A group of 4 and I tried to take this thing down. When we got it to 0 health it instantly respawned at full health. We finally got tired of reviving each other and left. If this is a bug I want to report it or if there is something that should be added to the wiki explaining what that was all about, I sure would like to know. Woedin Woebringer

This is working as designed. All Karkas, veteran or better, have two health bars. The first is for its outer shell, shown as a buff called  Defiance.png Armored; the second is the standard bar as for any creature. You have to destroy the exoskeleton, after which you can take down the champ. Fortunately, the un-armored karka takes much more damage.
Once one is familiar with the mechanic, the two health bars are easy to deal with. However, perhaps the wiki should make it more obvious for people who are new to fighting the tougher karkas. 75.37.17.167 20:33, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
