  • You know you have enough points when the latent breaks. You will know it is done when the weapon's elemental resistances disappear from your active resistances (colored dots below the gear grid, but above the selected item description). The item's description text will never change.
  • Bring some form of Sneak and Invisible with you and head to the Temple of Uggalepih.
  • If you enter the temple conventionally from the Jungle. Follow the path to to the T-intersection and head north. Follow the path and exit the Temple.
  • The Voidwatch warp is the fastest method, followed by the Survival Guide warp.
  • The Voidwatch warp will place you directly outside the the Temple (exit 1 on Temple map 1). Enter the temple and follow the left wall to the granite door at (J-7). Pass through the door and proceed to (K-3) to exit the temple (exit 4 on Temple Map 1).
  • The Survival Guide warp will place you inside the Temple (exit 2 on Temple Map 1). From there, follow the left wall all the way to the granite door at (J-7). Pass through the door and proceed to (K-3) to exit the temple (exit 4 on Temple Map 1).
  • Once outside the Temple, follow the right wall heading North and then immediately East to zone into the Temple again (exit 5 on Temple Map 3). Once inside, follow the path South to the ??? at (G-9) to spawn the NM.
  • Go back and speak with Brutus to receive your reward.
