Walkthrough

You just have to defeat the three ambushers within the time limit. Upon map instance creation or shortly after a previous ambush even is triggered, one of the six areas will be randomly selected for the next ambush event if possible. It is possible for another zone to be selected while a previous ambush is ongoing, therefore multiple ambushes events can be active simultaneously. Once an ambush event occurs in an area, the area can not be selected again for some time. If all areas are on cooldown, then no ambush event can occurs until one of the zones can be selected again. When a player enters the selected area they will be dismounted, receive the crippled condition and the event will start.

Achievements

Completing all six variants of the ambush event awards the "The Deadliest Thing on Two Legs" achievement.

Dialogue

Triggering the event

(one of the following)

<Character name>: Demons! Look out!

<Character name>: Demons incoming!

<Character name>: Ambush!

Notes

• This cripple applied to the player when triggering this effect, does not put the player into combat, although it will keep they player in if they where prior to triggering the ambush. Therefore, it is possible to immediately re-mount and evade all attacks after triggering the ambush.
• The next ambush area may be selected and subsequently triggered in as few as 20 seconds after an ambush is triggered.
• The time between an ambush in an area and the next time it can be selected again appears to vary in a range between 5 to 10 minutes.
