– Casts Throw (Single Target, 3000 DD + Knockback, -1000 Magic Based)

Step 2

Now also need to kill 5x Transcendent Acolytes. Each one drops Rock Essence. Have one person loot them all. Right now you’ll only have access to #1 and #2 Transcendent Acolytes (see map).

Transcendent Acolyte

– 200K HP
– Hits 2200+ (35 Heroic Stamina)
– Cannot be slowed
– “infurites” – Brief AE rampage and attacks faster

 

 

Step 3

Guardian of Transcendence shows up again at the end of the main hallway. He will be at 90% HP. DPS him down to 75% to unlock the door behind him.

– Hits 2200+ (35 Heroic Stamina)
– Casts Throw (Single Target, 3000 DD + Knockback, -1000 Magic Based)
– Cannot be slowed

Step 4

In the next room is the remaining 3x Transcendent Acolytes (#3-5 on map) and Guardian of Transcendence once again. Kill them in whatever order you want.

The Guardian of Transcendence will be at 75% HP. Get him to 50% HP. He will despawn and the door behind him unlocks.

Kill the 3x Transcendent Acolytes. The person who looted the first two should loot the Rock Essence off these as well. One of them will be a 4-slot container.

Guardian of Transcendence

– Hits 2200+ (35 Heroic Stamina)
– Casts Throw (Single Target, 3000 DD + Knockback, -1000 Magic Based)
– Cannot be slowed
– Flurries

Transcendent Acolyte

– 200K HP
– Hits 2200+ (35 Heroic Stamina)
– Cannot be slowed
– “infurites” – Brief AE rampage and attacks faster

Step 5

Combine the 4x Rock Essence into the Rock Essence (4-slot container) to create Solid Glyphed Essence.

Use the Solid Glyphed Essence to unlock the door to final boss room. Place it on your cursor and type “U” on your keyboard.

 

Step 6

1) Inside the final boss room you’ll see Guardian of Transcendence again. He is perma-rooted and at 50%. He will start summoning once aggroed. Here you can finally kill him completely.

2) Once Guardian of Transcendence dies 4x Vrex Xalkak`s Sentinel will spawn. Only a specific class can get the kill shot or it will respawn. You’ll see some subtle emotes in chat telling you which class. For me I only received Bard and Rogue emotes since I was just playing these classes at the time. The emotes are class roleplay specific and fairly easy to identify.

They also cast a nasty Mana Drain.

Partial emote text:
Foreboding melody: Bard
Deep gashes of feral savagery: Beastlord
Shies from heavy blades: Berserker
Dread of celestial spirit: Cleric
The creature seems weak in the face of the power of nature: Druid
Mind and body vulnerable: Enchanter
Summoned elements: Magician
Focused tranquility: Monk
Doom of death: Necromancer
Holy blade: Paladin
True shots and fast blades: Ranger
Ignores anything behind it: Rogue
Cringe at the appearance of talismans: Shaman
Dreads the strike of dead: Shadowknight
Brute force and brawn: Warrior
Falters when struck with the power of the elements: Wizard

Vrex Xalkak`s Sentinel’s

– Estimated 50K – 100K HP
– Hits 1600+ (35 Heroic Stamina)
– Immune to Slow
– Rampage
– Casts Throw (Single Target, 3000 DD + Knockback, -1000 Magic Based)
– Casts Grip of Stone (PBAE, -500 HP/Mana Tick, -300 Chromatic)

3) Once 4x Vrex Xalkak`s Sentinel  die Vrex Xalkak`s Marauder spawns. This guy is similar that certain classes must kill him but he is more forgiving in that only a class arch-type has to get the killing blow, not a specific class.

The creature will perish under the strength of intelligent magic: Casters
Combined strength and ingenuity: Hybrid
Strength and cunning: Melee
Cannot stand the power of healers: Priest

 

Vrex Xalkak`s Marauder

– Estimated 300K HP
– Hits 2400+ (35 Heroic Stamina)
– Immune to Slow
– Rampage
– Casts Cataclysm of Stone (PBAE, 3000 DD, -350 Chromatic Based)

4) Vrex Xalkak Nixki will also spawn and become attackable once Vrex Xalkak`s Marauder dies. He also has a nasty PBAE Mana Drain. His HP % seems to fluctuate. I am not sure of the exact mechanic of what (if anything) causes this. I was able to engage him at 5% HP and kill him off quickly. Once he dies you have beaten the raid!

NOTE: Make sure to loot Artifact of Transcendence from a pile of bones. This is used in Kod’Taz Progression.

Vrex Xalkak Nixki

– Estimated 3 million HP
– Hits 2400+ (35 Heroic Stamina)
– Immune to Slow
– Casts Rain of Stone (Targeted AE, 1500 DD, -300 Chromatic Based)
– Casts Grip of Stone (PBAE, -500 HP/Mana Tick, -300 Chromatic Based)
– Casts Throw (Single Target, 3000 DD + Knockback, -1000 Magic Based)

Step 7

If working on Kod’Taz Progression go back to Tublik Narwethar in Kod’Taz. Give him Artifact of Transcendence. He will hand it back and emote:
