Walkthrough

 * Speak to Olaf Olafson in Olafstead to initiate the mission.
 * Head north, as indicated by the star on your map.
 * Just before reaching your destination, you will approach some doors, which will open for you.
 * In this room there are 4-5 pop-up groups of 2 destroyers per group. They are fairly easy to kill. Once you kill these groups your quest log will update.
 * Talk to the Shrine of the Raven Spirit to obtain the skill Raven Blessing.
 * Head south back out of the room, and follow the groups of Destroyers, killing them as you go.
 * The best approach is to take out the Destroyer Tremors first. Try to spread your party if encountering any Destroyer of Hordes, as they use Barrage, typically backed up by a Destroyer of Hope using Order of Pain.
 * An interrupt ranger or mes to counter the Destroyer Tremor ele damage is also useful.
 * Once you reach Level 2 of the dungeon, talk to Olaf Olafson if you want the Raven Blessing skills again.
 * Possibly a bug, but there is no compass pointer/indicator on this level, and on level 3.
 * Level 2 comprises of mainly Scourge Vaettir, Shadow Vaettir, and Mist Vaettir. Kill the Scourge Vaettir first, as they use Scourge Healing which makes life hard for your monks.
 * Head in a North-West direction in Level 2 to get to the portal to Level 3 of the dungeon - not very far.
 * Warning: At the beginning of Level 3, it will appear you can go left or right (right is the shorter route) facing 2 Destroyers either way you go. However when you aggro 1 group, some more will pop up, and the other side aggro's as well - which can take even the best players by surprise.  Be ready, again attacking the Destroyer Tremors first, followed by the Destroyer of Hordes Barragers.
 * Head in a due south direction. You will quickly reach a resurrection shrine, past which you can see an Asura Gate blocked by some more Destroyers.  Beware of additional Destroyers pop-ups in this area.  Attack the destroyers first, and don't try and run to attack the Asura Gate.
 * After killing all of the Destroyers, attack and destroy the Central Transfer Chamber Asura Gate.
 * A cut-scene will take place between Olaf and Ogden.
 * At the end of the cut-scene you are returned to Olafstead.
