Griffon Master Ayna'Rym

A mini-boss fight which can be skipped. To trigger the fight have a few (some say 1, some 3, some 6, need confirmation) gather close to her and say "fight". No information on Ayna'Rym's melee, but she casts Crushing Despair, a 1500 dot and 500 mana/end drain with 8 corruption counters, on random people. Once the fight starts there are 2 auras that move around:

  • Billowing Breeze - 3k increase to max mana/endurance, +250 mana/endurance per tick
  • Gust of Ashengate Wind - a large flux
Keep levitation on to try and avoid being knockbacked off the ledge and stay in the good aura. Meanwhile the 2 pet griffons will periodically emote puffs up its chest which is followed shortly by Call of the Griffon, a PBAE 12k dd, 2250 dot, and silence, which can only be avoided by getting out of line of sight of the griffon. There are also reports of occasional adds, need confirmation.

Ayna'Rym drops a Mark of Vergalid to backflag Vergalid kill, 2 Glowing Obsidian Rune, 1 groupable Ashengate augment, and 1 of the following:

Stitch's Ambush

When you reach the north end of the East wing move everybody into the area between the gates. Once you click the gate from the inside they will lock and the event starts. For 15 minutes increasingly difficult waves of adds will spawn and attack: assassins (blue), cutthroats (white), and murderers (yellow). The murderers are immune to mez. Be sure to agro them all since if one happens to spawn outside agro range and left alone, the event can reset on you. While dealing with the waves Stitch will cast a targeted AE Tainted Arrow Salvo. This is a 2k dd, 500 dot, and melee slow to any near the target. It has 8 corruption counters and if not cured in 30 second it turns into Tainted Arrow Effect, a 1 minute 2500 dot with 16 corruption counters.

After 15 minutes of adds Krait the Bloodletter spawns. Krait might cast Crushing Despair, a 1500 dot and 500 mana/end drain with 8 corruption counters, but this is unconfirmed. Burn Krait down, all adds despawn when he dies.

"Stitch`s ambush chest" contains a Mark of Vergalid to backflag Vergalid kill, 2 Glowing Obsidian Rune, 1 groupable Ashengate augment, and 1 of the following:

Stitch

Stay inside the Ambush area and med up as the Stitch event can start as soon as you exit the gate. At the start you are attacked by two large spiders:

Cinderweb
Hits for 4500 and casts a 600 dot and root on the tank
Pyrachnid
Hits for 4500, flurries, single and AE rampage.
When either spider reaches 40% Stitch will become agro. He hits for almost 7k, can flurry, and casts Tainted Arrow Salvo just like in the ambush. Furthermore while Stitch is active a bunch of magmatic spiderlings spawn every 75 seconds. These have ver low health but can hit for up to 3000 each. When Cinderweb and Pyrachnid die a 7k AE goes off for each.

The general idea is to take both main spiders to 50% (melee on Cinderweb, casters on Pyrachnid), then burn one down while a tank picks up Stitch. Heal the AE from spider death, handle a wave of spider adds from Stitch, kill other spider, heal the AE, handle another wave of spider adds, and take Stitch down. All while keeping Tainted Arrow cured.

Once all three are dead a chest spawns containing 2 Mark of Vergalid to backflag Vergalid kill, 2 Glowing Obsidian Rune, 2 Armor Molds (no legs or chest), chance at a Serpent's Essence, and 2 of the following:
