The Primal Council
These masters of the elements are ruthless in their pursuit of power. Embar Firepath is as merciless as the fire she commands. Opalfang wields the might of the earth to crush her enemies. Kadros Icewrath is cold and cruel, while his sibling Dathea Stormlash is as wild and unpredictable as a raging storm.
Fight Summary
Primal Council is a single phase encounter with four bosses.
Opalfang & Embar Firepath are melee bosses and require tank swaps.
Kadros Icewrath & Dathea Stormlash are caster bosses and require interrupts.
These bosses do not share health and when a boss dies it will channel its Convocation ability which deals increasing damage until all other bosses are defeated.
