Instance Overview

Ballistae and explosive barrels

As you enter the area, you will be above Dargnákh and unable to damage him directly. Small trash mobs will attack and respawn until the area is cleared. There is a pile of Balistae bolts that need to picked up and moved to the balistae. It then can be fired to drive Dargnákh in a rage. After several shots, he is driven into a rage and breaks into the next room.

In the next phase you need to enrage Dargnákh again, but you are now on the same level as him and he can kill you. The trash mobs will attack the fellowship and Dargnákh. A lit torch on the wall needs to be picked up and brought to the various explosive barrels around the room. Ignite the barrels closest to Dargnákh and he will eventually break free and leave the building.

Luring Dargnákh to the arena

First, you need to free Dargnákh from Huva and his sorcerers. He spawns adds, applies a shadow DoT and uses corruptions. It is a normal tank-and-burn-down encounter. Be sure to loot the chest.

After Huva is defeated, your group needs to 'encourage' Dargnákh to follow you to the final area. A small group of orcs will spawn, one of which will be a White Hand Butcher. When he dies, he will drop a slop bucket. One member, preferably the DPS, needs to carry the slop bucket down the corridor to the glowing wall section on the left. When you reach it with the bucket, Dargnákh will break through. Repeat this pattern until Dargnákh makes it to the final area.

Note: If you wipe on Dargnákh, there is a shortcut portal at the respawn area that will put you near then end and save you some walking time.

Fighting Dargnákh

In the final fight, your group fights Dargnákh. You need to watch out for a big induction called Shockwave: the troll then stomps on the ground and does big damage to all nearby allies. He seems to use it every 50 seconds, so a timer might help to let non-tank players know when they should move away to avoid the damage. He also gains a stack of the buff called Blind Rage, which increases his damage and run speed.

There are two strategies to this fight, both involve separate deeds (T1 and T2):

  • To complete Challenge: Dargnákh Unleashed, use the following method. Tank Dargnákh in one of the corners. You must do some damage to him and he will use his AoE attack and knock down one of the roof supports. Move to the next pillar and repeat until all 4 are down. This will let sunlight in and Dargnákh will be turned into stone and complete. His tiering buff lets him hit harder as the pillars comes down.
  • The second method involves tanking the troll in the middle. Don't let him take down the pillars and kill him normally.
