Let's just say that poor Cazic Thule will not be telling any of the Joint Alliance members to "talk to the hand" as Vhorvaldt, Eradas, Rumor, Martheis, Mackleeric, Nobel SD, and Malorne took it down about as fast as you take down a diseased rat.

Next week will continue the assault on Thule with the attemted destruction of the God of Fears Avatar on Norrath. This will follow a short warmup of the sea monster Kratas.

Everyone here has fought Kratas before so key for him is PR and do not melee since he has a bigtime damage shield.

For the Avatar of Fear I am told Arcane resistance is paramount with Disease and Poison resistence secondary.

Also...we will have spies stationed in two Dragon's lairs. One will be at the entrapped dragon Lady Vox and one at the scourge of Box Canyons, Skahyir the Giant eater. (Obviously with these being rare spawns (especially Vox) we will have to mobilize quickly. Gear for Vox is CR and Skahyir is LR.

If anyone has found my information to be flawed please speak up.

I now open this thread to discussion.

Avatar of Fear

2. Put Heart in altar in center room and get the Rubi Talisman.

3. Go to the orb platform directly across from altar and use talisman to be transported up one level.

(Transporting uses up the Talisman. You will need to go back and kill another Archon to get another heart.)

5. Continue to kill High Priest Siblis until he drops Skull of Siblis (rare drop).

5. Drop back down and run into the chamber with "thulian man eaters".

9. Step back into pool. Get pop-up window. Choose to toss Symbol of Fear into pool and get Sapphire Talisman (repeat for every member)

10. Go to room with Tae-Ew Excavator, step on portal platform, and talk to golem to teleport to next temple.

11. Go forward to dead end in tunnel and search for pop-up window.

12. Choose to search in pop-up window and get other half of tablet.

13. Fight your way to the inner pyramid and drop down, through a bubble of green water, into a room with Tae Ew Chosen.

14. Kill Tae-Ew Chosen and get Emerald Talisman.

15. Continue to kill Tae-Ew Chosen until it drops Horn of Cazic.

16. Go over to altar beside spirit guardian and get pop-up window. Choose to place all 3 talismans and Horn to get Glowing Tablet.

18. Buff up for fight.

19. Go to front of altar and get pop-up window. Choose to give away Tablet of Haz'kar and Avatar of Fear spawns.

[glow=red,2,300]At step 10 of this quest... the portal will once again take your talisman required to spawn AoF. The person with the quest logged and all the pieces needed should stay behind and be CoTHed over to the next temple area to preserve the talisman.
