Help! Am I Raid Ready
This article summarizes the flags, weapons and gear necessary for raids and other quests requiring flagging.
When you join a raid, go with an open mind and listen real well. It needs often times good coordination, timing and communication. A raid can be fun but failing is a huge waste of time, resources and is certainly not fun.
Before you read this article, you should read What should I bring to a raid?. However good you may think your preparation is, you can always improve it.
Good to know as well: Raid loot mechanic.

works, too, if you haven't moved after you were thrown off. - This raid can be very long, but much of it can be skipped via a shortcut across the mountain face. Make sure to stick with the main group on your first time as it can be difficult to spot where you need to go.

- Special Note: Both of these raids can easily be made unwinnable, so make sure the entire party understands what they need to do:
- For the Twilight Forge, the Green tile puzzle room can easily be broken, necessitating a reset - it is advisable this puzzle is done first, to save time if a restart is necessary, and that one player gets a guide and follows it very carefully. In addition, make sure the whole party understands that the coloured seals are in finite supply and that your party needs to have at least one of each in total near the end, or you may be confronted with an impassable barrier right at the end of the raid.
- For The Titan Awakes, the end boss can only be defeated by dropping pillars on it and then shooting it with a laser. Since there are eight pillars and six shots need to hit, there is very little room for error. Be certain before starting that all pets, summoned creatures, and AoE damage effects are turned off.
- To reach the entrance to the raid you may use Greater Teleport or you have to travel through a non-raid wilderness (6 man group).
- You won't be on timer, if you don't complete The Titan Awakes.
- Not soloable. Three players, or two players that both have pets, are needed for the underwater puzzle section in the Twilight Forge, and at least three players are needed for The Titan Awakes.
- Special Note: Both of these raids can easily be made unwinnable, so make sure the entire party understands what they need to do:

- Level: 32+
- Flagging: None
- Duration: Long
- Timer: 2 Days 18 Hours after receiving end reward or use a Raid Timer Bypass Hourglass
- General weapons:
- Bane weapons:
- Buffs/Gear: Fire Resistance, Fire Shield, Lightning Resistance, Lightning Shield, Deflect Missiles, Remove Curse or Curse Immunity for elite and above
- Lockout: Yes, after talking to the Magic Mouth
- Special Note:
- Multiple Tanks advised, up to 5 bosses will be fought at once, each with at least one dangerous ability:

- Gish Chains and PRR Reduction: Dedicated high PRR tank
- Qaspiel Cometfall trip: high saves/balance
- Communication and roles knowledge are important: Laser needs to know boss position and when to fire, constructors need to be killed to prevent puzzle resets/raid failure. On Elite and above, Qaspiel's curse attack needs to be removed quickly or it will start dealing several thousand damage every five seconds.
- If running on Elite or Reaper, everybody needs access to Remove Curse or Curse Immunity. Qaspiel will regularly apply a powerful curse to all players dealing several thousand points of Bane damage every three seconds. You must be able to remove this curse yourself - do not rely on a healer.
- Multiple Tanks advised, up to 5 bosses will be fought at once, each with at least one dangerous ability:

