Known Traps
Tips and Misc
- The parts to the Ballistas are down the different paths and around the ruined keep. They are randomly placed on a fixed set of locations, and will NOT show up until you fully start the challenge and at least 4 minutes have passed; you will get a message suggesting to repair the ballistae at the time the parts start appearing. It takes 4 parts per ballista, so 8 total to get the optional star reward.
- If one of the Purple Knights falls, the shield around Arganon will fall and all enemies will immediately aggro on him.
- You can heal the two purple knights, but they are such bags of HP that it might be more efficient to let them fall, and defend Arganon.
- After a few moments, the Purple Knights will get up again, fully healed, and return to the fight.
- You can also heal Arganon, but he is also a bag of HP.
- It seems that the Knights and Arganon have reduced benefit from healing. The knights will get about 4 points for every 25 and Arganon will get about 1 point for every 25.
- When the Spell Ward is completed, all enemies will start with high aggro on it. Any current enemies will immediately aggro on it.
- Claive the Carver is a high CR enemy. You will get a warning when you approach that it is a tough fight. (on level 15, he has 7000+ hp with one player and one hire)
- Occasionally, this challenge will not complete when the timer finishes. Relogging will complete the challenge and grant experience.
Challenge Duration
- Fixed: 10 minutes
- The timer for this challenges only starts when you talk to Arganon, allowing you to properly buff everyone without any rush.
- If you fail to protect the spell ward, the challenge will finish immediately.
