Notes
Victory awards Remembrance of Hoarah Loux. Enia offers Axe of Godfrey or Hoarah Loux’s Earthshaker in exchange.
The golden shade fought earlier is a separate encounter. This is the return after Maliketh changes the capital.
Watch the raised foot for the stomp. Jumping the ground shockwave can keep you close, but the axe or hand follow-up still needs a response.
As the shockwaves expand, distance alone no longer avoids every stomp.
Hoarah Loux’s open-armed approaches are grabs. Do not rely on a shield to hold through them.
His leaps and ground eruptions can have delayed follow-ups. Wait for the entire sequence before healing or starting a long cast.
Complete both phases in the same attempt. The transformation does not provide a flask refill.
Sir Gideon Ofnir must be passed on the sanctuary route before reaching this arena.
