A council-style fight with Karathress and three Fathom-Guards. Each guard killed grants Karathress a new ability.

Key Mechanics

◆Tidalvess (Shaman): Spitfire Totem, Frost Shock
◆Sharkkis (Hunter): Pet, Multi-Shot
◆Caribdis (Siren): Healing Wave, Tidal Surge
◆Karathress gains abilities from dead guards
◆Kill order critical

Four tanks needed, one per enemy. Kill order: Tidalvess (Shaman) first — kill Spitfire Totems immediately. Then Sharkkis (Hunter) — control his pet. Then Caribdis (Siren) — tank her far away to prevent her healing allies. Finally Karathress himself. Each dead guard gives Karathress a new ability, so the fight gets progressively harder. Casters can split to DPS Caribdis while melee handle the kill order. Interrupt Caribdis's Healing Wave.
