Bloodmage Thalnos

Scarlet Monastery

Graveyard

Use the leftmost wing entrance. Clear the interrogation rooms around Vishas, then follow the passage into the cemetery. Descend into the crypt for Thalnos, clearing its occupants before starting his fire attacks in the confined room.

Bloodmage Thalnos

Elite Undead

Thalnos combines a nearby Fire Nova with targeted Flame Spike burns and Shadow Bolts in the crypt.

Abilities

  • Fire Nova

    Inflicts Fire damage to nearby enemies.

    Keep ranged attackers and the healer away from Thalnos's nearby blast; melee players should recover health before closing in again.

  • Flame Spike

    Spread around the crypt so Flame Spike's selected area does not burn the group together. Keep healing players carrying its burn.

  • Flame Shock

    Heal both Flame Shock's initial hit and its continuing burn; leaving Fire Nova's reach does not end this damage.

  • Shadow Bolt

    Hurls a bolt of dark magic at an enemy, inflicting Shadow damage.

    Keep Thalnos's target in healing range even when the healer stands back from Fire Nova; Shadow Bolt still reaches a distant target.

Tank
Clear the crypt before engaging Thalnos and keep the fight where the group has room to spread for Flame Spike. Maintain the healer's sightline when moving near the crypt stairs.
Healer
Stand back from Thalnos to reduce Fire Nova exposure. Watch Flame Spike and Flame Shock burns alongside the targeted Shadow Bolt damage; a player who has stepped back may still be taking a burn.
Damage
Spread for Flame Spike instead of stacking beside the healer. Attack from outside Fire Nova's reach when your weapon or spells allow it, and recover before returning to melee.
