Abilities[]

No phases: Battle of the Creators, Blinding the Vision[]

During this fight, players will split into two groups, one will combat Klaxon on the outside, empowered by the Elders, while another group will venture inside of Klaxon, and fight their way through his body, in hopes of reaching Klaxons core, and defeating this great being. Inside of Klaxon stand three creatures dubbed "The Spawn of Klaxon" that will fight the invasion team. The Spawn of Klaxon are as difficult, and possess abilties similar to that of 5-man dungeon bosses. In tandum with the Spawn of Klaxon, Klaxon possesses some security measuers to combat the invasion team. Klaxons HP on the outside is so immense, it would take 1 hour, at the least to kill him. Klaxon can be tanked on the Outside, so usual 5-man dungeon tactics are required.

Hope of the Elders: The players fighting Klaxon on the outside gain this buff, increasing their size, stats, regen, attack, and magic damage to be able to combat Klaxon.
Cleansing Fire: If there are no players attack Klaxon on the outside, or not enough damage is beaing dealt, he will use this, and kill all players, inside and outside.
Might of the Fusing Spawn (HARDCORE ONLY): The Spawn of Klaxon are attuned to Klaxons being, increasing all stats, health, damage, etc by 20%. If all three Spawn of Klaxon are in the core room they will form together to form the minor Old One Brenandaby.

Preparation[]

This fight is by NO MEANS an easy fight, chances are, you will wipe multiple times before you get it right. For the groups, split your highest damage dealers into the invasion group, for although it will make the later part of the fight last a little longer, after the core is destroyed, it will make getting to that point much faster. For tanks, have your main tank stay outside on Klaxon, and have your off tank go in the invasion force. Healers are not as important but many groups keep their best healer outside on Klaxon, to keep up with the immesne damage dealt. Make sure all your players are very well geared, preferably having end tier vanilla gear from Omegaheim, but Ruin Fyjorn gear is recommended. DO NOT attempt Master or Hardcore Klaxon unless you've done the fight before, and are fully geared in Normal Outer Regions gear, or Master Ruin Fyjorn gear.

You have been warned.

Quotes[]

Intro:

Tylious: Who... Who are you old man? This is no place for the likes of you!
The old man laughs.
??? 2: Clearly you do not know me, but... She does.
Sera looks startled as he points at her, she looks down at him, an ever so slight bit of worry crossing her face.
??? 2: Ah yes, my old friend Sera, where was it we first met again? Oh yes, "High Noon, White Gold Fountain" I believe it was.
Sera steps back at the sound of those words. She quickly grabs her note pad and hands him a note.
Sera (note): Xanaxath!?
Xanaxath: Indeed! It is I, Xanaxath, leader of the Elders, sworn enemy of the Old Ones and of Thotazlxax! You could say our goals are the same.
Tylious looks down at the old man, before shaking his head.
Tylious: And why should we trust you? How do we know this isn't some plan by Thotazlxax to get rid of us once and for all!?
Sera hands Tylious a note, a stern look on her face.
Sera (note): Tylious, trust him. Trust me. I know Xanaxath, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be alive right now!
Tylious looks at Sera, before sighing and looking at Xanaxath.
Tylious: Alright, I'll trust you. But I don't see how you can help us defeat that!
Xanaxath: That? That is Kla... Actually, I'll let him tell you that.
Xanaxath walks down the great bridge, followed closely by Sera. Tylious follows soon after.
???: You did not listen! You did not heed our warnings! This is an encounter you cannot sur...
The great being lets out a gasp.
???: XANAXATH!? YOU DARE DEFILE THIS PLACE WITH YOUR BEING!? I SHALL SYOP YOU HERE, I SHALL END YOUR RUN OF TERROR NOW!
Xanaxath: Now now, why not let these heroes here know who you are?
Klaxon: PAH! They are not worthy of the honor, but seeing as you've made it this far, I shall grant you one final wish. I am Klaxon, the Celestial Architect! Brother to Great Thotazlxax... I am the Vision of Creation!
Tylious and Sera stand aback at the sound of that.
Tylious: So... You are the Vision we were warned about... Xanaxath, how do you plan on defeating such a great being?
Xanaxath: I have a plan, don't worry.
Xanaxath turns towards the players.
Xanaxath: Hereoes, I would ask a favour. Half of you must infiltrate Klaxon, he is not an organic being, he is a great construct. Inside of him is a power core, this multiplies his power a thousand fold! You must destroy it, to aid the other half of you. Those who do not infiltrate Klaxon shall be granted my boon, you might shall grow, you shall take Klaxon on head on! Tylious and Sera shall fight along side you as well! Quickly make your decision, the invasion team must get in there fast, lest our mission fail!
Klaxon: I grow tired of your pestering, I shall end this here and now! YOU SHALL NOT BLIND THE VISION!

Aggro:

I am the Vision of Creation! I am brother to great Thotazlxax! I can destroy and create planets at will! You shall not blind my ultimate vision! YOU SHALL NOT SILENCE THE VOICE!

Planetary Annihilation:

The might of creation flows through me, and through this power I shall end you now! The might of a collapsing planet is not a thing a mortal can handle!
Feel the force of creation, of destruction. This is the power I possess!

Exticiton Burst:

With this power I have wiped out entire civilizations! You caanot hope to survive for long!

Vision of the Creators:

A cullmination of all my powers, the very might of my power in a single bolt. The power to create, the power to DESTROY. Not even you, empowered by the tyrant Xanaxath can survive this!

Planetary Cleave:

Even something as simple as a cleave has the power of the void, the power to cleave your life from your pathetic body, THE POWER TO CLEAVE YOUR BEING!

Sweep of the Vision:

Pathetic, ALL OF YOU! You dare defy the ultimate vision! I SHALL DESTROY YOU ALL! Feel the AGONY as the void crushes around you, as the power of creation breaks your will!

Death:

Klaxon: So my vision shall falter, a great creator has fallen, a child of this universe falls this day.
Xanaxath: So it shall be, Klaxon. This is a great day for my people, and for yours aswell heroes.
Klaxon: One creator has fallen, but your final obstacle still stands, ahead of you waits Thotazlxax, the strongest of my people, the voice of creation, the creator of all you see before you!
Tylious: It shall be a great battle, but Thotazlxax shall fall!
Klaxon: Do not get ahead of yourself fool, Thotazlxax is much greater than I, you're lucky the drums of creation still beat their endless beat. If not for those, you would be dead already!
Xanaxath: The drums of creation still beat! This is great news!
Tylious: What are these drums?
Xanaxath: You shall soon see them for yourself, but be gald they still beat, be glad that there are still those who defy Thotazlxax here.
Klaxon: You've come this far, so turning back would be fruitless, but I must insist: listen not to the voice! For those that listen, your doom shall be spelled out before you!
Klaxons body begins to crumble away, his body falling into the void.
Sera (note): Through these doors our goal awaits, through these doors does the fate of our universe.
Tylious: Brace yourselves heroes, for I'm sure a challenge never seen before awaits you.
Xanaxath: Thotazlxax should not be taken lightly.
Tylious, Sera, and Xanaxath turn and face the great gates ahead of you.
