| Tumultuous Earthstorm | When Earthrager Ptah's remaining health reaches 50%, he generates a massive earthquake and disperses. Dustbone Horrors and Jeweled Scarabs rise from the sands, and pools of quicksand form. The Earthstorm will end when all the Dustbone Horrors and Jeweled Scarabs die. Ptah will then erupt from the sand once again to continue fighting the players. In Heroic Difficulty a sand vortex forms and moves across the desert sand. | |
| Smash | ||
| Quicksand | ||
| Sand Vortex | A large tornado forms during the Tumultuous Earthstorm, and then slowly wanders around the sand. The sand vortex then ejects the player out. While the sand vortex traps players, they may not attack or cast spells. |
