Location
Getting there
- Option 1
Starting from 
Magmatic Waypoint — , head east across two basalt bridges to the first Shadow Imp and some lava-falls. Behind this imp you can jump up the little slope to the right of the lava. Follow the east bank of the lava-flow up the mountain to the Boiling-Hot Magma. Keep heading north up the slope, and when you can go up no further, jump slightly east onto the next slope.
Continue following the eastern edge of the volcano in an anti-clockwise direction. You will reach a sudden change in gradient where you'll briefly drop down into a trench - climb out of it and emerge on the other side. Now begin walking to the northwest, you will quickly come across a steep incline where you will begin to slip down; look for a small northwards v-shaped gulley where you can walk up the middle and follow it to the top. At the top of this gulley, the mastery point will now be directly to the west of you. Jump down from the shelf and commune with the mastery point to claim the mastery insight.
- Option 2
A significantly simpler, but longer path starts at the 
Maelstrom's Bile Vista and just follows the rim clockwise until you're above the point and can jump down. Neither a mount nor gliding is mandatory.
- Option 3
If you have Springer, Griffon or Skyscale, you can start from Avernan Waypoint — , head west and jump up the volcano instead.
- Option 4
If you have Skyscale, you can also start from Maelstrom's Waypoint — and use the rift skill near the lava pool to go all the way up through the volcano.
