I'm looking for a weekend raids "The Twilight Forge" and "The titan Awakes" raids. Mostly on from 1pm mst to 3am mst. I think it take 3-5 people for the orange puzzle? Mostly want to unlock falconry throw favor. Will be on this life for around two weeks or a month. If anyone it putting those raids together let me know.

You need at least 2 people + 1 pet for underwater, iirc. But 3 people might be easier. Everything else can be done solo.
- have Ddoor
- have some kind of leap
- self heals
- have ranged for part 2, if you solo.
- ...
Nothing else comes to mind without the wiki atm.

Good luck and cheers,
Titus

Based on my own guild run experience:

1) Check everyone has underwater action.
2) When the two other drown because they didn't have UWA after all, get annoyed.
3) Next try, make REALLY sure they have UWA.
4) When they still drown, quit for the evening in despair at the state on mankind.
5) When you finally make it on the third try, and one of the guildies say, hey, this was easy and fun, let's do it again more often, punch the wall.
6) Go to the local emergency medical facility.

I use to duo it 2 or 3 times a week with a guy from DDO Korea who’s English was so bad he might as well not speak any but we still had few fails we knew our part this was probably 8-10 years ago

Disclaimer: If you only care about getting Falconry, be aware you don't have to do these raids to hit the 700 favor anymore (see below). But hey, if you can get a group, by all means go for it. It's interesting if nothing else.


I've done this raid-set all of three times, and only once did we finish the second one. Someone asked "anyone have Greater Ruin?" One person said yes. Then the Titan was dead. Apparently G.Ruin was just enough raw damage to one-shot it before the invulnerability turned on.

Does that still work? Not sure. If it does, I HIGHLY recommend that be part of your plan if you want to complete both parts for favor (again, not necessary for falconry, but why not try since you're there, right?).

If you want try to do it legit for the experience, make sure everyone involved watches a guide, prepares ahead of time, coordinates in voice chat/discord, and is prepared for it to still not work anyway. The final fight can be pretty finicky, especially with lag.


My original reason for doing the raid was also for the falconry favor unlock, back when you literally had to do every single Free Agent quest. You could technically skip exactly one quest and still meet the minimum number, which was often Titan part 2 because of the difficulty to complete.

Since then, enough Free Agent quests have been added that you can skip the Titan raids and still hit 700. You still need the rest of Restless Isles, all the free-to-play FA quests (including the Den of Vipers raid), and all of Demon Sands, Harbinger of Madness, and Three-Barrel Cove, with absolutely everything completed on Elite.

In my experience, DoV gets run on Hard a lot of times, which would leave you at 694 favor. At that point, one of the two Free Agent quests in the Tavern Tales pack (the only things on the list that aren't free-to-play and haven't been included in the freeddoquest coupons) will put you over the threshold.

Hope that helps, either with getting the raid cleared or getting Falconry unlocked.

No, you do not need Den of Vipers. With all quests and the Zawabi's Revenge you only need 7 favor for 700. And normal run of The Twilight Forge is enough for that.

If they did not remove Memoirs of an Illusory Larcener that quest would cover that favor gap. But we no longer have that.

You can try joining a raid for Den of Vipers instead of The Twilight Forge since it is common nowdays, but it is endgame so some people may have high expectations from joiners.

I just did the pre raid a few days ago with a friend. It was practically a first time run for us but we managed. We had lvl 30+ toons so we could easily survive the colored hall damage and one had open lock which is a must for underwater part. We both had pets, but only one pet is needed. You also need some "Abundant step" jump forward ability for the levers in the blue golem room.

We used wiki for puzzle room: https://ddowiki.com/page/The_Twilight_Forge/Green_Puzzle

And underwater part was a bit stressful at times because we were afraid we would get ourselves stuck, but if you do not call the pet away from its valve until you are 100% certain you do not need that valve color anymore, you should be fine even without any guides.

At cap, in the right ED, you can solo both raids. I find it never challenging to get a few joining if you post 10-34, if you don’t want to bother with the solo mechanics. It is still possible to kill the titan without the laser and pillars, with a high single target hit. IIRC, it’s not until he goes below 75%, when his shield pops. So you have that window of opportunity to one shot him or at least not require many pillars. When I do HCL heroic runs, I prep the giant around that level then hit with the strongest single damage attack I have. Many times can get by with 2-3 pillars then.

I meant in order to skip both Titan raid quests. If you can get a group for at least the first half, then yes, you're right in that you don't need Den of Vipers. I've just seen DoV groups fairly regularly and almost never see Twilight Forge runs, which is why I suggested it.
