How the run goes
An Auchindoun tomb taken over by ethereals. Pandemonius, Tavarok and Nexus-Prince Shaffar stand along a short loop; on Heroic, Yor can be released from his cell.
Group: A tank, a healer and three damage dealers from about level 64. Ethereal casters burn mana and come in groups with sorcerers; interrupts and crowd control keep it easy.
