EQ2 Mob:Tythus Tinzok  

Tythus Tinzok unlocks the third portal in the Palace of the Ancient one once defeated. This fight is a bit different especially if you don't have a completely geared raid force with a minimum of 40% critical mitigation on their gear. Getting the critical mitigation gear into the raid has been a challenge with The Shadow Odyssey expansion, being that the critical mitigation gear is not smart loot enabled. This became a bit more achievable with the latest patch and the introduction of the 3rd tier shard armor. Now its a matter as always of paying attention and of course having the right strategy and tactics.

Known Info

This fight is a healer centric fight with three detrimental effects that must be cured, one physical, one magic based and one elemental based. You will need high resistances in Magic and Fire as well as hight base mitigation on all raiders and at least 40% critical mitigation on all raid members. This is a split tank encounter one on add management one on Tythus. The single largest difference in this fight is the amount of healers this strategy requires. Normally I don't put a great deal of emphasis on the roster set up but this fight is the exception. This will remain true, at least until your raid gets the timing down. The last bit of critical info is have a monk along it makes set up and running up the spiral stair case of monotony mush less frustrating more on this later in the strategy This fight requires a great deal of preparation work for each individual raider so crack that whip or dangle the loot table in front of your raiders.

Strategy Overview

The pull for Tythus begins with the raid force set up as seen in the diagram below. the whole raid force can get in place prior to the pull with out Aggroing Tythus or his endless stream of void beasties. Once every one is in place have a feign death class out of raid but with an invite at the ready pull Tythus and feign then very quickly re-join the raid. This resets the encounter so any void beasts that have been summoned and are hanging out at the bottom of the stair case de-spawn. The MT should pull Tythus the micro second that he re-spawns. If your super lucky you will get no adds from the portal on the pull but in most cases you get one.

It is very important that you get a solid timer call on Void Slide so that your raid force can get their backs up against the spike that juts out on the dais in the center of the room to ensure that they do not get knocked across the room or worse yet down the stairs.

The MT pulls Tythus off to the spot in the diagram and does their best to hold Tythus still. We have our Bruiser pull the portal add off to the DPS spot to get burned down by AE damage. The OT should be at the ready to grab the first add which spawns very shortly after the MT gets Tythus in place. These will re-spawn on a constant interval through the whole fight and need to be pulled instantly by the OT and die as fast as possible.

There are three critical detrimental effects that must be mitigated during this fight they are Void Slide, Dark Flames of the Void, and XXXXXX these of course are detailed above. Which is why if you look at the raid line up for this fight there are many more healers to help with this. You must have a healer that can cure arcane and elemental in every group. Potions are not a guarantee during this fight because of the stun effect that comes with Void Slide.
