Vatar, the Wight-Lord

Background

Vatar is the Wight-Lord, found deep within Garth Agarwen. One can assume that he is in command of the Wights that spread terror and destruction across the Lone-lands. He is also the personal guardian of Naruhel, known commonly as the Red-Maid, and he stands guard in front of the doorway which leads to her chamber.

Overview

In order to open the door that leads to the Red-Maid's chamber, Vatar must be defeated.

Once engaged, a short in-game sequence plays before he is engaged. The fight itself can be divided into two "phases":

Phase 1

• He appears not to use any special abilities during this phase, and hits moderately hard.

Phase 1 lasts until Vatar's morale reaches 1%, at which point he falls to the ground. Shortly thereafter he summons five or six Creeping Muck-Crawler adds that can easily be killed with area-of-effect damage. He enters Phase 2 after they are all defeated.

Phase 2

• Self-heals initally, bringing his morale back up to 100% (not interruptable).
• Summons 3-4 Creeping Muck-Crawlers approximately every 20 seconds.
• Continues to hit for the same damage as previously.

Vatar is defeated when his morale is fully brought down a second time, regardless of how many Creeping Muck-Crawlers remain. However, the adds do not de-spawn and will need to be dealt with sooner or later.
