Guild Wars 2 - Flashpoint: Heart of the Volcano (Story)

On entering the instance, you find yourself in a caldera with a variety of roaming Destroyers, an energy barrier (a dome-shaped structure) in the center, and (3) Barrier Anchors around the edges. Taimi provides you with a scanner that enables the release of balls of Dragon energy from the barrier which can be collected and used (in air) to destroy the anchors. While numerous, the Destroyers are nuisances that distract from the main task. Once the anchors have been destroyed, the barrier vanishes and allows you to drop to the next lower level of the caldera. This sequence occurs 3 times. At the third level, all remaining Destroyers vanish on the destruction of the first anchor, making completion of this level much easier. On dropping down to the lowest level, you find a central platform with Taimi's device (Omadd's machine?) being manipulated by Balthazar. After a short cut-scene, Balthazar unleashes his hounds against you. Both hounds need to be killed (from the ground) and then destroyed by using Dragon energy from the air. This energy is released from Taimi's device via the scanner, with the energy balls collected in air, then targeted to the "dead" hound before its health can be restored. Once both hounds and Taimi's device have been destroyed, the instance ends.

Within the caldera, Gliding does NOT work as expected. The entirety of the caldera is filled with hot, RISING air that imparts a significant "lift" to all gliders, which quickly raises you "out of range" of your target.
