Boss MechanicsEdit

Packmaster RethelrosEdit

Packmaster Rethelros (an archer) fights alongside his wolf companion, Malthil. You need to keep them separated from each other, or else they'll empower each other's strikes. The tank should pull the wolf away (and pay attention to archer's occasional teleports). Choosing the primary target is up to the group. Rethelros will try to equalize his and the wolf's health sometimes.

The Packmaster occasionally summons a Protective Totem, which tethers itself to both bosses with a blue beam. They'll take less damage while this totem is up: destroy it to maximize your group's damage output. Having the tank drag the wolf to the totem may be a worthy endeavor if the archer isn't too close to it.

The wolf occasionally enrages and starts slowly chasing one of players. He needs to be kited around for the duration of it, as he deals massive damage with his bite in that state (take care, he also has surprisingly long reach with it).

LayoutEdit

Lodge of the FistEdit

Lodge of the Fist

Elks, foxes, squirrels, and rabbits wander the tundra at the entrance. Torchbugs and butterflies flit around the snowy fields, while owls observe the carnage from stone posts.

You can accept the quest from Bazrag at the entrance. A large statue to Malacath sits on a plot of rock suspended between the mountains by chains north of where you enter. A note entitled Lessons of the Pit can be found by the stone fence overlooking the gorge. There's an empty cave on the northeast side of the entrance.

Two wolves, a bear, a Recollection Venombow, and a Recollection Battlesworn make up the first pull. Follow the cobblestone trail to progress through this portion of the dungeon. The second pull is identical to the first: fell the enemies to open the gate at the end of the path, unleashing a bear and two more venombows. Behind the gate lies a great bear accompanied by a Recollection Blademaster, two battlesworn, and two arbalests. There's a longhouse on the west side of this arena: head around the north side of the building to find a note.

Ascend the hill and enter the arena of Malacath's Crown.

Blood PitEdit

A secret area behind the lodge which you fight the great bear in front of: The Trial of Blood takes place here.

Malacath's CrownEdit

Malacath's Crown

Interior

You'll fight Packmaster Rethelros and his wolf companion Malthil here. During the quest, they're accosting Black-Glove Garm. There's a statue of Malacath with a rubedite sword and spikes protruding from his chest to your right as you enter, and an Undaunted Challenge Banner on your left.
