If you are defeated, the mission will automatically fail; you are not given any resurrection options whatsoever and will immediately warp out of the RP. It is highly recommended that you use Wings of Eclipse all the time, and stay at a great distance from the other Daols while attacking as their multi-aggro can easily get you killed. Try to take them out one at a time. Note that taking a hit from Spear of Light will deactivate Wings of Eclipse. Once the mission starts, immediately use Silent Move to get further back from the Daols, as your default position will result in two Daols aggroing you. If you are multi-aggroed, try to hit multiple Daols with the Wings of Rage splash to avoid being overwhelmed. It usually takes several Wings of Rage to eliminate a Daol. However, during the stunlock effect, they will always attempt to use Spear of Light. Before launching, they will say "!!!" and the Spear of Light Icon will briefly disappear, at which point Silent Move should be used to dodge the impact. Morrighan may learn Critical Hit should she take a critical hit from one of the Daols. This will allow Wings of Rage to score critical hits. A bug may occur where the screen turns white. Entering other areas may cause odd camera angles. Complete the quest. You will receive 20,500 EXP. Relog or change channels to trigger a cutscene and wait for the next quest to arrive.
