Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Factions Walkthrough Part 23 – Scholia Arcana Part 5: Lightning In A Bottle

Head out of the Rathir Chapter and then Fast Travel to Gloamthicket in Galafor. Head to the southwestern portion of Galafor to find the passage up to the Storm Crown. Deal with the pair of Ettins that guard the passage up to Skycrown and it will be smooth sailing to reach the entrance.

Skyscrown
Head to the southwest. When you reach the first chamber within, you will need to fight two Wolves, an Ettin Brute and Shaman. Be careful that you stay wary on the edges of the inner part of the chamber. There are a number of Lightning Mines around it. Follow the path to the northwest from there.

Head across the bridge at the top of the stairs. Now keep to the center to avoid four Lightning Mines that line the edges of it. Head to the circular part of the bridge and you have three Ettin Brutes you need to deal with. Now continue to the northeast. Be very careful where the bridge narrows in this part as it is has four lightning mines. Head up the slope and around the stone pillar. On the other side of it, you need to watch for sets of three Lightning Mines at two points. The easy solution is to just dash on up to the door. When you reach the door five Sprites (one of which is a Storm Champion) will spawn and attack you.

Head through the stairs into the next room at a run. This will make it easier to avoid all the mines that line the entry way to the room. When you cross the center of the room you will encounter another group of Five Sprites, again one is a Storm Champion, will spawn. Deal with them then head to the northeast, going up the stairs to the next room.

In this final room, there is a Warded chest with some nice gear. Strangely, only a single Lightning Mine in this room. Just head on to the door on the far side and go through it.

Skycrown Peak
Be careful up here. When get the first pair of Ettin's attention (who are both tough) you will also pull a pack of four wolves. As you head to the east, you will likely draw another Ettin Warpriest to you. Work your way to the south and west. You will encounter another pair of Ettin Shaman and Brute with three wolves. As you turn to the south to start toward the destination you have a single Ettin Shaman to the north nearby the jump points.

Head to the south to find Engar who reveals that he has been struggling against the Entity. He blasts himself with a massive amount of Lightning and you need to now head down to the base and collect Engar's body. Head back to the jump point, hop down, loot the skeleton and chest on that level, then just back to the cave entrance. Now dash down the corridors and return to base of the mountain.

Recover Engar's Body
This is easiest way to do this is if you have the Caer Tosai Fast Travel (or anything in Western Kandrian). You will find Engar's body at the far southwestern point of that map. When you get here, it is hard to miss as there is a burned path on the ground. The eneity reveals itself to be the Empyrean. You need to quickly kill Engar and he will, of course, summon four Sprites to help with a Storm Champion in their number. Once you defeat all of them, loot Engar's Body to receive the Sun and Storm Stones. Time to head back to Rathir and talk with Savant Eran Methneen.
