So, i have personally been inside of this instance and attempted twice already and i was thinking i would at least post some what of a guide as to what to do it won't be the best because i was debaiting weither i wanted to do this or not 
When you first go in there is 6 mobs around the platform that you have to kill and 5 out of the 6 use the buff that the SOT boss uses but is a lot stronger(makes sins basic hit for 30 aka my sin hit for that)so those are majorly not aps'able atm idk if they are going to change that or what not but do make sure you got classes that can use useful skills on the mobs and they will die slowly but surely.
Once you have finished with all 6 it will tell you to climb the chains and dig a fire thing all at once and there is a total of 6 of the chains to climb(basically its just like bushes in aeu with the crystals).
After that the fire in the middle goes away and the npc in the middle gains a quest for the squad leader to take. Once the squad leader takes the quest you will then be ported into stage 2 out of 3. IN stage 2 you have to protect the middle from the flame monsters and they do not attack but at some point down the line there wil be these certain mobs that appear that doe AoE damage and hit pretty hard so do make sure to kill those right away. if you fail to defend the center the center becomes a very strong o.p boss that gets even stronger when people die at that point it becomes almost impossible to finish as in where my squads usually have given up because it's basically a fail lol.
So that's all i know as of now until someone else can finish all three stages and if so comment it and let people know and ill try to edit this post on it.
p.s sorry if it's not the best guide but i thought i would at least attempt to make oneb:surrender

Good 1st attempt. Add the screenshots, coordinates of where it is, how to get in. Squad size? I.e. is 10 allowed
I will be trying this out after work so any extra info is much appreciated. Also what's the instance actually called i.e. what shows up above your coordinates thing.
I have a feeling this is something the GMs overlooked when rolling out this patch and forgot to delete w/e so not too hopeful of actually gaining anything or this actually even completing in the game sense of the word.DarkSkiesx - Demon Archer

The coordinates are where he posted in the other thread.
On DW server, I currently have a shop setup at 95, 307 called "EntranceAhead" selling apocalypse page for 5 million (so it stays upb:laugh). Essentially, if you square up to the shop and run straight for the wall like you're getting on the Hogwarts Express - youll get ported in.
Instance is called "Dragon Hidden Den".
I have a Fraps video I can upload at a later point of porting in and dying to the chain guard when trying to solo itb:laugh Didn't notice the poison cloud I was standing in [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

I went in alone, I killed the fire totem thingy, then I was killing the metal one when I just got bored and let it kill me.
The fire circles on the ground hit hard enough to tick my charm, and you need to run IMMEDIATELY if one is under you to avoid the hit. Two are always respawning under your position so its best to just watch when one disappears, run around till it respawns and repeat.
Preferably NOT running near your pet/summon so that it doesn't get wrecked.
It should be called hidden hot potato hut, because THE FLOOR IS LAVA!! b:shocked[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

We also tried it but gave up at this OP boss. Things to do in short:
Fist Stage
1.) got to 95 307 and run into the rock/wall/mountain/whatever
2.) Try to avoid the flames, they hurt.
3.) Kill the Mobs outside of that circle (some spawn circles on the floor. I don't rly know what they do but they hurt..so move out if they appear). Takes some time (atleast with only 3 ppl) but is kinda doable and easy.
4.) 6 ppl climb up the chains and start to dig this light on the end on SAME TIME.
5.) Earthquake starts
6.) All to the middle again (flames are gone now). Leader takes quest(s).
Second Stage:
1.) U now get ported in a new room with a NPC/boss in the middle
2.) Mobs/Flames start to wander to the middle. Kill them before they reach this mob/NPC thingie.
3.) Some of them drop an Item. Use it to dig the machines standing there. U need to close all of them
4.) The boss awakes. THere are mini-BBs and other lights. Hit/kill them to activate and go into them. Mini-BB heals and protects you, red lights double your dmg, others...I have no idea.
5.) Whenever someone dies, boss becomes stronger
We gave up here aswell

