Official Overview (Blizzard)

At the start of the encounter, Feludius and Ignacious enter the battle. Arion and Terrastra then watch from the balconies above.

Abilities

Stage Two: We Will Handle Them!

Once either Feludius or Ignacious reaches 25% health, both Councillors retreat. Arion and Terrastra then descend from above to carry on the fight.

Arion

Ascendant Councillor of Air

Call Winds

Arion focuses and agitates the nearby air into a violent cyclone. This cyclone wanders randomly around the room for 50 sec before dissipating. The cyclones knock upwards any player who touches them and inflict the Swirling Winds effect on that player.

Swirling Winds

After contact with one of Arion's cyclones, a cloud of swirling air coalesces beneath the feet of a player and lifts them off the ground for 2 min. The Grounded effect cancels the Swirling Winds effect.

Thundershock

Arion unleashes a massive electrical storm that fills the room with crackling lightning, inflicting 0 Nature damage to all players. Players with the Grounded effect take greatly reduced damage.

Lightning Rod

Arion marks a random player as a target for a forthcoming Chain Lightning attack.

Chain Lightning

Arion fires an arcing pulse of lightning at all players marked as Lightning Rods, inflicting 0 Nature damage and bouncing to additional nearby players within 15 yards. The damage inflicted by Chain Lightning increases as the pulse bounces to additional players.

Disperse

Arion dissolves into swirling wind and materializes elsewhere in the room, then casts Lightning Blast.

Lightning Blast

Arion blasts his primary target with concentrated lightning, inflicting 0 Nature damage.

Terrastra

Ascendant Councillor of Earth

Gravity Well

Terrastra creates a pocket of intense gravity near a random player. The Gravity Well periodically inflicts 380 Nature damage to players within 0 yards and draws them into its pull for 30 sec. Players pulled into Gravity Wells gain the Grounded effect.

Grounded

After contact with one of Terrastra's gravity wells, the player gains the Grounded effect. This lasts for 2 min., but Swirling Winds lift the player from the ground and removes this effect.

Harden Skin

Terrastra's skin hardens into solid rock, increasing his Physical damage dealt by 20% and absorbing 50% of all damage taken, up to 0 for 30 sec. If Terrastra reaches this threshold before the effect ends, Terrastra's rocky skin shatters, causing him to suffer all the damage that Harden Skin absorbed.

Quake

Terrastra sends massive shockwaves through the earth, inflicting 0 Physical damage to all players. Players with the Swirliing Winds effect take no damage.

Eruption

Terrastra causes rocky spikes to emerge from the ground around his feet. Each spike impales players within 0 yards of it, inflicting 0 Physical damage and knocking them up in the air.

Feludius

Frozen Orb

Feludius summons a sphere of pure Frost energy to relentlessly pursue a random player. The sphere gains speed over time. If the Frozen Orb reaches its target, it explodes and inflicts 0 Frost damage on all players.

Ignacious

Flame Strike

Ignacious targets the location of a random player, then launches a massive fireball towards that location. The Flame Strike deals 0 Fire damage on impact and leaves a lingering patch of fire. This fire inflicts 0 Fire damage every 1 sec. to players within 7 yards.

Stage Three: BEHOLD YOUR DOOM!

Once either Arion or Terrastra reaches 25% health, the Councillors grow impatient and place all combatants in a stasis field. All four Councillors combine to form the Elementium Monstrosity, beginning the final phase of the encounter.

Elementium Monstrosity

The initial health of the Elementium Monstrosity equals the combined remaining health of each of the four Councillors.

Electric Instability

Every 1 sec. the Monstrosity zaps nearby players with electrical bolts for 0 Nature damage. The electrical bolt chains to nearby players. The Elementium Monstrosity is an unstable creature and emanates increasing amounts of electrical energy over time. The increased energy causes the electrical bolts to strike an increasing number of targets.

Gravity Crush

The Elementium Monstrosity traps a player in a gravity bubble, lifting them off the ground and crushing them for 6% of their maximum health every 0.5 sec for 6.5 sec. When the effect ends, the player falls to the ground.

Lava Seed

The Elementium Monstrosity showers the surrounding area with kernels of pure Flame energy. Each Lava Seed erupts and inflicts 0 Fire damage to any player within 4 yards.

Cryogenic Aura

The preternaturally cold Monstrosity reduces all damage taken by 25% and freezes the ground beneath it. The Monstrosity continually forms pools of Liquid Ice beneath its feet. These pools inflict 0 Frost damage every 1 sec to players that stand within them. Pools of Liquid Ice expand while they remain in contact with the Monstrosity.
