Sohm Al (Hard)
Lore
"The fall of Nidhogg brought an end not only to the Dragonsong War, but also to the hierarchy of power that reigned upon Sohm Al. Bereft of its dreaded leader, the Horde scattered to the four winds, leaving the dragons' sacred grounds untended and unguarded. All manner of beastly intruders now skitter within, irresistibly drawn by the energies of bountiful crystal lodes. And the molten heart at the mountain's core beats with feverish intensity, as if seeking to expel some nesting parasite. Answer Vidofnir's plea! Cleanse the stone halls of their infestations, and return Sohm Al to its former tranquility." — Game Description

Objectives
Bosses
The Leightonward
- Excretion Targeted attack with Heavy component.
- Spore Sac Spawns many spores which will explode shortly.
- Inflamable Fumes Room wide AoE.
- Glorious Blaze A proximity based explosion.
Gowrow
- Volcanic Howl Room wide AoE
- Untelegraphed frontal cleave. Moderate damage. Can be dodged by tank.
- 360° Swipe.
- Faces target and unleashes a fireball.
- Faces target and unleashes a linear flame breath.
- Faces target and charges.
Very similar to Giruveganaus in Stone Vigil and Coincounter in The Aurum Vale. Most of this boss' attacks are untelegraphed. Move away if he faces you. Melee should learn to tell if he's doing a frontal cleave or a 360° swipe.
Most of his attacks also leave behind a healing-down debuff if it connects with a player.
Lava Scorpion
- Molten Silk 270° telegraphed close range cleave. Safe zone is directly behind. Often turns around and repeats from the other side.
- Deadly Thrust Very high damage attack on primary target.
- Hiss Summons 2-4 Scorpions which should be killed.
- Realm Shaker Short range circular AoE around boss.
- Flying Press Randomly marks a party member for a moderate attack with splash damage. Will create lava puddles randomly(?) around the room.
The lava puddles left behind by some of his attacks do high damage. Move toward the boss if necessary so you don't have to run through them to get back.
Beware Deadly Thrust in conjunction with damage from adds. Healers should be ready and tanks may want to use cooldowns.
