Rite of the Nine Variant
Youcannotget the Navigator catalyst from the Rite of the Nine version of this dungeon, regardless of the difficulty you choose.
Your goal is to locate three dead Ghost piles during the dungeon’s platforming sections and defeat a hidden boss. Each pile you interact with will grant the Vestige of Light buff for 90 seconds. You must find a statue to deposit the Vestige at. If done correctly, a Lucent Acolyte named Thul-Ar, Acolyte of Nokris will spawn.
Thul-Ar will display a symbol above their head before spawning a trio of major-tier Hive. Near the majors will be a symbol next to a wall. You need to kill the mob that’s next to Thul-Ar’s symbol. If done correctly, a pool of Hive energy will spawn on their corpse, allowing you to damage Thul-Ar. If you don’t kill the correct unit, the symbol will reset and the adds will respawn. Repeat for all three dead Ghost piles to acquire the catalyst.
