[edit] Walkthrough
Leave from Doomlore Shrine and go south-east through Dalada Uplands to the portal into Sacnoth Valley, then head southwards to the south-west corner, this is where the entrance to Rragar's Menagerie is found.
When you enter Rragar's Menagerie you should first talk to the Beacon of Droknar to receive the Dwarven Raider blessing and then attack the fleshreavers that appear in the first room; one of which should drop a Fleshreaver Morsel which you can feed to Blobby the ooze, this will make him an ally.
Fight your way to level 3 where you will find Rragar Maneater and Hidesplitter. The easiest way to defeat them is to bring down the health of Hidesplitter to the minimum amount you can without killing him as he has no healing skills and his health will not regenerate.
Then attack Rragar Maneater, his health does regenerate but he also has no healing skills. When he is killed, Hidesplitter will enter an aggressive stance where he stops using his The Sniper's Spear skill and appears to attack faster. You should always kill Rragar Maneater first because if Hidesplitter is killed first, Rragar Maneater will resurrect him to about 60% health using Resurrection Chant.
Because of the large amount of damage dealt by Hidesplitter, you can make the fight easier by bringing skills that can inflict Weakness on him such as Enfeeble to decrease the damage he deals with his blows. Also interrupting Rragar's The Master's Mark skill will prevent Hidesplitter from being able to use the The Sniper's Spear skill, this also makes the fight much easier.
After defeating Rragar Maneater and Hidesplitter, see Gron Fierceclaw (Merchant) in Doomlore Shrine for your reward.
- Minion masters should take extra care in this dungeon. Ominous Oozes have Verata's Aura and Fleshreaver Hounds have many skills that deal holy damage. But due to the large number of Charr in here, minion masters are still a powerful asset.
- Using Shadow Form to tank this dungeon will be difficult on parts with Fleshreaver Hounds. They use spells that damage through the enchantment if you are close to them.
[edit] Dialogue
[edit] Initial dialogue
Gron Fierceclaw (Merchant)
- "Pyre tells me we are to be allies, human. If that is so, I would warn you of a Charr named Rragar Maneater. Deep within his Menagerie, he rears a new breed of creatures he intends to utilize to destroy humans, and then plans to gain position within the ranks of the Charr Legions. Thankfully, his plan has not yet come to fruition. The time to strike is now, before he completes his army of fleshreavers. Venture into Rragar's Menagerie, and put an end to his operation and his life. Be sure to destroy his creations as well... even without Rragar's influence, they're savage and dangerous beasts."
Accept: "Rragar will eat my justice."
Decline: "His name scares me."
Ask: "Human, why do you wait? Kill Rragar and his creatures before it is too late."
[edit] Intermediate dialogue
[edit] Dungeon Level 1
While approaching the pool in the first room (if Pyre Fierceshot is in the party)
- Pyre Fierceshot: "Looks like Rragar's been dabbling in ooze breeding as well. He obviously failed with this one."
Upon encountering Rragar
- <Party leader>: "We've found you and your vile creations. Surrender, Rragar, and we might let you keep your limbs."
- Rragar Maneater: "Humans? Here? Blast! It's not yet time."
After defeating Rragar
- Rragar Maneater: "Time for a"'tactical retreat.""
[edit] Dungeon Level 2
After reaching the large pool of water
- Pyre Fierceshot (if present): "So, he's using fleshreavers to do his dirty work. Tread lightly...these unnatural horrors won't go down easily."
- <Party leader>: "The water is strange..almost thick. It's as if Rragar were cross-breeding oozes also."
When approaching Beastmaster Korg's room (if Pyre Fierceshot is in the party)
- Pyre Firceshot: "Careful, human. I smell an ambush."
When approaching Beastmaster Korg
- Beastmaster Korg: "You seem in a hurry to be devoured by our creations. My fleshreavers shall accomodate you."
When approaching Rragar Maneater
- Rragar Maneater: "Ah, the meat is back. Good timing, I was just looking for a test subject."
After defeating Rragar Maneater
- Rragar Maneater: "As they say, "Discretion is the better part of...staying alive.""
- Pyre Fierceshot (if present): "Come back here, coward!"
[edit] Dungeon Level 3
At the first intersection
- <Party leader>: "Looks like Rragar taught the fleshreavers to fight alongside the Charr. We need to stop him quickly, or this is going to become a large problem."
When approaching Rragar
- Rragar Maneater: "Allow me to introduce to you my most prized specimen. You should feel honored to have your bones picked clean by such a magnificent creation! Hidesplitter, show them no mercy!"
[edit] Reward dialogue
Gron Fierceclaw
- "Killing Rragar gave you great pleasure, I am sure. With those unnatural creations rotting on the dungeon floor your people will rest easy...for now."
[edit] Notes
- On the first level, Charr and Fleshreavers are hostile to each other, however they are allied with each other on the second and third levels.
- The key to an easy victory is by bringing down the health of one boss to a minimum and then attack the other boss. If Rragar Maneater is killed first, then Hidesplitter will enter an aggressive stance and deals more damage. If Hidesplitter gets killed, Rragar Maneater will try to resurrect his companion to about 60% health using Resurrection Chant.
- On the first level, near the door to Level 2, beware of the Ooze group that drops on top of you. Try to pull the Charr away from that spot to avoid being double-teamed.
- On the first level, in the far southwest corner there is hidden treasure. There are also 2 other hidden treasures in the same chamber to the north. On the first level, to the southeast of the northern Dwarven Powder Keg Station their is a secret switch which opens a secret tunnel. There is a hidden treasure and a Dwarven Ghost down that secret tunnel. There are 2 hidden treasures by the exit from the first level.
- On the second level there is a Dwarven Ghost next to the Beacon near the Boss Key and there is a hidden treasure next to the Boss Key. There is a hidden chest to the northeast of the boss door.
- On the third level, south of the entrance there is a secret switch for a secret chamber. In the secret chamber there are 2 hidden treasures and one Dwarven Ghost. In a cove near where the boss key is obtained there is a hidden treasure.
