||
| + | '''Atramedes''' the Blind Dragon is a boss of [[Blackwing Descent]] raid instance. The world first heroic kill was by Method (25 player) on 27 December 2010. |
||
| + | ==Abilities== |
||
| − | '''Akama''' is a level 70 Elite [[Broken draenei]] located at [[Warden's Cage]] in [[Shadowmoon Valley]]. He is the leader of both the [[Ashtongue tribe]] and the elite of said tribe called [[Ashtongue Deathsworn]], a faction of Broken draenei ''supposedly'' in the service of {{npc||Illidan Stormrage}}. He was an [[Draenei Elder Sage|elder sage]] of a group of [[Broken draenei]] that resided in the wilderness of [[Outland]]. Offered a chance at revenge against the [[orc]]s who decimated his people by the [[night elf]]/[[demon]] hybrid Illidan Stormrage, Akama allied himself with Illidan the Betrayer and aided in the overthrow of {{npc||Magtheridon}}, only to later find that Illidan was no better than the [[pit lord]]. To all outward appearances, Akama remains a loyal servant of Illidan and leads his Ashtongue Deathsworn in his service — but away from his prying eyes, Akama sought to end Illidan's reign. |
||
| + | You will have a 'sound bar' in this encounter. If it hits 100 Atramedes will gain aggro on you! (And kill you, yes even if you are the tank.) |
||
| − | Allying with {{npc||Maiev Shadowsong}}, whom he had been charged with keeping imprisoned, Akama rallied a group of adventurers to enter the [[Black Temple]], leading up to the final battle with Illidan himself — the battle that ended the Betrayer's life. With Illidan gone, Akama hopes that the [[Light|Holy Light]] will fill the dismal halls of the Temple once more... |
||
| + | Thwack one of the ancient dwarven shields around the room to cause Vertigo to Atramedes. This resets everyone's sound to zero. He will destroy it when he recovers. |

||
| − | [[Image:BTNDranaiAkama.png|left]] |
||
| − | Akama is a kind but hardened [[Broken draenei]] who was once the guardian of the [[Black Temple|Temple of Karabor]]. When the orcs enslaved by the [[Burning Legion]] descended upon the Temple, Akama took charge of evacuating as many civilians as possible and then went into hiding with the remnants of the [[draenei]]. In the short story [[Unbroken (story)|''Unbroken'']], he fled from the Temple to [[Shattrath City]] before going into [[Zangarmarsh|hiding]], where he was the most exposed of the refugees to the [[fel]] energies that caused some draenei to mutate. After the cataclysm and the shattering of [[Draenor]], Akama, now an [[Draenei Elder Sage|elder sage]] of the Broken draenei survivors, was forced into the open where he fought a losing battle against the pit lord Magtheridon and his army of demons and [[fel orc]]s. |
||
| + | ''Ground Phase'' 80 seconds. |
||
| − | Akama found himself aided by {{NPC||Kael'thas Sunstrider}} and {{NPC||Lady Vashj}}, a [[blood elf]] and [[naga]] who had come from [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]] to escape the clutches of [[human]] captors. Hoping to gain allies in the fight against Magtheridon, Kael'thas and Vashj destroyed the base of the fel orc who had been raiding Akama's makeshift outpost. Akama pledged his loyalty to [[Illidan]] and aided them by attacking a larger [[orc]]ish base, keeping the enemy occupied and away from Kael'thas and Illidan as the two closed the [[dimensional gateway]]s — which were supplying constant reinforcements to Magtheridon. After that battle, the time had come to lay [[Lord of Outland|siege]] to Magtheridon's [[Black Citadel (WC3)|Black Citadel]] itself. |
||
| + | Atramedes does ''not'' have a rear attack. Standing in its tail is safe. |
||
| − | Akama pledged allegiance to Illidan, craving vengeance on the orcs and demons who had corrupted and slaughtered his race, however, since this moment he begun planning his [[#Akama in World of Warcraft|inevitable conflict]] with Illidan.<ref>http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/wowminis/en/news/default.aspx?aid=4713</ref> Using his [[stealth]] abilities, Akama and a band of his followers snuck into Black Temple and destroyed the magical energy generators which sustained the defenses of the citadel, and then aided Illidan, Kael, and Vashj in the final attack against Magtheridon himself. |

||
| − | When [[Kil'jaeden]] appeared and ordered Illidan to destroy the [[Frozen Throne]], Illidan, Kael, and Vashj went as ordered, while Akama remained in [[Outland]] to guard their holdings. |

