These fields are not cleansable by Hylek Turrets and will damage the turrets. These circles are similar in appearance to the AoE created by Tequatl's Fingers with clouds of poison, but have a blacker coloring and are larger. Despite having poison in the name, they do not apply the poisoned condition. Poison Pool - Tequatl lifts its front-right foot and summons multiple area of effect fields that pulse every 1 second over 6 seconds, dealing damage and inflicting Crippled for 10 seconds with each pulse.Players controlling the Hylek Turrets can use the skill #2 Scale Penetration to remove one stack of Hardened Scales per shot.Tequatl is invulnerable until the walls are destroyed.

Hardened Scales - Tequatl's scales harden over time.If the event completes successfully, Tequatl will crash instead, causing it to take increased damage for a period of time. Each time Tequatl lands it can lose up to 25% of its maximum health. Each time the event Defend the Megalaser and the batteries in the east, west, and north ends, Tequatl lands and is able to be damaged.Although uncertain, it is likely that Tequatl was canonically dead by this point, with at least Rox and Rytlock believing Tequatl to be dead.Įvent involvement Defeat Tequatl the Sunless (65) Defend the Megalaser and the batteries in the east, west, and north (65) Combat abilities Behavior After a fierce battle, Tequatl was eventually defeated, a shard of its tail falling to the ground alongside a fang, fragments of its bones and an eye. Rox, with the aid of the asura of the United Arcanist Lab, the quaggans of Brooloonu, the sylvari of Caer Brier and the Vigil stationed in the area, began to attack Tequatl. After Zhaitan's death, Tequatl became Unchained and grew in power, seemingly attempting to replace Zhaitan as an Elder Dragon.Īround this time, Tequatl's evolution was noticed by the Blood Legion tribune Rytlock Brimstone, who sent the gladium Rox to attack Tequatl and bring back its tail as proof. Warmaster Narru was dispatched by General Almorra Soulkeeper to investigate the reports, theorizing that it may have been a response to the Pact offensive in Orr. As such, it had become more difficult to fight. In 1326 AE, Vigil tacticians reported that Tequatl seemed to have " evolved" and its attacks had become more elaborate as it learned from each encounter with the order. Local Vigil and hylek banded together to drive off the beast, successfully causing it to retreat it off but not killing it and it would return shortly after being driven away. It also polluted local waters, with elders fondly telling tales of the clean water to younger hylek. Sometime in recent years, it began to menace the Splintered Coast, an inlet of the Sea of Sorrows, where it drove out local hylek tribes, scattering them and causing some to join orders such as the Vigil and others to move to the Zintl Holy Grounds, a village where many hylek of different tribes gathered together. It was imbued with much more of Zhaitan's energy than a typical dragon minion would, resulting in its status as a champion of Zhaitan. At some point in time, Tequatl the Sunless likely died and was corrupted by the Elder Dragon Zhaitan, though it is possible, though unlikely, that Tequatl was still living when corrupted.
