thieves alike.

Temple Guardian

Brought to life with knowledge inherited from the Mhach civilization, these guardians of stone dutifully and tirelessly attend to those who would defile the temple. To be spared their attentions, one must bear the guise of a genuine worshiper, but few such implements have survived the passage of time.

The Perils Of Nenekko

Owing to the efforts of sure-footed adventurers, the Sunken Temple of Qarn was made safe, and a partnership between the Order of Nald'thal and Amajina & Sons Mineral Concern sent forth a joint expedition to coax out its secrets.

Alas, by then the rumors of hidden treasure had reached the ears of the rapacious and reckless, whose blundering presence in the ruins awakened yet more arcane traps and left the expedition stranded amidst deadly dangers. A team of adventurers familiar with the temple’s workings was promptly dispatched to rescue the civilians, with an express focus on the young scholar Nenekko, daughter to the chairman of Amajina & Sons.

Had this mission failed, it is said that the Concern’s private army, the Stone Torches, stood ready to mount its own rescue with the entirety of its resources.

Vicegerent to the Warden

This ancient sentinel was accidentally roused in the course of excavation. In contrast to the temple guardian’s rough-hewn appearance, Which marks it as a product of early Beah dia, the vicegerent is a thing of precision created in the kingdoms later years. In this way, it is possible to appreciate the advances made in guardian construction techniques through out the ages.

History

The following changes were made with patch 7.2:

• The Avoirdupois enemies are now immobile and always spawn on the glowing tile. Previously, these enemies must be moved by the tank and defeated on the glowing tiles to open doors. If they were not defeated on a glowing tile, they would revive.
• Teratotaur:
  • The Triclip tankbuster now has a cast bar and standard red tankbuster indicator instead of being an instant attack.
  • The Dung Wespe spawns are now accompanied with a red combat message that was introduced in Dawntrail.
  • The Mortal Ray cast is now accompanied with a red combat message warning the player has been inflicted with Doom.
• Adjudicator:
  • Boss entirely overhauled.
  • Looming Judgment (telegraphed tankbuster) added.
  • Sun Juror adds removed.
  • Mythril Verges now get a stacking Haste debuff, increasing the rate of their AoEs.
  • Self-selection barriers on Mythril Verges have been removed. These were dark boxes around them that caused players outside the region to do reduced damage to them. Eventually, they would have sealed off and only allowed players inside the square to damage them.
  • Bind mechanic with four Mythril Verges added.
  • Darkness (a small telegraphed conal AoE) removed and replaced with Dark II (a massive telegraphed frontal conal AoE) and Dark (a telegraphed circle AoE on a random player).
  • Interruptable paralysis attack removed.
