It appears that the Goggs have been secretly engineering a massive new automaton capable of thwacking and throttling on a scale heretofore unheard of. Put an end to the malevolent machina by doing a little thwacking and/or throttling of your own.

  • Barrage Fire: Repeatedly spins around doing melee AoE damage and randomly placing 3 circle AoEs around Formidable.
  • Fires of Mt. Gulg: Repeatedly does donut AoEs while placing 3 circle AoEs underneath Formidable and drawing in nearby players. Remain underneath it to avoid the pull and stand in the safe spot not covered by one of the three AoEs.
  • Dwarven Deluge: Spawns 3 small bombs and 3 seeker missiles around Formidable. After a moment, the bombs will expand then explode. Missiles should be intercepted to prevent splash damage.
