Introduction

Availability: Standard zone repop of 30 minutes, with 2 pops available before it goes into a cooldown for about 6 hours.

The Mighty Balrog, Azathoth is a beginner level run, which can be duo'd with an experienced tank. However I would recommend at least 3 people if you are just starting out this run, and one of them being a good tank, the other a psi for cancellation and a 3rd member for extra heal.

Preparation

Just check for reags and mems, a few dispel area orbs and snares are a good idea too, just in case someone tries to jump you.

From the entrance of Irda Isle Caverns go 5 north, all east, south, 3 east, 6 north (into NPK area), 2 west, 5 north. Here you will find A high priest of Azathoth, who drops a blood covered key required to open door to The Mighty Balrog, Azathoth. The mob is pretty generic and is easily soloed, just blind it. Also keeping it webbed is a good idea as it flees when its low and someone else can gank the key when it flees. Once you have the key go 5 south, 2 east, 1 north (CPK room no magic can be snared so be careful), search, unlock north, go north then lock the south door. Finally go 2 down and prep for combat spell up, mix etc, and 2 north (CPK hallway) will put you one room south of The Mighty Balrog, Azathoth himself.

It is quite easy to get jumped during this run, but there are a few things you can do to prevent getting cpk'd. First off keep a close eye on who underg and who isle, to see if anyone is coming after you. Lock the door you came in through with the a blood covered key, it has 10 uses so don't worry too much about the charges. Usual CPK tactic involves someone going into the hallway before The Mighty Balrog, Azathoth and room shielding the room 1 south of him.

Using a warning bell snare and then searching for it, will prevent the rooms from been able to set another snare until the warning bell snare decays, if you have someone with room shield you can also room shield the room behind the black altar, since the altar is no magic it can not be removed from the other side. Cancelling abjuration 1 south of Azathoth can prevent people from room shielding you in or at least hinder them long enough for you to get out.

The Mighty Balrog, Azathoth encounter

Immune to: summon charm bash fire lightning negative light wood rods
Resistant to: magic weapon
Vulnerable to: holy silver
Save vs Spells: 99.
Save vs Paralysis: 95.
Save vs Rods: 100.
Save vs Petrification: 100.
* 'Sanctuary', cast at level 350.
* 'Fireshield', cast at level 350.
* 'Haste', cast at level 350.

His a scorching hellbrand, will grant him random sets of immunities, ranging from bash, necromancy, disease, poison, slash, pierce, etc. So at the start of every battle try out debuffs and weapons and find what works. The above read aura is what a typical repop will look.

He will cast bolts, energy orbs, extinctions, breath attacks, enervates, silences and para's. So have your psionic cancel conjuration (bolts) if you have one, before combat starts. If your tank gets para'd keep your tanks HP high, and remember he cannot leave the room even if leader leaves so the rest of you need to stay there and keep him healed, or switch to a secondary tank if main tank's hp is too low. However if secondary tank also gets para'd it could be quite a problem, so just sticking to one tank and healing them is a good idea. Fleeing in to cure disease the tank is also a neat trick to keep regen high.

Note: He has also being known to end incarnate toy soldiers should they become tank, so take extreme care if using one for additional damage.
