Lore question regarding Ascendency

A) Chitus was the guide for the Ezomyte warrior. Chitus backstabbed the Ezomyte. The Ezomytes body is in the antechamber before the third trial.

B) The font gives ascendancy points. The font is located in the treasure room along with the magical skull for enchantments. Thus you have to get to the treasure room to ascend.

C) Ascendancy points are optional, just like trading. If you don't like it, don't do it. If you don't do it, don't whine because you are at a disadvantage. GGG is not based in America and doesn't have to cater to your whiny, entitled BS.
