The Five Temples of Orr: Temple of Lyssa

Excerpt from Thelemic Influence Hunt (Every Tuesday, Darkhaven Server 21.00 GMT+7)

Cathedral of Eternal Radiance is a temple dedicated to the twin Gods of Illusion Lyssa, it's located on Malchor's Leap, east of Straits of Devastation, on it's current condition the temple is a major battlefield where you must attack and defend some spot on the temple before engaging the Risen High Priestess of Lyssa itself. The circular layout of the temple is a deathtrap, filled with endless spawned Risen, Spectrals, and Abominations and you'll be constantly harassed by the risen catapults erected around the temple

There are three points that must be defended from the horde of risen, they are:

A. Protect the Pact golems until they charge the neutralizer device
This event located in the northwest corner of the temple, there are several golems here, most of them are offline, you must click the glowing tower surrounded the area and throw the charging orb into the golems, they'll come alive and will continue gathering the charge for the neutralizing device, in this moment you'll be attacked by several risen, just keep them away from the golems, after the neutralizing device fully charged the event is completed

B. Defeat the Risen forces before they construct fortifications around the Seal of Union
The Seal of union containing Lyssa Waypoint is on the northeast corner of the map, ignore the risen if you can, all you have to do is destroy the ribcages around the waypoint after it's fully destroyed the waypoint become uncontested and you can use it. It's essential to rally all people from the area.

Additional Information: on the defend the waypoint event after you claim it, there will be a champion Risen Wraith that can FEAR you so you'll fall out of the platform into the body of water below (or landed on the bottom floor if you're not that lucky), it's annoying to go around and get into the waypoint again (which will be contested during the event) so all you have to do is kill it quickly while prevent him to contruct more ribcages

C.Defend the Seal of Lyss until the Pact cannon is online
This is the last and most difficult takedown event on this meta, there are three NPC that must be resurrected and protected while they contruct the cannon, unfortunately they will take their time, sometimes abandoning it to engage newly spawned risen, keep the risen away from them at all costs especially the Veteran Abominations with stacked frenzy, it can take a long time, depending on how you perform well on keeping the risen away from the NPC

Only after completing all these events you can engage the corrupted priestess of Lyssa

D.  Legendary Fight: Kill the Corrupted High Priestess
Here you go, have a go with the priestess, she's located in the center of the temple, she can evade, block, blink, daze, running around, but her attacks doesn't really damaging, it's just annoying. BEWARE: every now and then the three seal that you claimed will be attacked again, don't let it fail! just don't! send a defend team or split your party (see additional information above), if one seal failed the priestess will be invulnerable and reset and so you must liberate the seal once again before engaging her.

And every now and then too the corrupted priestess will use his ultimate attack (Corrupted Gaze), everyone that is facing her will be dazed continuously it has a long range and she'll be completely invulnerable during this moment, so face away from her, easy? nah, she'll summon a LOT of risen during this moment and they'll out for your blood, you must engage these while not facing her, a mesmer can use his fourth focus skill to dislocate the risen, use a lot of AOE, when the Corrupted Gaze ended she'll be vulnerable again, just remember that she has a lot of HP.

When she's downed (after 10 mins or so) the temple will be cleansed, chest will spawn, and Lightbringer Brutefur will open up his karma shop for you, Lyssa has a good superior rune that you should check out, on the 5th rune you can activate elite skill to gain all boons and lose all condition, it's an awesome choice for any profession.
