Once freed, Pyre's warband sacked the cathedral, looking for anything of value. In their search, they unearthed a blocked passage. Clearing the debris revealed a stash of treasure plundered from Ascalonian ruins... but there was more. The spirits of those slain for these spoils of war had attached themselves to the treasure, haunting the vaults. Worse yet, a powerful Necromancer named Murakai dwelt among them. She used the creatures' unliving essence to create a storm of souls, which she planned to unleash upon human and Charr alike. It fell to us to lay these disembodied spirits to rest and to suspend Murakai's wrath, if only for a time.

Notes

The Guild Wars 2 Wiki has an article on Cathedral of Flames Gate.

• This is the only place where Golden Rin Relics and Diessa Chalices are dropped.
• Corpses of Charr can be found throughout all three levels.
• Completion of this dungeon will fill in page #3 of the Master Dungeon Guide storybook.

Anomaly.The Bone Fiends and Servant of Murakai in the final room are not vulnerable to skills that affect summoned creatures, even though they are identified as being summoned.

Bug.There are several rare bugs that can prevent the party from completing the dungeon:

• Level 1: The Keeper (and minions) can spawn behind the door to the next level, making them impossible to kill without enough ranged damage.
• Level 3: If the Keymaster of Murakai is allowed to travel all the way back to its resting point, the dungeon key may drop over the edge of the lava stream, making it unreachable.

Bug.Some foes do not consistently engage the party as expected:

• Level 1:
  • The group of Charr near the area map may get stuck in the wall.
  • Leaving Faze Magekiller just out of the Danger Zone will leave him friendly and his group will attack him.
  • After The Keeper is defeated, the mobs that subsequently spawn do not attack unless engaged, even if they are inside the aggro bubble.
• Level 2:
  • Leaving Tyndir Flamecaller just out of the Danger Zone will leave him friendly and his group will attack him.
  • The Master and his minions sometimes spawn behind the door to the third level, making them harder to kill.

Anomaly.Despite being collectors, Dextarr Dirtdigger and Lars Bridgeater do not have [Collector] appended to their names, and do not appear on the mission map.

Bug.There are graphical display errors when standing in certain parts of the room with Murakai.