These flames are also spawned in the path the Roaring Flame Breath takes while following its target, as well as in the path the Breath takes shifting from its target to the Shield that was rang.|id=78023|image=spell fire flameshock|}} |
||
| + | ==Strategy== |
||
| − | Akama can be found in front of Maiev Shadowsong's cell in [[Warden's Cage]] in [[Shadowmoon Valley]]. In order to reach him, you must enter into the underground portion of Warden's Cage and look to your right at what appears to be just a pool of water. Swim into and under the pool and you will reach Maiev's cell where Akama is standing guard. |
||
| + | This encounter revolves around the Sound Bar mechanic. All of Atramedes' abilities cause their target's sound bar to increase, and when 100% sound is reached Atramedes will gain aggro on the target and hideously mangle and crush them. Atramedes will target the highest sound player with his abilities and follow them faster if their sound is higher. |
||
| + | There are 10 'gongs' around the room that can be interacted with, using them will reset every raid member's sound to zero and stun Atramedes for 5 seconds. However when they are used Atramedes will become extremely upset with them and burn them to ash, so they can only be used once each. |
||
| − | After an introductory quest chain, in which players have to prove that they are not allied with Illidan, they are sent to speak with Akama. He explains that it is best for his people to continue to appear to serve Illidan until certain omens are fulfilled. He then gives a quest to speak with {{NPC||Sage Udalo}} who is being held prisoner in [[Arcatraz]], a satellite of [[Tempest Keep]]. Udalo is dead, but has left a clue behind for the next quest. |
||
| + | ==Loot== |
||
| − | On returning from Arcatraz, Akama gives a quest to retrieve the {{loot|common|Heart of Fury}}, one of the shards of the [[Ata'mal Crystal]], from [[Ata'mal Terrace]] in Shadowmoon Valley. When this is completed, Akama sends the party to meet a [[naaru]], {{NPC||A'dal}}, in [[Shattrath City]]. |

| − | {{NPC||Shade of Akama}}, the portion of Akama's soul tied to Illidan's will, is a boss in [[Black Temple]]. During the final confrontation with Illidan, Akama himself will assist you in battle, although he cannot be killed. Akama leaves the battle during the first phase and is not seen again for the remainder of the battle; however, Maiev Shadowsong arrives for the final phase and remains until Illidan's death. Akama had freed Maiev from her prison cell and led her into the Temple with the aid of players seeking to obtain the {{loot|epic|Medallion of Karabor}} that allows entry into the Temple. After Illidan is defeated, Akama swears to fill the halls of the Black Temple with Light once again.<ref>[[Illidan Stormrage (tactics)#Quotes|Akama says]]: "The Light will fill these dismal halls once again. I swear it."</ref> |

