TheWoWDBI had trouble with this fight because of the heavy AoE from Atticus' Hammer of Retribution, until I realized that the AoE centers around the hammer he throws into the ground, not him himself. When I realized that, I started kiting him away from the hammer, and that immediately made the fight a lot easier.

In this quest and the previous in the chain, Mikanikos speaks like a normal steward. For non kyrians, Mikanikos is an unusal steward, the rest of them cant speak properly but Mikanikos has excelent speech capabilities. In fact in some of the quests in this chain half the text is written normally and the rest in normal steward style speech. Blizzard really outdid themselves this expansion.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Perfect Circle
I've come up with the perfect design to fit your needs--a crown capable of channeling the powers of the Harvesters. I need one more tool to put it together, a mold. Circular objects difficult to get right. Go up to my old storage. A perfect mold exists there. I'm sure of it.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Crown of the Harvesters
Power you seek to focus is volatile. Need the Eternal Forge's flames to get it done. Without the blessing of the flames, I fear it will overwhelm the wearer. Bring venthyr friend. His magic will prove useful. Need you to absorb impurities.
