I have to say I was very excited when I first laid eyes on Byzola for the fist time in Hate. The creature model they decided to use for her has always been my favorite in the entire game and I always thought, what a shame such a cool boss mob was buried in the depths of Fallen Gate. That being said this is among my favorite encounters to date right up there with Nexona. I mean any fight where your healers get to kick some booty is all right by me.

Byzola is the embodiment of hate. There are three sets of add one that is an Epic 4x Nighblood, A set of 3 heroic Nightbloods and the worst of the bunch the class specific adds, more on this later in the strategy. She has an AE that requires jousting and a couple of tricky curses all of which are covered below. The rest of the fight is standard faire.
