The group I ran this with nearly wiped on our successful run. I was gunbreaker and our other tank was a warrior and I went down after a ascalon's mercy with both the healers. The warrior managed to take down thordan by herself for the last 7% of his health. Suffice to say, we were ecstatic.

For people who are interested, the phase with the second sacred cross isnt the hard enrage. The hard enrage is an ancient Quaga following this, except it has a longer cast time.

I'm not sure what for, but I decided to take a close look at this video (only took me an hour of research on this video and the wiki, ugh) to find out which knights participate in the fight, and which one does what. And so: Zephirin does Sacred Cross, tethers to Thordan to make him invulnerable, and throws the spear you must stack for in the first Knights of the Round (the move with which he killed Haurchefant)...even though he's supposed to be the greatsword wielder. Chaibert (better known as Ser Charizard) chains people together with Holy Chain and throws out the Heavensflare AOEs. No chess pieces wall though. Vellguin, Paulecrain and Ignasse are the lance team, who tether to people for Spiral Pierce, do the Skyward Leap blue markers and charge through the arena with Spiral Thrust. They perform the third Knights Of The Round. Hermenost is a thunder mage (who apparently uses an axe and uses Enthunder on it, RDM confirmed) who does the paralysing Conviction towers Adelphel and Janlenoux are the PLDs who must be tanked separately, both for some reason participate in stunning the healer in the first Knights of the Round Haumeric is the ice mage (noob) who does all the ice puddle AOEs throughout Grinnaux is the axe wielder who performs the Dimensional Collapse black/red puddles (apparently they signify big slashes) and knocks back from the centre Noudenet is the fire mage responsible for the Holy Meteors and the big meteor phase right before the ultimate Finally, Guerrique is the 2nd axe wielder responsible for the Heavy Impact orange earthquakes from the meteor phase.

Thordan does infact have a hard enrage after knights 5 (phase 9). After Sacred Cross goes out, he will do ancient quaga followed by 10 consecutive Ascalon's Might, and ends the fight with an Ancient Quaga with a longer cast time. Also as an alternative, we have the entire party stacked on the center for Knights 4 (phase 8) to bait heavensflare and to stack for mitigation heals/divine vile. This is on the assumption that the chains are functionally the same as The Vault's (breaks on distance traveled, not distance apart) and works fairly well for us. Prioritize on breaking the chains, move to the edge for storm (where the gaps inbetween mercy is also the widest) and dodge ascalaon's might. If more room is needed, players not marked by storm can bolt for the center (where the heavensflare AoE has already disappeared). It also avoids criss-crossing the comets and putting heavensflare in front of someone if everyone is at the same starting point.

I did this one yesterday right after the MSQ. We wiped... double digits, I died 2.5 times on average, healers res-ed me almost as often. Eventually got him down. Wondering why in the MSQ our party one-shotted him and I didn't even come close to dying, but here our group was struggling terribly, I look up this guide and find out it's the extreme version.... Thanks for the guide.

Id recommend using tank LB 3 for Phase 8. It makes that phase really simple & keeps everyone's HP full for the Quaga right after. Pop LB 3 right when the tethers come out & the only thing you need to worry about is. 1. face away from boss 2. break tethers 3. bait Ice puddles away from boss 4. Dodge Ascalon's Mercy (this still does a knock back if it hits you. Wall still = death) Hope this helps people too =D

small tip that u use as a WAR during the the two knight faze, pop zerk and bloodbath when he stance changes to sword oath. then unchained, then infuriate, then holmang and and converlesance during holy bladedance. one it hits IB and equilibrium. the healer will only need to cast one cure to top you straight back up along with your self healing and you can maintain a high dps. works for me and the healers appreciate the help as they are dealing with holiest of holy.

Hi there! i have some information about the knight that spawn at the last phase. You can actually low his hp (using lb, not necessary the lvl3) to a certain % that will not wipe the party, but the other knights casting massive areas will make hard to survive the slash. Most of the parties that have low gear will suffer this if they reach this point, so healers have to deal with it. The problem is that after the knights goes, after some cleaves, Zordon will cast the last ancient quaga as enrage, doing a 99990 hit to all the members.
