Stop Balthazar's campaign to destroy Kralkatorrik. Travel to the Kodash Bazaar and await Balthazar's arrival. Check in with your team. Rytlock wishes to speak to you directly. Check in with the Awakened generals. (Engage and destroy the forged.) Engage and cull the Forged army. Veteran Forged Assembler Enter the Bazaar, and ascertain where the Warbeast has gone. Veteran Forged Assembler Pursue the Warbeast. (Clear out the Forged and Branded that block your path.) Veteran Forged Assembler Pursue the Warbeast. (Destroy Veteran Forged Assemblers to gain access to the Warbeast.) Destroy the Forged Assemblers keeping the barrier active. killed: x/3 Destroy the Warbeast using Sohothin's power. Confront Balthazar.
Note you will have your weapon skills replaced and be forced engage in combat at melee range. Your base HP stays the same, so low hp classes will need to take extra care. Travel to Vehtendi Arena to start the instance, and talk to your team. Rytlock gives you his sword Sohothin, which comes with its own skills. The skills (2) and (3) reduce the cooldown of the powerful skills (4) and (5). Join up with your undead forces to await Balthazar's assault. As the Forged appear, use Sohothin to help put them down. Eventually, Balthazar's Warbeast breaks open the gate. Follow it, taking down the Forged Assembler boss in your way by destroying his three shield generators and then himself. Follow the indicated path on a Skimmer until you arrive at another battlefield. Again, destroy the Forged Assembler after taking out his shield generators. Mount up and follow the Warbeast on the indicated path, jumping the canyon on your Raptor. Continue taking out Forged Assemblers, while otherwise leaving the Branded and Forged to fight each other. Use your Springer as required to progress. You can also use a Skyscale and fly directly to the next battlefield. Eventually you catch up with the Warbeast at the top of the pyramid. Destroy it, prioritizing the regularly summoned Forged and shield generators. It is much easier to avoid the copious AoE attacks during this fight — first only from the Warbeast, later from Kralkatorrik as well — with the use of a ranged weapon instead of Sohothin. (You can switch to your own weapons by dropping the bundle using the Switch Weapons button/keybind. It then turns into the special action skill Unsheathe Sohothin.) In addition to the Warbeast's telegraphed attacks, watch out for the following: From time to time it spins around, and smashes the ground in front with its tail. To avoid this, use a long range weapon (eg. longbow) and attack from around one of the front corners (rather than from the center), or dodge roll when the Warbeast starts to spins. In later phases it sometimes tiptoes to one side of the combat area, and shoots a laser on the other side. Immediately follow the Warbeast to the side that it moved to, as the laser turns the entire other half of the area into dark flames that instantly down you. Avoid moving under the Warbeast's trunk. If you do, it drops down on you, immediately downing you. If you're still under it a few seconds later, it drops on you again, killing you. Note, however, that the respawn if you die is at the entrance to the room. The mission ends when you finish off the Warbeast, but you are then immediately thrust into your final confrontation with Balthazar.
