Brief Event Overview

Friendly coldain citizens need protection from waves of giants.  If too many citizens die the event resets. 

Friendly NPCs are controllable to a degree by issuing commands to Zrelik the Brave.

Each stage has a giant boss with a special mechanic along with AEs and sometimes adds.

Bosses spawn at one of the random static locations throughout zone for each stage.


Strategy

Assist MA.

Assigned tracker call location of boss.  Assigned puller (a bard if we have one), to pull the boss to base camp (riverbed at campfire near start NPC).

Narandi the Restless		Assist MA.  Boss splits, need to kill real one.
		Tanks: - Offtank Narandi copies - a restless Kromrif - a restless dire wolf
		Healers: Splash/Group Heals
		MA: Adds then real boss MA Prep - In case regular MA absent - Steps identify Real boss during splits: When boss splits into FOUR (copies; emote occurs), pick one to DPS down. At 80%~ HP it can emote: Narandi the Restless melts, a pool of water appearing at its feet. Look for blueish aura at feet of the boss.  If it has BLUE aura then SWITCH to another boss. Repeat process until we get to a boss that doesn't have the AURA appear. Concept is to kill the one that does not have the blue aura. If blue aura never appears then we just kill that boss.

That's it for now!

This is a preliminary write up, which will be amended accordingly based on our experiences and feedback provided by our raiders.

Thanks Raiena.

I've added the locs to the strategy post and also included a map file.

Changed markers to red color.  The map file is level 2, so people can filter out other levels that usually have NPC names and rares.


Trigger Package Updated

Added triggers for stage three.  Minor edit to existing spawn trigger.
