Catacombs of Kathandrax Level 3

Level 3 Boss Room

Remnants of the Ebon Vanguard survived in the Catacombs of Kathandrax. While on a mission to recover a legendary weapon, they were ambushed by overwhelming Charr forces. Captain Langmar made it clear to his [sic] troops: recovering Kathandrax's Crusher was of utmost importance. Broken and weary, the remaining Vanguard found little solace, for they found the caves infested with fire elementals and other terrible creatures. Their numbers few, they no longer had the strength to reach the artifact. Because its immense power would surely aid the Ebon Vanguard in the ongoing battle against the Charr, we had no choice but to help them retrieve it. Kathandrax's Crusher was hidden deep beneath the raging fires of Sacnoth Valley, protected by a fiery elemental lord.

[edit] Level 1

Kill the Flame Guardian to disable the Fire Traps south of the southern furnace, then kill the Infernal Siege Wurm at the bottom of the trench for the Dungeon Key. The Infernal Siege Wurm is far enough to the east to be targetted by spells and range attacks from the top of the cliffs.

[edit] Level 2

Kill the southern Regent of Flame to make the Dungeon Key spawn.

[edit] Level 3

When fighting the Flame Djinn, to lower the damage caused from Consuming Flames equip all heroes with melee weapons, as the damage is lowered from 400 to 50 if all 8 party members are in melee range. This also reduces its' healing. Pain Inverter and knock down effects are particularly effective. After agroing the boss there are 2 flaming rocks that will go around the chamber the boss is in. Like other rock traps they will instantly kill a player.
