[edit] Walkthrough

Exit Senji's Corner and make your way North, being careful not to aggro more than one group at a time. At the first bridge it's best to wait until you can see Orosen, Tranquil Acolyte. He will run down the bridge followed by his accompanying group. If you run back down to the two guards he will follow you all the way down. If you choose to fight this gives you the bonus of having the assistance of the guards and it will result in the enemies being crowded together. Another option is to move to the right side of the bridge (out of aggro range) and wait for the guards to die; the group will then continue on and you can skip fighting them. Continue northwards across the next bridge. At point 1 (see image) be sure to pull each group separately back onto the bridge so as not to set off multiple groups. Continue round into Shenzun Tunnels.

Follow the path to the east and then south killing any Am Fah you come across. Remember to watch out for the rangers who will no doubt have laid traps such as Viper's Nest and Spike Trap. Follow the quest marker to the east at the 'T' junction and continue up to the entrance to the temple (2). Speak to the guard and Mhenlo will join you. At this point backtrack to the 'T' junction and continue straight west. You can usually dodge the group of the Afflicted here but sometimes Mhenlo will set them off. Kill the group of Am Fah and head round to join up with Nika and Master Togo (3).

Alternative path through Maatu Keep.

Here you will have to fend off the Afflicted. They come from three sides but there aren't many so you shouldn't have a problem. Sometimes the last group will get 'stuck', head down the ramp and dispose of them to get the final dialog to appear.

Leave with Master Togo and backtrack again back to the entrance to the temple (2) and talk to the guard to head inside.

As an alternative path, you can proceed from Senji's Corner through Nahpui Quarter into Shenzun Tunnels, and then proceed along the south side of the region to Maatu Keep. Not only does this add Maatu Keep to your map much sooner than you would otherwise get there, but the quest is more easily completed from there.

[edit] Intermediate dialogue

Temple Guard Bai

So, you are telling me that you are friends with the emperor's half brother, Master Togo? Suuuuure you are. And I am the emperor himself. As I have said before, no one but those of imperial blood may enter. Now, be gone!

Brother Mhenlo: "Psst! Over here!"
Brother Mhenlo

Tahnnakai Temple will have to wait. Nika and the Obsidian Flame have fallen under attack by the Afflicted, and Master Togo wants us to help defend them. He sent me to find you.

We will return[sic] the temple when this battle is over. For now, we must hurry to join Master Togo.

Brother Mhenlo: "Nika and Master Togo are in great danger. We must hurry to join them!

When reaching Togo, Nika and the Obsidian Flame.

Brother Mhenlo: "Oh no! Here they come!"

After the afflicted groups are defeated.

Master Togo: "That was the last of them. Nika, forgive us, but we must be on our way."
Nika: "I understand, but know that you have an ally in the Obsidian Flame."
Master Togo: "Thank you, Nika. Your heart is as true as ever."
Brother Mhenlo: "Master Togo, I am concerned for our new allies. I would like to remain behind and tend to any lingering wounds."
Master Togo: "As you wish, Mhenlo. It is time the rest of us departed for Tahnnakai Temple."
Temple Guard Bai

If you are with the emperor's half brother, Master Togo, then I can let you enter. Please let me know when you are prepared.

Yes We wish to enter the temple.
When you are ready to travel, I will take you to Tahnnakai Temple. It is an honor that you are allowed beyond this gate, so show the proper respect.
Yes We are respectfully ready to enter the temple.
Your entire party is about to be moved to the next area. Make sure all party members are ready first. Do you wish to continue?
Yes Yes. (sent to Tahnnakai Temple (cinematic))
No No.
No Not right now.

[edit] Reward dialogue

Brother Khai Jhong

Beyond these gates resides the spirits of Cantha's greatest heroes. They are in great peril right now! Master Togo went on ahead and is awaiting you. Hurry!

[edit] Notes

Bug Bug.
Mhenlo can die in this quest and the quest may still be completable, even though it says Quest failed. Continue to move forward and complete the objectives and you will finish the quest.
Bug Bug.
Mhenlo and Togo both may become "stuck" at various points in this quest. Mhenlo's AI may force him to heal any minions in your party, thus causing him to be "stuck" on any Minion Masters. It may be beneficial not to bring Minion Masters for this quest. Togo may become stuck on an Obsidian Flame Assassin during the trek back to the Temple.
Bug Bug.
Near the end of the cutscene, your pet may get locked out when the gate closes. However, later in the cutscene, your pet will be beside you again.
