Before you enter there are a couple of thing that can make your life easier.  The first is making an Antharas blood crystal.  You need an item dropped from the 7RB quest as well as one dropped from the 3RB quest.  Take both items to the separated soul NPC in Hunter's village and he will make you one.  It's basically an extra mass rez.  Item is tradable.

The 2nd item, and probably the most important, is the below totem.  You get it from the "How Lavasauruses Are Made" Quest (In FoG).  There are other totems you can get from the quest but ONLY one totem can be active at the same time.  The other totems are WORTHLESS in comparison to this one.

As far as buffs, you can remove resist shock unless you expect PvP.  Antharas stun chance is 100% so there is no point in wasting a buff slot.  If didn't go 3 items for Earth resist, take a +++ Resist Earth buff.

To enter you HAVE TO be part of a command channel.  HIGHLY recommend bringing friends for this one.  Even a low level bishop can do wonders by staying far away from the fight and rushing in to cast an Ally Mass Rez.

Once in you have 10 minutes until Antharas spawns to prep, not much to do except run to your favorite corner and put down the first defense totem.  Only reason for running to a corner is it keeps your chars close when they get feared.  I usually sit just off to the right.

Antharas has some surprises for you.  Besides just kicking the **** out of you with his attacks, he also casts varies debuffs.  You can look forward to random fear, stun, and "The Curse of Antharas" which basically is like Day of Doom for anyone who gets it.

If you have Kamaels, have them use soul cleanse on each other.  If a non-Kamael char gets a debuff, use Cleanse from one of your bishops.  Remember Cleanse from bishops require Einhasad's Holy water from the basement of ivory tower.

First thing you should do is go ahead and get your ultimates out of the way.  That is, your SoS/App/DoD Combo, BEFORE the chain stuns begins.  Damage can be nice.

From 100% life to 50% life, Antharas is.... manageable.  Gives you that false feeling of hope.  At 50% life Antharas starts doing his AOE Stuns which have 100% land rate and can not be prevented.  The only thing that 'helps' is using a smart cubic on your tank if you have the skill.  It sometimes removes the stun early.

From 15%? life to 0% life Antharas does that same unblockable AOE Stun, roughly every 20-30 seconds.  And it stuns you for roughly 7 seconds.  But don't worry, while you are stunned he continues to attack, cast fear, and curse you and your clan mates.  What?  You were hoping for something more positive?

The name of the game  here is defense.  Greater shield over Greater might, as much earth resist as you can stack up, Zerk is not your friend.  While you are doing 'less damage' the amount of damage you lose being dead on the floor and recasting noble and worse, rebuffing, is much more.  That said, try and trigger SOS on your tank as much as possible to bring the dragon down faster.

Reward: Top & Mid S84 Weapons, Top S84 (Elegia) Armor & Jewels as well As Mid (Vorpal) Armor including Vorpal Shoes.  BEWS, BEAS, Forgotten scrolls, and of course, the Earring of Antharas
