==Progression==
The party starts in a hallway. As a force field initially blocks the way to the Security Deck, they must take a teleporter to the History Gallery. As they pass the exhibits, they must fight through various Allagan automatons. The final exhibit room contains the first boss, the Phantom Ray, a mechanical multi-armed samurai. Defeating it allows access to the Soldiery Gallery.
This exhibit hall contains many chimerical monsters, some patrolling the halls. Defeating their way through shabti, empuse, ixsalion, nagas, and a chimera allows access to a room containing a Minotaur. This second boss fights with an axe, and the party must distract it by freeing nearby failed creations if it tries to use 1000-tonze Swing.
Once the Minotaur is defeated, a teleporter takes them back to the entrance hall, where the force field has shut down. Now in the immense security deck, they can reach the target platform in the center by defeating security forces and using control panels to disable the force field. At the center lies the last boss, the Curator, a robotic griffin-like entity. Defeating it completes the instance.
