Thok ast Thok (Hard)
The first trial of Heavensward, pitting players against Ravana, Lord of the Hive. An 8-player encounter introducing the Seeing Wing/Tail parry mechanic and Bloodlust gauge.
Ravana
The Lord of the Hive wields multiple blades and uses dance-like combat abilities. Watch his parry buffs to know where to attack from.
Phase 1 (100% - 60% Bloodlust)
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Seeing Wing | AoE | Parries attacks from sides - attack from front or back |
| Seeing Tail | AoE | Parries attacks from front/back - attack from sides |
| Blinding Blade | Tankbuster | Heavy hit on tank - use cooldowns |
| Prelude to Slaughter | AoE | Series of attacks: small PBAoE (move out), line AoEs (find gaps), donut AoE (move in) |
| Slaughter | AoE | Cross-pattern line AoEs with safe corners, marked players get circle AoEs - spread apart |
Notes:
- Pay attention to which Seeing buff Ravana casts and position accordingly
- Line markers during Slaughter inflict Burn DoT if touched
Phase 2 - Gana Phase (60% Bloodlust)
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Spirit Gana | Adds | Summoned adds - kill after Moon Ganas |
| Moon Gana | Adds | Priority targets - kill these first |
| Falling Laughter | Enrage | Cast if adds survive too long - spawns extra swords |
| Bloody Fuller | Raidwide | Party lifted and attacked with swords - too many swords = wipe |
Notes:
- Always prioritize Moon Ganas to prevent sword buildup
- The more swords spawned, the more damage Bloody Fuller deals
Phase 3 (Post-Gana)
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pillars of Heaven | Knockback | Knockback from arena center - position near edges away from fence gaps |
| Surpanakha | Cleave | Targets second-highest enmity with red marker - separate from group |
| All Previous | - | All Phase 1 mechanics continue |
Tips:
- Tank swap or use invuln for Surpanakha if needed
- Stay away from fence gaps during Pillars of Heaven
- Continue watching Seeing Wing/Tail throughout the fight
