'''Nifflevar Bearded Axe''' is a rare [[archaeology]] artifact that requires 375 skill to find and 130 [[Vrykul Archaeology Fragment]]s to solve. Up to three [[Vrykul Rune Stick]] [[keystone]]s may be used to complete it.
'''Prince Taldaram''', a [[darkfallen]], is the second boss found in [[Ahn'kahet]].
 
   
== To Summon ==
+
==Description==
  +
The one and only rare Vrykul archaeology find, this [[Bind to Account]] axe has the [[item level]] equivalent of normal 25-man [[Ulduar (instance)|Ulduar]] loot.
In order to engage Prince Taldaram, his force shield must be deactivated. Before reaching his platform, there are two smaller platforms, each with four mobs and a crystal orb. To reach the platforms there is a spider-web bridge which can be difficult to spot if it's your first time in the instance. Kill the mobs and click the orbs. Once both have been clicked, the force shield around the platform nearby will disappear. The party should then go to the platform and engage the boss.

'''Flame Sphere''' - 3 second cast time - Taldaram summons a large, fiery orb over his head, which is then fired in the direction of a player, traveling to the edge of his platform. The orb will shoot small 'beams' of fire towards any players near it as it flies, doing moderate fire damage. (Effectively, this acts like an AOE cone attack centered on one player.) The group should spread out around the boss to minimize damage.

== Notes ==
'''Vampiric Drain''' - Throughout the fight, Taldaram will emote and then vanish (much like [[Moroes]] in [[Karazhan]]). He will reappear a few seconds later next to a random player, who will be stunned while Taldaram drains health from them. This does approximately 1500 Shadow damage every two seconds, but you can heal the affected player normally. To break the effect, 35-40k damage must be dealt to the boss. It is helpful to have the group collapse together when Taldaram vanishes, so that DPS can start on him immediately.

'''Flame Sphere''' - Now shoots three spheres in an arc covering about a third of the platform. Increased damage.
 
   
 
==External links==
'''Vampiric Drain''' - Similar effect, but now also reduces healing on the affected (stunned) player by 100%. Immunity effects such as [[Ice Block]] and [[Divine Shield]] are also ineffective. 'Shield' effects such as a Priest's [[Power Word: Shield]] do work.

'''Strategy''' - Have the tank tank him at either extreme side (far or near) of his platform. This way, when he casts Flame Sphere, the entire group can stay together, and run towards the opposite extreme side of his platform. This allows you to only have to dodge two balls, as opposed to three. DPS the boss as quickly as possible when he starts Draining a player. If you bring him from side to side of his platform, then the Flame Spheres are quite easy to overcome, even in heroic.

Inv axe 97

Nifflevar Bearded Axe is a rare archaeology artifact that requires 375 skill to find and 130 Vrykul Archaeology Fragments to solve. Up to three Trade archaeology vrykul runestick [Vrykul Rune Stick] keystones may be used to complete it.

Description

The one and only rare Vrykul archaeology find, this Bind to Account axe has the item level equivalent of normal 25-man Ulduar loot.

History

Unsolved

This axe's blade is asymetrical, with a long cutting edge. You suspect it might retain its magic if you could reassemble it.

Solved

Many of the axes forged by the vrykul display an unusual style: the bottom edge of the axe blade extends down below the width of the butt. This style increases cutting area while minimizing weight; it can be used on both weapon and tools. Some dwarven axes show a similar construction.

Notes

The 'beard' of an axe is the part of the 'bit' (cutting edge) that hangs down below the 'head' (the part of the axe connecting the bit to the haft). Bearded axes have exaggerated 'beards'.
