Walk Throughs

Here is a rough set of notes. Note that some spawn information is incomplete and so is the detailed breakdown of the spawn waves:

Most stages have 4 waves of spawns. An exception is stage 5. Recommended group composition is as many missile and void hybrids as possible, with secondary consideration to specialized life mages.

Stage 1
Spawn 1 - Hollow Pawns, Corrosive Archer
Spawn 2 - Hollow Pawns, Virindi Rival, Corrosive Archer
Spawn 3 - Virindi Rival, Tumerok Savage
Spawn 4 - Tumerok Savage
Kill priority: Corrosive Archer >Tumerok Savage > Virindi Rival > Hollow Pawns

• Tumerok Savages are extremely vulnerable to lightning and pierce damage. CS melee and missile weapons are very effective but not recommended over slayers.
• Virindi Rivals are vulnerable to lightning and fire.

Stage 2
Spawn 1 - Virindi Rival, Hollow Pawns, Corrosive Archer
Spawn 2 - Lugian Launcher
Spawn 3 - Virindi Rival, Lugian Launcher
Spawn 4 - Hollow Pawns, Lugian Launcher
Kill priority: Lugian Launcher > Virindi Rival > Hollow Pawns

• Lugian Launchers have very high magic resistance. It is recommended all mages use Spectral Crystal of the Life Giver rares, and then imp. Missile/Melees should use a lightning rend.

Stage 3
Spawn 1 - Torment Wisps, Corrosive Archer
Spawn 2 - Torment Wisps
Spawn 3 - Torment Wisps
Spawn 4 - Torment Wisps, Corrosive Archer
Kill priority: Corrosive Archer > Torment Wisps > Hollow Pawns

• Torment Wisps should be imperiled and pierce vulned (slash does comparable damage). Melees and archers should us a slash or pierce AR weapon.
• Adding an acid vuln to increase summoned pets' effectiveness is recommended.

Stage 4
Spawn 1 - Lugian Launcher, Corrosive Archer
Spawn 2 - Tracking Fireball, Vicious Remoran Sapper
Spawn 3 - Hollow Pawns, Vicious Remoran Sapper
Spawn 4 - Vicious Remoran Sapper
Kill priority: Vicious Remoran Sapper > Virindi Rival > Hollow Pawns

• Do not stand in SW corner as a group of Vicious Remoran Sappers spawns there.
• Vicious Remoran Sappers stand still and chain-cast war spells. Bring lots of dispel gems for this room.
• Vicious Remoran Sappers should NOT be vulned; they should be imperiled.
• Melee/Missiles should use a blunt or fire rend. Mages should focus on imperils, and then use arcs (void) or Tusker Fists (war).

Stage 5
Spawn 1 - Pike Grievver, Grievver Darter
Kill priority:Pike Grievver > Grievver Darter

• Upon entering, your group will be split (at random) between two separate rooms. You will only be able to return to the same room you started in if you die or recall so each group is responsible for clearing their own room.
• Pike Grievvers and Grievver Darters should be imperiled and slash vulned. Melee/Missiles should use a slash Armor Rending weapon. War mages should use CS slash.
• The door is triggered by killing all of the Pike Grievvers in each room. When a Pike Grievver dies two Grievver Darters spawn. You can ignore them.
• The room is small, and has a central column. Flame waves shoot along the outer edges of the room so don't stand there.

Stage 6
Spawn 1 - Vibrant Shadow, Virindi Rival
Spawn 2 - Vibrant Shadow, Virindi Rival
Spawn 3 - Vibrant Shadow, Virindi Rival
Spawn 4 - Hollow Pawns, Vibrant Shadow, Virindi Rival
Kill priority: Vibrant Shadow > Virindi Rival

• Void mages should focus on the Vibrant Shadows using slayer the whole time.
• Vibrant Shadows should not be imperiled or vuled as they counter protect. Even so, all damage types besides nether and offensive life magic appear to do little damage.
• War mages, melees and archers should kill the Virindi Rivals and Hollow Pawns, then use shadow slayers wands and offensive life magic on the Vibrant Shadows.
• Void mages should focus on the shadows the entire time.

Stage 7
Spawn 1 - Mukkir Predator, Ruuk Ranger
Spawn 2 - Mukkir Predator, Guruk Grunt
Spawn 3 - 2 Guruk Grunts, 2 Ruuk Ranger
Spawn 4 - 2 Guruk Grunts, 2 Ruuk Ranger
Kill priority: Mukkir Predator > Ruuk Ranger > Guruk Grunt

• Guruk Grunts have extremely high defenses until they become vulnerable, which appears to occur at random. A level up animation plays, there is a green chat message, and all of their defenses significantly drop. Everyone should switch on them at this point and ignore other spawns.
• Ruuk Rangers cast a high damage bludge volley (forward cone attack). It does 250-300 damage. A level up animation is played, and there is a chat warning when this occurs.
• Void mages should focus on the Guruk Grunts and Ruuk Rangers at all times, Ruuk Rangers until Guruk Grunts becomes vulnerable and then switch to Guruk Grunts. Use burun slayer and nether blast.
• Guruk Grunts and Ruuk Rangers are both immune to life vulns and destructive curse.
• Non-mages should use Burun slayer wands and offensive life magic (tugaks and hecatombs) on the Guruk Grunts and Ruuk Rangers. War mages should use Soul Bound (or another rend). Void mages should also use Burun Slayer wands with void blasts/arcs. Designating one void mage to cast Corruption/Corrosion on everything with a green garnet tinked wand (non-slayer) is recommended.
• Due to extremely high health (~150k) the Guruk Grunts and Ruuk Rangers take a very long time to kill. Unclear if there's a better strategy.

Stage 8
Spawn 1 - Crazed Olthoi, Hollow Pawns
Spawn 2 - Crazed Olthoi
Spawn 3 - Crazed Olthoi
Spawn 4 - Crazed Olthoi, Virindi Rivals
Kill priority: Crazed Olthoi > Hollow Pawn

• Mages should Imperil and vuln all Crazed Olthoi. Melee/Missile should Olthoi Slayer weapons.
• All magics do very little damage, and should focus on imperil/vulns and the Virindi Rivals/Hollow Pawns.

Stage 9
Spawn 1 - Baby Snow Tuskers
Spawn 2 - Baby Snow Tuskers, 1 Tundra Tusker, 2 Crystal Shards
Spawn 3 - 2 Tundra Tuskers, 2 Crystal Shards
Spawn 4 - 4 Tundra Tuskers, 2 Crystal Shards
Kill priority: Tundra Tusker > Crystal Shard > Baby Snow Tusker.

• Crystal Shards have 50k HP and cannot be Tusker Fisted
• Tundra Tuskers are vulnerable to void and offensive life magic.

Stage 10
Spawn 1 - Stinging Armoredillos
Spawn 2 - Stinging Armoredillos
Spawn 3 - Stinging Armoredillos, Virindi Rivals
Spawn 4 - Stinging Armoredillos, Virindi Rivals
Kill priority: Stinging Armoredillos > Virindi Rivals

• Stinging Armoredillos have extremely high magic resistance. A Spectral Crystal of the Life Givers rare is recommended for all non archer/melees who should focus all their effort into landing an imperil
• Stinging Armoredillos appear to have a shield-like effect when being hit in the front. Arranging your fellow so half of your archers/melees are always hitting the Stinging Armoredillos in the back is recommended.

Stage 11
Spawn 1 - Wight Sages
Kill priority: Wight Sage
