Route schematic — planning order only, not a copied or exact in-game minimap.
  1. 1

    Slave camp

    Use efficient line-of-sight pulls without combining too many necromancers.

  2. 2

    Garfrost

    Use terrain to manage stacks and exit toward the quarry immediately.

  3. 3

    Quarry

    Control caster packs and avoid mine overlaps before Ick.

  4. 4

    Gauntlet

    Move as a group, kill priority casters, and do not outrun the healer.

  5. 5

    Tyrannus

    Keep Rimefang zones along the edge and call Brand targets.

Boss mechanics

Assignments that prevent repeat wipes.

Start with the primary call, then assign tank, healer, and DPS responsibilities before the pull.

Boss encounter

Forgemaster Garfrost

Primary call: Reset or manage Permafrost stacks using terrain/line of sight.

Key mechanics

  • Reset or manage Permafrost stacks using terrain/line of sight.
  • Move from thrown saronite and weapon-phase hazards.
Tank

Face frontals away, stabilize boss position, and use a defensive for the listed tank-buster window.

Healer

Pre-position for unavoidable group damage, dispel listed effects, and call external defensives before overlaps.

DPS

Interrupt priority casts, swap to required adds or objects, and save burst for exposed or intermission windows.

Boss encounter

Ick & Krick

Primary call: Avoid Poison Nova, Pursuit, and explosive mines.

Key mechanics

  • Avoid Poison Nova, Pursuit, and explosive mines.

Trash and route risks

What to stop between bosses.

  • Interrupt necromantic volleys and frost casts.
  • Use disease dispels and stuns in the gauntlet.
  • Enemy-forces values can change with hotfixes; import a current MDT route before starting the key.
  • Call every major stop and defensive in voice rather than assuming it is available.

Quests and unlocks

Do not leave rewards behind.

  • Complete the dungeon on Mythic 0 or obtain the matching keystone through the current Season 1 system.
  • Seasonal portals are earned by timing the dungeon at the required keystone level.

Final checklist

Before the group enters.

✓ Route reviewed
✓ Interrupts assigned
✓ Dispels confirmed
✓ Boss timers enabled
✓ Consumables ready
✓ Discord voice joined

These guides are planning baselines. Live hotfixes, seasonal affixes, difficulty modifiers, and private-server scripts can alter exact damage, timing, or enemy count. Verify the current in-game journal and your group’s route before the pull.
