Overview
Awan of the Yugoloth tells you that the Devil fortress known as the Iron Maw has never been conquered, despite eons of battle. If it were to fall, the Devils would surely be at each others throats over such a catastrophe. Awan wants you to infiltrate the Iron Maw through a long forgotten passage, and then open its gate to the Demon Horde outside. After the Demons and Devils annihilate each other, you are to eliminate any survivors, thereby preventing the Devils from learning how the Iron Maw fell.

Tips and Misc
Walkthrough from [Shade]: Pretty straight forward hack and slash quest. Be sure to have some melee DPS and basic healing. Nothing too hard. No really class recommendations other then some melee, any should work well. It has allot of portals that monsters come out of you can kill them, but that's entirely optional with no bonus for doing so.
First level: find the 2 levers to open the S gate. Go through the S gate, upstairs, and find your way to the SW corner of the map (directly above the entrance) to get to the next level.
Second level: find your way to the SE corner of the map upstairs to get to the next level (to the right and upstairs from where you first enter).
Third level: pull the levers on either side of the shrine to open the gate and proceed to the end fight.
End Fight:
Decent challenge fight against a Horned Devil who can cast reverse gravity. Has several trash mobs which respawn fairly fast. You can either beat him down quickly, or go for a more complicated approach to get a bonus chest:
As his hit points go down, he will cast reverse gravity at 75%/50%/25% hp left. You should have some people in the room below the red banners, to try to get up to the platforms above to light the 3 runes. Once the third rune is lit, Erisandes will die instantly and the extra chest will be available after the quest is complete. Be sure to jump down after lighting the runes - killing the portals has no real effect.
After the Erisandes is dead, the Demons attack you. This is a moderately difficult fight as the Marilith can hit very hard. However she attacks very infrequently and can be DPS'd down very fast. Melee, Firewall or Blade Barriers all work fine, just ignore her trash mobs and beat her down quickly. Note that she seems to be immune to Sneak Attack however; so rogues will have a very hard time damaging her. If your group has a caster, hitting the trash mobs with Flesh to Stone can really make the fight easier. Also note the spell Waves of Exhaustion will greatly lower Keradi's movement speed, making her much easier to kite.
It seems the longer the fight goes on the more responsive Keradi comes (attacking more often), so kill her fast to ensure victory.
To unlock the "lightning" locked chest in Bastion of Power requires someone to get onto the platform above the chest and "light" the switch located there. To accomplish this you wait for the "Anti-Gravity" effect the boss does and go for it then. ([1])
