This is such a hard quest on my rogue, squishy and the aoe damage is so bad.
Make sure you pull the two adds first and kill them, then keep moving on the guy with the hammer. Put bleeds on him and keep moving away.
Thanks! All this time I thought it was Atticus himself that was killing me.

Sika reports the Forsworn are widespread. They not only took over production, but the rise as well! They organize their armies from the cliffs, send word back to their leaders. They've ransacked our shrine to the First Forgelite and took her hammer. My hammer! Defeat their commander, retrieve Phaestus. You must go now!
