Open a map that's in in one of the corner regions of the Atlas. The fourth time you do, Al-Hezmin will appear and taunt the player, adding his influence within the map region. Repeat this two more times, then talk to Kirac. He will show the location of the Citadel in the region, then talk to Zana to open six portals into Al-Hezmin's Citadel. After defeating the map boss, go into the portal and defeat Al-Hezmin, the Hunter.

To spawn the Conqueror again, open a map in a region with one Watchstone slotted with a map of the appropriate tier (as long as their corresponding Watchstone hasn't been found yet for that region). Find their Citadel again by running maps within the region they're influencing two more times, then repeat the process of entering their Citadel and defeating them. Repeat this process with another Watchstone. After the fifth time, the Conqueror will be defeated, completing the quest. They will not appear again until you have challenged Sirus.

How to use Watchstones

By inserting the Watchstones into the altar of the citadel of a region, Map Tier will be increased. For example Beach Map has tiers 1, 4, 8, 10 and 14 depends on how many Watchstones inserted in that region. Unique Watchstones provides additional modifier to the Atlas.

Moreover, if a full set of Watchstones (4 different colours, can be Watchstones that obtained from different regions) is inserted into one region, the Awakening Level of the Atlas will be increased by 1. Since there is 8 sets of Watchstones , the highest possible level of the Awakening Level will be 8.

How to get a watchstone

The Atlas is divided into 8 regions. Each region of the Atlas has 4 Watchstones in different colours, corresponding to 4 bosses:

Boss Colour Watchstone
Al-Hezmin, the Hunter Green Viridian Watchstone
Baran, the Crusader Red Crimson Watchstone
Drox, the Warlord Yellow Golden Watchstone
Veritania, the Redeemer Blue Cobalt Watchstone

Players are required to beat the bosses in their citadels of that region in order to acquire the Watchstones. However, if the Watchstone of that region was acquired already, beating the same boss again will not give the second copy of the Watchstone of that region.

Additionally, the final end-game boss, Sirus, Awakener of Worlds, drops unique Ivory Watchstone.
