Hope wipes and lost hope on “rezzed” people are the biggest problem when fighting Thaurlach, also worth mentioning is the disease he spews and the poison.

You have a catch-22 here, when you get him down he drops a broken chain link, which gives you a nice hope bonus for three hours when you hand it in to Glorfindel in Rivendell. It´s very common that kinships raiding the rift saves the handing in of that link until they go to fight Thaurlach, giving them a nice hope-bonus that also stacks with hope-pots (Edelharn tokens) or with the minstrels song of the hopeful heart.

There is thing you can do here, you can find a kinship handing in this link and just stay near Glorfindel when they do so and you will also get the this hope buff. It might be tricky to syncronise that time and also I guess you might want to do it the hard way :-)

Well I try to link a nice pic taken by one of our members from before our kinship managed to bring him down…

and no Zubon, it doesn’t make the game more fun, it just makes it harder and more dramatic.

Why hope wipes? They are always combined with massive dread, and it is effectively massive AE CC against players. Does it in any way make the game more fun?
