Walkthrough & Notes
Enter the Session Play instance as Laerdan. You are the equivalent of an Elite Master (with about 25k Morale) and have about 10 skills, so take a few minutes to read through and understand them all. Completing the instance will require you to be able to use all of them when needed. Clear through the various groups of mobs as you make your way farther up the hill until you reach Amarthiel. She will spawn four ranged and four melee Angmarim, and a countdown timer will begin. The idea is to survive until it expires, at which point Amarthiel will call off the attacks and the session play will end. Use your most powerful shot to take down one of the ranged Angmarim, then use your AoE incapacitate once several of the melee attackers are in ranged. Run to the other side of the platform, and then focus on taking down the other ranged Angmarim one by one. Kiting and interrupting the melee attackers while taking down the ranged ones is the key to surviving long enough.
