The Singularity Reactor
The climactic trial of the Heavensward main scenario, facing King Thordan and his Knights of the Round. Features multiple phases with knight summoning mechanics.
King Thordan
The corrupted Archbishop wields the power of Nidhogg’s eye and commands the Heavens’ Ward knights in battle.
Phase 1 (100% - ~50%)
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Ascalon’s Mercy | Cleave | Three frontal cones inflicting Windburn DoT - move behind Thordan |
| Ancient Quaga | Raidwide | Room-wide AoE damage - healers prepare |
| Lightning Storm | Spread | Random players targeted with circle AoEs - spread apart |
| Meteorain | AoE | Additional ground AoEs after Lightning Storm - keep moving |
Notes:
- Tank should keep Thordan faced away from the party
- Spread for Lightning Storm, then dodge Meteorain circles
Phase 2 - Knights of the Round
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Ser Janlenoux & Adelphel | Adds | Dash around creating light orbs that explode with Bleeding - position between orbs |
| Ser Vellguine | AoE | Creates a center line AoE - move to either side |
| Ser Hermenost | Stack | Creates three pillars needing at least one player each - failure causes party Paralysis |
| Ser Haumeric | Spread | Marks players with ice circles - go to edges and don’t overlap |
| The Dragon’s Eye | Gaze | Thordan gains buff, then uses The Dragon’s Gaze - look away before cast finishes |
Notes:
- Watch for knight spawns and react to their specific mechanics
- Always look away when you see The Dragon’s Eye buff appear
- Coordinate for Hermenost’s pillars
Phase 3 (15% HP)
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Sword Plant | Mechanic | Thordan plants his sword and summons multiple knights |
| Comet/Meteor | Adds | Destroy these circles before they land |
| Janlenoux & Adelphel | Adds | Keep separated - they strengthen each other when close |
| Ser Zephirin | DPS Check | Kill before Sacred Cross finishes casting |
| Ser Guerrique | AoE | Concentric AoEs - safe spot is behind his cone |
| Ultimate End | Raidwide | Massive party-wide damage - stack and use shields/regen |
Tips:
- Prioritize Zephirin when he appears - Sacred Cross is a wipe if it completes
- After Ultimate End, Thordan receives Damage Down and can be finished quickly
- Use Limit Break on Comets if DPS is tight
