This is an expedition event within the Deathknell raid expedition. Its lockout timer is 4.5 days.

This is basically a two stage event in a room shaped like a plus sign; at each end of the wings is a Deathknell Watcher and a Deathknell Enforcer. In the Middle a bell hangs over a pit.

You say, 'Hail, Ayonae Ro'

Ayonae Ro smiles brightly, flames of insanity dancing behind her eyes. 'Welcome, guests of Deathknell tower. Here in my most desperate hour, away from scores of bloodsoaked madmen: murderers led by the Master's beckonin'. Battling, neighing, braying, preening, screaming . . . slaughtering without feeling. Yet even here
his eyes can watch us. [Destroy] them all, and end this night of eternal darkness.'

You say, 'We will destroy them'

Ayonae Ro directs your attention to the Deathknell Watchers, 'The granite beasts are not of my design. See how they spy. They are Mayong's thrall, and they will alert him as to your presence here. The gargoyles deserve nothing less than your worst.'

The Deathknell Watchers come alive, moving towards the bell in fixed intervals of time, one step at a time, regenerating to full and mem-blurring each step. Once they reach the bell, they toll it and cause devastating AE damage. When this happens it looks like this:

North Deathknell Watcher advances a few steps closer to the bell.

The Deathknell Watcher lurches forward and swats the bell. A sickening dissonant tone rings out, and Ayonae Ro screams in horror. The combined cacophany of sound brings you to your knees.

Your body and mind are wracked with pain.
You have taken 11550 points of damage.
(Cacophony of Pain)

To stop them or to push them back even, you've got to damage them before they can move further - each step corresponds to a certain percentage of damage taken in that interval. The Watchers are level 80, melee only (average hit 550, max 3.7k), and AE rampage.

Meanwhile, adds like a Truefaith minion, a Truefaith soldier, a Truefaith zealot (all lvl 73) and a Truefaith follower (lvl 69; charmable) will spawn. These are just trash and have to be disposed of.

After 15 minutes of fighting the Watchers become inactive and Stage 2 starts:

The Deathknell Enforcer breaks free from its statis, glowering at you with crimson eyes as it stands upright and spreads its wings!

All four Deathknell Enforcers come alive at the same time and have to be killed. The Deathknell enforcers cast Wings of the Gargoyle, hit for an average 1.5k and max of 4.5k. They also AE a DT trigger (5x per cast) that must be cured with RGC (same DT as Demiplane gargoyles).

Deathknell Enforcer has been slain by _____!
Your faction standing with Trueblood Coven could not possibly get any worse.

The ropes suspending the great bell creak, groan. . . and unravel. The brass monolith hangs in the air for a moment, then plummets down the shaft of the tower, ringing as it falls until crashing to a halt at the bottom.

Once they are all dead "a claw-scored chest" spawns with the loot from the event.

You need to do damage on each of the 4 Gargs that walk forward. When you did 10% dmg they dont walk forward most of the time. Sometimes the even walk forward if you do enough dmg.

You have to do that for a few mins (15 if i remember correct) In that time adds spwan too. After that time 4 defender Spawn wich you can kill one by one.
18?

How is loot obtained in this event? A chest? Or which mob drops loot?


Loot comes from a chest, which spawns after you succeed at the event (kill the last enforcer).

Whoops...its the watchers that advance to the Bell...after 15 mins the enforcers become active and you don't need to worry about the watchers anymore...at that point you need to kill all the enforcers

Say Destroy

Event starts.

Chest drops the loot in this event, as with all 4 events in DK. Forget its name, I'll see next clear. 3 loots + Twisted Harp String(backflag) for each chest.

Looting the backflag item results in the following text:

"You spasm uncontrolibly when your fingers touch the harp string. The memories of Ayonae Ro flood your mind. You are bombarded with with visions of unbelievible pain and suffering. You watch as your beautiful plane of existance is ripped asunder , as your closest friends are twisted into disfigured monstrosities or slain in cold blood. Images of darkness, death, and unmerciful slaughter assail you until it feels like you can take no more, When the mind meld ends, you feel as if part of your sanity has been lost, but in exchange you have gained the understanding of Deathknell. You can enter the bell tower at your will."
