    Thank you so much for doing this!. The white gold tower guide helped us in dealing with the planar inhibitor better, our old method used to result in someone dying always, hahaha. Looking forward to more videos :)

    Keep them coming. They're awesome, the way you explain them makes it easy to digest. When you're done with the dungeon series do you ever intend to do trials?

    Lets get the series completed, i don't always explain my future plans hehe. Thank you though for watching and i am very happy these are helpful! :)

    Love this series, has used for reference multiple times.
    only tips for improvements would be link or markers to bosses if your stuck on one.

    Especially useful as I just started tanking and tank must be aware of more mechanics.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Another Episode of All About Mechanics!

    This time Falkreath HOLD!!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCzikSum7x8

    Note: Yes i am aware that there are strict % of health in which some of the mechanics hit on Domihaus BUT depending on your damage these can overlap somewhat so explained as best as possible as to pay attention to what happened IN the video. All specifics if any required for other situations will of course be explained in more detail in the written guide coming SOON! ;)

    ENJOY!!

    You do a good job explaining the dungeons. Keep it up!

    For your Cradle of Shadows one, there's an even easier way to do Dranos. If tank is DK, have group stay by the door the whole time. Tank can move to essences and chain them in and Dranos will absorb them, when done, tank moves back to group by the door. I don't think the statues damage reach all the way to the door.

    Very true, the damage does reach to the door but it’s easier to avoid. I wonder who first found that method......🤔....🙂

    If you read the achievements it actually hints this.

    There is an achievement for never killing them. Only way to get this is to train the boss.

    For MHK:

    Ignore the stranglers. Unlike the other stranglers in Wolfhunter, these don't CC anyone and they serve only as a source of mild ambient damage. There's no point in wasting your damage on them (unless you're going for Strangling Cowardice) because they revive almost immediately. They activate whenever someone is nearby and go dormant when that person leaves their range. Their damage is so low that they are not really a threat to anyone and certainly not to the tank.

    The "leap" that you mention with the large wolves. This is a mechanic that happens on a timer. About every 30s, the wolf that the tank has taunted will grow restless and become untauntable, and the other wolf will do an AoE pounce that must be rolled, and after this happens, the tank will have to switch taunt to the other wolf since the wolf the tank had been holding is, again, untauntable for a period if time. This mechanic is avoided if one of the wolves is made to cower before 30s.

    Finally, I do not recommend killing the wolves again at the end. The wolves reactivate and they are unchained at 20%. At this point, they have more health than the boss does (boss has just 1.2m health and will be subject to execute damage bonuses, whereas the wolves will have about 1.7m health combined), so just have the tank taunt both (which is possible when they are unchained) and just kill the boss. Basically, once boss reaches 25%, kill the final wave of adds that spawn at 25%, and be careful not to push the boss to 20% while doing so. Once that final wave of adds are dead, take a moment to rez/recover/etc., and then tab target the boss, drop ults, and burn straight to 0.

    This Is the part I where point you to the written guide I spent all day creating. Not only linked in the description of the video but ALSO linked in the post on THIS page ;)

    By the way, I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but most of the time water is wet.

    Also, it turns out that the moon is not made of green cheese.

    I’ll post more salient observations as I think of them.

    No need to than me.

    YOU’RE WELCOME, CITIZEN.