Strategy to beat the bubble boss
1. AT ALL COST, DON'T DIE!
2. When you start or just dd-ing, Always stand next to a small blue bubble. DO NOT AOE.
3. Watch for the text on screen: When he say something with "BLAST", hit the small blue bubble to activate it and stand inside the expanded blue bubble. AT ALL COST, DO NOT ACTIVATE THE BLUE BUBBLE PREMATURELY.
4. Watch for the reel-in. When the boss pull you in, just run off the platform at all cost (holy path if you are slow class)
5. If the number of death exceed a certain amount, the boss goes into frenzy and kill everybody until it resets. You cannot stop the frenzy. Only way to avoid the frenzy is stop dieing. If a member keep dieing, tell him to stay in the safe zone. (or kick).

Kitty tried doing the new instance too. Sadly squad broke after numerous attempts to kill the boss. As everyone was doing it first time we accidentally let about 70 flame mobs be sucked by boss before getting the sealing done.
Couple notices made by Orobas(1-2) and Kitty(3-5):
1) Squadmembers dying increases boss's APS, reaching over 3 APS at least.
2) Boss has 2 AoEs that alternate every 20 secs: Blast that affects whole area and Grind that affects the platform only. Thus it's advisable to do far-close-alternating. Both AoEs are scripted 1-shots, Blast being avoidable by being inside bubble when it hits and Grind by getting off the platform before it hits.
3) Bubbles last 20 secs and they're activated by hitting blue spheres. Red light ball gives channeling boost and Blue light ball doubles damage against mobs.
4) Boss has AoE channeling debuff(at least doubles channeling)
5) Purge doesn't purge the anti-APS-buff here at all.
Good strategy might be either clockwise or counter-clockwise rotating around boss activating bubbles before blasts and everyone being in a close group moving from bubble to another when needed. And like many already mentioned: NO AOES HERE! Activating too many bubbles at once creates a gap when they can't be activated and if boss uses blast that time...BOOM! f:fume
About squad composition:
In this instance understanding english ish highly recommended as it needs good squadwork. Kitty's going to ask ppl to link their boots to make sure of that(did that once for BH Snake squad, 4/70 PMs had link to boots). Wizzie ish almost must for statues, raindow squad recommended. Couple clerics might be useful too for heals if one doesn't get to bubble in time.
As this instance ish totally anti-APS: SINS AND BMS, LEARN TO USE YOUR SKILLS FOR DPHING. Thanks. f:grin
No XP loss, by the way f:cute
This instance ish brilliant work by developers, Kitty admits. f:stare[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Timer ran out. We spend like an hour at the start to show people how to feel like harry potter when he ran into platform 9 & 3/4 and then.... laughing at people running into the wrong part of the wall, looking like tards. b:shutup
Last boss should not be that hard, just need to figure out the 'timings'.
1. Collect pots from the mobs (we collected 50 per person, more than enough i think)
2. Then, engage the boss. The boss will throw an amp debuff at people, which can be purified (using one of the pots)
3. Boss summons massive fire pools, which people need to avoid by running in the opposite direction. Sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right, sometimes all around it. Range DD can hit from max range. Everybody needs epic ninja skills to avoid the fire.
4. Boss summons a miniboss: Chen Yen. Kill Chen Yen at ALL COST. If you leave chen yen for too long, it will go into aps mode (only a barb with invoke can have a chance to tank him). If you leave it for longer, chen yen will heal the boss to max hp.
others:
The other pot that drops from the mob is a 'massive jump boost'. Might be related to the coins that you will see if you look up. lol[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
And btw, this instance requires such a high level of teamwork that it will make you hate on randoms/newbies so much. E.g if just people don't listen and keeps feeding kills to the bubble boss, you will always loose.
And two, you have to be extremely good with timings to get the instance right. Everyone has to stay concentrated and pay a lot of attention to the boss/environment or else, he/she will just die over and over again. Hp Charms or $10,000 worth of gear are useless in those situation.
Those alone will drive like 98% of the server population away from that instance.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
the boss with BLAST and GRIND( thats the reel in) dropped a few Dragon Blood stones, same as the ones the quest gave you 5 of, the boss after (named Yell to the sky) auto gives you a quest named the same as him with subquest Seal them all - this i assume you turn in and choose the reward (can look at database its the reward we heard of before release obp pof ect) there are more drops and rewards at end i do believe though
archers really do seem to be the best at the new content/changes now0 -
The reward is a stone which is used to improve 'gear to r8 level' although the NPC you trade these in at does exist but when you autopath to them in Cromagon Village, they are not there. So no point doing this atm apart from for the lulz.DarkSkiesx - Demon Archer

