The Gilded Market and Patrol Captain Gerdo
Patrol Captain Gerdo Trash
Before the fight with Talixae Flamewreath, players who are Rogues or have the Alchemy profession can poison the Flask of the Solemn Night. When the boss reaches 25% health and attempts to consume the flask, it will instantly die instead of becoming empowered.
- Watch out for the Duskwatch Guard‘s
Quelling Strike frontal ability (it always goes on your tank. In addition, use Purge or Dispel effects once you see them cast 
Fortification, it will reduce their damage taken by 25% and increase their Haste by 25%! - Step away from the Mana Wyrm once they reach critical health levels. Upon death, they will cast
Wild Detonation, which you must avoid at all costs. - Guardian Constructs is the toughest mob in this area; make sure you always interrupt its
Suppress silence channel cast. In addition, they will cast 
Charging Station; if not interrupted, it will heal and increase the damage of the nearby mobs. This is going to be your priority-target to kill! - Stop the Duskwatch Sentry once they run toward the nearby Signaling Beacon. If they finish the
Sound Alarm, they will spawn a few trash mobs that give no count, so make sure you stop them at all costs! (Using stun is a great way to stop it). - Sidestep the Charged Blast from Bound Energy.
- Mana Saber will always cast
Mana Fang on the furthest enemy; use a personal defensive if you are at low health.
Patrol Captain Gerdo Guide
Rogue and players with Alchemy profession, can interact with Flask of the Solemn Night and poison it before the fight begins. This will allow you, once the boss goes for its Flask of the Solemn Night to instantly die rather than empowering itself (she casts that ability at 25% health).
All Roles
- Avoid the Resonant Slash frontal-cone ability.
- Once you see the
Arcane Lockdown cast, jump 3 to remove the 3 applications of the debuff (you can also dispel it). - If you have de-activated all the Signaling Beacons upon the cast, the boss will not be able to summon any Vigilant Duskwatcher.
Tank
- If any Vigilant Duskwatchers spawn, take the aggro and stack them close to the Patrol Captain Gerdo to allow your DPS to cleave all targets simultaneously.
Healer
- Dispel the Arcane Lockdown
- If any Vigilant Duskwatcher, watch out for their
Hinder cast. Yes, you can dispel the stun effect! - If you do not have Rogue or anyone with Alchemy profession, use your healing cooldowns once the Patrol Captain Gerdo casts Flask of the Solemn Night.
Midnight Court and Talixae Flamewreath
Talixae Flamewreath Trash
The trash mobs in the Midnight Court area are relatively straightforward, but there are a few things to keep in mind. The Gilded Ravagers will cast Golden Bomb which will deal damage and stun anyone caught in the blast radius. Court Attendees will cast Courtyard Sweep which will knock players back, so it’s important to be aware of your positioning. Finally, Dreadful Huntresses will occasionally cast Debilitating Shriek, which will deal damage and reduce the healing received by anyone caught in the area of effect.
The three minibosses that you must defeat before reaching Talixae Flamewreath are:
1. Broker Bo’tzun: This miniboss has a number of tricks up his sleeve. He will periodically cast Shroud of Concealment, making himself and his allies temporarily invisible. He will also cast Coin Sweep, which will deal damage and knock players back. Finally, he will summon several Broker’s Menagerie adds, which must be dealt with quickly.
2. Oranomonos the Everbranching: This miniboss is essentially a large tree with a variety of attacks. He will periodically cast Overgrowth, which will root players in place. He will also summon Wild Hunt Worgs adds, which must be dealt with quickly. Finally, he will cast Rotten Breath, which will deal damage and reduce the healing received by anyone caught in the area of effect.
3. Devout Darkness: This miniboss is a caster who will periodically cast Shadow Bolt at a random player. He will also summon Dark Manifestations adds, which must be dealt with quickly. Finally, he will cast Siphon Life, which will drain health from all players and heal himself.
Once you have defeated these minibosses, you will be able to engage Talixae Flamewreath.
