Keepers of the Glade

This guide is from Scar, enjoy! Be sure to read the others he's posted.

Emp Key Quest
Commander Zazuzh - Idol
Commander Zherozsh - Ring
Taskmasters (any) - Pouch
General/Advisor/Arbiter - Insiga

Combine all in the pouch and you will get Ring of The Shissar

Ssra Bane Wep
Every one who uses melee will need one of these. First you will need any "Shissar" weapon from the Elites. Elites are also PHs for Comms (Used in the key quest). Once you have a weapon you need to go to the mines and kill skeletons for "Green Metal." This stuff is ultra rare. My best advice is to AE group this. Also note some items drop from the named and Vex Thal shards also drop in this area. Once you have both items combine them in the forge found in the basement. You will receive "Corrupet Shissar <Weapon>." Not only are these weps mandatory for melee damage to Emp, but the bane damage can be used on regular Shissar. Comms and Elites have a rare chance at dropping silk horse briddles.

Bosses
Basement
There are 3 bosses in the Basement. You need to kill all Taskmasters to spawn "A Glyphed Covered Serpent(1)." When he dies, "Vyzh'dra the Exiled(2)" will spawn. When he dies, "Vyzh'dra the Cursed(3)" will spawn. Cursed is argueably the hardest mob in Ssra but is a trival encounter.

This one is a random proc with a tiny AE radius. Cripple will help. Also if everyone attacks from behind at max range they will miss this AE totatlly when it procs on MT. MT needs to set up a hotkey to spam designated RGC caster.

XTC is permarooted and healers can hide on either side of the steps to avoid the small dot but its no biggy. Also need to assign 3 or 4 groups to handle the 4 repops, all unmezzable and uncharmable they're on a 10 min timer and can be the hardest part if they get in amongst the casters.

Tash and Slow before engage, do malo/cripple after engage or he just dispells them almost straight away if not engaged in battle

There are 3 traps in the hallway between tube and jail. One directly outside the jail and one to either side. Between jail and Xtc there is only one trap.

Creator has a trap in the U shaped hallway between the jail and the first golem room, right smack in the middle of the hall.

Traps can be disarmed by a rogue or bard, but its a constant effort, they refresh almost instantly.

Kill Rhag 1 and 2 to trigger AL spawn

He rampages every round and its recomended to have 4 clerics on MT and 4 on rampage tank. Probablly doable with less but overkill is good.

Have rampage Tank/s pull the 4 mobs from AL's room to get on rampage list

MT and Rampage tank need to position themselve against the wall to stop the knockback effect.

Dispells himself every 20 seconds or so

DS the MT and Ramapage Tanks if they have buff space

2 pillars in the room where casters can hide behind to avoid the mana drain. Melee just gotta suck up the 120hp a tic dot.

Lvl 64 Pally 10 sec stun spell Quellious' Word of Serenity suposedly works and helps with lowering AL's dps... might be nerfed by now /shrug

Mezz using Rapture, no resists

Skzik the Tormentor

Nilasz the Devourer,flurry
Yasiz the Devourer,flurry
Slakiz the Malignant

Have someone DA to take the 8 or so HT's and run out and engage Blood.

Loot from Blood needs to be done fast with no mucking around

Blood of Ssraeshza

Lvl 63,hits:300-550,mobile,flurrys, slowable

MT might need a clicky for this fight, not sure.

Have 5mins 50secs until Emperor becomes Targetable after Blood has died, move clerics to the right passageway next to Emp. Have him pulled and fought against the wall around the corner.

Need rampage tank, or alternatively use a Beastlord pet. Always have the same name so will be on rampage again if dies and resummoned.

Ranger with Weaponshield agroing first and taking the first rage proc helps MT keep initial agro.

-Rampage Tank needs a dedicated Cleric+patcher
-MT needs to Call the HT, Rage of Ssraeshza, then someone count to 50 for a CH to be cast in anticipation of the HT in another 10 seconds. Rinse and repeat
-Every time MT calls out the HT, RGC needs to be cast on him to remove Agro reducer.
-Have Shaman casting Malo/Insidious Decay and Cloud of Grummus as soon as possible. Necro casting Scent of Terris will help also.
-Rage of Ssraeshza -300 AC overwrites Aego/Virtue, make sure MT has potg+symbol
-Diminutive Stature proc can simply be clicked off.
-Also Keeping 15 buffs up on MT stops Diminutive Stature from landing at all. But cant use Heal over time spells and spellsheild may not stick.
-Lvl 58 Wiz spell, Spellshield cast on MT after each Rage of Ssraeshza (absorbs 700 of the 4k spell dmg)proc
-Immune to Magic based spells

Can only VT key 40 people after Emp dies, so need to have a list ready before hand to avoid corpse rot and squabbles
