Heal, cure (RGC), buff(Str) is regular order.
Buff, heal, cure is the hard way.

The main tank won't get the hard way (thick skin) achievement while being main tank, so will need a different main tank for them to get achievement. Had to do this a couple times with different main tank to get it for usual main tank.

We have done this whole task in the tunnel about halfway in. AEs don't hit us.

Good luck!

We tried that order and failed, going to try it again and see if we get the achievement.

3. Stat buff - This needs to be a targetable buff that increases the 4 or 7 main stats (STR, STA, AGI, DEX, and possibly WIS, INT, CHA). Paladin buff Frenzied Strength (lvl 52) confirmed to have worked. No other stat buffs or beneficial buffs will work (tried: HP, AC, DS, levitation, poison, magic, disease, fire, cold, corrupt).


I confirmed what you said. I don't have a shaman but what I did was to use the beastlord hp buff and then to add a dex buff on top. That triggered the next stage for me.

This mission is a bit tricky. I haven't completed it so no official write-up yet, but here are some observations:

There seems to be 3 "phases" for this mission. They are started by a player. To start, you activate the first phase by casting a spell on Grakaw. Once a spell is cast on Grakaw, a hostile NPC spawns and attacks. Kill this NPC and then cast the next spell on Grakaw. Repeat this three times.

Each of the 3 phases requires a specific type of spell to be cast on Grakaw in order to activate each phase. Those spells are a 1. Heal, 2. Cure, 3. Stat Buff.
1. Heal - Any targetable heal or AoE (Paladin splash confirmed) will count and activate a phase.
2. Cure - A targetable cure seems to be required. Paladin splash did not work. Paladin spell Ardent Purity (lvl 101) worked (Cleanses the body of your target, curing severe diseases, poisons, and curses).
3. Stat buff - This needs to be a targetable buff that increases the 4 or 7 main stats (STR, STA, AGI, DEX, and possibly WIS, INT, CHA). Paladin buff Frenzied Strength (lvl 52) confirmed to have worked. No other stat buffs or beneficial buffs will work (tried: HP, AC, DS, levitation, poison, magic, disease, fire, cold, corrupt).

There is a "right" and "wrong" order to cast the spells on Grakaw. The order will make things harder or easier. The order listed above supposedly is the easier option. There are achievements associated with the orders.

The NPCs:
1. First one if activated via Heal is straight forward melee with some minor spell/aoe casts. A group in ToL T2/3 gear will have no trouble.
2. Second NPC if activated via Cure hits about the same as the first, but has some very strong spells towards the later 50%. They are no cure counters. There might be mechanics to avoid them. My group bruted our way through.
3. Third NPC is a gumdrop. This one will spawn adds. Can't confirm if HP or time based. We had about 3 or 4 adds while getting this NPC from 100% to 50% HP. At 50% HP, this NPC splits into two and continues spawning adds. We died at this point.

The event has a chance to reset between phases if the next spell is not cast on Grakaw within a certain amount of time. Not clear on the details.

Cure - Aria of Absolution (Bard)
Buff - Unity of the Vampyre (Shaman)
Heal - Lunar Balm (Ranger) (this spell has a cure component but will only count as a heal)
