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.

  • When the endfight at the mountain top starts, a dimension door will open at the entrance to teleport you back to the top in case you are blown off. The command /stuck 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.

The Vault of Night (VoN)

• Level: 10-12 (heroic), 22-24 (epic)
• Flagging: Yes
  • Tharashk Arena, The Prisoner, The Jungle of Khyber, Haywire Foundry

• Timer: 2 days and 18 hours after collecting the end reward or use a Raid Timer Bypass Hourglass

  • Somebody who knows the raid fairly well should volunteer to take the Voice from Haywire and the Signet Ring from Otto Bloodknuckles - other players should leave these items alone.
  • Somebody needs to be able to open a few locked doors in order to progress through the Vault of Night area. DCs for the doors are low, so if no Rogues, Artificers or casters that know Knock are present, a Wand of Knock should do.

The Twilight Forge (Titan)

• Level: 12-14 (heroic)

  • Bring Me the Head of Ghola-Fan!, Slavers of the Shrieking Mines, optional Hiding in Plain Sight once per character!!!

  • For more detail see The Twilight Forge (story arc).

• Lockout: One in the Twilight Forge right before the end fight; one barrier right at the start of 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:
    • 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.
  • This raid is almost impossible to solo, except by exploiting an extremely niche build to bypass the water puzzle in the Red zone of the Twilight Forge and manipulating the strange behaviour of the pillars in The Titan Awakes. Three players, or two players and a class pet, are required to finish the raid normally.

• Buffs/Gear: Fire Resistance Gear, Flame Sheathe, Fire Shield (Cold), Otto's Sphere of Dancing for runners, Sunburst for Forgewraiths (Instakills up to medium size on normal)
• Lockout: Yes, after opening the first Barrier.
• Special Note: Always bring at least one caster who can use Sunburst and one who can use Otto's Sphere or you will be overwhelmed by the trash very quickly. Ranged DPS characters should keep an eye out for Forgewraith Doom Skulls, which deal more damage the longer they live and thus need to be eliminated quickly.

Project Nemesis (PN)

• 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:
    • Rudus Jump: Jump when he jumps, timing can be tricky
    • Irk Arrow of Slaying: can be deflected via Deflect Arrows
    • Zulkis Flesh to Stone: bring petrification immunity via Bracers of the Mountain, Ultimatum or Essence of Ultimatum
    • 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.

Legendary Vision of Destruction (LVoD)

• Level: 32+, for heroic see A Vision of Destruction
• Flagging: None
• Duration: Very long
• Timer: 2 days and 18 hours after collecting the end reward or use a Raid Timer Bypass Hourglass

• Bane weapons: Evil Outsider, Lawful Outsider
• Buffs/Gear: Resist Fire/Electricity/Sonic, Electricity and maybe Fire Absorption, Proof Against Poison, Proof Against Disease, Feather Falling (to get there), Greater Restoration, Deathblock, Death Ward, Resurrection, Remove Curse - Potion and spell highly recommended for most/all players due to frequency of curse attacks here.
• Lockout: Yes, the portal in the entrance room closes, when the 1st fight begins.
• Special Note:
  • The raid boss regularly places a curse on his melee target or the whole raid which prevents healing. Remove this curse whenever possible.

Legendary Master Artificer (LMA)

• Level: 32+, for heroic see The Master Artificer
• 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, Vorpal, Ranged or Thrown Weapons are needed
• Bane weapons: Construct

  • Titans get weaker and lose features around 25% HP.

Legendary Lord of Blades (LLoB)

• 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)

• 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)

• 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)

• 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)

• 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)

• 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 challenge 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. (On Elite and Reaper, having somebody with Trap the Soul and decent Spell Penetration becomes near essential for Blood Plate's fight to keep his shield deactivated by instakilling the Circles of Great Scorn.)

Threats Old and New (Threats)

• 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 is absolutely essential, Magical Resistance Rating
• Lockout: Yes, after speaking to Phathroi (quest door stops allowing access)
• Special Note: All three 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, Kathul Sep passively deals bursts of heavy magical damage to any player that strays too close to her, 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.

Den of Vipers (DoV / Den)

• Level: 36
• 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: Animal, Humanoid, Evil Outsider, Monstrous Humanoid, Undead
• Buffs/Gear: Poison and Evil Absorption will be useful, Magical Resistance Rating is a must
• Lockout: Yes, after speaking to Ragmareth
• Special Note: As raids go this one is honestly reasonably uncomplicated - your biggest challenge is probably the DPS check against the heads in the end fight. Party communication to keep the ritual circles charged will be important on higher difficulties, and a reasonable degree of self-sufficiency for running through the random corridor section is also desirable. Familiarity with Balor attack patterns from Fire Over Morgrave will help greatly if your party is doing the Ragmareth optional at the start.

Relentless

• Level: 36
• 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: Construct, Elemental, Humanoid
• Buffs/Gear: Light damage is useful, Poison Absorption and high PRR is essential for a tank or melee DPS character
• Lockout: Yes, after speaking to Arno
• Special Note: This is a surprisingly easy raid, all things considered - just bear in mind that you should never stand underneath the statues in the courtyard fight, and that there is a chance you'll be yanked off to a side room you can't leave until you kill a Helmed Horror. If you're playing a spellcaster, you'll either need to learn the spell point drain mechanics in the Mudman fight and how to avoid them, or bring SP regeneration items, as there are no shrines here.
