Battle

Contrary to the usual battles in the Rift, the lesser mob shouldn't be taken out first. Instead, attempt to defeat them at the same time. Shadow-eater has significantly more morale, so he needs to be focused on at the beginning. If Stone-biter is defeated first, several adds will spawn. Everyone except the MT and a dedicated Minstrel will start beating on Shadow-Eater.

Once Shadow-eater is down to the same morale as Stone-biter, pull the two close together and damage both of them at the same time. Ideally they should be defeated within seconds of each other, resulting in only a few adds spawning that need to be dealt with at the end.

Throughout the fight, a few of the Darklings seen crawling at Narnûlubat might emerge. Deal with them as necessary before they turn into elite mobs.
