2. Quests↑top

3. Thalnos the Soulrender↑top

During your encounter with Thalnos the Soulrender, there is one importantthing to watch out for: Raise Fallen Crusader. This ability raises enemiesfrom the dead to fight against you. Disposing of these enemies is not an issue, butright after you do, Thalnos will cast Summon Empowering Spirits. This abilitycreates a spirit that tries to take possession of the body of the nearest deadfallen crusader. If you do not kill the spirit before it does so, you will haveto contend with an Empowered Zombie for the remainder of the fight. Theseenemies have too much health to be killed and they keep attackingtheir target (so they need to be tanked).

Other than that, try to interrupt Spirit Gale. This ability creates aspirit that travels quickly to Thalnos' current target. When the spirit reaches its target, itcreates a Spirit Gale, which inflicts instant damage to players within2 yards and then deals damage, every second, to players standing in it.

Healers need to be aware of Evict Soul, a powerful DoT/debuff that canbe dispelled.

3.1. Achievement: Empowered Spiritualist

To complete Empowered Spiritualist, you need to defeatThalnos the Soulrender while three Empowered Zombies are alive.At the moment, the achievement can be completed in the Normal version ofthe dungeon, which makes it trivial.

If you want to attempt it in Heroic mode, then you should try to getThalnos low on life (between 5 and 10%) and then stop DPSinguntil you have 3 Empowered Zombies.

4. Brother Korloff↑top

The fight against Brother Korloff is very straightforward. WhileKorloff will use a number of abilities, they can all be easily avoided.

• When he casts Blazing Fists, do not stand in front of him.
• When he casts Firestorm Kick, move away from his landing zone.
• When he is below 50% health, he leaves a trail of flames behind him whenhe moves, thanks to Scorched Earth. Do not stand in the flames.

Blazing Fists	Firestorm Kick	Scorched Earth

Also, because of Rising Flame, he will deal increasing damage as thefight goes on. This is something that the healer and tank need to be aware of.

4.1. Achievement: Burning Man

To complete Burning Man, you need to make Brother Korloff setsix nearby training dummies on fire.

Only Blazing Fists and Firestorm Kick will set a trainingdummy on fire.

• Blazing Fists causes Korloff to attack an area in front of him,so have the tank always face the boss in such a way that he always has atraining dummy in front of him.
• Firestorm Kick causes Korloff to target the location of a randomparty member, so have everyone position themselves on a non-lit trainingdummy.

Note that there is no time limit involved. When a dummy is lit, it will staythat way until the end of the fight.

5. High Inquisitor Whitemane↑top

The fight against High Inquisitor Whitemane is a two-phase fight. Beforestarting the fight, you should first clear the entire room.

• In Phase One, you have to defeat Commander Durand in a typical tank andspank fight.
• In Phase Two, Whitemane appears, resurrects Duran, and you get to fight themboth at once.

5.1. Phase One

As said above, you first have to defeat Commander Durand in a typical tankand spank fight. Durand has only two abilities: Flash of Steel and Dashing Strike.

• Flash of Steel causes Durand to perform a series of unavoidable attackson random players.
• Dashing Strike causes Durand to dash to a location, damagingeveryone in his path.

All you really need to do here is to avoid Dashing Strike.

5.2. Phase Two

After killing Durand, High Inquisitor Whitemane comes. You fight her fora few seconds, then she puts everyone to sleep and resurrects Commander Durand,who retains Flash of Steel and Dashing Strike.

The most important thing in this fight is to interrupt Whitemane when she casts Mass Resurrection. This spell resurrects all her fallen allieswithin 100 yards. If you fail to interrupt this cast, you will most likely wipe.

With that in mind, you should kill Durand first and then finish off Whitemane whoalso casts two other abilities: Heal and Power Word: Shield.

• Heal heals her target (herself or Durand) for a largeamount. Interrupt it.
• Power Word: Shield places an absorption shield on herself orDurand. This effect can be dispelled or spell-stolen.

5.3. Achievement: And Stay Dead!

To complete And Stay Dead!, you need to let High Inquisitor Whitemanecomplete a cast of Mass Resurrection and resurrects all herallies, before defeating her.

When her allies are resurrected, you should use all your cooldowns to stay aliveand burn them as fast as you can.

One trick that may work is that when you clear the trash in the chapel, youshould kite them away from the chapel and kill them more than 100 yards (themaximum range of Mass Resurrection) from the locationwhere you will fight Whitemane.
