Learn how to defeat the Artifact Challenge encounter,
Contrastare i Gemelli
, as a Balance Druid. In this guide, we'll go over optimal talents, legendaries, gear, consumables, and spec-specific tips.
This guide is about the Legion version of the Mage Tower Challenge, that isn't accessible anymore.

The artifact appearance is a unique reward from completing a challenging solo scenario that can only be entered while the Mage Tower building is active on the Broken Shore. It rewards a unique artifact appearance, the Manascythe.

Preparation
There isn't much preparation you need to handle. Below you will find some recommendations, tips, and specific information regarding mechanics. It never hurts to see a video before you stepping into the zone. I recommend this video because it shows the proper way to handle the encounter, mistakes included.

Gear
For this scenario I would recommend having around an item level of 915, you can do it with less but may run into more difficulty. If you have an item level of 925 or higher, this encounter will be very easy. If your gear is below 900, you will have a difficult time keeping up with damage requirements. Having plenty of mastery will help as it is incredibly helpful for this scenario.
Consumables
I strongly recommend using a flask and a rune. If you're struggling in the last phase, use drums. You don't really need a food buff, but every little bit helps. "Broken Shore" buffs do not work because the instance is technically located in the Twisting Nether.
Pozione del Potere Prolungato
Tamburi della Furia
Tonico del Patto Sussurrato
Piatto di Leccornie dei Nobili Oscuri
or
Banchetto Sontuoso di Suramar
Runa del Potenziamento Profanato
Talents
These talents aren't very flexible. I strongly recommend you take what is suggested below, especially
Anima della Foresta
,
Stelle Cadenti
, and
Flusso Stellare
.
The only flexible talents are
Bestia Distorcente
and
Tifone
. These can be exchanged with
Carica Selvaggia
and
Intrappolamento di Massa
, respectively.
Legendary Items
Segreto di Sephuz
is, by far, the best item for this scenario. It's easy to proc, and it provides a huge boost to burst damage. It doesn't get better than Sephuz's Secret.
Other legendary items are flexible, it does not matter. If you have the choice,
Intuizione di Oneth
is the next best item. After that, it's a toss-up between
Prydaz, Magnum Opus di Xavaric
and
Vilessenza Impeccabile
.
Creatures
There are 6 NPCs in the challenge.
Raest Lanciamagica
Karam Lanciamagica
Demonio Ombroso
Vestigia Ombrose
Mano Dimensionale
Cosa dell'Incubo
The scenario's win condition is just that you defeat
Raest Lanciamagica
. The encounter will not end until both
Raest Lanciamagica
and
Karam Lanciamagica
are defeated. But you will have fulfilled the requirements if you defeat Raest; and you will have earned your Artifact appearance too!
Raest Lanciamagica
will channel
Rituale
and is immune to damage while
Karam Lanciamagica
is actively chasing you.
Energie d'Ombra
goes away during phase transitions and is removed in the final phase (Phase 3). While Raest is active, he will cast
Dardo d'Ombra
at the player. This doesn't do much of anything and is easily countered by
Affinità della Rigenerazione
.
Karam Lanciamagica
will fixate to the player while he's active. Karam acts as the trigger for transitioning between the phases. When you knock Karam down to 33.3% health, he will cast
Purgatorio
and start to heal over the next 35sec back up to roughly 70%. He will use
Purgatorio
two times and each cast signals the start of the next phase. Karam may be crowd controlled, however, the duration of CC is reduced to that of PVP timers and diminishing returns.
Demonio Ombroso
and
Vestigia Ombrose
are not very threatening, but don't let them hit you. These enemies should be cleaved down, but do not focus your effort on them. Your
Pioggia di Stelle
,
Fuoco Solare
, and
Fuoco Lunare
will naturally rot them away.
Fuoco Lunare
should be cast on
Demonio Ombroso
, but not
Vestigia Ombrose
.
Vestigia Ombrose
have a smaller health pool and thus your time can be spent on other enemies.
Mano Dimensionale
are very dangerous. These enemies spawn every 30sec and start to cast
Presa Fatua
. You have two options here: Kill it before the cast finishes, or interrupt it with
Fascio Solare
. Always try to kill it without using your interrupt. These enemies can only be interrupted; stuns and knockbacks do not interrupt their cast.
Guerriero di Elune
is very potent for
Mano Dimensionale
. You should have plenty of
stacks to dump into this enemy.
Cosa dell'Incubo
is extremely dangerous and will cause you to fail the scenario if not handled properly. To properly handle this enemy, simply do your best to never need to fight them.
Raest Lanciamagica
will cast
Runa dell'Evocazione
periodically. (It's a pink colored circle/rune.) Standing on the rune for approximately 2 seconds will cause this minor explosion, signalling the rune has been destroyed. You will not take damage from standing in
Runa dell'Evocazione
. To keep it simple, you're "soaking"
Runa dell'Evocazione
to prevent
Cosa dell'Incubo
from spawning. As for how dangerous this enemy is, it will hit you for about 1mil per hit, and it runs as fast as you.
Phase 1
"I... obey."
Raest Lanciamagica
is immune to damage during this phase, and no adds will spawn. It's a duel against
