The Bastion Stair is a formidable dungeon located deep within the Chaos Wastes. This fortress, teeming with demons and mortal followers, serves as a bloody tribute to the Chaos God, Khorne. It is considered one of the most difficult dungeons in the game and is intended for level 40 players equipped with Vanquisher-tier gear or its equivalent. Successful runs award players with the powerful Bloodlord Set, which includes DPS-focused weapons and armor.

Entering the Dungeon

The dungeon is divided into three distinct wings. Killing the final boss of each wing grants influence.

• Teleport Scrolls: If your guild is at least level 32, you can purchase an instant teleport scroll from either Sigmar’s Hammer (Order) or The Viper Pit (Destruction).
• Manual Entry: For those who prefer to travel on foot:
  • Order: Fly to the Chaos Wastes, follow the PvE road south, and then head east to coordinates 64,000 / 60,000.
  • Destruction: Fly to Praag, follow the PvE road north, head to the Tomb of Deathsword PQ in the northeast, and continue following the small road north to the entrance.

Dungeon Basics

• Influence Rewards: Influence, which is used to acquire Bloodlord items, is only granted upon defeating the final boss of each wing. This incentivizes groups to skip optional bosses for a more efficient run.
• Gear Acquisition: Bloodlord Weapons are exclusively earned through influence. Bloodlord Armor can be obtained from boss drops and through repeatable quests.
• Repeatable Quests: Be sure to accept the blue repeatable quests in the first room of the dungeon. Completing these quests four times will guarantee you a set of Bloodlord Armor pieces. One of these quests also rewards the Stalwart Soulstone, which is used to purchase 7-day duration best-in-slot talismans for Sentinel or Triumphant rings.
• Quality-of-Life Teleports: An October 2024 patch added teleports to the dungeon. By right-clicking the skull objects at the entrance, players can teleport to an already-defeated boss, which is particularly useful for rejoining a group after a disconnection. There are a total of 8 teleports that can be activated, aligning with the sacred number of Khorne.
• Important Graphics Setting: Before starting the dungeon, it is highly recommended to set your graphics to “High” and ability effects to “Show All” to properly visualize boss mechanics and AoE attacks.
