Prerequisites

Additionally, this FATE has a cooldown of at least one hour.[1]
Additional Information
Vedrfolnir will leave at 20% hp and the fate will fail. 
Benediction is highly recommended.

Stun lock the boss, or have the

Dialogue
Vedrfolnir: Darkscale. You have no place here.
Darkscale: Silence, traitor! It is you who are guilty of trespass!
Vedrfolnir: Your crimes against kith and kin are unforgivable. You shall be made to pay.
Darkscale: Not this day, old one!
System: FATE Joined
When Darkscale's health reaches 75%
Darkscale: Impressive for one all but forgotten. Yet you turn to the sons of man for aid. Have you no pride?
Vedrfolnir: Pride is the sin which blackens your heart, Darkscale.
When Darkscale's health reaches 50%
Darkscale: You fight with fire!
Vedrfolnir: I fight with a purpose.
Darkscale: To make peace with the sons of man? Those who will only betray you again?
FATE Complete
Darkscale: This is not the end, Vedrfolnir. Hear me, my children! I return to Tharl Oom Khash! See that the traitor cannot follow!
Vedrfolnir: You will not escape so easily, Darkscale!
FATE Failed
Vedrfolnir: Ugh... You are strong... The day is yours, but you have not seen the last of me.
Darkscale: You would flee? You are a craven and a traitor both! When next we meet, you will not leave with your life.
