Learn how to defeat the Artifact Challenge encounter,
Zwillinge bezwingen
, as a Balance Druid. In this guide, we'll go over optimal talents, legendaries, gear, consumables, and spec-specific tips.
This guide is about the Legion version of the Mage Tower Challenge, that isn't accessible anymore.

The artifact appearance is a unique reward from completing a challenging solo scenario that can only be entered while the Mage Tower building is active on the Broken Shore. It rewards a unique artifact appearance, the Manascythe.

Preparation
There isn't much preparation you need to handle. Below you will find some recommendations, tips, and specific information regarding mechanics. It never hurts to see a video before you stepping into the zone. I recommend this video because it shows the proper way to handle the encounter, mistakes included.

Gear
For this scenario I would recommend having around an item level of 915, you can do it with less but may run into more difficulty. If you have an item level of 925 or higher, this encounter will be very easy. If your gear is below 900, you will have a difficult time keeping up with damage requirements. Having plenty of mastery will help as it is incredibly helpful for this scenario.
Consumables
I strongly recommend using a flask and a rune. If you're struggling in the last phase, use drums. You don't really need a food buff, but every little bit helps. "Broken Shore" buffs do not work because the instance is technically located in the Twisting Nether.
Trank der verlängerten Macht
Trommeln der Wut
Fläschchen des geflüsterten Pakts
Delikatessenplatte der Nachtgeborenen
or
Üppiges Festmahl von Suramar
Besudelte Verstärkungsrune
Talents
These talents aren't very flexible. I strongly recommend you take what is suggested below, especially
Seele des Waldes
,
Sternschnuppen
, and
Stellarverschiebung
.
The only flexible talents are
Phasenbestie
and
Taifun
. These can be exchanged with
Wilde Attacke
and
Massenumschlingung
, respectively.
Legendary Items
Sephuz' Geheimnis
is, by far, the best item for this scenario. It's easy to proc, and it provides a huge boost to burst damage. It doesn't get better than Sephuz's Secret.
Other legendary items are flexible, it does not matter. If you have the choice,
Oneths Intuition
is the next best item. After that, it's a toss-up between
Prydaz, Xavarics Magnum Opus
and
Makellose Teufelsessenz
.
Creatures
There are 6 NPCs in the challenge.
Raest Magusspeer
Karam Magusspeer
Schattenhafter Teufel
Schattenhaftes Rudiment
Hand aus den Weiten
Ausgeburt des Alptraums
The scenario's win condition is just that you defeat
Raest Magusspeer
. The encounter will not end until both
Raest Magusspeer
and
Karam Magusspeer
are defeated. But you will have fulfilled the requirements if you defeat Raest; and you will have earned your Artifact appearance too!
Raest Magusspeer
will channel
Ritual
and is immune to damage while
Karam Magusspeer
is actively chasing you.
Schattenhafte Energien
goes away during phase transitions and is removed in the final phase (Phase 3). While Raest is active, he will cast
Schattenblitz
at the player. This doesn't do much of anything and is easily countered by
Wiederherstellungsaffinität
.
Karam Magusspeer
will fixate to the player while he's active. Karam acts as the trigger for transitioning between the phases. When you knock Karam down to 33.3% health, he will cast
Fegefeuer
and start to heal over the next 35sec back up to roughly 70%. He will use
Fegefeuer
two times and each cast signals the start of the next phase. Karam may be crowd controlled, however, the duration of CC is reduced to that of PVP timers and diminishing returns.
Schattenhafter Teufel
and
Schattenhaftes Rudiment
are not very threatening, but don't let them hit you. These enemies should be cleaved down, but do not focus your effort on them. Your
Sternenregen
,
Sonnenfeuer
, and
Mondfeuer
will naturally rot them away.
Mondfeuer
should be cast on
Schattenhafter Teufel
, but not
Schattenhaftes Rudiment
.
Schattenhaftes Rudiment
have a smaller health pool and thus your time can be spent on other enemies.
Hand aus den Weiten
are very dangerous. These enemies spawn every 30sec and start to cast
Griff aus den Weiten
. You have two options here: Kill it before the cast finishes, or interrupt it with
Sonnenstrahl
. Always try to kill it without using your interrupt. These enemies can only be interrupted; stuns and knockbacks do not interrupt their cast.
Krieger der Elune
is very potent for
Hand aus den Weiten
. You should have plenty of
stacks to dump into this enemy.
Ausgeburt des Alptraums
is extremely dangerous and will cause you to fail the scenario if not handled properly. To properly handle this enemy, simply do your best to never need to fight them.
Raest Magusspeer
will cast
Beschwörungsrune
periodically. (It's a pink colored circle/rune.) Standing on the rune for approximately 2 seconds will cause this minor explosion, signalling the rune has been destroyed. You will not take damage from standing in
Beschwörungsrune
. To keep it simple, you're "soaking"
Beschwörungsrune
to prevent
Ausgeburt des Alptraums
from spawning. As for how dangerous this enemy is, it will hit you for about 1mil per hit, and it runs as fast as you.
Phase 1
"I... obey."
Raest Magusspeer
is immune to damage during this phase, and no adds will spawn. It's a duel against
