The all-new dungeon that you'll have to do as part of the 2.4 storyline! Lol I'd have had this video up sooner but well...Youtube processing fails and trying to find a better run. I honestly did stay up the night of patch and ran this place when it was new but this run is better, no wipes!

7:24-Wandil: Not exactly a name that strikes fear into anyone lol. This battle is really simple, I almost thought there was more of a point to the Adds but nope just kill them in this battle or they'll explode and make an awful mess of things.
The only thing to note is he puts stack of a debuff on you, once you get too many you'll be frozen for a little bit and unable to act. I thought there was some method to avoid this or something but it's just you need to avoid his attacks, he has some that are just guaranteed to hit and apply the debuff so you just need to deal with it. Edit: They have patched this boss and now you can avoid the debuff I believe by being in motion when he casts? That's what everyone says anyhow.


18:51-Yeti battle: This is a fun battle lol, oh man on patch night we had no idea how to stop his his deadly AoE but the answer is simple actually; have the tank position the adds so they'll be frozen into snowballs! Hit the snowballs into the boss with a direct damage move, note that even AoEs launch the snowballs so be careful. Even Mismia 2 does apparently.

Note that snowballs hit his frontal AoE can combine and grow bigger. Bigger snowballs means it'll not only stop his deadly AoE but do damage to him!

In this battle lol, you actually see the power of a large Snowball, I believe it did about 15% of his HP? Lol... So this fight can be way faster if your tank really tries to angle it for big snowballs.

32:46-Fenrir battle: This one was nasty on Day One lol. The trick here is to dodge all the AoEs but to take note of the lone remaining crystal/pillar, when he is casting Lunar Cry you MUST get behind that pillar or you'll be frozen/vulnerable and then he'll chomp you, most likely killing you.

Note that Thousand-Year Storm CANNOT be dodged or stopped so your healer will have to deal with it. Other than the Lunar Cry thing not too bad of a fight. But when were doing this dungeon blind it was trouble lol.

I did appreciate how our Healer had Swift Cast though, so many Healers don't in the Duty Finder. Rather solid run considering it the first time for the tank and healer. This run was...way LONGER than I expected to be though.. But the new dungeons do seem to run for about 30 minutes...I so suspect at least Qarn will be speed ran since it's the most ideal for it.

Story is:
Formed in the aftermath of the Calamity, the great ice wall has long been thought an impenetrable barrier between central and western Coerthas. In truth, however, the wall is riddled with hidden tunnels, which Iceheart and her followers have used as a base of operations. You have been tasked with exploring one such tunnel in the hopes that it will lead you to the heretics' leader─yet what dangers await are anyone's guess...
