Id heard a lot about zhoqafa on the forums. Ive seen it mentioned numerous times in connection with final rest. So I decided to give it a try. For the first few events oft he chain I had to solo. My guild was too lazy to help and it was rather disappointing. Only until the first escort mission came up did I find help. Another joined. We did well until we were stopped in our tracks by a champion risen abomination. kitten that guy is hard with 2 people. We failed, we got 3, we failed. I found 5, and we ade it to 75 percent health in 4 minutes. Luckily 3 passerbys joined in. And then another three. Soon enough we had about 12. Now things got exciting, and we were only haflway through the chain. The chain continued along until we encountered another Champion risen abomination, which took another 6 minutes. In all id say with 10 people the chain takes 40 minutes. We killed the eye of zhaitan and all was joyous. The chest spawned, and I was rewarded with a lovely set of blues. Not final rest sadly. But I came away realizing that was pretty kitten fun. It was one of the closest things ive seen to a raid in this game. Somewhat of a mini raid but still. with 10 people it still became somewhat challenging.

I really hope to see more of this in the game. As far as I know, and as far as ive researched. There arnt many long, brutal chains like that. I hope for their to be more. It seems like a great substitution for raids! The open world experience definitely substitutes the instance raid well in my opinion. I just want more of it, more chains like that. Id really encourage you all to go try it out!

Yeah I remember doing the first 2 parts with a friend of mine but it took way too long for just us 2 and it was getting late. We quit and went back the day after and the progress of the event was where we had left it, lol. Luckily a guild joined on in with us so it got easier with more people.

The champion is really easy. Just spam weakness and cripple, run around the colum if he won’t break aggro and you can’t get away. If 4 engies can do it NP, you better not be having issues.

Abominations are immune to cripple, but not chill. The key with any abomination is: don’t let it hit you. And don’t use pets, minions, or clones/phantasms. They like to give the abomination free stacks of frenzy.

Those armadillos would be a lot cooler if they looked more like real armadillos. mmm armadillos
