The Chronoscope
From the Morgrave University archives -- "... the Chronoscope was build on a convergence line with the Outer Planes. It represents the height of Giant civilization, or at least a decent example of their borrowing from Argonnessen influences."
From the Morgrave University archives -- "Ancient fables speak of the Chronoscope teleporting Giant armies across Xen'drik during the Dreaming Dark war. But the Dragons of Argonnessen forbade any further use as a danger to the draconic Prophecy. It is unclear what threat such teleportation poses to the Prophecy."

What to Expect
- Spawning/re-spawning monsters
- Randomly placed NPCs (optional: 15 Stormreach Defenders)
Tips and Misc
- The quest has a minimum character level of 4; before then, Nolan Gann will not appear as a quest giver, neither visually nor on the mini-map. If interacted with, he appears as any other NPC, and simply says "My son was a street performer as well."
- Once in the quest, there are a couple of vendors inside of the Rusty Nail, that make it possible to buy Flametouched Iron weapons (Bastard Sword, Battleaxe, Dagger, Greataxe, Greatsword, Heavy Mace, Long Sword, Rapier, Scimitar, Short Sword which can be used for Cannith Crafting, and Arrows and Bolts), Spell Components, Ammunition, Resist Energy Potions (CL:7, 20 points) and to repair your gear.
- You can safely ignore the warning from Veheer that opening the Steam Tunnels will lock the raid – this only happens on Legendary.
- Useful item effects: DeathblockDeathblock: The wearer of this item is immune to all death spells and magical death effects., Resist Energies: Acid, Cold, and Fire. You'll want electric too on elite/epic.
- Useful buffs: Death Ward, Neutralize Poison, Resist Energies: Acid, Cold, and Fire
- Professor Tremas' name is most likely based on Tremas of Traken, an alternate identity of "The Master", the archenemy of main character in "Dr. Who", a TV show about time travel. Tremas is an anagram of Master.
- The Warforged guard Retcon is named after a literary term for an event where a writer changes a previously established fact in an earlier work.
- The name of one of the final demons "Tarvis" is very similar to "TARDIS", the time traveling machine in "Dr. Who".
- You can see Velah and Cydonie in the same tower as Veheer.
Epic Strategy
- It is common to skip a lot of the unnecessary mob encounters and go straight after Blood Plate as soon as you've reached the Phoenix tavern.
- Consider, there are five shrines in this quest and three boss encounters, and prepare with enough spell points before each boss encounter as appropriate.
- Once you've entered the Marketplace, you can cast Mass Invisibility on the group and haste towards the Blood Plate fight, though using this strategy will make it extremely difficult to get the mailbox treasure, so clearing at least until there is often a wise choice.
- During the battle against Blood Plate, casters should always keep crowd control spells up, and non-healers should clean out the arcane casters and armorers first before concentrating on the boss. Also cast cloud spells on the boss for the 20% attack miss chance.
- After killing Blood Plate head to the Phoenix Tavern for a chest. You can then cast Dimension Door or Mass Invisibility and head back to the Rusty Nail and further into the Steam Tunnels. Basic strategy is the same; casters keep mobs at bay with crowd control while melees concentrate on Razor Arm.
- For the final battle:
- If your group is lacking in AOE DPS/Healing ability, you may have someone kite the 5 red named abishai, and pick them off one by one. If not, you can simply gather them all up, AOE DPS, and AOE heal. Even on epic difficulty they should all die in under 30 seconds in a group that has a reasonable chance at winning against the devastator.
- Once the Conjoined Abishai Devastator has appeared, have a player tank it facing away from the party, so your party won't wipe when it spews fire breath. Any character with good HP, threat, and saving throws is good for this task. A character with Evasion and very high Reflex saves can be quite useful, but is not necessary.
- Whenever the Conjoined Abishai Devastator drops some harmful cloud effects, have your casters blow it away using Gust of Wind, Cyclonic Blast, or Break Enchantment. Break Enchantment scrolls are recommended as they will always work (if targeted correctly) and save spell points.
- Casters should attempt to keep Death Ward, Freedom of Movement, Greater Heroism, Haste and Rage going on for the tank all the time. Keep in the mind the Black Form can cast greater dispel and remove some of his buffs, so recasting them mid battle may be necessary.
- It is also common in epic raids to set healing rotations between the healers beforehand, so they don't over heal, and can stretch out their supply of spell points as long as possible to avoid needing to use mana potions.
- This is the only raid that won't block you from re-entering the final boss battle if you take an emergency leave with Dimension Door, so you can make good use of the one shrine inside the Rusty Nail, which can be helpful if your group is taking longer than expected.
- Once the Conjoined Abishai Devastator is downed, a cutscene begins where Tremas attempts to betray Suulomades, and fails miserably. Once this is over, you have sixty seconds to leave the tent before it is destroyed in a cataclysmic explosion. If you are inside the tent when this happens, you will be automatically killed.
- Being killed in the Tent by the explosion does deposit you outside, next to a Resurrection Shrine, so it's not a big loss, but it would be a silly way to lose the no-death bonus (or a Hardcore character.)
- Finally, the raid ends when one player heads back to the tavern and speaks with Veheer again.
