This mission awarded +30 Combine Empire Merchants rep for completion

You say, 'Hail, Tactician Sodut'

Tactician Sodut says 'Prime Researcher Elnot sent you? I'm sure that we can discover what you need to learn, in time, but first we must finish what we started together. I am confident that Emperor Vaakiszh holds the key you need to save our city, if you are brave enough to [undertake] this final mission.'

Your task 'A City in Peril - Speak with Tactician Sodut' has been updated.



*note- 'Undertake' is the key phrase to request Solteris#5. I must have gotten a taskadd for #4 beforehand, but never did 'A City in Peril' (Solteris #2b) until just then. This text came about after accomplishing 3, and 4 already.

The emperor says that all in the tempe will come to his aid but only the "event adds" will appear. Of course, you should have at least the floor below him cleared to avoid possible social aggro (not tested) and get some maneuvering space.

1. You start the event by saying "Death".

2. The emperor does NOT activate.

3. 3 waves of 2+ mobs spawn in the corridor outside, commanders being unmesable but all are rootable. Kill as much as you can.

4. Wave 4.
Now the emperor activates and another wave is spawned outside.
If someone is quick with AE root or the likes, the adds can all be intercepted outside before ever entering the room.

We fought the Emperor alone and killed the adds later.

When getting ready for Wave 4, you should have the tank ready at the emperor, attack on and spamming bellow.
If not aggrod quickly the Emp can warp someplace else and the event will reset.
Besides, you don't want 3k flurries on a random group member.

Hi, not in a anguished geared zone but am well dressd with necro and paladin.
Guild has one heavy tank and have done this missions with a 18k tank but we couldnt not finish the last fight with emp. Just wondering is it a waste of time to continue trying? Are the mobs inside zhisza so hard that if we got access we would be struggling to get the mobs inside dead? Any input would be great primarly want to get in here for nice paly cleric drops which seem to be absent from everywhere else in this expansion.

Thanks

just finished it today after the new patch, much easier..im 21khp 2600ac war max aa.... commanders are non mezable, all other adds mezable, adds spawn 2 on first round, 2 on 2nd, then 3 and 4 on last round, then emp is active, i am not sure if he spawned a 5th set of adds, I dont think so. so if you have lots of dps you can clear most of the adds before round 4.
war should go fort when the emp is active and charges group, all dps on the emp, an offtank is a good addition to this fight as well as an enchanter, so easy with enc. enc mez all non commanders,off tank picks up all adds on wave 4 for mez and to ot, once the fort wears off, war goes defensive and clicks all his skills, everyone burns dps dis on emp and drops him fast, then cycle non mez commander adds, and then mezed adds, hand in the documents ftw took less then 1.5 hrs. much much less mobs and easier adds on boss then pre-patch zortho

You say, "Hail, Prime Researcher Elnot Wymun"
Prime Resarcher Elnot Wymun says "Time has not cooled Prexus' anger at us, and our danger could not be greater. The very existence of our city hangs in the balance. If we do not find a solution we are all doomed. Meanwhile the artifact continues to [darken]"
You say, "Darken"
Prime Resarcher Elnot Wymun says "I think I see now the link that eluded me btween the failing Pellarus Satum and the darkening skies above the waves. Prexus hinted that the Pellarus Stum is in fact a god-artifact and if that is true then it can belong to no other god than Solesek Ro. If my theory is correct then the Pellarus Satum is powered by a link directly to [Solteris] itself."
You say, "Solteris"
Prime Resarcher Elnot Wymun says "Solteris is the Throne of Ro, the seat of his power. Nowhere else is in Solusek Ro more powereful than atop his thorne in Solteris. If the Pellarus Satum is linked to Solteris then the [cause] of our present misery must lie there. Something is gravely wrong with Solteris itself and it seems to worsen every day".
You say, "cause"
Prime Resarcher Elnot Wymun says "The only way to know for certain how to repair the Pellarus Satum is to attempt something that no other mortal has ever dared. We must [send a force] to Solteris itself to discover the root of the darkness that is spreading accross Norrath and resolve it, if it is even possible for us to do so".
You say, "Send a force"
Prime Resarcher Elnot Wymun says "I fear that this task is beyond the knowledge of the Combine. To travel to Solteris we will need to seek the knowledge of outsiders. It will be dangerous but I believe the [Shissar] hold the key we now seek."
You say, "Shissar"
Prime Resarcher Elnot Wymun says "Seek out Tactician Sodut in the city. You must work with Tactician Sodut to uncover a way to use Shissar technology to travel to Solteris. I eagerly await your return ________"
You say, "Hail, Tactician Sodut"

Incidentally in order to get this mission you need to say "undertake" to Tactician Sodut. Then say "alert" to enter.

We confirmed today that you do NOT need to clear the whole temple. We sneaked past several sections of the temple and left a lot of mobs alive but the only mobs Emperor Zaarisz summoned were the weaker spawned waves of mobs (although they do come VERY rapidly, no more than 30 seconds between waves)

Undertake (is the keyword) to spawn the mission so you don't have to run back to Elnot repeatedly once you have completed the earlier Progression parts.

In a CoA guild, warrior, cleric,druid, bsty, wiz, bard.
Cleared our way in, got to top, hailed, started waves. Mezzed as we went, when unmezzables popped, swithed targets, took down commanders, took down named.
Win.
First time in there, didn't know what to expect, not that bad at all really.
