Broken Bulwark dungeon guide

The Broken Bulwark dungeon is located in the Scosglen region of Sanctuary, in the Westering Lowlands. It’s quite close to the border with the Dry Steppes. The Firebreak Manor waypoint is going to be the closest, so if you have it, use it to travel there.

When you first enter the dungeon, you’re going to be in the Corrupted Keep and tasked with searching Slain Knights for the Keep Key. Simply investigate the bodies of knights found around this part of the dungeon for the key. However, this part of the dungeon is rather large, so you’ll need to do some traversing. Once you’ve found the key, you can head forward and open the locked gate.

Next is a far more familiar objective, collecting Animus from Animus Carriers in the Desecrated Great Hall. Broken Bulwark is filled with Drowned, Goatmen, and Werewolf enemies, so the Animus Carriers will be among these. They are Elite monsters, so be careful when fighting them, as they are stronger. They’ll also normally be travelling in groups, so you’ll need to take them all down to retrieve the Animus. But, luckily this part of the dungeon is nowhere near as large as the Corrupted Keep, so you won’t have to walk as far. The Animus Carriers will all be highlighted with a white icon on your mini-map, so they won’t be difficult to find. Once you’ve collected all your Animus, head through the doors and deposit it all into the Animus Urn. This will awaken the boss for the Broken Bulwark Dungeon, the Khazra Abomination.

The Khazra Abomination is not too difficult of a boss, but it does want to keep in close quarters with you. If you’re far away from it, the boss has a special move where it will charge towards you. Save your dodge ability for this move to get out of the way. You should also watch out for the poison puddle AoE attacks the Khazra Abomination has. These attacks will stick around, and they will do a fair amount of damage if you step into them. I’ve found that running behind the boss and doing damage from behind is the most effective way to take it out. Stay somewhat close so the boss doesn’t charge you, as that attack is annoying. However, you shouldn’t have too much trouble taking the abomination out.

After defeating the Khazra Abomination, you’ve successfully completed the dungeon. For your hard work, you’ll be rewarded with the Legendary Ghostwalker Aspect being unlocked in your Codex of Power. This Aspect can be used by all classes and gives you increased movement speed while you have the Unstoppable status, and for four seconds afterward.
