EverQuest 2 Brigand Guide
Yes you get to fight King Drayek to finish up Fire and Ice, but he is a little bit different than the normal instance. First off he doesn’t have the two smaller encounters that you have to fight first. Second, make sure that you do not leave the inner circle of the room once the fight starts. If you leave this inner circle you will die instantly and be out for the rest of the fight. This also means you do not want to pull agro because he still has his knockback which can knock you out of the ring. The third differences is that he will become unattackable when he calls his adds at 50%. Once you finish his adds he will respawn with full life one more time. Once Drayek is dead you will get to see Darathar for a brief moment, but believe me you’ll get your chance to put the beat down on that huge dragon as well.
6.9. Deception
This is the third and final quest of the Speak As a Dragon / Fire and Ice epic. It is similar to Fire and Ice in that you will fight three different drakotas then the main boss, Darathar in this case. It is a little more challenging then Fire and Ice because the drakotas are level 57 and Darathar is pretty challenging your first time as well. If you’ve gotten this far and have some experience raiding, then this shouldn’t be any tougher then many of the other things you’ve done. All of these Drakotas and Darathar also have a high chance to drop a master chest as well, something that wasn’t apparent in the Fire and Ice quest. As your reward you will get the coveted Prismatic weapon as well as a Bejeweled Ring of Scales which is pretty decent depending on what you are wearing currently. Oh yeah and don’t forget you get to show off that nice new “of the Shard” title.
Vanudozalon the Elusive (Firemyst Gully)
This is a very interesting encounter because you will actually be fighting three of him at the same time. Two of these Vanudozalon’s are fake versions, hence his name. These fake versions are alot easier then the real version, they have alot less health and don’t hurt as much. The real version on the other hand doesn’t have any special AoE’s or anything like that, but he can hit pretty hard and make sure to watch out for his barrage. Once you start fighting it should be easy to tell which one is the real version by how fast he is dying. I usually find it best to kill the fake versions first and then just concentrate on the real one. I suggest using offtanks as well since it may be hard for
