Walkthrough
The quest does not contain any markers to indicate the direction of the boss, though the way mobs are distributed makes it fairly obvious.

You will need to battle through several mobs of Charr on your way to the boss. Leading up to the temple, you will face groups of about 2-10 Charr each, some of which are level 20, and some of which are the level 8's normally residing in the area. Most of the groups are composed of Charr Seekers and Charr Blademasters (Rangers and Warriors). Patrolling around the temple itself are more balanced groups of level 20 Charr, similar to those found in the Eye of the North storyline.

The Charr leader you are to assassinate usually resides at the top of the temple, overlooking the entrance to Dragon's Gullet (players may recognize this location as the same place native Tyrians had to reach to recover Althea's Ashes). Note that this is not always the case. The Leader is accompanied by a Charr Prophet, some Charr Flame Lords, and a Charr Hexreaper. The fight is not difficult at all with the proper team setup; remember as usual to take out healers first.

The mission will end 20 seconds after the boss dies. If you die you will have to start the mission again, there are no active res shrines in this mission unlike the other Eye of the North missions.
