Tapping into the aetherial energy of a nearby crystal deposit has filled Darkscale with newfound strength. Engage the unyielding dragon in one last battle to the death.

— In-game description

Darkscale Devoureth is a level 55 FATE spawned in The Churning Mists.

Rewards

• 1   Tipping the Scales

Notes

Darkscale will primarily attack Vedrfolnir and only occasionally attack random players, regardless of enmity. Due to this, a tank is not necessary.

When Darkscale summons dark levin crystals and tethers to them, he will gain Vulnerability Down and take negligible damage until they are destroyed. This will happen three times during the fight.

Dialogue

Start

Vedrfolnir: Darkscale! I have cornered you at last.
Vedrfolnir: Your captains have all fallen to me.
Vedrfolnir: Now, you will join them!

Darkscale: ...“Cornered,” you say?
Darkscale: Look around you, fool.
Darkscale: This is my lair...and I have lured you into it.
Darkscale: You will not leave this place alive!

First crystal phase

Darkscale: You are a worthy foe...for a traitor.

Vedrfolnir: Face the truth, Darkscale! You are beaten!

Darkscale: Beaten? I think not...
Darkscale: Behold!!!
Darkscale: O, Nidhogg! Give unto me your strength!

Vedrfolnir: The air stirs...?
Vedrfolnir: The crystals...! He drinks of their power!

Darkscale: The fire! It wells from within!
Darkscale: Now I shall smite you like the worm you are!

Second crystal phase

Darkscale: I cannot fall to this traitor...!

Vedrfolnir: You know not what you do, Darkscale! The power you seek will destroy you!

Darkscale: Silence, fool!
Darkscale: Gladly would I give my life in service to my lord!
Darkscale: I must have more power! MORE!!!
Darkscale: GWAHAHAHA!!!
Darkscale: I AM INVINCIBLE!

Vedrfolnir: No words will reach him now...
Vedrfolnir: Steel yourself. We face a desperate foe.

Darkscale: COME, AND I SHALL SMITE YOU!

Final crystal phase

Darkscale: How can this be!?
Darkscale: Such power is mine, and still the traitor does not fall!
Darkscale: I must have more strength...
Darkscale: Give unto me the power...!
Darkscale: Give unto me all there is to give!

Vedrfolnir: You only hasten your own demise, Darkscale!

Darkscale: GRAHAHAHA... I HAVE DRUNK MY FILL.
Vedrfolnir: He has exceeded his physical limits.
Vedrfolnir: What drives him to such madness...?

Darkscale: COME, TRAITOR!!! I SHALL TEAR THE WINGS FROM YOUR BACK!!!
Darkscale: MY CLAWS SHALL RIP THE SCALES FROM YOUR FLESH AS MY FIRE CHARS YOUR CORPSE TO A SHRIVELED HUSK!!!
Darkscale: YOU WILL BURN, VEDRFOLNIR! BURN!!!

Vedrfolnir: Alas, the proud dragon who once lived is now gone...
Vedrfolnir: Consumed by power and hate, he is but a machine of destruction now.
Vedrfolnir: Join me, mortal, and let us put Darkscale out of his misery!

Vedrfolnir at low HP

Vedrfolnir: Our foe is strong...
Vedrfolnir: ...and his power grows with each passing moment.
Vedrfolnir: But if not I, who shall defend the spire!?
Vedrfolnir: Yes, I must fight on!
Vedrfolnir: I will not abandon those who suffer at Darkscale's ravaging claws!

Vedrfolnir: It does not even scathe him...? Inconceivable!
Vedrfolnir: Do we battle in vain...?

Ending

Darkscale: THIS CANNOT BE!
Darkscale: I AM DARKSCALE, GENERAL OF NIDHOGG! I WILL NOT FALL TO THIS TRAITOR!
Darkscale: I MUST HAVE MORE POWER...! More...power...

Vedrfolnir: ...It is over.
Vedrfolnir: I take no joy in Darkscale's end, but at last, these halls will know peace again.
Vedrfolnir: I must return to Zenith.
Vedrfolnir: Till we meet again, O hero among mortals.
