Aloha! We bring you the guide of the Challenge of the Tower of Mages for Sacred Priest made by Mary Rockatansky with the recommended talents, equipment and tactics in the different phases of combat.
Wizard Tower Challenge Guide - Holy Priest
The challenge of the Tower of Magi, in the case of End the risen threat, It is based on skill, knowledge of mechanics, a bit of luck with the legendary ones and not so much in a higher item level than recommended, because as we will see, in the last phase of the challenge carrying a very high item level can be an obstacle more than a help.
Recommended talents
Recommended Legendary
- Velen's future vision
- Unbreakable Will of Muze
- X'anshi, shroud of Archbishop Benedictus (having a self-resurrection can be very helpful if things get a bit ugly)
- Prydaz, Xavaric's masterpiece (useful especially for the first phase)
I insist that they are recommended, simply to make our challenge more bearable, but not at all necessary to complete it.
Recommended Consumables
The challenge is divided into several phases.
Our group will consist of a Warrior, who will perform the role of tank (Commander Jarod Shadowsong), a role dps melee, rogue (Callie carrington) and a rank dps role, hunter (Granny Marl).
Combat phases
In addition to the mechanics of each phase, we will always maintain Prayer of relief a cd about our group:
Phase 1
In this phase we will find several waves of hostile npcs, which are of 3 types:
- ARBALESTA RESURRECTED CORRUPT: Its mana sting ability if it reaches the player, drains all their mana, which is quite likely to cause the death of some npc of the group due to lack of healing and therefore the end of the challenge. Every so often he will do this skill, marked with a big blue arrow on the ground.
- CORRUPT RESURRECTED MAGICIAN: His Arcane Lightning Attack ability accumulates power over time and does more and more damage to the entire group.
- CORRUPT RESURRECTED SOLDIER: The ability of this npc knife dance deals damage to the whole group. Every so often it fixes, normally the player and makes a melee attack against him.
First wave
ARBALESTA RESURRECTED CORRUPT: Through our ability to chain undead we will cut his mana sting, if for whatever reason we do not have time to do so we can place ourselves behind our tank so that it is he who receives the attack, yes, always being attentive to his life because he will receive enough damage.
Second wave
CORRUPT RESURRECTED MAGICIAN+ARBALESTA RESURRECTED CORRUPT: Our priority will be the mage, since he does a lot of damage to random targets in the group, in addition to the aforementioned accumulating arcane damage. We will always try to avoid that it passes 3 stacks, for this we must keep our sacred Word: Condemnation to stun him and make his accumulations drop to zero.
With the ARBALESTA RESURRECTED CORRUPT We continue with the same strategy as in the first wave.
Third wave
CORRUPT RESURRECTED MAGICIAN+CORRUPT RESURRECTED SOLDIER: The priority will again be the CORRUPT RESURRECTED MAGICIAN, in case our Holy Word: Condemnation we can use Dispel magic to lower your accumulations at that time.
With the CORRUPT RESURRECTED SOLDIER we will use chain undead when he is about to perform knife dance to avoid damage to the group, and thus also focus on the target in the CORRUPT RESURRECTED MAGICIAN in case you haven't been defeated yet.
When the soldier makes us fix we throw a Renovate, that with our talent Perseverance we will receive 10% less damage, and we will try to escape and heal ourselves.
Fourth wave
CORRUPT RESURRECTED MAGICIAN+ 2 CORRUPT RESURRECTED SOLDIER: The priority once again will be the magician, we will follow the strategy of saving our sacred Word: Condemnation to interrupt his accumulations.
In this phase we will find two CORRUPT RESURRECTED SOLDIER, which can get a bit dangerous for the group so in addition to continuing to chain and trying to avoid its damage to melee, as in the third wave, we can consider using Apotheosis to have an extra healing on skills that we have not been able to avoid launch.
Fifth wave
CORRUPT RESURRECTED MAGICIAN+CORRUPT RESURRECTED SOLDIER+ARBALESTA RESURRECTED CORRUPT: As always and in order not to change customs, the priority is the magician. In this phase we can roll Drums of Fury
In addition to cutting the accumulations of the CORRUPT RESURRECTED MAGICIAN we will always also have an eye on the ARBALESTA RESURRECTED CORRUPT, using chaining undead on it to prevent it from draining our mana, or hiding behind our tank Commander Jarod Shadowsong As up to now, the same for the soldier, what changes in this phase is that we will have to be more attentive to hostile npcs to react to their attacks and also to the lives of our group.
Once this wave is over, congratulations, the first phase is finished. Now we can recover mana and even wait for it to refresh some skill on cooldown.
Phase 2
We will have to follow our group into the Torreón.
Phase 3
The player will be left alone in this phase, which consists of several parts. Compared to the first phase, it is very simple, but as always, if we are not attentive, a failure can cost us the challenge. We will have 5 minutes to complete this phase. We will keep Prayer of relief about us and Renovate to cushion some of the damage received.
- First we appear in a room with several blinking Eyes: these eyes when killed explode and do damage, so we must kill them one by one, keeping our lives full between one and the other. The longer we take, the more damage they do, so it's important not to take it too easy.
