More or less.

You can access El Nath using either the Maple Guide (for a direct teleport, as long as you're within level range or have the completion stamp) or otherwise by travelling.

The quick-travelling method used by many players is:

• Go to any town and use the Dimensional Mirror NPC to travel to Alishan. If you haven't started the Alishan quests, you can access it through the white lightbulb tab on the left-hand side of the screen. You only have to accept the initial quest to travel to Alishan, and many players don't both with the remaining quests.
• Exit Alishan using the portal on the left side of the map. You'll be moved to Henesys.
• Use the "Quick Move" button on the left-hand side of the screen, then select the icon shaped like a ship. It'll take you to Victoria Tree Platform
• Jump down one map to Six-Path Crossway.
• Use the Interdimensional Portal NPC to teleport to Pantheon Temple.
• Use the Interdimensional Portal again to teleport to any town you want. El Nath has the icon that looks like a snowflake.

From El Nath, you can take a taxi to Ice Valley 2 (or walk, but the taxi is instant).


Killing monsters is considered faster, but personally I tend to find it boring. At level 75 it shouldn't really matter too much, so you can choose what you want to do.

All Arcane River story content and dailies can be completed solo as long as you meet the required level requirements, however it isn't necessarily easy.
You should refer to a guide if you want to complete it on your own:

Gollux equips can obtain %Stat flames (at least 2%). It is, however, rare as the equips are not guaranteed high-tier stats as certain equipment is.

My pendant:


Zero weapons likewise have lower-tier flames, however they are supposed to count twice.

That might make it fairly doable.
Does Arcane Power just affect the damage I do, or also the damage I take? I've failed to find clear info about this.

Arcane Force affects both the damage you deal and receive, to a small extent. At high levels of Arcane Force, monsters will deal less damage (as far as I've seen).

The quest description does warn you that the quest will be difficult, and suggests that you complete the quest in a party.
