How To Earn Anima Conductor Rewards in Shadowlands: Kyrian
The puzzle will require that you move from the steps to the treasure with the debuff active and with a series of ground effects in your way. The ground effects must be avoided as touching any of them will send you back to the beginning of the puzzle.
It’s best to start from the stairs as it is a more direct approach to the end goal. If the Burden of Penitence is located far from the steps, you can step on a ground effect to be sent to the steps and begin the puzzle in a better spot.
Static ground effects are pretty simple to avoid as they do not alter course and can be walked around without much issue. The moving effects are the more difficult obstacles to avoid as they can change direction randomly.
Do your best to make your way to the treasure and you will be rewarded. Rewards are random and usually yield a few vendorable greys worth some gold and anima items, though it’s possible to yield green- and blue-quality gear items, conduits, and small quest items. You are also guaranteed to receive two Grateful Offering.
Two of the more major prizes with a very low chance to drop are the Phalynx of Humility mount and Purity’s Edge Greatblade two-handed sword.
Temple of Courage Anima Stream
Anima stream two opens up a battle with Wingflayer the Cruel who can be found in Xandria’s Vigil, just outside of the Temple of Courage. To summon him, interact with the Horn of Courage found on the table there.
Wingflayer the Cruel is a very tough enemy to solo and spawns just down the stairs from the horn. His mechanics can be difficult but it is the onslaught of never-ending adds that make the fight so hard. To lower the difficulty, it may be better to pull him out from stairs and up toward the area where the horn is located to diminish the amount of adds you’ll have to deal with at one time.
Killing Wingflayer the Cruel gets you the usual assortment of greys, Anima items, random green/blue armor and weapons, and occasionally some Conduits. One of the more interesting drops is the Regurgitated Kyrian Wings, which are a one-time use item that propels you up into the air and allows you to slow fall safely to the ground.
Of course, you will also receive two Grateful Offering for your troubles.
Tier 2
By upgrading the Anima Conductor to tier 2, you’ll get two new streams. Just like the others, streams are only open for 24-hours without being reinforced.
Tier 2 gives you access to a new World Quest (Temple of Humility) and two new Daily Quests (Eternal Forge).
Temple of Humility Anima Stream
You and you alone can see the world quest on your map as well as partake in its rewards. The rewards tend mostly to be anima but can also be conduits or gear. Completing the quest will earn you three Grateful Offerings as well as 125 reputation with The Ascended.
Eternal Forge Anima Stream
Just like the world quest, the daily quests are for you and no one else. The daily quests will rotate between three NPCs —Kofi, Forgelight Selene, and Galakamos, and will be random. Reinforcing the Eternal FOrge stream will unlock two rotating daily quests per day. The rewards are also random but you are guaranteed three Grateful Offerings per quest completed.
Tier 3
Two final anima streams are opened once you unlock tier 3. Access is granted to either one daily Kyrian-specific enhancement buff (Eonian Archives) or the chance to tackle a powerful foe (Citadel of Loyalty).
Eonian Archives Anima Stream
Choosing the enhancement will provide your character with a 24-hour buff that persists through death and cannot be cancelled. Only one can be chosen per day, is locked to only your covenant’s zone (in this case Bastion), and should help you tackle tasks within the zone pretty easily.