Legendary Lord of Blades (LLoB)[edit]
- Level: 32+, for heroic see The Lord of Blades
- Flagging: None
- Duration: Long
- Timer: 2 days and 18 hours after collecting the end reward or use a Raid Timer Bypass Hourglass
- General weapons: Smiting, (Adamantine + Holy aligned to bypass Lord of Blades DR), High DPS non-elemental weaponry recommended
- Bane weapons: Construct, Aberration
- Buffs/Gear: Electricity and Fire Resistance, Electricity Absorption, Proof Against Poison, Greater Restoration, Deathblock, Death Ward, Freedom of Movement, Remove Curse, Prismatic Spray (spell or scroll) and/or Prismatic Ray (spell or scroll), Resurrection
- Lockout: Yes, actually two. 1st barrier appears close to the entrance of the quest, at the first arch/door, and gets activated at the first fight. The 2nd barrier comes up when you start the endfight. The bridge vanishes and the entrance is blocked by an energy barrier, making it impossible to use the shrine.
- Special Note:
- The acid water does insane damage, which you can interpret as an instakill. The Lord tends to push you into it, if you are too close to the edge of the island.
- If you go for 3 rounds, leave 4 pillars standing or you run the risk of accidentally destroying the last pillar too early.
The Dryad and the Demigod (Dryad)[edit]
- Level: 32+
- Flagging: None
- Duration: Long
- Timer: 2 days and 18 hours after collecting the end reward or use a Raid Timer Bypass Hourglass
- General weapons:
- Bane weapons: Giant, Animal, Fey
- Buffs/Gear: Alignment or Evil Absorption, Sonic Resistance, Sonic Absorption, Greater Restoration, Deathblock, Death Ward, Resurrection
- Lockout: Yes, once spoken to Hawthorn and raid started, entry to the quest is not possible
- Special Note:
- On Normal and Hard, a character with a high bluff can really speed things up.
- Make sure someone can reliably kite the unicorns in the centre - if friendly NPC Hawthorne gets hit too often, it's an instant failure.
- If either phase takes too long, dancing will start - and most likely start killing people.
- The purple-named boss in this raid, Scath, is actually entirely optional and grants no reward if killed. Don't waste your DPS on him until King Irgroll is at zero health - if your DPS is good enough, you may be able to defeat him during the ending cutscene, but until then just kite him away from the group if targeted.
Hunt or Be Hunted (Hunt)[edit]
- Level: 32
- Flagging: None
- Duration: Long
- Timer: 2 Days 18 Hours after receiving end reward or use a Raid Timer Bypass Hourglass
- General weapons:
- Bane weapons: Plant, Animal, Fey
- Buffs/Gear: Death Ward, Freedom of Movement, Resurrection, Petrification Immunity, Sonic Absorption, Cold Absorption
- Lockout: Yes, after the party gathers in the first room (quest NPC stops allowing access)
- Special Note: Make sure to check the raid page for information on the Souls of the Hunted mechanic. This can be a complicated one and understanding it is vital to quest completion.
Skeletons in the Closet (Skeletons)[edit]
- Level: 34
- Flagging: None
- Duration: Long
- Timer: 2 Days 18 Hours after receiving end reward or use a Raid Timer Bypass Hourglass
- General weapons: Bludgeoning (nearly all trash enemies are Skeletons)
- Bane weapons: Undead, Aberration
- Buffs/Gear: Death Ward, Resurrection, Sonic Absorption, Fire Absorption, Evil Absorption if going for the secret ending
- Lockout: Yes, when the first set of runes is activated (quest door stops allowing access)
- Special Note:
- The boss battle of this raid requires strong party cohesion to pull off. Make sure you and your party understand the mechanics of the Dark Secrets and the devastating Roar attack used by Death's Teeth - either can cause a wipe if handled badly. Also, make sure Death's Teeth is moved to the central platform at about 20% HP to avoid the bother of him being healed. If you're just here for the loot, a named chest with all the Attuned Bone items drops after the The Mountain Keeper is slain - you can then recall and reset without activating the timer.
- If your party leader decides that you are going for the secret "true" ending (generally the default at this point), make sure to go and read the page on Skeletons in the Closet before starting. This ending is long, difficult to obtain, and the boss fight is much harder than the one in the standard ending, so it's important you understand what you're letting yourself in for. (This ending is required if you want to loot the named raid augments for Dinosaur Bone crafting, the named Raptor mount or the non-Dinosaur-Bone named items.)
Fire Over Morgrave (FoM)[edit]
- Level: 34
- Flagging: None
- Duration: Long
- Timer: 2 Days 18 Hours after receiving end reward or use a Raid Timer Bypass Hourglass
- General weapons: Good-aligned
- Bane weapons: Evil Outsider
- Buffs/Gear: Death Ward, Resurrection, Evil Absorption, Fire Absorption
- Lockout: Yes, after speaking to the Dean (quest door stops allowing access)
- Special Note: This raid is honestly fairly simple with a good tank. Assign one or two strong melee characters to keep Vrock Doom Dancer numbers down and remember that Risia Ice Orbs should only be broken when Zweilanar is both nearby and currently on fire.
The Chronoscope (Legendary)[edit]
- Level: 32
- Flagging: None
- Duration: Long
- Timer: 2 Days 18 Hours after receiving end reward or use a Raid Timer Bypass Hourglass
- General weapons: Silver, Holy aligned, Vorpal, Banishing, Anarchic
- Bane weapons: Evil Outsider, Lawful Outsider,
- Buffs/Gear: Proof Against Poison, Resist Electricity/Fire/Cold/Acid (No sonic here despite the orthons), Remove Curse spells/potions, Lesser Restoration (and Full restore on higher difficulties), Death Ward, Freedom of Movement, Raise Dead
- Lockout: Yes, after unlocking the Steam Tunnels by speaking to Veheer (quest door stops allowing access)
- Special Note: The Legendary version of this raid includes several mechanics not found in the Epic version, such as Abishai regenerating unless taking specific types of damage and the Circles of Great Scorn in Razor Arm's fight, which you should read up on before running it, as they are tricky to work out in the field and can potentially make things much harder. Note also that the difficulty ramps up quickly between difficulties - Normal is much easier than a standard Legendary raid, but on R1 the raid is one of the hardest in the game.
Threats Old and New[edit]
- Level: 35
- Flagging: None
- Duration: Long
- Timer: 2 Days 18 Hours after receiving end reward or use a Raid Timer Bypass Hourglass
- General weapons: Good-aligned, Bludgeoning against Skeletons
- Bane weapons: Dragon, Humanoid, Undead
- Buffs/Gear: Fire Absorption, Magical Resistance Rating
- Lockout: Yes, after speaking to Phathroi (quest door stops allowing access)
- Special Note: Both major fights in this raid have one complicated bit you should be wary of - Commander Ophael respawns repeatedly until the Portal Keepers in the rooms behind her are slain, and Karliath has a nasty attack that marks players with a countdown effect that hurts other players nearby them when it expires. Remember to try and pull Bone Guards into Dead Magic Zones before killing them - this will prevent Red Wizards from raising them again and speed things up considerably.
