Crimson Hammersmith

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.

Crimson Hammersmith

Elite Humanoid

Crimson Hammersmith is a plans-triggered detour whose Bone Smelt makes a simultaneous Crimson trash pull dangerous for the armor-reduced victim.

Abilities

  • Bone Smelt

    Bone Smelt deals Fire damage and reduces armor. Keep the affected player away from extra Crimson attackers and cover the increased physical damage afterward.

Tank
Clear the alcove around the Blacksmithing Plans before activating the Hammersmith. Keep the summoned opponent isolated so Bone Smelt's armor loss does not amplify another Crimson pack's attacks.
Healer
Heal Bone Smelt's Fire hit, then continue watching its armor-reduced victim during melee attacks. Restore that player's health before the group starts another Bastion pull.
Damage
Finish the Hammersmith in the cleared alcove instead of combining the detour with nearby Crimson enemies. Do not activate more plans or start another pull while Bone Smelt leaves the current victim exposed.
