Defeat the Dragon shamans to destroy their totem before Svanir reinforcements arrive is a level 72 event that occurs in Highpeaks at The Barrowstead during the Breaking the Ice meta event. After destroying the totem foci to stop the Svanir ritual, the shamans must now be taken down before reinforcements arrive, to finally wipe the area of Svanir influence.

These are the expected rewards for a level 72 player. Higher level players receive dynamically adjusted rewards.

Walkthrough[edit]

The shamans aren't particularly strong, but at this point your Vigil allies are likely dead. Take care of Sons of Svanir while taking down the first shaman. You can now revive any fallen Vigil to assist you with the other two. They will revive each other, so reviving a couple is all you need before moving on. Once all three shamans have been defeated, they will rise again as Icebrood (veterans, elites, or champions as dictated by upscaling).
