Walkthrough[edit]
Volatile Bloodstone Elementals spawn throughout the fight, exploding after death, causing knockback and dropping an Unstable Bloodstone Fragment.
Starting at 66% health, and about every 40 seconds after, Manikaz summons spectral clones and bombard the area (shown as faint orange circles), which can quickly down players that stand in the overlaps and get hit by multiple attacks. Ghostly indicators appear in a circle around the arena a couple seconds before the attack.
Starting at 33% health, and afterwards at the same time as the bombardment attack, three dangerous circles rotate around the room for 10 seconds inflicting Unstable Magic effects (
).
Upon reaching 33% and 10% health, a 30 second timer starts (shown by the Bloodstone Energy Siphoned bar), the champion becomes untargetable, and a wave of bloodstone elementals spawns. Small orbs appear that can be picked up to gain 
Sanguine Ward, which will shield the player from Manikaz' deadly attack at the end of the timer. This attack covers most of the room, but can also easily be avoided by moving outside the ring of pillars.
After the 10% intermission, the champion gains 
Enraged for the final phase, dealing double damage.

Dialogue[edit]
- Before Entering the Forge of the Blood Phenom
- Ward Protector Surepaw: Air is heavy with magic. Someone or somethin' is using activated bloodstone.
- Priory Scholar Ciana: There's no doubt. This is the source of the disturbances.
- Ward Protector Timsdottir: Quiet!
- Upon Event Start
- Manikaz: An audience? Come to watch as my sojourn amongst the dead reaches its inevitable conclusion?
- Priory Scholar Ciana: Fascinating. The source of our ghost problem...is another ghost.
- Manikaz: Not just any ghost, louse. I am Manikaz, the Blood Phenom, prodigal son of—oh, a familiar face!
- Ward Protector Surepaw: You know this guy, Wayfinder?
- <Character Name>: Unfortunately.
- Ward Protector Timsdottir: Don't care who you are. Step away from the bloodstone; this is your only warning!
- Manikaz: (laughs) Even now... Darda, Optimus, Lazarus. I hear their impertinent words, stifling me, holding me back.
- Manikaz: No more!
- Priory Scholar Ciana: Those incantations—ancient necromancy. He's trying to siphon life force to resurrect himself!
- Ward Protector Surepaw: Gonna be hard to stop it with this bloody behemoth swattin' us like flies.
- Ward Protector Timsdottir: Then we topple this thing first, double-time!
- Upon summoning spectral clones
- Manikaz: Perhaps I will improve my odds!
- Priory Scholar Ciana: Spectral clones! Watch where you step!
- Upon the Bloodstone Elemental Reaching 33% Health
- Priory Scholar Ciana He's pouring magic into the elemental!
- Ward Protector Timsdottir: It's spilling over! Wayfinder, collect it and shield yourself against his attacks.
- Manikaz: Like rats, scouring for crumbs!
- Upon the Bloodstone Elemental Reaching 10% Health
- Manikaz: I did not outlast the extinction of my people to be banished by these vermin!
- Upon Defeating the Bloodstone Elemental
- Ward Protector Timsdottir: Your construct is gone, mursaat. It's just you.
- Manikaz: Just? (chuckles) Oh, I think I am more than a match for a few sacrificial lambs.
- Ward Protector Surepaw: Yeah? What about them?
- Manikaz: What? Get your hands off of me, you insects, you—this will not be my end!
- Upon Event Completion
- Priory Scholar Ciana: Compared to that lunatic, I think I'm rather pleasant to work with.
- Ward Protector Surepaw: Uh-huh.
- Ward Protector Timsdottir: Sure, scholar. Just...try to prioritize our own safety in the future.
- Priory Scholar Ciana: Right... Point thoroughly made.
- Priory Scholar Ciana: For now, let's take a proper look around before we head back; a place like this is ripe for documentation.
- Upon Event Failure
- Manikaz: Hm... This bit of "fun" has cost me more than intended. No matter. There are plenty of other shards for me to siphon.
- Manikaz: Construct, be a dear and usher our guests to the afterlife.
- Ward Protector Timsdottir: The magic in that elemental is starting to surge—we need to go!
- Priory Scholar Ciana: But this lab—think of all we could learn!
- Ward Protector Timsdottir: Scholar! Portal! Now!
- Priory Scholar Ciana: Ah! I'm coming.
- Timer expires and team returns to camp
- Priory Scholar Ciana: I've a good deal of data now. Perhaps we should return to camp—I'll want you two rested for our next outing. Shall we?
