Outside Amnoon After meeting up with Taimi and Rytlock, head back towards Amnoon. As you cross the bridge leading to the refugee camp, you'll find a group of civilians who have been trapped inside a Branding Crystal. Rytlock will instruct you to save them, but the people inside this one are a lost cause. Push deeper into the camp and destroy the three crystals with red timer circles above them. When they're destroyed — whether you killed them or the timers ran out — it will be time to move on. Head west, pausing briefly to deal with the Brandstone Elementals that spawn to attack, towards Amnoon Water Authority, where there will be five more Branding Crystals to destroy. When these are down, head north to the gate into Amnoon, and fight another cluster of Brandstone Elementals. The gate will open and you will be greeted by Canach, who joins your party. Inside Amnoon There will be three Death-Branded Lieutenants to defeat when you enter, each of them protected by an Empowering Crystal which must be destroyed first. All three lieutenants are at ground level; one crystal is next to its lieutenant, while the other two are atop walls to the east and west. When these are down, head north to fight Death-Branded Deputy Qais. Destroy his crystal and take him down. There are two more crystals and lieutenants atop the east and north border walls; when these are dead, the Branded Wyvern will spawn. Branded Wyvern fight The wyvern has an extreme amount of health, and even players with high damage must be ready for a long fight. Most of the wyvern's attacks are telegraphed, stunning and dealing high damage in a large area of effect. The wyvern also has delayed point-blank attacks that deal just as much damage but are not telegraphed. Move quickly or dodge at the right time to avoid getting hit. The wyvern doesn't inflict very many conditions, but stun breaks, ranged weapons, and vigor can make surviving the fight easier. Being defeated does not reset the boss's health and the player will respawn close by. At 75%, the wyvern will shield itself and begin rapidly healing itself with three Recharging Crystals each guarded by a Branded Priest, a Branded Cavalier, and a Branded Priestess — though these mobs don't need to be defeated, just the crystals, which are much easier to destroy than the Empowering Crystals earlier in the mission. During this phase, lightning still periodically strikes the area, and the wyvern periodically breathes lingering spiral circles of Brand. It doesn't matter how quickly the crystals are destroyed as Aurene will breathe a line of divine fire, undoing its healing and stunning it for a short period of time. At 50%, the wyvern's shielded phase repeats. At 25%, Aurene will breathe another path of fire, permanently stunning the Branded Wyvern. At this point, it takes massively increased damage.
