With a Heart of Fear
When you finish "Through Gnomish Eyes", your final update came from picking up a torn journal page on the road near an Amygdalan Sculptural Well, at +208 +60 +23.
For your reference: Shard of Fear map
This quest begins when you read the smudged note.
"I have learned that the Amygdalan statues are a place of sacrifice. U watched as one beast was placed on the dais and sacrificed in the name of Cazic-Thule. He almost seemed proud of the act about to be carried out."
1. I must investigate the sacrificial wells and try to learn their significance.
You may as well start with the one right beside you, at +258 +59 -26.
Clear the Thulian Berserkers (in pairs, 73^^ and 73^^^). When you kill the Thulian Caller (73^^^) at each side of the triskele-shaped altar, the corpse is persistent. Have a very tough member of your party drag the corpse to the small round dais in the center of the altar. The corpse will appear red as you move it, and turns green when you are in the right place. You usually have to stand right on the center altar in order to place it correctly.
Immediately afterwards, a Frightflyer will spawn (73^^^).
Defeat it and "You hear a loud pounding as a heart appears at the center of the altar."
Repeat the process twice more, and a cute little pudding-like ooze will appear in the center of the altar. Pick it up - this is a heart of fear. Your quest will update.
2. I must investigate the sacrificial wells and try to learn their significance.
The other altar is in the eastern part of the zone, past the Scareling Bogs, at -297 +21 +190. Use the same process as before and collect another heart of fear.
3. We must continue to explore and battle the minions of fear that dwell in this place.
In fact, all you need to do now is run up to the portal tower near the wall of fire. It is in Terrock's Bite, at +130 0 -327.
There are two braziers in front of the tower. Use them to offer up the two hearts you just collected.
Suddenly the filmy red barrier blocking the tower door vanishes, revealing a trio of large, nasty Spinechiller Spiders (each is 72^^^). Assuming you manage to squish them into piles of goo, you may now enter the tower, and swim down the well in the middle.
You will suddenly find yourself in the courtyard of the Shrine of Thule, on the other side of the fiery wall! There are a lot of mobs nearby, of course, so make sure tanks go first, and that everyone stands still when they come through, till they get their bearings.
By now your quest journal should have updated: "I have been ported behind the wall of fire, to the Shrine of Thule!"
Your task list now reads: "We could easily be overwhelmed by the minions of fear that reside at the Shrine of Thule."
No kidding. The mobs are hefty and plentiful. In addition to the stationed Amygdalans, there are more that patrol the area. Frightflyers lining the pyramid walls and Glare Lords lurking at the four corners complete the picture for you. All are 72 and 73 ^^ and ^^^ mobs.
You should still have 3 heart of fear and 3 corrupted mind in your inventory from the quest "Through Gnomish Eyes". You will need these now. First, clear all the wandering mobs and those from the front of the pyramid.
Note that there are eight large firepots on the front of the pyramid; four on each side. You need to activate six of them with the hearts and minds you brought in with you.
These spawn the massive creature "Terror" on the top of the pyramid. He is a 76^^^ Epic x2 mob. Good luck!
Your quest will end when Terror falls...
