Restoration Druid Artifact Challenge Guide
This challenge consists of 7 Stages that you must overcome in order to obtain your Artifact Appearance. The scenario is designed to test not only your ability to heal, but also your mastery of all aspects of your specialization. You are accompanied by Commander Jarod Shadowsong (Warrior), Granny Marl (Hunter), and Callie Carrington (Rogue). These NPCs must be kept alive throughout the entire scenario. If any of them die, you will fail the scenario and need to start at the beginning. If you die, the NPCs will continue fighting until either they die or the scenario is complete.

Recommended Legendaries (not required but helpful)
Stage 1 -
Consiglio del Titano Oscuro
,
Carezza di X'oni
, or
Edraith, Vincoli di Aglaya
Consiglio del Titano Oscuro
- provides excellent single target healing increase.
Carezza di X'oni
- provides more frequent access to
Pelle di Legnoduro
and a significant healing increase when
Pelle di Legnoduro
is used.
Edraith, Vincoli di Aglaya
- the HoT refresh can be very helpful if you're struggling with mana or need to save a few extra GCDs.
Stage 3 -
Prydaz, Magnum Opus di Xavaric
,
Consiglio del Titano Oscuro
,
Ekoporter, Creatore di Mondi
.
Prydaz, Magnum Opus di Xavaric
- solid survivability increase.
Consiglio del Titano Oscuro
- provides excellent single target healing increasing you survivability while damaging enemies.
Ekoporter, Creatore di Mondi
- increases your
Dono di Ysera
healing and
Pelle Spessa
damage reduction which allows you to focus on damage more instead of healing.
Stage 5 -
Essenza dell'Infusione
and
Visione di Velen
Essenza dell'Infusione
- allows you to use
Tranquillità
to full heal one set of NPCs.
Visione di Velen
- excellent increase to your healing when healing the NPCs. and also leverages the overhealing of others to that same goal.
Stage 7 -
Consiglio del Titano Oscuro
,
Edraith, Vincoli di Aglaya
,
Prydaz, Magnum Opus di Xavaric
,
Consiglio del Titano Oscuro
- provides excellent single target healing increase.
Edraith, Vincoli di Aglaya
- the HoT refresh can be very helpful if you're struggling with mana or need to save a few extra GCDs.
Prydaz, Magnum Opus di Xavaric
- solid survivability increase, but be mindful of the shield. It can be difficult to deplete the absorb shield in time to maintain your health at low enough levels to not cause the debuff to explode for significantly more damage.
Trinkets
Stat sticks (Intellect and static secondaries) are best for this as they provide a constant predictable healing increase. Example:
Urna Eterea
,
Arcanocristallo Instabile
, etc.
Proc trinkets are sub-optimal, but okay if you have no other options.
Mana trinkets should be avoided as more throughput is typically better and the extra mana does not contribute to your damage
Recommended Talents
Abbondanza
- While not ordinarily a talent we take,
Abbondanza
provides significant increase to
Ricrescita
which we'll be using heavily throughout the encounter to quickly heal targets back to full health.
Bestia Distorcente
- Excellent mobility for quickly avoiding mechanics, or running away from Risen Soldiers.
Affinità del Guardiano Ferino
- Excellent damage reduction and allows us to leverage
Forma d'Orso
for damage as well.
Tifone
- With very little crowd control in our toolkit,
Tifone
gives us a necessary interrupt, daze, and knockback all-in-one on a short cooldown.
Incarnazione: Albero della Vita
- Provides us with an extra throughput CD, that can also act as a damage reduction, empowers some of our other abilities, and is a flat throughput increase that is available on-demand.
Germinazione
- Because we'll be healing a small subset of NPCs and ourselves,
Germinazione
provides the best overall throughput gain.
Scorzapietra
- While not ordinarily a talent we take,
Scorzapietra
provides more frequent access to
Pelle di Legnoduro
and a significant healing increase when
Pelle di Legnoduro
is used.
Stage 1: The Landing
The first stage of the scenario requires you to complete 5 waves of undead enemies with no break in between. You can drop combat briefly in between waves by not interacting with your allies as a new wave spawns, allowing you use of potions, preferably
Pozione della Grazia Letale
but
Pozione del Potere Prolungato
is also a great option. Extra damage that you provide will lower the healing requirement.
