Walkthrough
Players start with 10 minutes to free Vizu from the Spirit Binder, and gain 4 additional minutes for each soul freed.

This mission is comprised of a chain of rooms, each containing a Bound Hero boss, a number of Afflicted, and usually a few Temple Guardians. To proceed to the next room, the bound hero must be defeated, releasing the hero who will unlock the gate to the next room. Usually, the boss is not grouped with the surrounding afflicted, allowing the afflicted to be dispatched without encountering the boss. Likewise, Temple Guardians often are able to be pulled without drawing the attention of nearby afflicted. Thus, proper pulling techniques will increase the chance of survival. Beware of the Temple Guardians AoE attacks, as they can be devastating when stacked. Finally, with a boss in every room, Resurrection Signets are recharged often.

Bound Kitah (Room 1)
Pairs of Temple Guardians guard each door and can be pulled without aggro to nearby afflicted. A mix of afflicted monks, ritualists, and rangers reside in the center along with the mesmer hero, Kitah. It helps to kill casters first to keep them from resurrecting and healing their allies.

Bound Naku (Room 2)
This room has three pathways. The center contains the necromancer hero, Naku, along with Temple Guardians while the other two contain afflicted. Each group can be pulled separately, but it can be tricky to keep from coming into aggro range of others. The afflicted on the right fork may be ignored altogether if not aggroed.

Bound Teinai (Room 3)
Walkways surround a pitted courtyard in this room. In the pit, a group of mainly necromancer and warrior afflicted are led by the elementalist hero, Teinai. All of the afflicted save a single monk are grouped together, so it is very difficult to separate them. It is best to pull back, keeping Teinai far out of aggro range while keeping from being pincered between the oncoming afflicted. When facing Teinai, be very careful, as Sliver Armor may kill anyone nearby in seconds.

Bound Karei (Room 4)
Temple Guardians stand between the gates and a raised platform populated by afflicted and the monk hero, Karei. The four Temple Guardians on the floor may be pulled in pairs apart from the rest of the enemies and thus can be easily defeated. When taking on the platform group, it is advisable to eliminate the remaining two Temple Guardians first before finishing off the afflicted. In spite of being a monk, Karei falls quite easily under pressure.

Bound Jaizhanju (Room 5)
Afflicted warriors, monks, and elementalists guard the warrior hero, Jaizhanju, in this room. If pulled, the afflicted warriors will often be out of range of the monks towards the back. The main danger is the group of three afflicted elementalists that can cause heavy amaounts of damage if their fire is concentrated. There are two exits to this room, both guarded by a small group of afflicted. It is advised to kill both groups before moving on; otherwise, the untouched group will run into the next room, making the following fight much more difficult.

Bound Zojun (Room 6)
In the fourth room, four Temple Guardians stand between the gates and a raised platform on which afflicted and the ranger hero, Zojun, resides. It is again advised to pull and eliminate the Temple Guardians first before tackling the main group. Like the fourth room, focus on the remaining two Temple Guardians first when engaging the rest of the group and beware of the afflicted from the previous room running in if they were not previously killed.

Bound Kaolai (Room 7)
Oriented similarly to the fifth room, the danger of this room lies in the patrol of Afflicted Elementalists marching around the ritualist hero, Kaolai. They will often spike the same target; a high armored warrior or ranger (as it is elemental damage) should attempt to draw their initial volley of spells. A pair of Temple Guardians and another elementalist guard the exit gate and are easily aggroed during the battle. The elementalist may be pulled quite easily, but the Temple Guardians are sometimes more difficult. Also keep in mind that Kaolai casts the Restoration spirit, acting as an AoE resurrect if the afflicted are not pulled away from it.

Bound Vizu (Room 8)
The final room is a circular rim connected to a central island by four bridges. Each path is guarded by a pair of Temple Guardians, and afflicted rangers patrol both clockwise and counter-clockwise around the rim. In the center, a sizable group of afflicted led by the assassin hero, Vizu, await. To finish the mission, all afflicted on the central island and Vizu must be defeated. The Temple Guardians and surrounding afflicted may be left alone. It is best to clear a bridge to the center then pull the afflicted to the bridge, thus grouping them for AoE attacks and allowing warriors to body block. Should assassins wish to capture Vizu's elite, she needs to be defeated before the last afflicted is killed.
