Talk:The Ebony Citadel of Mallyx

Sorry to say it, but this seems copied from GuildWiki (http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/The_Ebony_Citadel_of_Mallyx). Is this allowed license-wise? Drag nmn  talk cont  16:43, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I think that is because Karlos is responsible for most of the article on both wikis. Foo 17:08, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Cutscene
Is there any Cutscene recorded and uploaded for the Mallyx room? I'd like to see it. --193.190.253.144 13:48, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Blackout
On the discussion page for Mallyx I asked if using Blackout would help in defeating him. I've also asked this to other players in the game. I've always heard that it wont help against him, and that Blackout is a wasted skill in Mallyx's fight. Yet, on this page the use of Blackout to disable his skills is mentioned as a tactic for containing him. Will Blackout work, or not? - Ara

Duration?
Why 1-2 hours? Is that an estimate just to be on the safe side, or is it for HM? I'm wondering because I and another player beat him in about 40 minutes in NM. It was only my second attempt, so I'm wondering if the duration is outdated, and if it should even be there since none of the 4 prerequisite missions have durations given.

High Priest Zhellix
As he is part of the mission, does that mean I won't have to return the the Gate of Anguish to grab the reward for the quest? I.e. can I enter the mission with 14 of each gem, complete the mission, grab the reward (inc. 1 of each gem) the talk the spirit to get an armbrace? Kraal Fardale 16:01, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
 * He's outside the gate. Just walk out and he's there, and yes you can do that 77.164.165.114 16:02, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Awsome :D and thanks for the incredibly speedy reply Kraal Fardale 16:04, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Dark damage ?
Why Holy and Dark damage? Should it be Shadow instead? Holy and Shadow ignore armor, Dark does not. Ramei Arashi 13:21, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
 * It's a ridiculous statement, anyway, especially if it's supposed to be because he has 80 armor (if that's even true..can't wait to test). 80 is nothing, all of the creatures I've tested in DoA have at least 83 armor.

The spirits behind Mallyx
Anyone tried if controlling those spirits through Signet of Binding having any advantage? K61824 02:34, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Doesn't seem to work per the Notes section in Signet of Binding. Sardaukar  [[Image:User_Sardaukar_sig.png]] 02:57, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Solo with heroes
Doable if you are a paragon. Took me about half an hour. Party build: Imbagon (me), Healing Burst monk, Xinrae heal nec, ST Prot Rit, Panic and Psychic mesmers, Roj monk, Sos Rit. A gaki and a conset helped me along. Did someone try this with a different class? 84.161.106.74 21:45, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Yep, did it as a monk twice. I play Healing burst/Spirit bond (most used skills) with a Soul twisting Shelter/Displacement spammer, a N/Rt BiP resto, and 5 Mesmers : One Keystone, one Panic, one Shared Burden, one Power block, one Ineptitude. They rely on much AoE interrupt (CoF/Complicate), and "preventive fail" (Mistrust/Wandering eye).--InariKettu 08:23, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
 * All of DoA including citadel is easily done with 7 heroes if you are max lightbringer and use 1 Nec MM, 1 Nec Bomber/Curse, 1 Nec/Rit Icy veins/heal, 1 Rit SoS, 1 Rit Soul Twisting/Shelter/Union, 1 Mes Panic, 1 Mes Psychic Instab. I use my warrior--war endurance, cyclone axe, whirlwind, LB gaze, with hero splintering me--but any other class doing high damage with armor buffs works as well.  You want at least a little self buff, if you are not a warrior with sentinel's,probably "I Am Unstoppable!" so you can flag heroes and pull certain groups for control (ie Shanur, Turep, Jadoth, earths at end of gloom).  If you use consets you are pretty much invincible, except at earths in gloom and end of foundry.  For citadel you just put Gaze of Fury on your bar and one hero, or on two heroes (repressive energy and shroud of darkness are your two main you want to keep down).  I had the build posted on newer PvxWiki, but it was voted down.  You can find a close version, easily modded and swapped for mesmers and shelter union rit, on older PvxWiki under DoA Platoon.

Easy way to beat him
I know this is probably a little late, but tryptophan signet seems to completely destroy him. Useful for when you need to H/H him. 174.108.82.105 21:17, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
