Mission Walkthrough
You will have to defeat the four Celestials:


 * Hai Jii - Phoenix (Mesmer; point 1)
 * Tahmu - Dragon (Elementalist; point 2)
 * Kuonghsang - Turtle (Necromancer; point 3)
 * Kaijun Don - Kirin (Monk; point 4)

The Map Area window indicates the location of the four Celestials using star icons. You can take them in any order. If you want the Master's Reward, go in the order of Kaijun Don&rarr;Kuonghsang&rarr;Tahmu&rarr;Hai Jii.

Each Celestial is guarded by several Star Guardians; furthermore, when a Celestial is defeated, it spawns several Essences all over the area, both before you and behind you. This severely limits your retreat. Slain Essences will respawn if you retreat too far. Depending on your team's makeup, you may want to plan on what you don't want to fight beforehand: Essence of Phoenix, Essence of Turtle, Essence of Dragon, or Essence of Kirin.

A common mistake made by new teams is to assume that the Kirin spawns will be healers, since they are Monks. This causes a lot of teams to leave Kaijun Don for last. This is foolish, since the Kirin are actually Smiting Monks, and not very dangerous ones at that. The most dangerous spawns to an average team are, the Mesmer spawns of Hai Jii, who use Conjure Phantasm, and can quickly out-degen your healers.

If you are not attempting the Master's Reward, an almost surefire method is as follows. Begin near Kaijun Don and kill off all of the Star Guardians, but leave the boss alive. Repeat with Kuonghsang, Tahmu and Hai Jii. Once the Star Guardians are clear, retrace your steps, killing the Celestials and their Essences along the way.

Tips for Masters

 * This mission is considerd by many one of the harder ones to obtain the Master's Reward, which must be done in under 25 minutes.
 * A group of 2 MM's, 2 Casters, 2 Healers, 1 Tank, and 1 Other often works very well. There are enough corpses to keep the MM's with enough minions, and in a mission like this, firepower is a must.
 * It is recomended that one starts with the Kirin (location 4) and work towards the Phoenix (location 1).
 * A quick group should be able to defeat the first two bosses in under 8 minutes.
 * Kill the turtle essences first as you see them in groups, as they use the corpse which takes away from the MM's ability to control an army.
 * Notable shortcuts are visable on the attached Map. Take note of the path between locations 3 and 2 as well as the sharp turn to the North at location 3, the dragon. With going north here, up to three minutes can be shaved off of the time as there are less monsters to deal with.
 * At the last boss, it is not nessicary to kill all those around him. Simply killing the last boss will complete the mission.