- Watch out for Blazing Imps‘
Drifting Embers. Do not underestimate them just because they have lower health; use mass stun effects to stop the channel cast when available. - Use defensive when Watchful Inquisitors are casting
Eye Storm. This is a high-damage alert and your healer must be ready with their cooldowns if needed! - Interrupt the
Bewitch cast from Shadow Mistress. In addition, your tank must pay attention to 
Shadow Slash, especially if they pull that trash mob with any other non-boss-enemies. - Beware of the Legion Hound and their
Felblaze Leap. It will always go on a random target, which can catch you by surprise! - At last, the mandatory Felbound Enforcers you must kill in this area. They have only one cast —
Fel Detonation, which you can line off sight before it ends to avoid the massive damage you will take from it!
You must defeat the 3 minibosses that surround Talixae Flamewreath since each of the demonic emissaries will grant 
Bond of Cunning aura, which will make the boss fight significantly harder. Here is what each of them does.
Baalgar the Watchful
Baalgar the Watchful will have 2 important abilities 
Disintegration Beam and 
Impending Doom. Your kicks should go on Disintegration Beam and your healer must be aware of how Impending Doom works — it will always go on a 2 random players from your party. Upon dispelling, it will trigger an AoE explosion to all enemies.
Imacu’tya
Imacu’tya will be annoying for melee players since you must run out of melee when she casts 
Whirling Blades. In addition, make sure you interrupt her 
Scream of Pain cast, or else it will damage everyone in your party.
Jazsharlu
Jazsharlu has lethal frontal cast — 
Shockwave, which will stun you and 
Crushing Leap, randomly targeting anyone from your party and dealing damage to them.
Talixae Flamewreath Guide
All Roles
- Interrupt all
Withering Soul casts. - Stack together for the
Infernal Eruption, but make sure you do not get hit by the initial damage. - Focus on the Infernal Imps as soon as they spawn from Infernal Eruption.
Tank
- Stack all the Infernal Imps on top of the Talixae Flamewreath.
Healer
- Be ready to top up your party when Talixae Flamewreath is casting
Burning Intensity. - If Withering Soul cast goes through, you can dispel the effect.
The Jeweled Estate and Advisor Melandrus
Advisor Melandrus Trash
Gerenth the Vile is the only boss in this wing, and it is a relatively straightforward fight. The boss will summon Fury of the Fel, which is basically an add that you want to prioritize. Gerenth the Vile will also occasionally cast Felblast, which is an ability that will damage and stun players in a small area. It is important to avoid this ability, especially on higher difficulties. Additionally, the boss will have an ability called Draw Soul, which will slowly drain the life of the targeted player and will give the boss a healing effect based on the amount of health drained. Players need to quickly break the channeling of this ability by damaging the boss. Finally, the boss will have an ability called Nether Rip, which is a frontal cone attack that will damage and knockback players. You want to avoid this ability by positioning yourself behind the boss. Overall, this boss fight is not too difficult, but it can be challenging if you do not prioritize the adds and avoid the avoidable abilities.
Shadow Bolt Volley is unavoidable AoE damage that will be cast upon your party every couple of seconds.- Your tank must beware with
Vampiric Claws as it deals serious initial damage and heals the Gerenth the Vile. - Your whole party must pay attention to the
Hypnosis Bat and use a stun effect to stop his cast; otherwise, the person that gets targeted by it will be charmed and turn hostile.
All Roles
Blade Surge will be cast on the furthest player from your party, dealing serious initial damage and leaving a hard ticking 
Bleed effect, so you want to “bait” it at a good spot. Reminder, after the charge, the boss will leave an image of Advisor Melandrus.- Avoid the rotating
Piercing Gales on the ground. They will appear at the location where Advisor Melandrus begins his Blade Surge cast. - Avoid the Piercing Gale ground animation. Remember that any images of Advisor Melandrus will copy this ability when cast.
Tank
- Continuously relocate the boss so you avoid any nearby images of Advisor Melandrus and their Piercing Gales.
Healer
- Use your healing cooldowns when the boss is casting
Slicing Maelstrom. A reminder that images of Advisor Melandrus will also copy this ability when cast.
