[0:00] Hello guys, how's it going? My name is Y
[0:01] and this week, Midnight as an expansion
[0:03] got its biggest update yet with the
[0:05] Mythic Plus season finally officially
[0:08] launching, which opens up players to
[0:10] eight dungeons that can give you some of
[0:12] the best of the best gear available, as
[0:14] well as a Mythic Plus progression system
[0:16] filled with rewards, not only gear, but
[0:18] also mounts and other collectibles for
[0:20] you to obtain. For today's video, I
[0:22] wanted to do a full-on guide for all of
[0:24] the dungeons you're going to be facing
[0:25] up during the season 1 of Mythic Plus
[0:28] and go over all of the major mechanics
[0:29] that you're going to be encountering
[0:30] with a variety of different bosses from
[0:32] these dungeons to make sure that you're
[0:34] prepared before you even step foot into
[0:36] the Mythic Plus progression. I will also
[0:38] add chapter marks down below to make
[0:40] sure you can go back if you ever want to
[0:42] reference this video and reference any
[0:44] of the guides and you could just go back
[0:45] to the dungeons you're looking at. It's
[0:47] a lot of content to get into and I kind
[0:48] of want to dive into it as soon as
[0:50] possible. As you can see, this video is
[0:51] quite long. But with that being said, as
[0:53] always, if you guys do want to get
[0:54] regular updates regarding Midnight as an
[0:57] expansion, be sure to follow the channel
[0:58] and subscribe. But otherwise, let's dive
[1:02] right in.
[1:04] So, as far as the dungeons are
[1:06] concerned, I am going to go over them
[1:07] starting with some of the more recent
[1:09] editions of Midnight and then go over
[1:11] the new additions for the season. And
[1:13] the four midnight dungeons we have for
[1:15] season one is Madress of Cherus, Myazra
[1:17] Caverns, Nexus Pointenas, and Windrunner
[1:20] Spire. Starting with Madress Cherus,
[1:22] which is a pretty straightforward as far
[1:23] as bosses are concerned. The first boss
[1:26] is going to be Aronotron Kustos, who is
[1:28] going to do a number of abilities. As a
[1:30] tank, you have to watch out for
[1:31] Repulsion Slam because it's going to be
[1:32] a pretty hefty knockback. So, you want
[1:34] to make sure to clear out a portion of
[1:35] the room, big enough area where you
[1:37] can't get knocked to various spots.
[1:39] Arcane Expulsion is going to be his big
[1:41] ability, leaving puddles on the ground,
[1:43] which the tank can position the boss
[1:44] ahead of time. Try to usually put the
[1:46] boss over in the corners away from the
[1:48] middle of the room so the rest of the
[1:49] group has plenty of space to work with.
[1:51] The boss is also going to cast
[1:52] periodically shackles. Usually, right
[1:55] after he does the arcane expulsion, a
[1:57] puddle in the ground. This is dispel
[1:59] effect, but also root breaker. So, if
[2:00] you have a way to remove roots, this
[2:02] would also be very helpful. But, as long
[2:03] as you're not getting rooted in a
[2:05] puddle, you should be for the most part
[2:06] good to go. His big ability is refueling
[2:09] protocol when the boss stands still and
[2:11] starts consuming mana orbs drawing him
[2:13] closer to himself. You basically want to
[2:15] make sure none of the mana orbs reach
[2:17] the boss because it's going to give him
[2:18] a bunch of damage but also it's going to
[2:20] do group by damage too. You don't want
[2:22] that. But the orbs need to be soaked
[2:24] periodically staggered because they will
[2:26] build up a damage stack on you. Ideally,
[2:28] the tank should have enough defenses to
[2:29] soak a bunch of them. But as a player,
[2:31] if you want to soak them early and then
[2:33] stop for a little bit until the debuff
[2:34] drops off, then soak some more
[2:36] periodically staggering them. That is
[2:37] the best way of going about it. During
[2:39] the shadow boss also takes additional
[2:41] damage, so if you have any cool downs,
[2:42] it might be a good idea to save it for
[2:44] that phase. Next boss is Sarinel Sun
[2:46] Lash, who has a handful of mechanics
[2:48] that are all really pretty easy to deal
[2:50] with for the most part. You got yourself
[2:52] the uh the dot spread with runic mark.