| − | == Notes == |
||
| − | [[Image:Akama.jpg|thumb|Akama in [[Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne]].]] |
||
| − | *His name is possibly a pun, as the draenei in Warcraft III fought with sickle-like weapons that may be called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kama_%28weapon%29 ''kamas''], so he used ''a kama''. In Warcraft III, he uses both the sickle-like weapon and another blade, and in World of Warcraft he uses two of the sickle-like weapons, making this likely. He still uses this type of weapon in World of Warcraft, and the same type of weapon can be seen on draenei banners. |
||
| − | *Some fans speculate that the draenei child featured in the Black Temple trailer is Akama's daughter, and that the child's mother, who was killed by an orc, was his wife. |
||
| − | *Akama used the original draenei model, now the [[Lost One]] model, in his Warcraft III appearance. It seems that his appearance has been [[retcon]]ned as opposed to multiple mutations. However his current model is a hybrid between Lost One and Broken features, he retains the mouth of a Lost One. Furthermore, like the untainted [[draenei]], his feet are still cloven. |
||
| − | *When one sees Akama in World of Warcraft, it is clear he does not quite look like his fellow Broken draenei nor the Lost One draenei. Instead, he looks half way between a Broken draenei and Lost One as seen by his strange face and the basket he carries on his back which many Lost Ones also use. In the story "[[Unbroken (story)|Unbroken]]", Akama was said to have taken in a larger amount of the fel energy that caused the draenei to mutate into the Broken draenei, which may explain his appearance. |
||
| − | *Akama can be spotted with his Warcraft III appearance in the backround of the art piece [http://www.wowpedia.com/File:Illidari_Leaders.jpg "Foes of Outland"] by [[Wei Wang]]. |
||
| − | *His quote "At my age, you see death everywhere. DEATH!", is a reference to the Simpsons. |
||
| − | *As of Cataclysm Akama and Maiev will appear on the loading screen for Outland. |
||
| − | *Akama is the last surviving lieutenant of [[Illidari|Illidan's Forces]], although he is no longer a member of it. |

Atramedes the Blind Dragon is a boss of Blackwing Descent raid instance. The world first heroic kill was by Method (25 player) on 27 December 2010.
Abilities
You will have a 'sound bar' in this encounter. If it hits 100 Atramedes will gain aggro on you! (And kill you, yes even if you are the tank.)
Thwack one of the ancient dwarven shields around the room to cause Vertigo to Atramedes. This resets everyone's sound to zero. He will destroy it when he recovers.
Vertigo — The Resonating Clash has sent the target into a state of Vertigo, increasing damage taken by 50% for 5 sec.
Ground Phase 80 seconds.
Atramedes does not have a rear attack. Standing in its tail is safe.
- Sonic Breath — Cast at the highest sound player. Does 15,000 damage per second and adds 20 sound per second. Follows the player faster the higher their sound is.
- Searing Flame — The blindly aimed flames inflict 15062 to 15438 Fire damage every 1 sec and increases Fire damage taken by 25% per stack. Applied 8 times over 8 seconds. Interrupt this with Vertigo. This is cast once per ground phase.
- Modulation — The Blind Dragon begins to Modulate, increasing the Sound of all enemies by 7 and inflicting 39000 to 41000 Shadow damage. Damage increased by your sound bar.
- Sonar Pulse — Sends discs of sonic energy flying around the room. If touched inflicts 5850 to 6150 Arcane damage and adds 7 sound.
Air Phase 40 seconds.
- Roaring Flame Breath — Cast at the highest sound player. Does 15,000 damage per second and adds 20 sound per second. Follows the player faster the higher their sound is. This time it keeps speeding up, and you may want to use a shield to stop it. After the vertigo he will follow the player who hit the shield.
- Sonar Bomb — The Sonar Bomb inflicts 30000 Arcane damage to enemies within 8 yards and allows Atramedes to hear the targets more easily! Adds 30 sound.
- Sonic Fireball — 29250 to 30750 Fire damage to enemies within 6 yards of the impact.
- Roaring Flames — Atramedes scatters flame patches across the room. The Reverberating Flames inflict 14625 to 15375 Fire damage and an additional 7800 to 8200 Fire damage every 1 sec for 4 sec. Additionally the Reverberating Flames increase sound by five. These flames are also spawned in the path the Roaring Flame Breath takes while following its target, as well as in the path the Breath takes shifting from its target to the Shield that was rang.
Strategy
This encounter revolves around the Sound Bar mechanic. All of Atramedes' abilities cause their target's sound bar to increase, and when 100% sound is reached Atramedes will gain aggro on the target and hideously mangle and crush them. Atramedes will target the highest sound player with his abilities and follow them faster if their sound is higher.
There are 10 'gongs' around the room that can be interacted with, using them will reset every raid member's sound to zero and stun Atramedes for 5 seconds. However when they are used Atramedes will become extremely upset with them and burn them to ash, so they can only be used once each.
