Thalnos the Soulrender
Evicted Soul: Dispel Evict Soul promptly because each tick creates a soul add. Handle the spawned souls and kill Empowering Spirits before they reach Fallen Crusader corpses and create powerful zombies. Spirit Gale: Interrupt Spirit Gale. If it completes, leave the resulting Shadow zone and reposition the boss safely; do not remain in it to kill adds. The healer also watches for the Fallen Crusaders' Mind Rot disease.

Encounter 2 / 3 · Scarlet Monastery
Brother Korloff
Blazing Fists: The tank faces Korloff away from the party and gains distance from frontal Blazing Fists. Tank and healer save defensives for later, as Rising Flame increases Fire damage as the boss loses health. Firestorm Kick: Stay spread and clear of Korloff's kick area when he leaps to a player. Later he leaves Scorched Earth while moving; lead the fight into clear space and do not cross the fire trail.

Encounter 3 / 3 · Scarlet Monastery
Commander Durand & High Inquisitor Whitemane
Mass Resurrection: Reserve an interrupt for Mass Resurrection, which would revive fallen Judicators. Do not confuse it with Durand's scripted resurrection. When both are fighting, the tank picks them up and DPS focus Whitemane. Dashing Strike: Keep clear of Durand's dash lines toward other players. Flash of Steel still hits selected targets, so the healer handles that burst damage. Once Whitemane joins, keep the priority interrupt available for Mass Resurrection.
