• --> Level 3
• Pop the BU when everyone is loaded.
• Run directly to the boss room and blow up the door using a keg from Budger Blackpowder.
• Kill any aggro that has followed you BEFORE you aggro Magmus.
• When the aggro is dead aggro Magmus.
• A few groups of Oozes will spawn, Kill these before killing Magmus or they will multiply making the dungeon difficult to complete.
• Once the Ooze are dead begin killing Magmus.

• --> At Magmus
• Maintain barbs on him, while doing so maintain your health and spear him.
• Once he reached 1/4 health he will turn non-hostile and return to the center where he spawned, and burst into 10 magma blisters. Kill these.
• Collect chest.
• Rinse and repeat.

Counters

Disconnects. Knockdowns from Skelk. Not attacking the same target on lvl 1 and 2.

Variants

<pvxbig> It is beneficial to have 1 member bring [[Ebon Battle Standard Of Wisdom] and 1 member to bring [[Ebon Battle Standard Of Honor] in place of [[Dwarven Stability]. Bringing [[I Am Unstoppable] in place of [[Dwarven Stability] is a good knockdown prevention if not using alcohol. Optional slots can contain anything but, [[Death's Charge], [[Fall Back] or [[Death's Retreat] are optimal. </pvxbig>
