  7. Fire the incubation vessel in the spouts of flame in Arlyxir's room:
    • To do this you need to stand on one of the grates (e.g. ( 0, 102, -80 ) Copy) in the middle as it lights up. Repeat four times.
    • Each firing will throw you into the air, and you will take massive (~80-90%) damage. Heal as needed.
      • Unless you happen to be naked, in which case you may not take any damage...
    • Warning: Don't get knocked into the flame walls or lava, you'll die.
  8. Collect Arlyxir's Ashes within the newly created vessel. Harvest from pile of glowing ashes in center of Arlyxir's room, at ( 10, 105, -81 ) Copy.

      Place Incubation Vessel

    • Stay on the rim of cauldron and wait for flame-sparks to "collide" with it to super-heat it. When its hot enough a baby phoenix will hatch.
    • Wait for the knockback. This knockback and the ~99% damage are necessary to "empower the seal".
    • If you notice when you get close to the sparks it says they flee from you. What you are supposed to do here is run around outside the cauldron on the floor herding the sparks into the cauldron so that when they flee from you they collide in it. You do this right you won't be anywhere near the cauldron when a baby Phoenix emerges and will receive no damage at all. So you just chase them in.
    • Once the baby Phoenix has been born run up to the rim of the cauldron and empower the seal.
    • Run away. (if you stay too close, you'll be eaten by the now hungry phoenix).
