Archivist Galford

Stratholme

Scarlet Bastion

Work through the Hall of Lights to Malor, then continue to Willey's cannon room and Galford's archive before the final chamber. Dathrohan's transformation begins the Balnazzar portion of that last fight, not the end of the branch. Blacksmithing Plans along the Bastion route can summon Crimson Hammersmith; treat the plans as an optional pull when encountered, not a required stop after Balnazzar.

Archivist Galford

Elite Humanoid

Galford punishes missed Pyroblast interrupts and forces the healer to deal with Burning Winds without standing in Fire Nova.

Abilities

  • Pyroblast

    Inflicts Fire damage to an enemy, then additional damage every 3 sec. for 12 seconds.

    Interrupt Pyroblast before its initial hit and lingering fire damage reach the target.

  • Burning Winds

    Stuns an enemy and inflicts 1600 Fire damage over 8 seconds.

    Remove Burning Winds with a magic dispel when possible; otherwise heal the stunned target through its fire damage.

  • Fire Nova

    Inflicts Fire damage to nearby enemies.

    Keep the ranged and healing positions away from Galford so Fire Nova does not become party-wide healing work.

Tank
Hold Galford away from the healing position and keep a Pyroblast interrupt ready. Do not reposition toward the healer when Burning Winds stuns another player.
Healer
Stay beyond Fire Nova and prioritize a Burning Winds dispel or healing the stunned victim. A Pyroblast that lands adds continuing damage after the initial hit.
Damage
Assign Pyroblast interrupts and keep a backup ready if the primary interrupter is caught by Burning Winds. Ranged attackers should not stand beside Galford for Fire Nova.
