How the run goes

A titan vault under the Badlands. The first half runs through the dig sites and trogg caverns past Revelosh and the Lost Dwarves; the Staff of Prehistoria opens Ironaya's chamber; the second half goes north through the temple halls to Archaedas in Khaz'Goroth's Seat.

Group: A tank, a healer and three damage dealers from around level 42. Trogg and dwarf packs include healers and casters, so bring crowd control; Archaedas's constructs need area damage and a steady tank.

    • Ground TremorStuns nearby enemies, rendering them unable to move or attack for 2 sec.

    The titan watcher in the vault. He wakes Earthen Guardians during the fight, then large Vault Warders, and hits everyone with Ground Tremor.

    Tanks
    Hold Archaedas and pick up each group of guardians as they wake; a second tank or pet for the warders helps.
    Healers
    Damage rises with each wave of constructs; keep mana for the Vault Warders at the end.
    Damage dealers
    Kill the guardians as they wake with area damage, and save cooldowns for the Vault Warders.

Before you go

  • Save crowd control for trogg groups containing healers.
  • Agree on who will activate the final altar and handle construct waves before starting Archaedas.
  • The level spread is wide; a party comfortable with early bosses may still struggle with the final vault.
  • No entrance attunement. Combine the Shaft of Tsol and Gni'kiv Medallion into the Staff of Prehistoria to open Ironaya's chamber.
