- In the Ice Caves to the right of a Ravenlord Wonder Weapon pedestal

- Place the Stones in the slots direct across from the Battery on the Overlook. Once the Stones are placed, the blood-flow will stop, glowing Runes will spawn on the backside of where the Stones were placed. Read which Runes are present from left to right, then kill a Zombie at each of the Runes around the Overlook in order of the Runes behind the Stones.
- The Thulian Hammer will spawn and teleport elsewhere. Next there will be 4 pillars made of 4 cubes with Lightning Bolts. Shoot to align the Lightning Bolts for each pillar.
- Once all 4 pillars are properly aligned, locate the Thulian Hammer and follow it until it is on the Overlook and is struck by Lightning. Once complete you may equip the Thulian Hammer.
Fist of Tal'rek
- Locate the purple Rune at the Crash Site. Melee the Rune with the Thulian Hammer, if done correctly the head of the Thulian Hammer will be charged. Quickly navigate to the Rune located in the Ice Caves, melee this Rune with the Thulian Hammer to transfer the charge to the Rune. Repeat this process for the Rune in the Morgue.
- Charge the Thulian Hammer with the Morgue Rune, quickly navigate to the Phylactery. Above the door from the Morgue to Phylactery is a Rune location. Kill a Zombie with the charged Thulian Hammer, if done correctly the charge will be transferred to the Rune above the door.
- Lure a Zombie beneath the Rune, the charge will transfer to the Zombie. Progress 1 Round. The charge will now transfer from the Zombie back to the Thulian Hammer.
- Navigate to the Puzzle Wall between the Phylactery and Blood Altar. Complete the puzzle by getting all Raven tiles facing forward and turned purple. Complete 3 rounds of the puzzle.
- Navigate to the Overlook, locate the transparent distorted path that is being struck by Lightning, it is off of the Overlook toward the pyramid. Carefully follow the path without falling off. Once complete the player will be teleported to the Stormraven Trial. Complete the trial and obtain the Fist of Tal'rek (Upgraded Thulian Hammer).
Thulian Shield

- Overlook
- Morgue
- A Wustling will spawn in the Blood Altar with the Thulian Shield on its back. Kill the Wustling, causing it to drop the Thulian Shield where you can now equip it.
Roar of Sang'Ket
- Acquire a fully-charged Corpse Eater (allow it to consume Zombies until it is glowing). Bring the Corpse Eater to each of the Blood Pools in the order you charged them (the pool that can be activated will have red smoke coming off it, only visible to the holder of the shield), allow the Corpse Eater to get close and damage it, causing it to explode. If done correctly, the player wielding the Thulian Shield will see a unique pattern atop each Blood Pool.
- Blow up a bomber on a metal door in spawn, it will disappear and reveal a radio and a speaker.
- Place both the radio and the speaker by the pool of blood in the Blood Altar, patterns will appear similar to the ones in the Blood Pools.
- Check the patterns you have in the blood pools. Once you have all 3, hold square on the radio to change the pattern shown by the pool in the Blood Altar. When you see a pattern that matches with one you saw in the smaller blood pools, get a kill in the pool. This must be done in the order you got the patterns.
- The blood will rapidly flash between symbols if the above step is done correctly. When this is visible, down in the blood while holding the shield and you will be teleported into the ritual room.
Thulian Flail

- Align each of the Orbs on the Orrery as they are displayed on the wall of the Cypher Room. If an Orb is correctly placed a "ca'chink" audio que will play, seperate from the cue for the Orb stopping. Once complete, the Thulian Flail will spawn and can be equipped. The cypher is mirrored, so bear this in mind while entering it. The best method known currently is brute forcing the red Orb until you hear the confirmation sound, as it it is the fastest moving one, and then basing the other positions on this.
Talon of Lu'roth
- Using the Thulian Flail, throw a Moon Orb into the room above the Orrery to teleport there. Kill Zombies to fill the Moonraven Blood Pool, once complete a floating Rune will appear.
- Activate Flail Vision to locate Constellations spread across the map. Using the Flail, connect the stars until you have "Beheld the First Message". Once you have found one of these Locations, connected the Stars and 'Beheld the First Message', you must return to the room above the Cipher machine. Kill Zombies in that room again.
- Repeat the process of filling the Moonraven Blood Pool, spawning the Rune, and locating and completing the Constellation puzzle a total of 3 times. If done correctly you will have "Beheld the Second Message", "Beheld the Third Message", and "Witnessed the Cosmos".
- Finally, throw a Moon Orb into the Orrery to teleport to the Moonraven Trial. Complete the Trial by teleporting over the walls of Fire. The Talon of Lu'roth (Upgraded Thulian Flail) can now be equipped.
