Key fights

Garou Thane

Enemies: Garou Thane leading a warband pack (Garou Hunters, Berserkers, Druids)

Threats: Heavy-hitting 2-handed cleave special attack that breaks blocks/one-shots heavy plate, enrage phase (gains rage at low health, granting complete immunity to all stuns and crowd control except Crystal Bow stun), backed by ranged Hunter fire and Druid poison

Weaknesses and resistances: Weak to Crush damage; resistant to Stab; rage form is immune to stuns (Fire/Wind stagger)

Tactics: Clear the squishy Druids and Hunters first to eliminate poison and ranged pressure; maintain mid-distance to bait the Thane's heavy melee swings, dodge rather than parry/block during rage, and utilize high ground or construct elevated platforms to shoot or cast down safely

Rewards: Blueprint: Thane's Authority (Tier 4 two-handed greataxe), animal bones/materials

General Velgar

Enemies: General Velgar (the Green Dragon)

Threats: Poison breath sweep, airborne poisonous sludge barrages/bombs during flight transitions between platform corners, delayed tail swipes and ground-slam rock waves dealing physical and poison damage

Weaknesses and resistances: No direct elemental weakness; immune to Poison damage/status and immune to Burning

Tactics: Summoned at the dragonkin altar at Velgar's Rise using a crafted Challenge Horn; equip an Anti-Dragon Shield, consume Lesser Antipoison or Kebab (Fungal Fortitude), stay close enough to his flanks to easily roll through his wide poison cone without being animation-locked, and rotate clockwise around the arena perimeter each quarter-health phase as he bombards the arena from the air

Rewards: Velgar's Head (quest turn-in), Draconic Visage / Dragonblight Shield (T4), Tome of Dragon Slaying / Tome of the Dragonslayer XP books, Ascension Shard 4

Enemies

General Velgar

Steal / drop General Velgar's head

Green dragon boss located at the central tower who unleashes creeping ground fissures and poisonous aerial bombardments

Garou Thane

Weak to immune to stuns when enraged (except Crystal Bow stun)

Ferocious high-tier Garou that becomes extremely aggressive and difficult to interrupt during combat

Tips

Keep Antipoison potions ready on your hotbar and use aerial maneuvers or dodges to neutralize the hazards during the General Velgar encounter.
