The fall of Nidhogg brought an end not only to the Dragonsong War, but also to the hierarchy of power that reigned upon Sohm Al. Bereft of its dreaded leader, the Horde scattered to the four winds, leaving the dragons' sacred grounds untended and unguarded. All manner of beastly intruders now skitter within, irresistibly drawn by the energies of bountiful crystal lodes. And the molten heart at the mountain's core beats with feverish intensity, as if seeking to expel some nesting parasite. Answer Vidofnir's plea! Cleanse the stone halls of their infestations, and return Sohm Al to its former tranquility.

Enemies

Bosses

Sohm Al (Hard) Dungeon Guide
  • Wild Horn Mini TB.
  • Inflamable Fumes Raidwide.
  • Spore Sac Spawns many untargetable small spore sacs, which each explode in an AoE after a while.
    • After the first cast, each successive cast spawns an additional (bigger) spore sac, which instead explodes in a proximity AoE. i.e. the second cast has 1 spore sac, the third cast has 2 spore sacs etc.
  • Excretion Damages a target. Inflicts 30s of Heavy.

This boss incorporates standard cyclops and diresaur mechanics. It uses telegraphed attacks with invisible castbars. Similar bosses are the Coincounter (cyclops) from The Aurum Vale and the Giruveganauses (diresaurs) from The Stone Vigil (Hard).

  • Volcanic Howl Raidwide. The boss gains temporary Damage Up, which makes it glow red and enhances its attacks.
  • Ripper Claw Dodgeable cleave. Telegraphed by the boss raising its left arm.
    • When the boss is buffed, also spawns a tornado where the MT was that explodes with knockback after a few seconds.
  • Tail Smash Dodgeable backwards cleave with knockback. Telegraphed by the boss twisting to its left and raising its tail.
    • Tail Swing Dodgeable melee-range circular cleave with knockback. Used instead of Tail Smash when the boss is buffed, and has the same telegraph.
  • Fireball Faces a target and remembers their location, then does an AoE there. Telegraphed by the boss standing upright and putting its hands together.
    • Lava Flow Faces a target, then channels a continuous cone AoE. Used instead of Fireball when the boss is buffed, and has the same telegraph.
  • Wild Charge Charges up to a target in a line AoE with knockback. Telegraphed by the boss taking a shoulder charge stance.
    • Hot Charge Charges in the direction of a target in a line AoE with massive knockback. Used instead of Wild Charge when the boss is buffed, and has the same telegraph.

All the above attacks except Volcanic Howl (but including the tornado) inflict 8s of uncleansable Infirmity. If 0 damage is taken, such as due to shields or invincibility, the debuff is not applied (like in T5).

Despite the invisible castbars, the boss's telegraphs can be seen in the battle log when the animation starts, e.g. "Gowrow readies Ripper Claw."

  • Molten Silk 270° telegraphed close range cleave. Safe zone is directly behind. Often turns around and repeats from the other side.
  • Deadly Thrust Very high damage attack on primary target.
  • Hiss Summons 2-4 Scorpions which should be killed.
  • Realm Shaker Short range circular AoE around boss.
  • Flying Press Randomly marks a party member for a moderate attack with splash damage. Will create lava puddles near point of impact, as well as expanding existing puddles.

The lava puddles left behind by some of his attacks do high damage. Move toward the boss if necessary so you don't have to run through them to get back. Scorpion's Claw adds will also create lava puddles and need to be killed before they complete the Borehole cast. Scorpion's Tail adds use a less powerful version of Deadly Thrust.

Beware Deadly Thrust in conjunction with damage from adds. Healers should be ready and tanks may want to use cooldowns.
