- Usually a Double Ice staff setup with Impulse for AoE Brittle would be the main option for Adds gear but you take so much damage on the adds between 1st and 2nd boss its much safer being able to go One Hand and Shield.
- Dragon’s Defilement always goes on the Main Tank because they are always in the middle of every add stack and you cannot physically taunt every add with Pierce Armor, often you only Inner Fire so Defiled Dragon + Razor Caltrops provides all the debuffs.

Rockgrove Notes
Tank Gear
Generally the best gear options are Yolnahkriin, Worm Cult and Encratis’s Behemoth. When you progress onto Hardmode you’ll want to have the Master 1H & Shield available and potentially a selection of Monster Sets to help you survive and something such as Bani’s Torment might be helpful also.
Class
The Dragonknight easily outperforms other classes for the Main Tank role here due to the buffs and debuffs they have access to and the sustain benefits. You can use virtually any class for none Hardmode. Sometimes a Necro Tank will work better during the Bahsei Hardmode fight.
Race
Pretty much any race is playable here. Imperial is a great choice and then Redguard works well for Necros especially. You could also use Nord for Resistances.
Mundus
The best Mundus Stone to use here is The Atronach for the extra Magicka Recovery.
Attributes
Typically 64 Health works best for this trial but it’s up to you to use whatever you need to survive and sustain.
Food
As standard we use the Bewitched Sugar Skulls which gives us Max Health, Magicka and Stamina plus more Health Recovery.
Potions
You can use regular Tri-Stat potions here, there are no special requirements.
