You'll control a Titan's "weapon". You have 5 abilities : cleave, electric discharge, heal, evocation and "divine shield".

I suggest you start from the bottom of Avalanche and climb it killing the mobs on your way, so you get used to your abilities by the time you arrive to the last guy.

Killing the 200 undead should be easy, you can pack them and spam cleave, or if you have enough mana and won't have health problem you can use the electric discharge.

For the 3 named ones it would be useful to clean a maximum the area around and only concentrate on them. Be sure to heal yourself and use evocation before every boss and DONT use evocate during a boss, you get hit 5 times harder during the evocation.

-Bythius the Flesh-Shaper is wandering in the bottom right part of Avalanche, he has 2 elite dog helping him but it's the easiest one to kill.
-Urgreth of the Thousand Tombs is in the middle left, not really hard too. More health than the other one but he is alone (not counting little undead around him). He does an AE attack, just step back a few seconds (maybe a few evocation ticks can help if you are not attacked by small undeads)
-Hailscorn is standing just above Urgreth. The hardest to kill. He sometimes raise skeletons to help him, more often than you can do you electric discharge thing. Moreover, since he has a lot of health and hits quite hard, I suggest keeping your mana to heal yourself and only spam cleave until it's over.

The "divine shield"-like removes you from combat and resets any fight in progress, the mobs will stop attacking you. It's more like a self divine intervention actualy

I know there is like 150 comments already on this page, but i want to give some advice since i think its valid and i didnt see it anywhere else. There is an obvious design too this quest that can be hard to notice without dying a couple times. Think about it, The frostwyrm hail is right by a wall which is used to park up against so you dont get knocked by wing buffet. Flesh reaper is on a path that has very little enemys making his dog things easy to handle and him easy as well The most obvious is urgeth, he is standing right by a cliff that lines down into several other cliffs, this des

  • For Bythius, I just spammed Colossal Strike (Cleave)

  • Against Urgreth, I spammed the cleave and walked out of the AoE attack. Worth saving the Reconstruction (heal) if you get a tick on you.

  • Against Haliscorn, I just held on to Cataclysm (the AoE) and hit it every time the swarm of undead appeared and mashed Colossal Strike otherwise. He didn't cast the swarm about as often as I had Cataclysm up to kill it.


Bunching up the undead for Cataclysms makes the 200 Scourge requirement easy and fun to get and the helms are a very nice reward for all the fun you have with Etymidian.

StorylineSholazar Basin, step 65 of 65

Description

It is time, {name}. The Etymidian is one of the most destructive forces ever created by the titans and I am loathe to unleash him in my lands. There is little choice, however. Our enemies have forced my hand and the fury of the titans will cleanse all.
