Abilities & Strategy

What the in-game dungeon journal describes for this encounter. Every ability links to its spell page.

Abilities & Strategy

Energy Vortex

An active Energy Vortex transforms any player or creature who stands in it, granting a small taste of the Titan's true power. In Heroic Difficulty, the Energy Vortex prevents targeting into or out of the Energy Vortex.

Touch of the Titans

Contact with the Energy Vortex transforms the target into celestial form, increasing all damage done by 50% and healing received by 50%.

Overcharged

The Energy Vortex periodically inflicts players with Overcharge, causing them to take 5% additional damage. This effect stacks.

Stage One: Entering Defensive Mode

Elegon activates the Energy Vortex, attacking with Celestial Breath and calling for Celestial Protectors to help defend the Engine of Nalak'sha. Stage One ends at 85% and 50% remaining health.

Celestial Breath

Elegon's breath inflicts Arcane damage every 0.5 seconds for 1.5 sec to players within a 100 yard long 60 degree cone.

Materialize Protector

When Elegon has more than 50% remaining health, he summons a Celestial Protector to attack the players.

Celestial Protector

A construct of pure energy, the Celestial Protector serves as primary defense for the Engine of Nalak'sha.

Grasping Energy Tendrils

With no targets in melee range, Elegon grabs and pulls all enemies to him, inflicting Arcane damage.

Radiating Energies

When Elegon reaches 50% remaining health, he becomes dangerously unstable. Elegon periodically inflicts Arcane damage to all players who are within the Energy Vortex, and Arcane damage to all players who are outside it.

Stage Two: Primary Power Offline

Elegon attempts to reactivate the Engine of Nalak'sha by creating Energy Charges to energize the Empyreal Focuses. If players destroy all Energy Charges in a wave, Elegon will continue to create more Energy Charges. The creation process permanently weakens his physical form. Stage Two ends once an Energy Charge leaves the Energy Vortex.

Draw Power

Elegon attempts to restart the Engine of Nalak'sha by constructing six Energy Charges from his own body, permanently increasing all damage taken by 10%. This effect stacks.

Energy Charge

A small part of Elegon himself, the Energy Charge contains enough Arcane energy to restart The Engine of Nalak'sha.

Stage Three: Power Draw Stable

Elegon has reactivated The Engine of Nalak'sha, disabling the Energy Vortex and activating all Empyreal Focuses. Elegon shields himself from all damage. Stage Three ends once players destroy all the Empyreal Focuses.

Empyreal Focus

The Focuses activate whenever the Engine of Nalak'sha begins operation, venting energy into the surrounding platform. Damaging all six Empyreal Focuses temporarily disables the Engine of Nalak'sha.

Energy Conduit

The Empyreal Focus vents excess energy, inflicting Arcane damage to all players touching the energy conduit every 0.5 sec.

Overloaded

This effect stacks.

Linked Focuses

An Empyreal Focus will not deactivate until both it and the linked focus are brought to zero health.

Unstable Energy

Elegon periodically inflicts Arcane damage to all players.

Energy Cascade

Elegon fires a ball of Titan plasma at the location of random player, inflicting Arcane damage on impact to players within 5 yards and creating a Cosmic Spark.

Cosmic Spark

Small pure energy constructs created by Elegon.
