Prerequisites: Main Scenario Quest Heavensward (Quest)

Strategy

King Thoradan

Turn away when he casts Dragon's Gaze to avoid being feared
for Lightning storm, spread out
Dragon's Rage - stack on the player who gets the glowing arrow
phase ends when he sticks his sword in the ground - stack in center if you're not already

Ser Chamibert

run in opposite directions to break the chain
one person per pillar of light

Ser Zepherin

the lower his health, the less damage Sacred Cross will do
three knights will appear at the edges and will charge forward
- stand in the correct spot along the edge to avoid them
  - don't be between two blue knights, be between a red and blue knight

Ser Janlenoux and Ser Adelphel

tank them apart so they don't tether
Divine Right - one knight will put up a shield buff, one a sword buff, focus on the one with the sword buff
blue marks will target three players and do aoe damage
- first targeted player runs to the right of the focused knight
- second player runs to the left
- third player runs to the right again
the knights will continue using Diving Right to swap their sword/shield buffs, change target to the one with the swords buff
