This is a non-progression raid task that begins with General Lereh Dirr (click for map image) in the Dark Reign camp of the Lavastorm Mountains.

- Level 68+
- Minimum 6 players; maximum 54 players

You say, 'Hail, General Lereh Dirr'

General Lereh Dirr says 'May the Child of Hate bring a cloud of hate and darkness to reign over the lands of Norrath!'

You have been assigned the task 'Reflections of Silver'.

Of the pair of metallic dragons that make Stillmoon their home, it is not immediately clear which of the two is more dangerous. We must slay them both without pause. See to it that Rikkukin, the platinum dragon, does not give you any trouble.

The Event

Rikkukin the Defender is the only mob you'll have to contend with here.

Rikkukin the Defender says 'Is there one among you with a guilty burden to bear? I sense the culprit, the slayer of my mate. You will all perish for this misdeed!'

He hits for a max ~3,400 and has ~900,000 hitpoints. He buffs himself with:

Breath of Rikkukin: Self 0', Unresistable (0)
8: Increase Mana by 8 per tick
10: Increase Hitpoints by 8 per tick

Sheen of Platinum Scales: Self 0', Unresistable (0)
1: Increase Chance to Reflect Spell by 33%
2: Increase Poison Counter by 99

He has a regular AE:

Crystal Chill Fog: PB AE 2000', Cold (-475)
1: Decrease HP when cast by 1250
2: Decrease Hitpoints by 750 per tick

And he has emote-based AEs and abilities (10-15-second warning time):

Rikkukin pulls his right arm back, preparing to cut a swathe through his opponents with his razor sharp claws.
--- Warning for AE on right side.

Rikkukin claws at those on his right flank.
--- Seen as right-hand AE is cast. ("Clawed Swipe")

Rikkukin pulls his left arm back, preparing to cut a swathe through his opponents with his razor sharp claws.
--- Warning for AE on left side.

Rikkukin claws at those on his left flank.
--- Seen as left-hand AE is cast. ("Clawed Swipe")

Rikkukin twirls his tail, preparing to sweat away those foolish enough to take up position behind him.
--- Warning for rear AE.

Rikkukin swats at those behind him with his tail.
--- Seen as rear AE is cast. ("Tail Sweep")

Rikkukin rears backs and fills his lungs, preparing to exhale a cone of ice.
--- Warning for frontal AE.

Rikkukin exhales a cone of deadly ice.
--- Seen as frontal AE is cast. ("Rikkukin's Cone of Cold")

Rikkukin twists his body so that the ambient light starts to reflect from his silvery scales.
--- 10-second warning for "Blinding Light" (turn away from him to avoid being blinded - there is no emote seen when it's cast).

Rikkukin's skin seal over with a caustic sheet of malleable ice. The protection will soon make him impervious to melee and magical attacks.
--- In a few moments, he will become temporarily immune to damage.

Rikkukin (Frozen Aura) focuses inwardly and heals his wounds through sheer force of will.
--- Seen as he becomes immune to damage.

Clawed Swipe: Directional AE 500', Cold (-500)
1: Decrease Hitpoints by 5000

Rikkukin's Cone of Cold: Directional AE 500', Cold (-500)
1: Decrease Hitpoints by 5000

Tail Sweep: Directional AE 300', Magic (-500)
1: Decrease Hitpoints by 7000

Blinding Light: Single Target, Magic (-1000)
1: Blindness (-1)

Also accompanying his directional emotes is this, letting you know which player he'll be facing (whoever's tanking, of course):

Meanwhile, his attentions are focused on _____.
