To those of you that haven't done it heed this warning: Bring some Soul Gems! Trust me, you do NOT want to end up slain by the friggin floor with no way to get revived or revive yourself because it is a loooooong way back from the Wayshrine...

    Maybe I'm just a bad player, but I view soul gems kinda like they said in the old "American Express" commercials back in the day...

    Don't leave home without them! ;)

    The floor in the room of this Group Event is a fire trap. I was killed when the entire floor decided to be aflame all at once and had Soul Summons cooldown and no Soul Gems so I had to run all the way back because the floor pulled a d**k move. Just giving fair warning to those that haven't done it yet to carry some Soul Gems so the same does not happen to them...
    Spoiler
    The boss uses Dragon Leap among other DK moves
    but beyond the fact that that's the first time I've ever seen an NPC use that move the NPCs in entirety were nothing I couldn't handle with my friend. It's that damnedable Trial of Fire floor trap that was my issue...

    There's corners and edges that don't get the fire. I just stayed in those, did some LOS and made the boss come to me.

    In all honesty, I have no idea how I managed to survive that boss fight the first time. When everything became fire, I totally lost track of what the hell was happening.

    That's how I did it as well.
    Stay out of the flame area, and the group event isn't too bad.
    Step into the red, and get roasted.
    If you know it... ;)

    Yeah at first I relied on how only some quarters of the floor were aflame at a time, and then it all lit up and I realized then the safest place to be was hugging the wall.

    You guys do know that you can jump up on the platform that has his throne right? When you enter the room, look to the right of the platform and jump up on the tallest Vase. You can then leap up on the edge of the platform, hold block and jump to the left a little bit more until you are able to jump completely up there. You then simply aggro the boss, make him dragon leap up top with you and you can solo him pretty ez.

    The fires are a problem throughout though, but thanks for the tip lol

    I meant the fires are a problem the entire time you are in the room if you are not on the platform because you have to go around and kill all the enemies down there. You may also have some trouble getting up there right away if the NPCs interfere lol

    That fight was rough on me to solo. I was in there too long before I started the event. Didn't realize most of my gear was broke from exp grinding. Punk fell though to my naked nord fury. :D

    Yes I found it more challeging dungeon than Rkindaleft. I really enjoyed it! I was lucky tho. Did all the bosses and didn't have to use any gems. I did panic a couple of times tho cause I did get overwhelmed while I was alone (if you dodge roll a lot when you fight like I do, be very careful about pulling other groups - it can happen so quickly and easily). The group event itself, I did mostly by myself but had 2 others join in near the very end.

    It was a fun fight!

    Loved the fire! Made it much more interesting than the normal run roll through everything.

    I have a high resistance to fire (& other elements), hence my survivability. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

    I've soloed this event several times, as others have said there are always alcoves on the sides where you can avoid the fire. There are also two nice sized areas near the entry where you can bring the boss and avoid the flames for the duration of that fight as well. I will admit the fire damage is a little more on the insane side.