Karam Lanciamagica
. Use your
Allineamento Celeste
to open. Use
Pozione del Potere Prolungato
as soon as you hear Karam say, "I...obey." (Combat starts ~1sec after this chat message.)
After about 35-40sec of roleplaying,
Karam Lanciamagica
starts to chase you. If he gets within range to auto-attack you, he will cast
Drago Nascente
. You may use crowd control, such as
Tifone
, to create some space. Keep in mind that spammable CC, e.g.
Radici Avvolgenti
, will last 8sec, and suffer from diminishing returns. (
Radici Avvolgenti
will last 8sec on the first cast, 4sec on the next cast, 2sec on the cast thereafter).
Karam Lanciamagica
will drop puddles underneath himself. These puddles do not deal damage, but they slow the player by a large amount. These puddles do not slow anything else in the encounter -- only the player may be slowed. These puddles do not despawn. A simple way to handle this mechanic is to simply kite Karam around the outside of the room, just be sure to bring him back before he reaches 33.3% Health.
This phase is completed when
Karam Lanciamagica
uses
Purgatorio
. This is cast when Karam reaches 33.3% Health. Karam will be immune to damage and heal back 36% of his total health over ~35sec.
Phase 2
"Once again I must clean up your mess, brother!"
This phase begins when
Karam Lanciamagica
uses
Purgatorio
for the first time.
Raest Lanciamagica
will be targetable for a short time. Adds will spawn periodically throughout the phase as well.
While
Karam Lanciamagica
is immune to damage,
Raest Lanciamagica
engages the player.
Raest Lanciamagica
will chain-cast
Dardo d'Ombra
. (Do not interrupt
Dardo d'Ombra
.) Raest will summon 3 packs of 5 enemies, all of which spawn
Demonio Ombroso
(1) and
Vestigia Ombrose
(4). Your primary goal is to deal as much damage to
Raest Lanciamagica
as you can before
Karam Lanciamagica
finishes channeling
Purgatorio
(~35sec, or after the 3rd pack of adds is spawned.) Don't worry about the small adds as they should passively die throughout the encounter before they reach you.
When
Karam Lanciamagica
finishes channeling
Purgatorio
,
Raest Lanciamagica
becomes immune to damage again.
Karam Lanciamagica
will periodically summon
Mano Dimensionale
. As per the information above,
Mano Dimensionale
will cast
Presa Fatua
. You should always aim to burst these enemies down, but you should favor Starfall over Starsurge. Make use of
Flusso Stellare
and hardcast while moving. It makes it much easier because
Karam Lanciamagica
is still deadly if he reaches you.
Phase 2 is completed when
Karam Lanciamagica
uses
Purgatorio
. This is cast when Karam reaches 33.3% Health. Karam will be immune to damage and heal back 36% of his total health over ~35sec.
Phase 3
"Useless! Stand aside while I do what you cannot, brother."
Phase 3 is the same as Phase 2, except
Raest Lanciamagica
will be targetable for the rest of the encounter and he will cast
Runa dell'Evocazione
periodically.
This is the final phase, so it's time to do as much damage to
Raest Lanciamagica
while it's still easy. After the first pack of adds spawn, use your
Allineamento Celeste
,
Pozione del Potere Prolungato
, and
Tamburi della Furia
. Burn Raest has hard as you can.
Raest Lanciamagica
will summon multiple packs of adds, each pack consisting of
Demonio Ombroso
(1) and
Vestigia Ombrose
(4). Raest will create the first
Runa dell'Evocazione
after the first two packs of adds have spawned. Your primary goal is to deal as much damage to
Raest Lanciamagica
as you can before
Karam Lanciamagica
finishes channeling
Purgatorio
(35sec or so).
Karam Lanciamagica
will periodically summon
Mano Dimensionale
.
Higher gear levels (925+) should be able to burn Raest without any issues. Lower gear levels will still be forced to deal with mechanics. It gets very hectic very fast. Keep calm and focus on soaking
Runa dell'Evocazione
. Defeat
Raest Lanciamagica
first and you fulfill the requirements of the quest. Try to tune out the small adds and focus 100% on single target damage, the sooner
Raest Lanciamagica
dies you win.
Tips and Tricks
Your first try is free. Retrying costs
Scheggia Fatua
x100 per attempt.
Sometimes it's a gear issue. It's okay if you need more Artifact Traits or a higher Item Level. It makes a huge difference.
Roleplay/Banter (Phase 1), takes about 35-40sec.
Mobs falling through the map/terrain is really jarring, I've noticed this is mostly due to rooting them.
Raest Lanciamagica
Defeating Raest is the only condition for completing the quest objectives. You don't need to defeat
Karam Lanciamagica
.
Karam Lanciamagica
(Phase 1), kite around the outside of the room. Less puddles in the middle later on. Remember to bring him back before the Phase 2!
Mano Dimensionale
(Phase 2, Phase 3), to prevent this enemy spawning out of your range, keep
Karam Lanciamagica
near the middle. (
Mano Dimensionale
uses Karam's location as a guide.)
Mano Dimensionale
(Phase 2, Phase 3), you can survive
Presa Fatua
with Barkskin or
Prydaz, Magnum Opus di Xavaric
, but only just barely.
Karam Lanciamagica
may gain the really silly ability to teleport to the player. If Karam doesn't have a path to you, he might teleport to you and kill you. Yes, it's happened to many of us.
Runa dell'Evocazione
(Phase 3) can be a little weird on timing. Be proactive and soak early. Use
Bestia Distorcente
to get there quickly.
