This section of the Frost Mage guide provides tactics and advice on how to approach the artifact appearance challenge
Fiasco de los gemelos
added in patch 7.2. This guide is written and maintained by Malon, who raids with <Omen> on Emerald Dream EU; his lifelong ambition is to have the Warlock class renamed to 'Fuzzy Cuddlebears'. Find him on
Twitter
and at the
Altered Time
Mage forums.
This guide is about the Legion version of the Mage Tower Challenge, that isn't accessible anymore.

Frost Mage Challenge Appearance
Elite Magus is an appearance for
Ébano Glacial
, for which you need to complete a difficult solo scenario. You can only attempt this while the Mage Tower building is active in the Broken Shore area.
Frost - Elite Magus
Gear
Although you can attempt it with less, I recommend a gear level of at least 920 before trying this challenge - you can attempt it as low as item level 900 though you may want to just get more gear and over-power the scenario. This is one of the more difficult challenges.
Any set bonus should be useful, but none are mandatory for this scenario.
Haste on gear is very useful, enabling you to cast more
Descarga de Escarcha
and get more
Ventisca
ticks while kiting; for this reason I used the
Susurros en la oscuridad
and
Metrónomo errático
trinkets (when Nighthold was still current content). Whispers in the Dark can backfire if the casting speed debuff affects you at the wrong time, so be wary. In addition, the trinket was nerfed heavily but still can be useful if it has a high item level. Any damage trinkets should work, especially those from Antorus.
Having at least 66 traits will help out a ton as well. Be wary as
Tormento a los débiles
can break crowd control.
Buffs
Tartar de oso
Frasco del pacto murmurado
Runa de aumento profanada
Tambores de furia
- only if using
Fragmento de El Exodar
Talents
These are my recommend talents.
Hasta los huesos
and
Invierno solitario
are interchangeable. With lower gear levels I found the extra add control and on-demand
Dedos de Escarcha
very useful, and
Centelleo
can be swapped for
Témpanos de hielo
. However, having that second
Traslación
charge is likely to save your life.
Toque helado
are interchangeable
Hielo fragmentado
if desired, but the extra procs make kiting and burst slightly easier. You will get plenty of procs in Stages two and on wards, so it may not be too terribly advantageous.
Vientos gélidos
,
Vendaval ártico
and
Vacío térmico
are non-negotiable.
Legendaries
I rate
Prydaz, obra maestra de Xavaric
,
Batalla final de Belo'vir
and
Secreto de Sephuz
very highly in this scenario.
The shield from Belo'vir or Prydaz will absorb most of an explosion (
Agarre del más allá
) from the
Mano del Más allá
, allowing you to ignore its first cast (the same goes for
Bloque de hielo
).
There are many ways of proccing
Secreto de Sephuz
in this scenario: all mobs can be frozen and the
Mano del Más allá
needs interrupting.
The encounter isn't long enough to use
Distorsión temporal
twice with
Fragmento de El Exodar
, but you can use
Tambores de furia
.
As always with a
Vacío térmico
build,
Agarre de lady Vashj
is excellent,
The encounter
Phase 1
You will begin by kiting
Karam Lanzamágica
. Do not let him hit you;
Dragón ascendente
will take you to very low health, if not one-shot you, giving you no wiggle room for the extremely hectic later phases.
Karam gains a stacking movement speed buff, so you may need to burn
Venas heladas
to nuke him down before this becomes too much for you to handle. Simply cast
Descarga de Escarcha
at him, while using
Lanza de hielo
and
Aluvión
as they proc. If he gets too close,
Nova de Escarcha
and run away. Avoid the purple pools on the floor; they deal damage and slow you down.
Phase 2
Phase 2 begins when Karam reaches 30% health. He will go immune and begin to heal, while
Raest Lanzamágica
starts to attack you. Although it is tempting, do not
Contrahechizo
his
Descarga de las Sombras
; doing so will cause him to move, and it's useful to keep him in the centre of the arena.
Raest will summon small adds, which do nothing except move towards you. Like Karam, they will one-shot you if they get too close. Keep
Ventisca
on cooldown to control them and fire
Orbe congelado
into their midst at all opportunities, to force
Dedos de Escarcha
procs.
Use
Venas heladas
here, if you didn’t in phase 1. The massive amount of Fingers of Frost procs from your Orbs should enable you to keep it active well into phase 3.
Phase 3
Karam begins chasing you again. Raest no longer summons small adds, although the existing ones don’t despawn and will continue to attack you; keep them controlled with Blizzard and Frozen Orb.
A new mechanic in this phase is the
Mano del Más allá
, which is a priority target. As soon as it spawns, you must switch your focus to it (freeze the adds and Karam if necessary with
Nova de Escarcha
or your pet's
Congelar
) and nuke it down. It will cast
Agarre del más allá
; as with most other abilities in this encounter, this will one-shot you if you allow it to be cast. Counterspell at the very end of the cast, giving you more time to attack the Hand. About five seconds after interrupting, the cast will begin again; the Hand must die before this second cast is complete. You will probably get between two and three Hands in this phase before burning Karam to 30%.
Phase 4
Karam goes immune again and Raest again begins to attack you and summon adds. Hand From Beyond is not active in this phase. However, Raest will place purple runes on the ground (
Runa de invocación
). You must stand in this rune and soak it until it disappears, otherwise a
Cosa de pesadilla
will spawn and - you guessed it - one-shot you. Attack Raest, control adds and stamp on runes to make it through to the last phase.
Phase 5
Karam spawns one final time, but Raest is also active. This means that you will simultaneously be dealing with Karam; Raest; the small
Vestigio sombrío
and
Maligno sombrío
adds; Hand From Beyond; and Rune of Summoning.
Soaking the Rune of Summoning is your priority, with Hand From Beyond a close second. You should also kite Karam (don't bother directly attacking him: keep him at bay with Blizzard and Frozen Orb) while attacking Raest. The encounter is complete when Raest dies (although Karam will keep attacking you; if you die to him after Raest goes down, don’t worry).
Tips + tricks
The cleave from Splitting Ice prioritises Raest when he is active, so helps to push extra damage onto him while attacking Karam/Hand From Beyond.
Everything in this fight can be frozen; use it as an escape and, if using your Water Elemental, a source of Fingers of Frost procs.
Possibly the most helpful tip that I can share for this fight, courtesy of
Xaryu
of Method: you can move your Water Elemental onto the
Runa de invocación
to soak it, negating the need to move yourself! The Rune always spawns close to the same location.
If a
Runa de invocación
spawns in an awful location you can run into it, then use
Bloque de hielo
quickly cancelling it (or waiting for a blink charge to come back up) after the rune despawns, and blinking away again.
Anything else useful
There are several ways to approach cooldown use in this fight:
Venas heladas
in phase 1 and phase 3 - use this if you’re struggling to get through phase 1, or can reliably keep Icy Veins active into phase 2.
Icy Veins in phase 2 (Raest active), with
Distorsión temporal
. This is viable if you have a high level of gear and can nuke Raest down quickly, while there are few other mechanics. Icy Veins will carry over into phase 3 and can be used to quickly deal with Karam.
If you have
Fragmento de El Exodar
, I recommend using
Tambores de furia
and
Venas heladas
in phase 1, then
Distorsión temporal
and Icy Veins in phase 4.
