Ancient Sacred Mountain Pyroculus Locations and Route Guide

The Ancient Sacred Mountain is one of two new areas of Natlan added in Patch 5.5. There are a total of 22 Pyroculus available in this area.

It is recommended to first complete the current Archon Quest and the World Quest series Chronicler of the Crumbling City before collecting any remaining Pyroculus. All of the Pyroculus, from surface level to subsequent, are locked behind the following pre-requisite World Quests:

• [Atocpan] Investigator of Ancient Ruins
• [Atocpan] Nahuatzin's Leap
• [Ancient Sacred Mountain] Chronicler of the Crumbling City

The map provided below has two main layers: the surface level, as well as the Dragons' Residence. After progressing through the World Quest series in this area, players can also access the Chamber of Deliberation and the Heart of the Sacred Mountain.

As there are many elevation levels to the Ancient Sacred Mountain, players are highly encouraged to follow the numbered order on the map provided, or mark Pyroculus as they progress through the Chronicler of the Crumbling City World Quest series.

Players are highly recommended to make use of the local Tatankasaurus, Qucusaurs, and other Saurians to make travelling around and resolving Nightsoul mechanics easier. Alternatively, players can also use Natlan-exclusive characters who have a relevant Nightsoul's Blessing.

For nearby Pyroculus not shown below, please check out the other guides available on Icy Veins!

Farming Route for Ancient Sacred Mountain and its sub-areas will be coming soon.
