Defeat Tequatl the Sunless is a level 65 group event that occurs on the Splintered Coast in Sparkfly Fen. The event begins with Tequatl the Sunless flying out of the water, eventually landing in front of the player and beginning combat. Though considered one of the smaller dragons, Tequatl is not alone and the fight occurs with dangerous minions summoned to attack the players as well. Players themselves have access to numerous Hylek Turrets and are backed by the formidable Vigil Megalaser.

Walkthrough[edit]

The event has a 15:00 minute time limit and is split into two distinct and repeating phases:

Defense phase[edit]

The defense phase occurs at 75%, 50%, and 25% of Tequatl's health and pauses the 15:00 main timer for its duration. Players need to split to defend the 4 objectives. Launch Pads can be used by players to quickly move between the Vigil Megalaser and the three batteries. The diamond on each launch pad shows the direction you will be launched. The Megalaser and batteries are attacked as follows:

  • Megalaser - Any surviving Risen from the attack phase will stop what they're doing and immediately move to attack the Megalaser. Additional waves of Risen spawn just northwest and northeast of the Megalaser, from the directions of the North and East batteries. A Champion Risen Krait Hypnosses spawns up to two times from the direction of the north set of Hylek Turrets.
  • West battery - Waves of Risen krait periodically spawn at the edges of the rock. Tequatl's Fingers are also periodically summoned and throw poison at the battery.
  • North battery - Waves of Risen hylek and quaggans periodically spawn around the edges of the area. Additionally, multiple grub holes are placed around the battery. If left unattended, these grub holes will spawn Risen Grubs. Players can interact with grub holes to stomp them; however, the grub holes will respawn after some time.
  • East battery - Waves of Risen will periodically spawn. Additionally, four Plague Carrier Abominations will spawn in waves at different fixed locations and walk towards the battery. They will explode and leave a highly damaging AoE field on the battery if not killed.

To succeed, the three batteries and the Megalaser must be defended from attacking Risen for 2 minutes. Failure of this event fails the entire fight, as Tequatl wipes the beach with a giant tidal wave. If the event succeeds, the Vigil shoots Tequatl with the Megalaser, and an attack phase begins. Tequatl is stunned for approximately 30 seconds and takes 5 times more damage.

Attack phase[edit]

Tequatl attacks players with several abilities and skills. One of its most dangerous attacks is a foot stomp that creates waves, these waves should be jumped over to avoid damage and launch. Players should gather around one of Tequatl's front legs and attack it. Tequatl periodically gains stacks of Hardened Scales.png Hardened Scales. At 20 stacks, Tequatl summons a bone wall and becomes invulnerable until the wall is destroyed. The hylek turrets can prevent or delay this, as explained in the next section. At 75% health, Tequatl will start using vortexes to pull players underwater. Players caught by this attack are teleported to Watery Grave and should swim towards the light, back to the surface.

Risen periodically spawn in four fixed locations around the event area beginning at 14:00 minutes on the timer and every 90 seconds after that (the times are 14:00, 12:30, 11:00, 9:30, 8:00, 6:30, 5:00, 3:30, 2:00, 0:30.) Three of these groups will immediately charge the nearby Hylek Turrets, while one of the groups will charge towards Tequatl. If not engaged and defeated, these enemies will destroy the turrets.

Defeated should revive at the quaggan village waypoint Waypoint (map icon).png Brooloonu Waypoint — .

Hylek turrets[edit]

There are three Hylek Turrets on the beach that can be controlled by players. While they aren't mandatory, they can make the fight easier. The turret's skills  Hylek Salve.png Hylek Salve (skill 4) and  Hylek Elixir.png Hylek Elixir (skill 5) provide boons to players in the target area.  Poison Cleanse.png Poison Cleanse (skill 3) cleanses the target area of puddles of poison created by Tequatl's Fingers.  Scale Penetration.png Scale Penetration (skill 2) can be fired at Tequatl to remove one stack of Hardened Scales.png Hardened Scales.

If the turrets are damaged, the nearby Box of Repair Hammers provides Repair Hammers to repair the turrets.

Notes[edit]

Bug Bugs:
  • Foes are not supposed to drop loot. However, Risen Grubs that spawn at the northern battery and Risen summoned by Risen Krait Hypnosses will all drop loot.
  • Sometimes Risen Land Mines won't despawn when the event restarts.
Anomaly:
As of May 20, 2014, the Vigil Megalaser currently fires out of sync before Tequatl is shot, but it will still damage Tequatl.
  • If this event fails, the Splintered Coast will visually become darker, miasma will settle upon the whole area, and Risen Land Mines will clutter up the landscape until Tequatl returns.
  • This event does not have any prerequisite events despite being part of a meta event.
  • Players can prepare for the event ahead of time by learning how to use the Hylek Turrets and launch pads while waiting for it to begin.