[2:54] Essentially, when you hit him with runic
[2:55] mark, you get a red circle under him.
[2:57] you want to spray it away from other
[2:59] players in order to reduce AOE damage
[3:01] taken. The next ability he's going to
[3:02] use following up right after is a
[3:04] suppression zone. You will actually be
[3:06] taking your rune marks into suppression
[3:07] zone to remove the dot, but every time
[3:09] you do so, it does AOE damage and makes
[3:11] a bunch of puddles on the ground. So,
[3:13] you want to make sure you stagger the
[3:14] removal unless a healer has some kind of
[3:16] a big cool down available for this.
[3:18] Hastening ward is going to be another
[3:19] ability that the boss is going to get.
[3:21] Dispel it if you can, otherwise it's
[3:23] going to be a decent bit of additional
[3:24] damage that the tank has to deal with.
[3:26] When the boss casts wave of silence,
[3:27] which he'll do after about two runic
[3:29] mark spreads, eventually it was going to
[3:32] do a ton of AoE damage, silencing all
[3:34] players. However, anybody standing in
[3:36] suppression zone during wave of silence
[3:38] as it goes off is going to be in the
[3:39] clear. So, you basically just want to
[3:41] dip into the suppression zone when the
[3:43] wave of silence goes out and use
[3:44] suppression zone to clear off runic
[3:46] marks. Jillis is essentially a big
[3:49] stupid jellyfish boss. He doesn't really
[3:51] do a lot, but he can still be just as
[3:54] deadly as any other boss out there. He
[3:56] doesn't have like any tank mechanics
[3:58] whatsoever. He just kind of floats
[3:59] around and does damage passively more
[4:00] than anything. His main mechanic is
[4:02] triplicate where he splits and creates
[4:04] versions of himself that will also um
[4:08] share health. He does this at the
[4:09] beginning of the encounter and also does
[4:11] this again at 50%. All these like clones
[4:15] of the boss will share health. So the
[4:16] more of them are out, the more cleave
[4:17] damage you can do to the boss. But the
[4:20] more of these jellyfish are out, the
[4:21] more mechanics they're all going to be
[4:22] able to do because they copy the boss's
[4:24] mechanics. Mechanics such as Neuralink,
[4:26] for example, where your player will be
[4:27] selected, neural link to one of the
[4:29] jellyfish. You got to run to the
[4:30] jellyfish to clear the debuff. You'll
[4:32] see a big spotlight and a big red arrow
[4:34] for the ad or the boss you have to run
[4:36] to and just touch them in order to be
[4:38] able to clear the debuff. So, the more
[4:40] of them you have, the more players need
[4:41] to do the mechanic. Cosmic stink is
[4:43] another one. One of the jellyfish is
[4:45] going to pick a player, sting them, and
[4:46] leave a puddle on the ground. The more
[4:48] jellyfish they are, the more cosmic
[4:49] stings they are. It does more damage and
[4:51] makes even more puddles. Astral grasp is
[4:54] going to be another ability. After some
[4:55] while, the bosses and all the other
[4:57] jellyfish are going to pick a player and
[4:58] start pulling him closer. You basically
[5:00] want to make sure you don't get pulled
[5:01] on top of the jellyfish cuz it does a
[5:03] lot of damage. But even the pulling
[5:04] effect does damage as well. So, you just
[5:06] want to run against it. This is going to
[5:07] be one of those phases where you may
[5:09] need some defensives. The Gentrius is
[5:11] going to be another boss that has very
[5:13] very specific mechanics that need to be
[5:14] developed in a very specific way, but
[5:16] they're all straightforward. First of
[5:17] all, any lines he places on the ground,
[5:20] don't ever cross the lines. Just don't
[5:21] touch them whatsoever. You just have to
[5:23] play around with making sure there's
[5:24] enough players on either side of the
[5:26] boss arena to make sure to do this orb
[5:28] catch. It's called unstable void or
[5:31] essence. And he throws out a ball
[5:33] essentially, and you got to stand under
