Darta Krotek - Dragon Assistance
Darta Krotek says, 'She sent you in here too, huh? I can help you [leave] if you wish. Please know that the great dragons of Norrath are waiting to assist you should you need them. [Keikolin] the Enlightened, [Venesh] the Greenblood, [Harla Dar], and [Silverwing] brave the enemy fire and remain in the air nearby. I am told there is a barrier that they cannot breach at the moment. And, sadly, you should keep in mind that these massive dragons seem to mostly be immune to the power of our draconic allies. You will need to find ways that they can be helpful.'

| Benefit: Silences the grand manipulator | ||
Harla Dar
| Warning Emote: The general summons a horde of venomous beasts. | ||
| Success Emote: Harla Dar breathes, expending all of her magical power to terrify the lesser scalewrought. Afterwards the great black dragon retreats. | ||
| Benefit: Despawns Venomous Thralls | ||
Silverwing
| Warning Emote: The general activates one of the secondary control crystals, bringing the leviathan's magic and pain to bear on his enemies. | ||
| Success Emote: Silverwing breathes magic and power at a crystal, turning its energy upon itself and shattering it. The backlash drives him from the room seeking healing and a bit of rest. | ||
| Benefit: Counters - Suffering of the Leviathan | ||
Tanks:
- Face boss and gilded guardians away from raid
Healers:
- Continuous splashing throughout event
MA Kill Order: gilded guardians, grand manipulator, boss
