If outsiders were ever again seen in the caverns it was [to be] a sign of prophecy.
 

Background[]

Throughout the dormant volcano, aptly named 'Solusek's Eye' in honor of the sun-god Solusek Ro, the power of the Burning Prince courses through it's denizens. Legions of goblins, flame-golems, and efreeti bar passage to the deeper reaches of the pit. They themselves are safeguarded by the souls of foolish explorers and the manifested fury of the fiery mountain itself. Yet it is in the domain of the Guardians of Thyr, cruel fire-giants with burning eyes, where the most precious secrets are kept and the most powerful reside. An adventurer's only aid is found near the front door in the form of witless gnomes. Courage is no ally here: it is through the cold hand of fate that anything of value will be obtained from a visit into the fiery depths.

Solusek's Eye, together with Permafrost, are the final dungeons of classic EverQuest II. When EQII first came out back in 2004, Solusek's Eye would cause major performance problems for older computers as the zone has many large open areas with period-appropriate detailed visuals.

Entrance[]

  • From Lavastorm: ( -327, 84, -153 ) Copy

To get to Solusek's Eye for the first time, take the horse to the Dragon's Breath Tunnel, follow the tunnel up, and walk along the edge of the lava pool to the door to the dungeon. Alternatively, you can simply scale the exterior of the volcano on your mount.

Outside the door to the dungeon, step on the teleporter cog at ( -327, 85, -185 ) Copy, which will reduce travel time to Solusek's Eye in the future. After doing this you may use the teleporter gear within the Shrine of Thunder to teleport directly here.

Geographic Walkthrough[]

All named monsters are listed in order that you will most likely encounter them.

If you are doing the To Speak As a Dragon quest, you can skip to Flame Lord Thyr at the end (no killing required unless lower levels). Kill all the mobs in the instance (including in the lava pit) then hail him. Summon your mercenary if not already up then hail him again - he will put you in a cage and your merc will help you target him to kill him. Once dead, you can exit from the door where you just killed him to continue.

Named Monsters[]

Domain of the Fire Giants (Level 6)[]

  • Elevator back up to the Path of Lava: ( -48, -509, 97 ) Copy
  1. At the first fork, ( -176, -559, 230 ) Copy, there is a right path that leads to the Infernal Forge of Ages and a left path that leads to to continuation of the dungeon.
    • At the first fork on the right path, ( -39, -595, 182 ) Copy, the building on the right houses Lord Nagalik and the path forward continues to Armorsmith Gravik, Weaponsmith Thaydor, and the Infernal Forge of Ages.
  2. The left path will have led you to inside a building whose exit doors at ( -312, -595, 188 ) Copy, appear to drop off into nothing. Use the switch on the door frame slightly above the location listed to control an elevator. To use the elevator, right click on it and select up or down to bring the elevator to you, but after hitting it, do not move until the casting bar disappears. To go up or down after the elevator has arrived, use the button outside again, wait for the casting bar, then get on elevator (It will wait a few secs for you to get on). Taking the elevator up will lead you to the rest of the dungeon, while taking it down will lead you to Searing Ember and a curiously vacant chamber.
    • If you took the elevator down, use the switch at ( -319, -642, 181 ) Copy to get back up.
  3. After taking the elevator up, the only direction is forward. The next choice will come at ( -104, -615, -290 ) Copy. Jump down to the rocks and then to the ramp directly below the given location. This ramp leads to the Oratorium of Thyr.
    • Warning: There is no way back at this point. You must teleport out or commit suicide to leave. (Update: If you go in to The Oratorium of Thyr and come back out you will be standing at the point before jumping down to reach The Oratorium of Thyr.)
    • Revised (17/05/2021 - iamvegana (server AB)) If you are at this point and you want to go back without dying, enter the door into Oratorium of Thyr and then turn around and exit again. It will take you to the same place you were just before you jumped down to the rocks.
  4. Progress through the Oratorium of Thyr. If clicking on Flame Lord Thyr fails to invoke a response, target him and type /hail and make sure your view is tilted up to see the speech bubbles. After a mini-event where you kill him and his two guards you can then exit through the back doors. Make sure you have some kind of range attack because he will cage you.
  5. Continue down the ramp to the Gong of Ro. This is the entrance to Nagafen's Lair, but can only be entered if on a quest to speak with him.