Wave 1: Archer
A single
Balestriera Rianimata Corrotta
activates that is focused by the entire party. You can use
Tifone
to interrupt the
Puntura di Mana
ability. Additionally you can place a
Vortice di Ursol
prior to the ranger jumping away to cause the pull back to interrupt
Puntura di Mana
. If you are hit by this ability you will lose considerable mana and take heavy damage. An ally NPC can intercept this ability if they are standing between you and the
Balestriera Rianimata Corrotta
to soak it for you, but be warned, this will still deal heavy damage to them instead of you. As our CC is extremely limited, you should get used to positioning yourself for an NPC to intercept the
Puntura di Mana
and providing significant healing and frequent use of
Pelle di Legnoduro
.
Wave 2: Archer/Mage
A
Balestriera Rianimata Corrotta
spawns with a
Mago Rianimato Corrotto
on this wave. The
Mago Rianimato Corrotto
will cast
Bombardamento Arcano
on a random target, increasing in power as indicated by a buff on the
Mago Rianimato Corrotto
. Interrupt the
Mago Rianimato Corrotto
with
Tifone
, when they reach 2-3 stacks of their buff. This will interrupt the cast long enough and cause the buff to drop and reduce overall incoming damage. Continue to deal damage to the
Mago Rianimato Corrotto
while using NPCs to intercept the
Balestriera Rianimata Corrotta
's
Puntura di Mana
.
Wave 3: Mage/Soldier
The last new mob type activates on wave 3, the
Soldato Rianimato Corrotto
. They have two abilities, a
Danza del Coltello
that does heavy aoe damage and a
Ossessione
that prioritizes you and does significant single target damage if they reach you, If more than one
Soldato Rianimato Corrotto
is using
Ossessione
, then the second one will tend to prefer one of your friendly NPCs. Focus your damage on the
Mago Rianimato Corrotto
while staying close enough to the
Mago Rianimato Corrotto
to be able to interrupt the
Mago Rianimato Corrotto
at 2-3 stacks of their buff in conjuction with the
Soldato Rianimato Corrotto
's
Danza del Coltello
with
Tifone
. Initially, this can be tricky to do. If you can't interrupt the
Danza del Coltello
with
Tifone
, then that's okay but you will need to do more AoE healing. The most important interrupt is the one on the
Mago Rianimato Corrotto
. After every
Danza del Coltello
, the
Soldato Rianimato Corrotto
will
Ossessione
you. As a Druid, we have a lot of answers for this. We can
Bestia Distorcente
or
Slancio
to avoid the
Soldato Rianimato Corrotto
entirely, but this will reduce our healing and damage throughput but is a safe option. We can use
Radici Avvolgenti
to root the
Soldato Rianimato Corrotto
. Note that
Radici Avvolgenti
only lasts 7 seconds in this scenario and diminishes in effect after each cast. The final option is to shift into
Forma d'Orso
and just tank the incoming damage using
Vello di Ferro
and
Rigenerazione Furiosa
.
Wave 4: 2xSoldier/Mage
Two
Soldato Rianimato Corrotto
s spawn and after a short time will both cast
Danza del Coltello
. At this point, the
Mago Rianimato Corrotto
will be at 2-3 stacks of the buff. You need to interrupt all three NPCs with
Tifone
or at the very least the
Mago Rianimato Corrotto
and one of the
Soldato Rianimato Corrotto
s. If you fail the interrupts on the
Soldato Rianimato Corrotto
at any point during this wave as they can be tricky, I highly recommend using
Tranquillità
to catch up on healing. After this the
Soldato Rianimato Corrotto
s will
Ossessione
. I highly recommend using
Radici Avvolgenti
to avoid the
Soldato Rianimato Corrotto
that is fixating you as this allows you to continue healing the friend NPC that gets targeted by the other
Soldato Rianimato Corrotto
. Keep damaging the
Mago Rianimato Corrotto
when possible and they should die before reach high stacks again. Once, the
Mago Rianimato Corrotto
is dead, this wave becomes significantly easier. Utilize the
Radici Avvolgenti
or
Forma d'Orso
strategy to hand the remaining
Soldato Rianimato Corrotto
s.
