Magmus can be found in the large hallway leading into the Emperor's room.

Feel like farming Large Brilliant Shards? Magmus can be easily solo'd by a mage with points in Magic Absorbtion. The golems' Fire AoE ticks each second providing virtually infinite mana, just spame Mana Shield and Arcane Explosion in between and you got your self a shard.

Easy soloed as a 70 feral druid all golem fire was resisted xD

Comment by katay

If you do find yourself soloing Magmus as a 70 rogue, wait until after his warstomp to blow all your timers.

Beware! The doors close when the battle starts.

Magmus is easy enough, just make sure to watch out for the fire (it kills you fast). There isn't a place safe from the fire, even though it looks like there might be in the middle.

Also, THE FIRE DOESN'T STOP WHEN YOU KILL MAGMUS. You'll have to avoid it from the time you begin the battle to the time you exit the room.

Comment by Auben

Not immune, but highly resistant to fire.

Magmus sounds like a 70 elite but not a 56 ;P

Comment by Samad

Are Magmus and Bael'gaer twins or something?

Comment by 35800

Immune to fire. Just killed him on my firemage and I did get *Immune*. You'd get "resist" and not "immune" if he was highly resistant.

Comment by qhiiyr

To get to Magmus, you'll need to get two shadowforge torches from the nearby Shadowforge Flame Keepers, and use them on the two braziers in that room to open the doors.

Tips for relic collectors!

If you're a shaman or paladin and you're looking to add to your collection of Totems/Librams then you'll want to farm this boss. There's a hard way to do it or an easy way, since he's near the back of BRD. The hard way is to go all the way through the instance and going through the tavern and doing the Chest of Seven event. The easy way involves a one-way shortcut that involves either killing yourself to get out of or getting a friend to make a raid group and running into Molten Core and running back out in order to reset the instance.

Here's the easy way to do it:

1) First, make sure you have the Shadowforge Key. If you don't have it then kill yourself in the Blackrock Mountain area and talk to the ghost NPC in the center tomb in Blackrock Mountain. Complete his questline in BRD and you'll get the key.

2) Starting at the entrance of the instance, go through the first three locked doors and take a left before the Ring of Law. If you aggro anything just keep running. When you get to the end of the hall jump through the window into the area below and run straight ahead towards Incendius. Jumping throug the window and jumping below Incendious will cause any mob aggro to drop after about 30 seconds because they can't path to where you are.

3) When you get to Incendious, drop into the lava river below and head north along the left wall until you can't go any further. Jump the whole way as you can avoid some lava damage.

4) When you can't go any farther you'll be on an incline. With your back to the wall, look straight out to find and island near the left wall. Heal up and jump through the lava to this island. You may aggro a Fireguard Destroyer along the way so you may want to double back to your safe spot and kill it. Once you get used to the path you'll work your way to the island before you even get to the incline as you should be able to survive a full trip to the island.

5) Once on the island, heal up and again stay on the left wall until you're on dry land again next to the Black Forge (it's where the lava river is a steep incline which you can't run up.)

6) Now that you've skipped 90% of the instance, head up the ram on the right wall to avoid Fireguard Destroyers. Use the Shadowforge Key on the door to the right to reach the Lyceum.

7) Seek and destroy two Shadowguard Flame Keepers and take their torches. Use them on the braziers in the back of the room while avoiding all of the other dwarves. These dwarves have a 1 minute spawn timer and a pitiful amount of health so use any AOE you have. (Any shaman can cast Stoneclaw Totem and then cast Fire Nova Totem to wipe the group and elementals will use Thunder. Any paladin can use Concencration and Retribution Aura and stand there and they'll just die.) Note that the only mobs in this room that drop loot are the two Fireguard Destroyers and the Flame Keepers. Also note that the torches have a 5 minute duration so you need to make a run to light the torches. A final note is that only one Flame Keeper will spawn at any time, but once you kill one another will instantly spawn somewhere else.

8) Once you've lit both torches the door to the east will open. While still avoiding mobs, go through the door at Magmus.

9) Kill Magmus. He's easy to kill at 80 and doesn't do much damage to an 80 so he's a really good mob to level up weapon skills if you feel so inclined.

10) Got your relic?

=> Yes: Hearth out.

=> No: Go into the next room and aggro the Emperor. This will aggro the whole room. Just sit there and die. Corspe run and reset the instance on the way back since you're now outside of the instance. Sell the blues later to get some of your money back from the repair bill.

Downed this 2-man (53 prot paladin/53 enh shaman). Learned a few things of interest:

Both fire damage from the statues and fire damage from Magmus' fiery burst ability is subject to resists. Fire resist aura/totem is a great help here!