[5:34] it in order to bounce it. You got to
[5:35] bounce it four times in order to remove
[5:37] the effect. Each bounce does a bit of
[5:39] shadow damage, but if that orb ever
[5:40] lands on the ground, it's pretty much a
[5:42] wipe. So, this is something that needs
[5:44] to be done throughout the encounter. You
[5:46] also need to be very, very careful to
[5:47] position around during entropy as they
[5:49] get the debuff. It does a bit of damage,
[5:51] which the healer needs to heal. And at
[5:52] the end of it, it shoots out orbs in
[5:54] random locations. So, you got to make
[5:56] sure you position in decent spot where
[5:57] other players are given enough room to
[5:59] be able to avoid this orb. Though, that
[6:01] also tends to overlap a lot with stable
[6:03] void essence. So, sometimes you can't
[6:05] really do that. You just basically every
[6:07] player in the group has to have keep
[6:08] their head on a swivel for this mechanic
[6:10] specifically. The take is also going to
[6:12] have an extra ability of hulking
[6:14] fragment which will deal large AOE
[6:16] damage. So you want to position the spot
[6:17] where other players are not. There's
[6:19] also going to be a dispel mechanic where
[6:20] you need to run the debuff out, get
[6:22] dispelled, it drops a puddle and you
[6:24] want to make sure to manage the puddle
[6:25] in a very consistent area away from
[6:27] other players the entire fight.
[6:31] The next dungeon is Msara Caverns and
[6:33] this only has three bosses, but all of
[6:34] them have quite a decent bit of
[6:36] complexity to them. Every single one of
[6:37] them has some uh unique element behind
[6:39] the fights. Murin and Necrax are
[6:42] basically a dual boss and they have a
[6:43] number of abilities. Migin periodical
[6:46] will do the sleep ability. Flanking
[6:47] spear on the tank which has a knock back
[6:49] and a bleed effect. So that's something
[6:50] you have to be watch out for. He also
[6:52] drops freezing traps which you don't
[6:53] want to stay up on at least yet. You
[6:55] will want to save them for a specific
[6:57] mechanic. The boss also periodically
[6:58] cast barrage, picking a random player.
[7:00] If he does pick you, you just want to
[7:02] make sure the barrage is faced away from
[7:03] the group and you'll just take a lot of
[7:04] damage while the barrage is on you.
[7:07] Necrax also has a set of his own
[7:08] abilities such as being able to spread
[7:10] diseases which will just deal additional
[7:12] damage over time. If you have a dispel
[7:14] disease removal, those will be very very
[7:16] helpful to reduce the damage here. FedEd
[7:18] Quilltorm is all pretty easy to dodge.
[7:19] Avoid the big circle and then the little
[7:21] circles that follow afterwards. But when
[7:23] Necrax uses carry and swoop, he picks a
[7:26] player to charge at them to swoop past
[7:27] them, you want to make sure that that
[7:29] player or somebody in front of him
[7:30] stands on the freeze and trap in order
[7:32] to be set into a block of ice. So when
[7:34] the boss charges through the block, he
[7:36] gets stunned, disrupting this whole
[7:38] mechanic because otherwise it does a ton
[7:39] of damage. Also, Migrain and Necrax, if
[7:42] either boss dies first, they do a
[7:44] special ability. Mirain will attempt to
[7:46] revive his own pet and he'll put the
[7:49] bird back up to 35% health. If the bird
[7:51] is alive first but Merchant dies, the
[7:53] bird goes into beast shell wrath
[7:55] enraging doing more damage as the fight
[7:56] goes on. So you want to keep their
[7:58] health as even as possible. But I think
[7:59] the safer kill is probably going to be
[8:01] necra if you if you he has a lot of
[8:03] health. I think Mergin summoning the
[8:05] bird back up and resonate probably is
[8:07] really really bad. Unless the bird and
[8:08] mer low then just kill the bird first.
[8:11] Then play Merin after before he gets his
[8:12] cast off. The next boss is war daza.
