Xin'naxxus

Xin'naxxus (otherwise known as the fallen God Complex of Valhallus) is a raid introduced in A Legend's Legacy: Risen Sun, and serves as the pinnacle raid of Patch X-37: Into the Abyss. Access to the abyss is from the central eye of the Neverending Swell located in the Tears of a Goddess Mountains. A once fallen God Complex, the complex itself contained a Paradox Orb, lost in secret and kept within its halls, only to be now actively sought after by Xin No Sai and his eldritch minions and manifestations.
During the energies surrounding the swell, the Shard of the Sun began to investigate. It was during this time that Deathlius Loss'end sought an opportunity to engage the Shardlord after his defeat in the Solium Hold, due to the latter making an appearance. However, the Shardlord himself was sent to defeat the evil known as Sha'kraqxa which emerged from the swell, threatened the security of the mountains and the corruption of the entities within, gathering power and being released from his once-secure state. Deathlius at this point gets captured by malevolent magicks, saving the adventurer that went with him, but being dragged in by his soul which has been tethered with an unspeakable force from Vlaadtu. A search team led by Kaijin No Sai and Abel Strom proceed to investigate for their own reasons besides their comrades' rescue, however, unnerved by the raging storms proceeding in the battlefield.
The instance features twelve bosses and many secrets that lead to the game's story and progression. Players may further progress on Salvator's Sacred Treasures questline here, and find multiple resources for new equipment. Dependent on the difficulty, players may enter based on item level and or requirements from quests and achievements. 
==Attunement==
To enter the raid, different requirements are needed:
*Adventurer: Item level requirement.
*Standard, Master, Hardened: Staring into the End: Complete the questline as you prepare to unravel the secrets of the abyssal god complex.
*Rising: Prestige of the Xin'naxxus Raider: Complete all the non-Rising achievements inside the Xin'naxxus instance.
Adventurer difficulty can be queued after reaching a certain item level. To get into the three main difficulties, players must complete the intro questline to the raid. To unlock the Rising difficulty, players must obtain all of the non-Rising achievements, which includes achievements related to the overall raid, boss mechanics, and even surviving a fight flawlessly.
==History==
One of many God Complexes, Xin'naxxus was once known as Valhallus, after falling in ancient times to the gargantuan beings known as the evil titans. The Godborne led by a valiant effort of Kaede no Sai and Kaijin No Sai fought off the titans' bulk force, but eventually crumbled, demanding the Paradox Orb as both tribute and recompense. Kaede, unwavering, sealed the orb within herself, apparating within the halls of the complex, before Vlaadtu, as Kaijin described it, "ripped it from the waters" and took it elsewhere, which would later become the Tears of a Goddess Mountains. Ever since the complex lied in the swell, still safeguarded by powerful celestial magicks, the mountains began an incessant rain. Kaijin thinks of it as Jadus attempting to remember his believed-to-be deceased mother.
Vlaadtu, gravely wounded, took to rest in the Eye of Malevolence. It was at this time he rested, only to rise later during the Third Old One War, and begin his machinations with Grimmok and O.M.N.I. that led to the Great Turnback, and before that, chronologically, the Maelstrom War. Because of how magically protected Valhallus was, the forces of Xan tried to conquer its halls, losing each time. Over the years, the complex began to lose power, and it was decided to be abandoned, with much of its leftover energy and secrets distributed using Godborne technology to the complexes of Audita, Datta, and Remnantia, and the rest to the Godvault. The halls began to open again, and the forces of Xan, resilient, seek the orbicular device contained within. It has since turned into a hall structure of prisons, torture networks, and manifestation machines. Kaijin, led by the belief for his mother, as well as to save his comrade, teams up with Abel Strom to journey into the abyss to save his mother from her fate, though it had been many, many years.

==Encounters==
The stronghold features twelve bosses across four sections.
===Abyssal Halls===
*https://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/legendlegacy/images/f/f8/Uber_Boss_Helmet.PNG Myr'kali: Myr'kali leads the first offensive outside Xin'naxxus, laying waste to enemy drudges and sea life that even dare go near, as well as whipping, into shape, hardy peons the Cult of Xan find dispensable. Just imagine what he has in store for you.
*https://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/legendlegacy/images/f/f8/Uber_Boss_Helmet.PNG Magistrix Craila: Craila commands vile hordes of imps and flesh-like infestations that are actively trying o break down the lingering shields of the fallen Valhallus complex. From time to time she finds trinkets and stones that increase her powers, but now she is notified of an unfamiliar presence she wishes to destroy.
