1. Put your back to a wall while you fight so your back dash/heal (4 key by default) doesn't move you
2. Mash every ability when it's off cooldown

You'll be full HP constantly and kill the elite in about 30 seconds! (I noticed a bug that against a couple walls in the area it can cause 4 to not heal you. If that happens just move a little bit away from the wall and it should start working again, it's happened to me twice)

Step 2 of 2. Chain order is read from the prerequisite data in the current retail client build, so it reflects what the game requires, not a curated storyline. A step the build does not name is kept in place, unnamed, so the sequence stays complete.

Where to go
