Talk to (hail) Dextris Kanghammer to start the event. Dextris Kanghammer will challenge Rufus Invictus and the event begins. Don't take too long with each stage, as Rufus Invictus can kill Dextris Kanghammer and the event will fail, but you can heal & buff Dextris Kanghammer (except during the 64% to 48% phase).

90%: Rufus Invictus locks in HP, so don't waste efforts on him for now. Also, a Takish engineer spawns somewhere in the arena and casts 'Magnet Mine' (a snare / slow with 350K Damage). This effect is ends when a Takish engineer is killed. Once done, DPS Rufus Invictus.

64%: Three adds (a Takish reprobate, a Takish swindler and a Takish Scoundrel) spawn in the 'Towers' (NW, NE & N of the Arena). They can buff Rufus Invictus with a a nasty 2K Damage Shield, a Spell Immunity and they can also cast a Heal Blocker on Dextris Kanghammer. Thus, pre-assign groups to run up and kill all three (3) of them ASAP. They must die within about 20-seconds of each other, or else they can respawn (after about 120 Seconds). Once all three (3) adds are dead, go go back to DPS on Rufus Invictus.

48%: The 'crowd' will now start throwing things and debuffing Players (Tomatoes, Lettuce, and Carrots), all of which can do nasty things. However, these effects are easy to avoid and the AoE Aura is not overly large (simply have the entire raid stack on the boss and then move to the opposite side of the arena when the emote happens and then keep moving back and forth with each emote). Meanwhile Rufus Invictus will periodically do an AoE attack to all Players that are close enough, but due the vegetable attacks, let it happen (stay bunched up, heal).

Meanwhile, be sure to heal and keep Dextris Kanghammer alive (heals). If he dies, the raid fails. The raid ends when Rufus Invictus is defeated.

If you're trying to do this with minimal groups, you don't need to balance the 3 tower mobs. Take your whole crew except whoever is tanking Rufus to a tower, kill its mob, move onto the next tower (quick so the respawn doesn't aggro you). Once you've killed all 3 tower mobs once each, stay at the third tower and kill its respawn once, bringing your total to 4. Now Rufus' hp is unlocked even though you didn't balance a damn thing.

Takes a couple minutes longer, but it turns the entire raid into a complete joke. A++ farm raid