- The next room consists of a Fel Guard accompanied by 3 bats and two unstable Fel Orbs. These orbs die with a simple blow, but be careful, they regenerate again and one of them wanders around that room, we must avoid being touched by one of these orbs because it will stun us for a few seconds and it could put us in serious trouble, so we must kill the Vile Guard and his bats, always ensuring that the orbs do not regenerate, or if they do, that they do not come in our direction.
- Once the demon and the bats have been defeated, we will open a door that takes us to some stairs where we will find 4 friendly npcs, and above all an arbalest like the ones in the first phase, which we will ignore at first. We'll deal with the npcs first:
- One of these npcs runs up and down the stairs scared, be very careful, if it gets too close it will put Fear in the player for a few seconds, so it will be our priority and we will use Purify on it, after this we must be quick and heal the others three friendly npcs since their life drops quickly and if it reaches zero they will become elite resurrected soldiers, one can escape us, but two would take a long time to defeat them and we would possibly not pass the phase on time, remember that we have 5 minutes to complete it.
- For this we will use Holy word: serenity, in the first npc, filling your life. In the other two we will use Sacred word: sanctify and we will fill with lightning healing.
- Now we can attack the arbalest that is upstairs, avoiding her mana sting by hiding behind one of the previously healed npcs, or as we did until now, using chain undead. Keep in mind that these npcs once cured do not have to be done again, so do not be afraid to use them as a shield here.
- We will now reach another part of the stairs, this time filled with unstable fel orbs. We will use Nova Sagrada to inactivate them and we will pass between them, being careful not to touch them even when they are inactive, since they slow down.
- Finally we will reach a door that we must open and there we will find a Vile Corruptor and three blinking Eyes, these will be priority, as in the first part of this phase, killing them one by one, healing ourselves when necessary and dodging the laser eyes that go. taking out the corrupter. Once we have gotten rid of the blinking eyes, we will end the corruptor and with him this phase.
Phase 4
We meet again with our group, in this phase we can recover mana and wait for them to refresh skills on cooldown.
Phase 5
In this phase we will meet the main boss of the challenge, Lord Erdris Thorn.
Our group will go crazy and they will fight against each other, at the same time Lord Erdris will walk towards the center of the room and will try to absorb 3 npcs in several waves to which we must raise the life before they reach him, at the same time that we maintain our group alive as they fight each other.
The priority of cures these npcs that approach the boss, is from left to right as we enter the room. The reason? The npcs that it absorbs in this phase we will have to face them in the next one, that is why we must try to get as few as possible, and if so, make them the least "complicated". The npc on the left is an arbalest, the one in the middle is a magician and the one on the right is a soldier, as we met them in the first phase. The arbalest with its ability to drain all the mana, and the magician with its accumulating damage, for my taste are more dangerous, since after facing them we will not have time to recover mana and / or cooldowns.
We must always keep our group alive as they fight each other, keeping Prayer of relief and through lightning healing. We will NOT use with them Holy word: serenity ni Sacred word: sanctify to be able to use them in the npcs that Lord Eldris attracts to himself:
First wave
- Potion of Prolonged Power+apotheosis
- Holy word: serenity in the left npc, we spam lightning healing in the middle and right npc.
Second wave
divine hymn We will be attentive to the lives of the npcs and if we see that they do not arrive with life to the fullest we fill with Sacred word: sanctify
Third wave
Holy word: serenity in npc on the left, lightning healing In the other two, the ideal here is to use extra healing power from beads, etc. to try to lift all three, like this in the:
Fourth wave
We will only have to raise the life of one and we will move on to the next phase.
Phase 6
Here we will face those who Lord Erdris Thorn absorbed, already with our group recovered again, and the difficulty will depend on how the previous phase has gone.
In case of having absorbed 3 npcs, the phase will be simple, varying in what type of npc it is, more than 4 is practically a guaranteed wipe.
The strategy with these npcs will be the same as in the first phase, always watching the mana since once defeated there will be no time to recover mana.
Last phase
And we finally reached the end of the challenge.
Here we will face Lord Eldris Thorn himself.
Although it does not directly cause much damage to our group, we must watch our lives above all.
The boss will jump on the player, leaving a green puddle on the floor, which we must leave in an orderly fashion, taking advantage of the space in the room. This ability can be interrupted, but we will NOT interrupt it before it leaves the first puddle.
It will also put Soul Ignition on the player, a bomb that when it explodes will take away from our group the amount of life that you have at that moment. That is why we must not prevent him from putting the first puddle, because we will use it to lower our lives before the bomb explodes.
We use Drums of fury
The reason why at the beginning of this guide I said that the very high item level can be a problem more than a help, is that we will have to lower our life more, since obviously we will have much more than our group, but the ability of the Boss jumping on the player and leaving the puddle lowers life by a fixed percentage, so if we get too low we run the risk that this ability kills us.
So placing the areas well, being careful to lower your life before Soul Ignition explodes, raising it right after exploding so as not to die when the boss jumps on you and leaves the puddle, the challenge is already done.
If you die before your time, be careful, do not release spirit, if the boss has been at a low percentage of life it is possible that your group will defeat the boss and in that case the mission will count the same. Also, being a sacred priest we have a few extra seconds in the form of an angel to heal without worrying about the mechanics of this boss.
And so far this challenge, if you have achieved it, Congratulations! It is a long and complicated challenge and, as in everything, everyone has their best technique to achieve this challenge and it is not based on a jack-horse-king, but at least I hope to be of help with this guide ^^
