Entering
The drops all appear to be 160 stat armor pieces. This zone has gorgeous artwork.
Siren's Grotto: Tavalan Abyss has an intrinsic debuff that lowers your crit chance by 100%. In addition, monsters found within the zone have an intrinsic buff that raises their crit avoidance by 100%.
All the Tavalan squidmen found in the zone also have a nasty trauma debuff. Either have a quick finger on the cure button, a big stock of trauma cure potions, or both.
Make your way up the entrance tunnel. The coerced Combine soldiers can be ignored, it's safer to kill the Tavalans. The tunnel lets out in a big central room called the Hall of Summoning. There's an odd sculpture in the middle of the room surrounded by Tavalans. Kill them.
Mindscorcher Shellik
From the Hall of Summoning, two paths lead west, but the upper one is gated. There's an elevator due west, but it's sealed. Head down the lower path, clearing Tavalans. Again, the cocerced Combine soldiers can be ignored unless you want the experience points.
The path goes through the Temple Stones. Mindscorcher Shellik is on a raised platform to the south. Shellik summons soulscorchers. He will periodically emote "You are no match for my brilliance". About 5 seconds later he'll cast Mindmelt for automatically lethal damage. Joust to avoid. The trick to this fight is either having enough DPS to burn down Mindscorcher, or enough AOE DPS to handle the soulscorchers.
Shellik can be temporarily bypassed.
Baritum, Cartis, Deklani & Farinu
At the end of the path, Baritum, Cartis, Deklani and Farinu attack as a group.
One of the four is a healer - it seems that the one that heals is randomly selected from the four. Unless you happen to pick the healer as your first target, once you get one of them below 80% health, that one will ask the healer to heal him and the healer will say he will. Once you know who the healer is, kill him, he doesn't heal himself.
Once the healer is down, it doesn't matter much what order you take them out in.
Kira the Temptress
At some point she will unleash two adds.
Queen Dulseris
Use the conch you got from Kira the Temptress to open the 3 portals. Engage her and 10 seconds in you see red text. Click on all three seashells to open them. This turns on the portals to prevent her epic minions from coming in to kill you. Burn her down to about 10% and you will see more red text that a portal is opening. One of the 3 shells will not have the blue beams coming out. Click that shell to re-enable it. Burn her down the last 10%.
Tavalan leader
Kill the imps or they will add to the fight.
