9.1 - Wings of Aerus This is Kyros, he is actually very easy to kill using standard servant tactics unless he goes into "uber mode".  Sometimes you will see a message saying that he is growing in power and he proceeds to tear up the bommie to the tune of 500-900 a hit. Make sure you use DI2 here at least (or use DI1 twice) and the HoT.  I have had him down below 20% health and healed ONCE with my cleric and he started nuking her.   He doesn't nuke too hard, only in the 200s but it can still hurt.  Avoid healing with your bot as long as you can.   9.2 - Lachlen's Explorers   9.3 - Atlantis Warlords   9.4 - Kings of Aerus   9.5 - Scholars of Aerus   9.6 - Patrolling the City   9.7 - Uncontrolled Host Hardest part of this encounter is keeping all the aggro on your pet.  The snakes all spit poison (unlike the ones in Stygia) so its hard to tell sometimes which one is on your cleric.  Once you have aggro its an easy fight, standard servant tactics.  The Puissant Iaculus does not drop any loot, don't waste your time farming this trial, especially when you have....   9.8 - Guardians of the Phoenix Chan and his brothers!  Sweet sweet farming off of this trio, every time you kill them they drop 5 items of the quality shown on VoS for this trial.  The loot doesn't have fantastic utility but it all has some very nice ToA bonuses and looks sweet. So anyway on to the killing part... these guys are TOUGH.  You have to have some form of power regeneration for your cleric at least, you are going to be healing a lot.  My bot isn't even ML1 yet and I'll never see ML5 so I load her up with power potions, takes anywhere from 1-6 potions per fight depending on how often your heal proc goes off.  DI2 x2 makes this easier, here is what I do for the fights with no FoP: Pop DI2, wait 7-8 minutes to get close to DI repop, attack with pet.  HoT and DS up while burning DI2 DS up at all times.  Cleric heals me for about 20% each heal, so when the pet gets below 60% I heal twice.  Always have cleric sitting down when not casting.  NOTE:  Your necro will run out of power if you are constantly casting DS and HoT and have no power regeneration, these guys have too many HP.  I usually only use the HoT when I have DI going or when the cleric needs a little extra help. When the cleric is low on power I pop the second DI2, cleric sits to regen power.  Use HoT to ease the drain on DI and give cleric more time to regen. Continue as above, healing when needed, drink power potions as needed.  There is a 1 minute timer between potion usage. I had a minstrel and another cleric accompany me once (they were both mid 40s) and they made these kills cake.  I still used DI2 x2 on my bot but the other cleric easily kept up with the heals with the minstrel's power song 4 running. These guys repop after only a few minutes, farm away!   9.9 - Centaur's Patrol   9.10 - Rise of the Phoenix
