== Walk-through and Tactics ==
:* Tier 1

=== Boss 1: Gultháva ===
On entering the instance, you immediately walk into the room for the first boss fight, the Test of the Maiden. Gultháva has a periodic frost damage DoT she'll put on you at random, signified by a blue eye. On expiration, the eye will drop a puddle with a significant DoT effect where the affected person was standing (''"I call the waters!"''). Gultháva also has a significant damage buff she will put on herself (''"Spirits of the Gladden, hear my call!"''). Otherwise this is a straightforward fight- dps her and her occasional [[Water Spirit]] summons until she concedes.

After the fight, follow Gultháva deeper into the mines until you come to a large pool where the Grasping Maw fight begins.

=== Boss 2: The Grasping Maw ===
Much like the [[Watcher in the Water]], the Maw has one large body with mouth and eyes and a bunch of tentacles. Some of these do different things; the [[Biting Tentacle]]s bite. Quite hard. Most of the fight involves tanking these while dealing with the other tentacles. The [[Spewing Tentacle]]s throw heavy DoTs while the [[Spitting Tentacle]]s throw damaging puddles. The Spewing and Spitting are generally weaker than the Biting and can do heavy damage if left unchecked, so take them down quick and then wear down the Biter until you can target the main body of the Maw, then wear down that until it flees deeper into the mines. You do this multiple times, following Gultháva as she lowers the waters and fighting off the Nameless trash in between bigger fights with the Maw- and you will be in combat the entire time. Wiping in this phase will send you all the way back to the top.

:* Tier 2

:* Tier 3

=== Tips ===
Sometimes Elrond and Glorfindel will get stuck after the first battle with the boss. They get stuck at the bottom of the stairs and won't continue. To solve this, jump back up the boulders and slowly walk down several different ways and eventually one or both will follow your lead to the path below. Trying to use the horn to call them wont work cause you must be very far away for the horn to work. If you can defeat the next boss encounter without them, you can then call the missing guys once you are far enough away from their stuck location. Elrond and Glorfindel can also be dismissed with the command ''/pet releaseall'' and resummoned. Elrond and Glorfindel also will not scale with the instance- they are always level 120. This can make it difficult even in solo/duo mode at higher levels, as you can't rely on them to take some of the attention in the boss fights. Their heals are underpowered, most of their attacks will be deflected entirely, and their health pools won't support holding aggro for very long.
