First attempt: Skill rework.
Second attempt: Aggro lost on some titans, Asuir falls
Third attempt: Two large groups aggroed, energy can't hold out and aggro is lost.
Fourth attempt: Success!

Took us around two hours or so for the mission. Granted we had to stop and think about our strategy per group, check for pop-ups since we couldn't remember what would spawn where, a lot of time could be shaved off the challenge. As far as farming is concerned however, the best drop was a margonite key.

But, our goal was to just two-man the mission so we did skip a number of groups before the initial encounter with the Shiro/Canthan enemies.

Sadly no picture of the lich falling, just the quest log afterwards of him dropping a Bone Charm for me.

As it goes into cinematic shortly after they're dead, there wasn't much time to snag the shot.

His Elite is Signet of Removal. If target ally is under an Enchantment, that ally loses one condition and one hex. Good job you two.

Racthoh is using one, you can tell by his energy bar, only 1 pip of regen. The Asuir looks like he is using a Totem Axe. But that is the best i can do for ya.

Signet of Removal is an amazing skill, it's like Blessed Light but without the heal so that makes it free.

I was using 16 sword, 11 strength, 9 tactics only because my shield is tactics required. Probably didn't need a zealous sword either, but I'm too stubborn to change equipment. Fiery sword would've been better since apparently the lich is weak to that (according to wiki).