[8:16] This boss will spawn phantoms throughout
[8:18] the encounter that can be dealt with a
[8:20] number of ways. You can either CC these
[8:22] phantoms, but then they'll just linger
[8:23] forever. You can kill them in order to
[8:25] remove them, or you can have two
[8:26] phantoms run into each other as they
[8:28] will be constantly following players, so
[8:30] you can aim them at one another to
[8:32] remove both of them. Though, these
[8:33] phantoms will leave puddles on the
[8:35] ground when they do pop. Definitely not
[8:37] a good idea to have a tank running
[8:38] through it. For a short bit of time in
[8:40] beta, tanks were doing that, but they
[8:42] made sure the tanks do not do that as a
[8:43] mechanic. as a tank. If you do have to
[8:45] run through one for any reason, make
[8:47] sure you have a heavy defensive for it.
[8:49] Otherwise, the boss is going to cast on
[8:51] make, which is just a dodge frontal
[8:52] ability. You can pretty much easily
[8:54] avoid it. The big ability that the boss
[8:57] is going to do is after about two sets
[8:59] of phantoms, they'll channel necrotic
[9:01] convergence, placing themselves in the
[9:02] middle of the boss arena with a fairly
[9:04] heavy shield, creating all necrotic orbs
[9:06] around them that will deal additional
[9:07] damage and radiating damage to players
[9:10] over time, growing in intensity. This is
[9:12] where you want to DPS the shield as fast
[9:14] as possible. And if you have any cool
[9:15] downs for it, that would be the best
[9:16] time to send it while dodging orbs
[9:19] because the damage ramp up here is going
[9:20] to be very very heavy. Otherwise, the
[9:22] fight is straightforward. Ratul is a
[9:25] dancing boss. He has special abilities
[9:27] in a very very specific order that are
[9:29] all very pred predictable. At the very
[9:31] beginning, RTL is going to do a tank
[9:33] leap, which will leave a puddle on the
[9:35] ground. The best way for tanks to deal
[9:36] with that is to put the tank leap
[9:38] towards like a wall and then try to run
[9:40] towards the center of the boss arena to
[9:42] prepare for the next mechanic. Shortly
[9:44] after the tank leap, the boss will
[9:45] target three players, leaping on them.
[9:47] And you want to make sure you don't take
[9:48] those leaps too far out. You can
[9:50] actually kind of stay close together.
[9:51] Every one of those leaps is going to
[9:52] spawn a totem that will begin this
[9:54] channel. They'll start drawing players
[9:56] to them. The closer the totems are
[9:58] together, the faster you can cleave them
[9:59] down. After he does that totem leap,
[10:02] this is where the tanks wants to
[10:03] position again for the next tank leap.
[10:05] So it's a very very straightforward. So
[10:07] anytime the tank sees the totem leap go
[10:09] out, he knows the tank leap is next.
[10:10] Every time players see the tank leap,
[10:12] they know the totem leap is going to be
[10:13] up next. And after about three tank
[10:15] leaps, the boss is going to send all the
[10:17] players into the spirit realm where
[10:19] there you want to run back to the boss.
[10:20] On the way there, you want to make sure
[10:22] to crowd control malignant souls with
[10:25] interrupts, stuns, blinds. Any CC works
[10:27] on them really. CC and these will give
[10:29] you a big damage buff so you can run up
[10:31] to the boss and do a heavy bit of damage
[10:33] to him while he is stunned before the
[10:35] fight resumes and the mechanics repeat
[10:36] until the boss is eventually dead.
[10:40] The next dungeon is Nexus Point Zenus
[10:42] with Chief Corrite. With Chief, for the
[10:45] most part, his main mechanic is going to
[10:47] be creating lines that go across the
[10:48] boss arena. Never touch the lines at any
[10:51] point. There's only one way that you
[10:53] want to touch the rind, and that is when
[10:55] the boss applies reflex charge on a
[10:57] player, which will do some dot damage.
