The Tarragrue
We advise you to use the following Legendary against The Tarragrue: Rage of the Frozen Champion.
Recommended Covenant:Necrolord/ Night Fae
Tips
- In order to engage this encounter you will need to kill the Infused Goliaths. When defeated they will drop an Anima Orb with 3 choices of powers. Once you have defeated all 4 Infused Goliaths the boss will spawn.
- When it comes to your choices, there is generally always a clear-cut option. Do not pick anything that can potentially have a negative impact on your group. Otherwise just pick up the DPS power that can be chosen.
