| − | After killing the last of the ritualists Hellmaw will path one time around the room. He will stop where he initially was standing before the last mob was killed, then patrol up and down the northern most hallway indefinitely. It is best to pull the final ritualist far back to the southern entrance into the room. This will give you all the time you need to prepare for the final boss fight. |
||
| + | Some stone giants, like Archaedas, are constructs and ancient servants of the [[titans]], and guard their vaults. Although they are significantly smaller and weaker than their god-like creators, stone giants like Archaedas are still powerful [[giant]]s by [[human]] standards.{{fact}} [[Aman]] (if he is an actual titan) shows that this type of stone giant is supposedly in the titans' direct image.{{fact}} |
||
| − | First, have the [[Main Tank]] face him away from the party to minimize the effect of his corrosive acid. He fears fairly often, if the tank gets feared he may lose aggro, or the boss will follow him and hit other players with acid. A priest using [[Fear Ward]] can prevent this, a shaman can drop [[Tremor Totem]], otherwise the fear effect can be dispelled. Have someone keep track of time, so when there's 5 seconds left on the 25-second timer the healers can cast a couple of HoTs on the tank and move out of range, then get back and dispel if he is affected by fear. |

||
| − | A warrior using Spell Reflection can also avoid the fear - it won't affect the boss, but the warrior won't be either. Warriors can also "stance dance", use berserker stance to avoid fear, paladins can bubble out. Another method is using a warlock's felhunter with devour magic. |

||
| − | === Heroic === |
||
| − | This fight is all-over pretty easy even for inexperienced end-game players. The game goes just like before, though 2 healers might be a very good idea for this fight depending on your mana pool. After a few wipes we realized that Hellmaw in heroic mode was actually a timed encounter. An enrage ability activates if you don't kill the boss in maximum 3 minutes, pretty much like Mechano-Lord Capacitus in Mechanar Heroic Mode and one-shots every one by dealing over 30k damage on leather/cloth, 20k on mail and over 10-15k on plate. Heavy DPS is required in order not to wipe against this fairly easy boss. It is suggested to use all dump aggro abilities you might have like Soulshatter for warlocks or Invisibility for mages to keep steady DPS on him. Pulling aggro would result in possible death or losing precious seconds of DPS. Remember that resisting Hellmaw's fear might cause that person to die, it is suggested not to use any Shadow Resistance aura or Protection buff for this encounter. |

Revision as of 01:16, 7 November 2010
Archaedas is a giant of stone.
The term stone giant refers to three different, yet possibly interconnected, titan creations. All three are, of course, giants made of stone.
Archaedas
Archaedas, the stone guardian, has also been described as a "giant of stone".[1] This may also include constructs similar to Archaedas.
This type of stone giant may also include (or be known as) stone guardians,[1] stone keepers,[2] or stone watchers.[3]
Some stone giants, like Archaedas, are constructs and ancient servants of the titans, and guard their vaults. Although they are significantly smaller and weaker than their god-like creators, stone giants like Archaedas are still powerful giants by human standards.[citation needed] Aman (if he is an actual titan) shows that this type of stone giant is supposedly in the titans' direct image.[citation needed]
Stone giants
Stone giants[4] (also called wood giants[5]) are found primarily in Northrend. They look like mountain giants with trees sticking out of their backs, and roots wrapped around their heads. These stone giants look more like a type of colossus. Some of the stone giants are rune-inscribed, the runes control the giants.[4][6]
Based on his quotes and his association with Kurun, Gavrock (a colossi) may be one, but without the trees.
Also, the Grizzly Hills Giants who work with Kurun may be the same type of creature, even though they are mountain giants.[7]
Stone giant (model)
Some of Northrend's stone giants are more detailed appearing more human-like with carved beards, and armor. One of their hands seems to have been replaced with a spiked boulder.