I dunno, might be good to stock up now if the new gear becomes cheaper and comparable to r9s3. (Not saying it will, but is possible i guess)
I'm running it so i can put my mystic in r8s3 eventually.0 -

This is do-able. Tried with a squad just few minutes ago and got to the evil reel in fury boss. Once we started to get the hang of it the squad split, but w/e.
I went back in and soloed it for a bit. If you go around the circle and hit the blue bubbles as you go you can do okay with potting and hp charm. Gotta be quick and pay attention to what the boss is doing. I got it down about 10% solo and missed the bubble, so i died.
So, number one lesson is SQUAD TEAM WORK is a must! Gotta be in sync like a boss to do this well. It should be easy, if you can get a good team of players that listen and follow directions well. Decent gear will help too....0 -

Nah, squad split at the Blast and Grind boss. I made one attempt to solo it and would have done well (I think), but my timing was slightly off between bubbles. Just saying, it is very do-able and you can have 10 ppl inside, but i'd recommend only the most organized do that. AKA all have the same voice server to speak instructions instead of text chats.0 -

Yeahhhhh...as I said, it feels like way too much to do at once.
Edit- To give a hint, you supposedly have 110 secs from when that mob spawns to kill it before it heals the boss. Or this is what someone in squad translated from Russian for us.
idk, I think it's doable, but just...[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Managed to beat all 3 stages and get the reward. Stage 2 and 3 were very challenging.
Stage 1)
- Kill 6 towers
- Climb Six chains
- Dig flame at top of Six chains simultaneously
- Talk to boss
Stage 2)
- Defend center against flames + mini bosses coming in from 4 sides
- Kill occasional special flames for a drop. Person who picks drop has to seal 4 cauldrons by digging (need 4 drops)
- Boss:
--Hitting blue bubble mob casts a temporary protective shield on ground
--Hitting red will cast attack aura
--when you see an announce saying hes about to do big burst of damage hit a blue bubble and stay inside (dont hit bubbles otherwise)
--When he pulls you towards center for grinding jump off the pedestal fast
Key for this battle is mobility. Stay near an unpopped blue bubble so you can put up a shield when he does burst. Save those blue bubbles for that.
Stage 3)
- Mobs that you can farm drop purify pills you can use and jump pills
- Jump pills let you jump to coins in the air that buff you and help dodge attacks
- Boss main attack is to slam his fist onto the field and to throw down lava onto floor everywhere
- Lava kills you in 1 second
- Theres an elemental immune add on the lava that if you dont kill will heal boss, this add has very strong APS melee attack
- Boss will try to pull / push you into lava
Cheesy Strategy: Theres a pillar behind the boss you can stand on where you avoid all attacks except small AOE. If he pushes you off the pillar towards lava you can use a jump pill and holy path in the air to steer back onto safe pillar.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

For stage 3, I just want to add that it is better to jump in the air before you start the boss and hit a gold coin, not silver. You will get a DMG buff that helps you to kill the boss faster. Also, the mini boss that heals the big one, you can pull it away and kill it with a barb.0 -
