Stop the Ascension
Quest giver: Lord Antonius Bayle
Requirements: A Dread Challenger (and its prereqs)
Request Phrase: stop
Entry Phrase: *click on the normal Blackburrow zoneline
When you zone into the instance, do not move forward until the entire raid is in zone, buffed, and ready. When set move forward slightly to trigger an alarm and all the zone trash will run away. Once the zone is clear "a Wrext Mal martyr" will be the only mob up, do Not kill it.
Split the raid force into 8 teams with each setting up at a specific spawn point. If your map doesn't have markers you can add these:
- P -597.2202, -46.5304, -146.3871, 0, 0, 0, 3, Totem_1
- P -556.9747, -284.9908, -135.1659, 0, 0, 0, 3, Totem_2
- P -394.0053, -71.6271, -174.8905, 0, 0, 0, 3, Totem_3
- P 148.1331, 203.0777, -218.2200, 0, 0, 0, 3, Totem_4
- P -374.4336, 264.5384, -186.7592, 0, 0, 0, 3, Totem_5
- P -349.8143, 127.3239, -156.7956, 0, 0, 0, 3, Totem_6
- P -623.5035, 9.0424, -71.1528, 0, 0, 0, 3, Totem_7
- P -18.1345, 457.2399, -58.5636, 0, 0, 0, 3, Totem_8
Once all 8 teams are in position kill the martyr and a totem, 2 gnarls, and 1 "a Wrext Mal mundunugu" will spawn at each location. If you do not get in position fast enough the martyr will suicide and the mobs will spawn anyway. All the mobs are mezzable so if your group has a mezzer, do so. Be careful with positioning because if you tether any mob, you will get an extra set of 3 mobs at that camp. If more than 9 players or pets are on agro at a camp, you will get an extra set of 3 mobs.
The goal is to kill all 8 mundungu within a one minute window. If one or more are killed, but not all, the camps all respawn. Once all the mundungu are dead Rottrued the Twisted spawns to the far east. This is behind the door opened in the "Defeat the Blackburrow Boss" mission. You have time to regroup and recover before engaging. Do NOT slow Rottrued!! Doing so will power up Rottrued significantly. During the fight he will gain certain resistance to spell/weapon types and rarely casts various AE's including an occasional DT. However none of this makes the mob difficult at all, simply stick a tank on him, keep him healed, and dps it to dirt.
Once Rottrued is dead head deeper east to find "a hidden agent". When you hail it despawns and spawns the chest with loot. For lore purposes you can return to Bayle and hail him, however this is not required to get your invisible flag. The invisible flag is given when Rottrued dies and the lockout is generated.
