This is an augmentation event in the first Frostcrypt raid expedition.
The event is triggered by walking into one of the highlighted areas of this map.
A frigid wind howls through the crypt and many of the torches on the wall blow out. As the wind dies and the last torch sputters out you sense the dead around you begin to stir.
Steps:
You pick up 1 ground spawn torch (Lore); then go to either of the two lit mounted torches to the south (that you passed initially to enter the area).
Keep the Abandoned Crypt Torch on your cursor, face the lit mounted torch and press U (see in game options for "Use Centerscreen")
On success you will see yellow text in System Message filter: "Your torch bursts into flames! Now you can light another torch!"
If you fail by clicking twice you see the System Message "A ghostly breeze blows out your torch just as it catches flame. Try again in a moment!".
You may also get this message if too many zombies are beating on you as you click, unsure.
If you get that message, put the Abandoned Crypt Torch in a bag and then back to your cursor, and then click on the other of the two lit mounted torches to light it successfully.
Then go to any of the unlit mounted torches, hold the Abandoned Crypt Torch on your cursor, face the unlit mounted torch, and press U again.
On success you will see "Your fragile torch disintegrates as it lights the torch on the wall! Around you the attacking shades grow a bit weaker in the brighter light."
The unlit mounted torch will now have a blue flame, indicating that it is lit.
Repeat 40 times
Notes:
You cannot light a lit mounted torch. doing so will give the System Message "You can't light a torch that is already lit!"
You cannot light a Abandoned Crypt Torch by clicking on an unlit mounted torch that was previously lit in this event
If you stray outside the southern corridor to the crypt, or north into the Lorekeeper room then the event resets
Each Abandoned Crypt Torch groundspawn has a 55 second respawn timer
There are 7 Abandoned Crypt Torch groundspawns
After the event is triggered, a horde of zombies attacks the raid. They continue to do so up until the named spawns.
a fortified zombie (mezzable)
a raging zombie (not mezzable)
a resilient zombie (mezzable)
Misc Info:
In the surrounding rooms you'll find ground spawns called "Abandoned Crypt Torch". Using these, light all the wall lanterns throughout the crypt.
Every time you pick up a torch ground spawn, you have to go back up to the top of the hallway and click on an existing lit wall torch to "light" your own torch. You do not need to equip it. Upon using a torch you see:
Your fragile torch disintegrates as it lights the torch on the wall! Around you the attacking shades grow a bit weaker in the brighter light.
Once a majority of the lanterns are lit (reported to be 40 out of 47), Gravelord Cotas spawns and attacks. He hits for ~8,000; flurries; and enrages. He does not cast any spells.
Gravelord Cotas has been slain by _____!
Your faction standing with Ancestors of Valdeholm got worse.
Your faction standing with Valdeholm Citizens got better.
Your faction standing with Wraithguard Leadership got better.