*https://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/legendlegacy/images/f/f8/Uber_Boss_Helmet.PNG Xanadian Tricksters: The tricksters, two of Craila's most corrupt and twisted creations, see the excursion of the Xin'naxxus takeover as a way of setting up traps and misfortune, desiring a space for their own. This however doesn't make them any less dangerous than their brethren.
*https://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/legendlegacy/images/f/f8/Uber_Boss_Helmet.PNG Sha'nath the Visageless: A powerful, fallen Xansha with its face heavily disfigured and scarred from a previous battle from the Shard of the Sun on an unknown, hostile world. Sha'nath was a part of the Xin'naxxus raid but became malevolent and twisted, desiring destruction in its blind rage. Xin, having it caged, is willing to release it, provided it destroys the opposition before it wreaks havoc again.
===Foundry of Chaos===
*https://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/legendlegacy/images/f/f8/Uber_Boss_Helmet.PNG Rikshma: Rikshma is a result of the Cult of Xan's conscription empowerment, seeking to make an example from which they can utilize for foot soldiers for the forces of evil. Empowered from years of battle and conflict, Rikshma is the first encounter in an otherwise chaotic foundry.
*https://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/legendlegacy/images/f/f8/Uber_Boss_Helmet.PNG Mar'kaxx: Mar'kaxx is a volatile Sha'nex, a lingering, malevolent apparition that wants nothing but death and consumption, and knows nothing but malevolence and destruction. After an initial appearance at Omnusali Asylum, Xin made another in order to remind his captive opponent of his own failures. In turn, alongside the deadly evil Mar'kaxx is, Xin brought the Xei'sha armor to be used at Mar'kaxx's disposal, but is certain it won't be needed.
*https://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/legendlegacy/images/f/f8/Uber_Boss_Helmet.PNG Psychoxanadic Twins: The Psychoxanadic Twins use deadly magicks of mind, body and soul to confuse, deteriorate, and envelop their victims, feeding it to the central maw in the center of the room. A product of Xin's madness, the Twins are a deadly adversary to the mentally weak or strong.
*https://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/legendlegacy/images/f/f8/Uber_Boss_Helmet.PNG Imperator Chunleth: Chunleth once ruled a world that was consumed by the forces of Xan, only for him to join their ranks as a twisted aberration with powerful abilities. Using the Xei'sha armors, Chunleth and his own soul, whatever is left of it, seek nothing but power, revelling in the lost world he once ruled.
===Vaults of Valhallus===
*https://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/legendlegacy/images/f/f8/Uber_Boss_Helmet.PNG Three Hands of Xin: The Three Hands of Xin are Xin's right-hand jailers, torturers, and unravelers. They were responsible for Deathlius' capture, and are the closest agents to discovering the Paradox Orb within. Nothing gets past their vigil, and their methods for extracting information and corruption are what some would describe as too immoral to imagine.
*https://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/legendlegacy/images/f/f8/Uber_Boss_Helmet.PNG Jarus: A Kul Oculo, lost and wandering the abyss for what felt like eternity lingers in the Xin'naxxus, perverted by the Cult of Xan. Noting his interest in the Kul Reapers of old and new, Xin belies in curiosity and seeing the power of a fully developed Oculo and why Reapers can subjugate them to their will, if possible.
*https://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/legendlegacy/images/f/f8/Uber_Boss_Helmet.PNG Mastrafor: A fallen Evil Titan, now reduced to an empty husk. Energies linger nearby, malicious in nature, suspiciously reanimate it back to life. After sleeping for millennia it would seem after his defeat, Mastrafor acts as the gate guardian to the final encounter in this desolate hell.
===Shattered Sanctum===
*https://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/legendlegacy/images/f/f8/Uber_Boss_Helmet.PNG Sha'kraqxa: A being of the Neverends, highly volatile, malevolent, and stitched together as an amalgamation of dread, contempt, and unending hunger. Desiring to be fed souls and twisted magicks, Sha'kraqxa was awakened by Xin after his lingering in the abyss brought back his power after his recent defeat by the Shardlord. Desiring vengeance and devising ways to bring back his true master, Sha'kraqxa looks to start with the souls of the adventurers, as well as the Paradox Orb that had been found... at last.
