Molten Furnace Fractal
Explore the Molten Facility once again
This is the first part of the attack on the Molten Facility, you will be joined by Braham and Rox on this adventure
Starting Area/Tunnel
After chatting with Rox and Braham you will be attacked by a small group of Molten Alliance, after defeating them Rox will start the drill and you can enter the tunnel.
The drill will push through the tunnel opening up rooms on the sides, in the rooms will be small mobs of enemies, a mithril node, and a steam geyser, these can be closed with rocks (just attack them)
After the five rooms, at the end of the tunnel, you will have to face another small group of enemies, kill them and proceed to the steam walls. Watch for the steam to stop before trying to walk through.
Weapons Testing Facility
The last room is a fenced off area with a Thermal Core in the center - when you enter you will be closed in with no way to exit, there will be a few phases to this fight
Thermal Core 100% (Invulnerable) / Fireball Barrage - When the fight starts the Thermal Core will be unable to be hurt, but there will be fireballs raining down through the arena. There will also be champions that will fixate on random party members
Thermal Core 100% (Vulnerable) / Ground Shockwaves - When the core first becomes vulnerable it will be during the shockwaves, jump over these. Watch the hanging weights in the corners for the pattern - Southeast - Northwest - Northeast - Southwest
The core will be spraying fire around its perimeter switching sides every few seconds. These will repeat until you get the Thermal Core to 60%.
Thermal Core 60% (Invulnerable) /Fire Tornados - The next phase is Fire Tornados, these come from one side of the room at a time and shoot across the room, you will need to either dodge them, get into the space between the tornados, or reflect them to avoid taking damage and being knocked down. There will be another Champion that will fixate on a teammate.
Thermal Core 60% (Vulnerable) - Repeat of the vulnerable phase above
Thermal Core 20% (Vulnerable) / Full Monty - All of the weapons tests will happen at once, but the Thermal Core will remain vulnerable so burn it down to get to the next phase
Weapons Test Engineer - Once the Thermal Core reaches 0% the Engineer will arrive with two Sentinel Suits - kill these adds first.
He will shoot fire tornados at you that knock you back and cause burning. Every 25% he will burrow into the ground causing damage around him, and damage when he pops back up, he will also spawn a few more adds. once you kill him the Fractal is over!