Wave 5: Soldier/Mage/Archer
For Wave 5, you MUST have your
Tifone
already off cooldown. As the last wave activates, position yourself close to the
Mago Rianimato Corrotto
so you're able to quickly utilize your NPCs to intercept the
Puntura di Mana
. As with the previous wave, you'll utilize
Tifone
to interrupt the
Soldato Rianimato Corrotto
at 2-3 stack of the buff just as the
Mago Rianimato Corrotto
casts
Danza del Coltello
. For the
Soldato Rianimato Corrotto
's first
Ossessione
, pop
Incarnazione: Albero della Vita
. This allows you reduce the incoming damage thanks to the increased armor, as well as provide throughput increase and strong mobile healing with instant
Ricrescita
allowing you to better position yourself for
Puntura di Mana
intercepts. Also feel free to make use of
Innervazione
,
Pelle di Legnoduro
, and
Tamburi della Montagna
. It doesn't get any worse than this so hold nothing back.
Completed this wave? Congratulations! You’ve completed the hardest Stage of the Scenario!
Stage 2: Searching for the Rook
Follow your NPCs into a small room after eating and swapping gear if necessary, easy!
Stage 3: Desperate Times
A 5 minute time trial to rescue your allies begins. At the recommended gear level, this is very easy to make the damage requirement. Do not rush yourself, there's plenty of time.
Part 1: Capture
Your allies are captured and you are surrounded by enemy Inquisitor eyeballs. They will do pulsing damage which is negligible. HoT yourself up and take care of these one by one. Upon death they will detonate for roughly 50% of your maximum health. Top your health up after each detonation. Take your time, avoid multi-dotting, do not rush this. The timer for this stage is incredibly generous. Don't be afraid to go bear form and use
Rigenerazione Furiosa
to heal yourself either.
Part 2: Stairs
After killing the eyes, a gate will open leading to a Felguard, a few bats, and some fel orbs moving randomly around the room. Do not go through the gate. Fully HoT yourself and pull all the adds with
Fuoco Solare
through the gate towards you. The damage is relatively low just kill them off while not letting yourself get too low. For added protection you can shift into
Forma d'Orso
and just tank the incoming damage using
Vello di Ferro
and
Rigenerazione Furiosa
while still dealing damage. Use
Fuoco Solare
on the fel orbs which essentially subdues them for a short period of time. They will revive after a short time allowing them do to significant damage, so don't linger about. Open the gate once the fel orbs are subdued.
Beyond the Gate are 5 NPCs, 4 friendly and one enemy. One friendly NPC is feared running in circles and if they run over you then you will also be feared for a short duration. Target the feared NPC and immediately dispel them to prevent getting feared. The three other friend NPCS are injured and taking significant damage over time. Quickly stabilize them with
Rinvigorimento
s and then full heal them with
Guarigione Immediata
and
Ricrescita
. If any of the three die, they will become very large and powerful enemies that will likely cause a wipe. The final enemy NPC is a
Balestriera Rianimata Corrotta
. Avoid engaging her till the end. Use
Tifone
to interrupt the
Puntura di Mana
or you can use the healed NPCs to intercept Mana Sting while damaging her.
Another gate needs to be opened and there are a lot of fel orbs on the other side. Simply
Fuoco Solare
groups of fel orbs to subdue them and sneak past.
The final gate holds your friends, an Inquisitor, and multiple eyes exactly like from the start of this stage. Single target damage the inquisitor while keeping yourself fully HoT'd avoiding the spinning eyes he places on the ground that increase your damage taken if you stand on them while also doing damage themselves. Do not kill an eye with this debuff active as it will almost guarantee your death. Finally kill each Eye one by one to rescue your pals.
Stage 4: What Lies Ahead
This is a preparation stage. Take as much time as you need, change talents, refresh Food/Flask buff and adjust legendaries and gear if need be. If you think you'll need it wait for your
Esausto
to expire for another use of
Tamburi della Montagna
. Open the gate to start Stage 5.