Karam Magusspeer
. Use your
Himmlische Ausrichtung
to open. Use
Trank der verlängerten Macht
as soon as you hear Karam say, "I...obey." (Combat starts ~1sec after this chat message.)
After about 35-40sec of roleplaying,
Karam Magusspeer
starts to chase you. If he gets within range to auto-attack you, he will cast
Aufsteigender Drache
. You may use crowd control, such as
Taifun
, to create some space. Keep in mind that spammable CC, e.g.
Wucherwurzeln
, will last 8sec, and suffer from diminishing returns. (
Wucherwurzeln
will last 8sec on the first cast, 4sec on the next cast, 2sec on the cast thereafter).
Karam Magusspeer
will drop puddles underneath himself. These puddles do not deal damage, but they slow the player by a large amount. These puddles do not slow anything else in the encounter -- only the player may be slowed. These puddles do not despawn. A simple way to handle this mechanic is to simply kite Karam around the outside of the room, just be sure to bring him back before he reaches 33.3% Health.
This phase is completed when
Karam Magusspeer
uses
Fegefeuer
. This is cast when Karam reaches 33.3% Health. Karam will be immune to damage and heal back 36% of his total health over ~35sec.
Phase 2
"Once again I must clean up your mess, brother!"
This phase begins when
Karam Magusspeer
uses
Fegefeuer
for the first time.
Raest Magusspeer
will be targetable for a short time. Adds will spawn periodically throughout the phase as well.
While
Karam Magusspeer
is immune to damage,
Raest Magusspeer
engages the player.
Raest Magusspeer
will chain-cast
Schattenblitz
. (Do not interrupt
Schattenblitz
.) Raest will summon 3 packs of 5 enemies, all of which spawn
Schattenhafter Teufel
(1) and
Schattenhaftes Rudiment
(4). Your primary goal is to deal as much damage to
Raest Magusspeer
as you can before
Karam Magusspeer
finishes channeling
Fegefeuer
(~35sec, or after the 3rd pack of adds is spawned.) Don't worry about the small adds as they should passively die throughout the encounter before they reach you.
When
Karam Magusspeer
finishes channeling
Fegefeuer
,
Raest Magusspeer
becomes immune to damage again.
Karam Magusspeer
will periodically summon
Hand aus den Weiten
. As per the information above,
Hand aus den Weiten
will cast
Griff aus den Weiten
. You should always aim to burst these enemies down, but you should favor Starfall over Starsurge. Make use of
Stellarverschiebung
and hardcast while moving. It makes it much easier because
Karam Magusspeer
is still deadly if he reaches you.
Phase 2 is completed when
Karam Magusspeer
uses
Fegefeuer
. This is cast when Karam reaches 33.3% Health. Karam will be immune to damage and heal back 36% of his total health over ~35sec.
Phase 3
"Useless! Stand aside while I do what you cannot, brother."
Phase 3 is the same as Phase 2, except
Raest Magusspeer
will be targetable for the rest of the encounter and he will cast
Beschwörungsrune
periodically.
This is the final phase, so it's time to do as much damage to
Raest Magusspeer
while it's still easy. After the first pack of adds spawn, use your
Himmlische Ausrichtung
,
Trank der verlängerten Macht
, and
Trommeln der Wut
. Burn Raest has hard as you can.
Raest Magusspeer
will summon multiple packs of adds, each pack consisting of
Schattenhafter Teufel
(1) and
Schattenhaftes Rudiment
(4). Raest will create the first
Beschwörungsrune
after the first two packs of adds have spawned. Your primary goal is to deal as much damage to
Raest Magusspeer
as you can before
Karam Magusspeer
finishes channeling
Fegefeuer
(35sec or so).
Karam Magusspeer
will periodically summon
Hand aus den Weiten
.
Higher gear levels (925+) should be able to burn Raest without any issues. Lower gear levels will still be forced to deal with mechanics. It gets very hectic very fast. Keep calm and focus on soaking
Beschwörungsrune
. Defeat
Raest Magusspeer
first and you fulfill the requirements of the quest. Try to tune out the small adds and focus 100% on single target damage, the sooner
Raest Magusspeer
dies you win.
Tips and Tricks
Your first try is free. Retrying costs
Nethersplitter
x100 per attempt.
Sometimes it's a gear issue. It's okay if you need more Artifact Traits or a higher Item Level. It makes a huge difference.
Roleplay/Banter (Phase 1), takes about 35-40sec.
Mobs falling through the map/terrain is really jarring, I've noticed this is mostly due to rooting them.
Raest Magusspeer
Defeating Raest is the only condition for completing the quest objectives. You don't need to defeat
Karam Magusspeer
.
Karam Magusspeer
(Phase 1), kite around the outside of the room. Less puddles in the middle later on. Remember to bring him back before the Phase 2!
Hand aus den Weiten
(Phase 2, Phase 3), to prevent this enemy spawning out of your range, keep
Karam Magusspeer
near the middle. (
Hand aus den Weiten
uses Karam's location as a guide.)
Hand aus den Weiten
(Phase 2, Phase 3), you can survive
Griff aus den Weiten
with Barkskin or
Prydaz, Xavarics Magnum Opus
, but only just barely.
Karam Magusspeer
may gain the really silly ability to teleport to the player. If Karam doesn't have a path to you, he might teleport to you and kill you. Yes, it's happened to many of us.
Beschwörungsrune
(Phase 3) can be a little weird on timing. Be proactive and soak early. Use
Phasenbestie
to get there quickly.
