Ghashan-kútot, the Halls of Black Lore

Instance Overview

After defeating the Warden of the Archive, the boss fights become available. These are 3 series of fights.

• Bosses no. 1-3: These change from week to week. Possible sets include:

   * Vrarz the Cook - Udúnion - The Ring-forge of Orthanc
   * Caerlûg - The Lost One - Gurvand
   * Gurthúl - Gúrthul - Gorothúl

• Boss no. 4: This changes weekly. Possible bosses include:

   * Skorgrím Dourhand surrounded by a ring of Dourhand dwarves. They cause damage if you are knocked back to them.
   * Núrzum

• Final Boss: Dolguzigir the Dark Archivist

Walk-through and Tactics

< Basic walk-through commentary>

• Tier 1

• Clear mobs until you get to the center courtyard, where above and to your right (north) sits Dolguzigir. Approach his throne and he will start a dialogue, after which the Chronicle of the Third Age book will appear in the middle of the courtyard. You will read (use) this book to spawn a series of bosses, each of which you must defeat before proceeding to the next phase. Stay near the middle of the courtyard before reading the book so you and/or the NPCs are not caught outside when the bosses start to spawn.
• Defeat three bosses, read the book again, and defeat one more, then make your way up the staircase under the throne and defeat Dolguzigir

• Tier 2

• Tier 3

Tips

• If running Solo/Duo and you have Faeron and Rhadrog with you, they tend to get stuck on all the stairs and bookshelves
