Wait for combat between the Shadow Army and the Order of Whispers ends. Get closer to the mixed group.
Cast Shadow Form and get into the middle of the enemy group with Shadow Walk.
Now, cast Pheonix, Meteor Shower, Bed of Coals, Lava Font, Phoenix and finally Lava Font in that order.
Once Shadow Form is about to expire (blinking slowly / quickly) use Dark Escape and run to safety.
Once the mixed group has been cleared, repeat the above tactics for the group of six Curse of Darknesses.