Stage 5: Erdris and the Risen
For this stage, you have a limited amount of time to heal multiple waves of 3 NPCs that slowly move towards the boss. Every NPC that you fail to heal will become an enemy in Stage 6 that you'll have to kill. Reducing the number of enemies or eliminating Stage 6 altogether is the key here. The 3 types of enemies are the same as the ones you encountered in Stage 1 so if you absolutely can't heal one of them then you potentially could choose what types of adds you face in Stage 6. At the same time you are healing these NPCs, Erdris, the boss, has turned your allied NPCs against each other so you must keep them alive. This part is rough especially for a Restoration Druid that requires time to do their healing, but it's absolutely possible.
Prior to the first wave, fully HoT yourself and your allies as well as placing an
Efflorescenza
. This ensures that they remain relatively stable and provides your
Ricrescita
s with extra crit from
Abbondanza
For the first wave, use
Tamburi della Montagna
,
Incarnazione: Albero della Vita
,
Pozione del Potere Prolungato
, and begin using
Rinvigorimento
,
Ricrescita
, and
Guarigione Immediata
on the incoming NPCs, prioritizing the NPC to your right first as it first comes into line of sight. There is some Line of Sight issues with getting these adds targeted so ensure that they are over the ledge before you begin casting on them. Be sure to not neglect your allies letting one dies results in a wipe. Find which ally is getting targeted by the other two (essentially whichever is getting annihilated) and
Pelle di Legnoduro
as necessary.
For the second wave, continue to full HoT your allies. As the NPCs come in, if you have
Essenza dell'Infusione
, then just use
Tranquillità
to top them off otherwise you may need to apply a
Rinvigorimento
to each NPC and top them at the end of the
Tranquillità
with some
Ricrescita
.
For the third wave, you only have to full heal 2 NPCs. As always full HoT your allies and then pour everything you have left into two NPCs completely neglecting the third. You'll have time to drink after this stage so do not let mana be an issue. This is the toughest part for us but do not spend extra GCDs on the extra add.
Missing 3 adds total throughout Stage 5 will make Stage 6 exceptionally difficult, missing more than 3 will almost ensure a total wipe.
Stage 6: Rise, Soldiers!
This phase is made easier by your performance in Stage 5. You are faced with any NPCs that you did not top off. They are the same enemy NPC types that you faced in Stage 1 and follow the same priorities as outlined in Stage 1. Kill any remaining enemies and the final Stage begins! Be sure to drink, rebuff, and change gear if necessary before Stage 7.
Stage 7: A Thorn in the Side
This phase is quite simple but requires some precise positioning and healing on your part. At the start of the phase, immediately move to the edge of the room to maximize your the area for the encounter.
Ser Erdris Rovospina
has two abilities, a Leap that deals moderate damage to you and leaves large fel patches on the ground that deal moderate damage, and a
Incendio dell'Anima
similar to the one on the Nightbane boss in Karazhan that deals damage to your party equal to your current HP.
As
Ser Erdris Rovospina
leaps and puts down fel patches you want to stack these as close together as possible being right at the edge of the previous fel patch. Towards the end of the challenge you may run low or out of room entirely if you don't place these properly. The fel patches only damage you and not your allies so their positioning should not be a concern. This setup of fel patches maxmizes your space to accomodate the encounter, but also allows you to handle the
Fusione
. Essentially you'll want to maintain 50% or so health at all times as to not instantly kill your allies with the debuff expiration the more gear you have the more dangerous this can be as the adds health does not scale as rapidly as your own. Don't be afraid to let yourself get as low as 30% health if you are more geared. You need to be able to survive the leap and fel patch damage combination. The fire explosion is the only to your damage allies with the exception of a very minor amount to Jarod due to tanking
Ser Erdris Rovospina
. Keep everyone fully HoT'd and heal yourself to always be within 50%ish health. If you are too high feel free to step into the fel patch to lower your health. This stage is really a balance but a very easy one if you don't panic. If you are quick, you can
Bestia Distorcente
as
Ser Erdris Rovospina
leaping to avoid all the fel patch and leap damage, but it's not necessary. Feel free to throw in some extra DPS as necessary.
If you die towards the end of the encounter, do not release.
The NPCs will continue to damage the boss until either they die or he's defeated. You might still win.
Congratulations on your new appearance!
