Summary

- To trigger the event, someone needs to run into the tree.

- At the top of the ramp, use fire nukes and ranged/melee attacks to DPS the Molar and Impacted Molar to their deaths.
--- The Molars do not summon and are permanently rooted.
- Every 1-2 minutes, four trash mobs spawn at the bottom of the ramp and auto-aggro anyone in the zone.
--- These can be killed by regular DPS.
--- Each individual trash mob can be run over one of the two campfires, and then DPS'd to 60% at which point they will run up to the Molars and explode, damaging the two Molars; however, you may find this more trouble than it's worth.
- After the two Molars and all trash mobs are dead, you can enter the tree (you can take a break and med up at this point).

- Clear your way up the ramps, being careful not to aggro the Nest Protector in its room.
- Once ready, engage the Nest Protector.
--- The Nest Protector and all adds are leashed to the room. If you pull them outside the room, they reset at 100% health.
--- Nest Protector has an AE knockback.
--- An aura circles the room, inflicting anyone who steps into it with a DOT countdown to a knockback + nuke.
--- The Nest Protector spawns timed adds (3x "an aggressive ant") every 30-45 seconds.
------ There is a maximum number of adds that can be up at one time. These are stunnable and mezzable.
--- Sporali mobs also appear here, but it is unclear what they do (also mezzable).
--- Several mantraps surround the room. These will summon random players to their locations, silencing them. To free a player in a mantrap, the mantrap must be killed.
------ These respawn instantly, but the player is freed upon the death of a mantrap.
- Kill the Nest Protector and all aggressive ants to win the event.