Fiery burst and war stomp seem to affect a rather short range AoE. I would guess 10 yards or less.

There ARE safe spots on the floor! If you look at Magmus you'll see that he's standing on an "X" formed by the pattern on the floor. If you stand at the end of either arm of the X to the left or right and just in front of Magmus, you'll be safe. But I recommend practicing on the X outside of his aggro range just to get the exact position down.

Your healer can stand on a safe spot on a different "row" (in other words, on the other side of a set of golems) and still be in range to heal the tank standing on his safe spot.

...Is also a hero in HoN.

Anyone else thinking LOTR here? This boss fight and the area before it remind me so much of the Mines of Moria.

Comment by TheRealLink

The fire definitely continued during the fight for me. For everyone heading to the Emperor after this, keep in mind the flames will still be cycling upon your way out.

Emperor Thaurissan does not wish to be disturbed! Turn back now or face your doom, weak mortals!

Comment by Thottbot

Comment by Thottbot

were is he i cant find him?

Comment by Thottbot

Magmus, soloable at level 70 basicly as any class, huge and slow damage hits (400-600ish on clothie) and does a fire blast. As a 70 full fire spec mage i died attempting.

Immunities;
Fire
Stun
Snare
Root

Effective;
Frost
Arcane
Attack Speed Decreasing Effects

He is past the 7 dwarf kings and through the door before the entrence to molten core, go straight after defeating the 7 dwarfs, or you can take the shortcut to the black forge, and go through a room with alot of non-elite guys. These groups are very easy to kill with aoe or quick direct damage attacks(one blast wave or dragons' breath kills them all 1 shot) in the center are 2 red dwarfs that drop torches, you need to kill both and get both torches. Then head to the back of the huge room either avoiding or killing all the groups of mobs on the way and place the torches on the 2 pedestals lighting the fires so the doors open.

Once through the doors the boss magmus will be right in front of you, no adds, no special creature summons, only 1 special blast as i mentioned earlier. The only trick is that the side statues come alive shooting fire and with alot of fire resist or fire absorb it doesnt matter because you can also just stand between the 3 sets of streams and not get touched.

Comment by Thottbot

That was the most easy stuff ever, he didnt even get me past 95% hehe, and im a rogue

Comment by Thottbot

Comment by Allakhazam

Ty psy, just a question, is it possible for a druid sneak pass the mobs in Lycaeum and light the flame by himself?

Comment by Allakhazam

Really easy to farm him.

Did over 10 runs with just a 60 Mage and Myself(Shaman, 30-0-21) in order to get the new Relic. The runs took about 20 minutes a piece in and out.

The easiest way to get to him:

Zone in and make a left, through the gate. Take a right through the other gate, then a quick left through the door. Have the Shaman(or paladin) just run up the stairs and to the left, with the mage following behind. Just run through all the mobs and jump out the window. Watch out for the guards at the bottom. Run towards Incendius then jump off the bridge to the left. (you can kill him if you want, but not required)

Hug the wall along side of the lava and walk towards the far wall. Stop on the little cliff there and look for the elemental in the lava. Find him and kill your first mob!

Swim across the lava and stop at edge of the island with the 4-5 elementals. Heal up then make a left and hug the wall again til you get to safety(near the black forge)

Now to sneak past the 3 elementals on top of the little bridge there. If the rightmost mob is lvl 56 he will aggro you. You'll have to have the mage naked run through him and pull them over to the left, while the shaman follows behind and gets to safety while still being able to res the mage. If the mob is level 55 or less then you can both just hug the wall to the right and make it past.

On to the Lycaeum. Just do this like normal, find the torch holders and light the flames. A good resting spot is on top of the flame stand farthest away from the corner of the room. Light both flames and head to magmus

Magmus. Have the mage stand away from Magmus and the golems, just DPS burst him down. Shaman open up with LB/LB/CL/ES then tank(ES and RB) and heal himself.

When you don't see your relic drop then get naked and death run it back. Reset instance and repeat. I think it took me 10 tries to get the relic. 4 or 5 Golem helms dropped lol.

Think it is the Firegigant in the hall before the Emperor. Where walls belch fire.
Looks like they made the golemskull helm a bit harder to get.
(Read: Moved it from the bar to the second last room in the instance)

Comment by Allakhazam

So just run like hell to the window, jump. Kill whoever is there. Jump. Sneak. Kill elemental. Swim. Sneak. Kill lycaeum and then gogo magmus!

NP!

Comment by Allakhazam