[10:59] But while the reflex charge is on a
[11:00] player, they can actually stand in
[11:02] between the lines cuz they're immune to
[11:03] them. And if they stand long enough,
[11:05] they overload them, removing them. You
[11:06] ideally want to wait with reflex charge
[11:08] and use it when you have a bunch of
[11:10] lines criss-crossing over a spot to
[11:11] remove a bunch of them in bulk to give
[11:13] your team as much room to function with
[11:15] while the fight goes on. So, that is
[11:17] something you'll want to handle
[11:19] throughout the encounter. boss is also
[11:21] going to leave a lot of puddles on the
[11:22] ground. So, there's going to be a lot of
[11:23] movement, but the better you are at
[11:24] magic in the lines, the better this part
[11:26] is going to be. Also, the boss is going
[11:28] to use at some point core spark
[11:30] detonation, which you want to dodge. Has
[11:32] a slight knock back, but the cleaner the
[11:34] room is, the easier it is for you to
[11:35] position for the knock back to make sure
[11:37] you don't get knocked into one of the
[11:38] lines, but line management for that
[11:40] fight is like the most important part.
[11:43] The next boss is called Warden Nazara.
[11:45] For this boss, she's going to spawn ads
[11:46] periodically, which needs to be pulled
[11:48] together. So if you have a way to
[11:50] redirect threat or knock the ads towards
[11:52] the tank, help them out because that's
[11:53] going to be amazing here. Some of those
[11:55] ads do have cast from afar, so they can
[11:57] be very, very annoying to manage. The
[11:59] boss is also going to place two big
[12:00] circles on two players with eclipse and
[12:02] step. Simply take the circles away from
[12:04] the group when the cast is about to go
[12:06] off. The take is also going to hit get
[12:08] hit with the arm roll lash, which has a
[12:10] knockback effect and will take make you
[12:11] take more damage. So as a take, you'll
[12:13] have to be very very careful with this.
[12:15] After some time, a leftover image of
[12:16] Lthroxian will leap into the arena,
[12:18] flash under the boss, leaving a light
[12:20] scar flare, which creates this light
[12:22] area where players want to stand in.
[12:24] While standing in the flare, you do
[12:26] insanely high amounts of damage to the
[12:28] boss. This is where you want to save all
[12:29] your cooldowns to pump the damage into
[12:31] the boss as much as possible. Though,
[12:33] standing in flare hurts you a lot. So,
[12:35] as a healer, you want to make sure to
[12:36] stand in there, too, to pump as much
[12:38] healing as you can. It's going to be a
[12:40] burst heal and a burst damage phase for
[12:42] everybody involved. The final boss is
[12:44] Lothraxian, which has a number of fun
[12:46] mechanics. In fact, for the most part,
[12:48] he's going to do a frontal tank ability,
[12:50] searing rend. It's a frontal cleave that
[12:52] also leaves a puddle on the ground. You
[12:54] just want to make sure to face us away
[12:56] from the group. He also creates
[12:57] brilliant dispersions where he basically
[12:59] essentially makes clones of himself.
[13:01] You'll start those out as circles on
[13:03] players, which you'll want to drop as
[13:04] far away from the room as possible or
[13:06] just in a safe spot. These images,
[13:08] however, will flick around and move from
[13:10] time to time in the arena. So, you want
[13:11] to make sure to dodge the circles, but
[13:13] also dodge the lines that the ads are
[13:14] going to create. After the boss creates
[13:16] enough of these images on the floor,
[13:18] he'll cast Divine Kyle, disappearing
[13:20] into one of those images in the boss
[13:21] arena. During this mechanic, do not just
[13:25] attack images. You only need to
[13:27] interrupt one of them. Otherwise, don't
[13:29] hit him with any other ability. Just
[13:31] look for the right image to reduce the
[13:33] amount of group by damage that you can
[13:35] do. This is a part I think is going to a
[13:36] lot of players are going to mess up in
[13:38] bug content. Do not do damage during
[13:40] this mechanic. However, to find the real
[13:42] Lothraxian, he is the only dreadlord
[13:45] amongst the images that doesn't have
[13:47] horns on his head. These light horns.
[13:49] So, just look for his shiny bald head to
[13:52] find the real dreadlord. Interrupt him
[13:54] and then the boss fight continues as it
[13:56] was with him controlling images over
[13:57] time until boss is dead.
[14:01] The final midnight dungeon is going to
[14:02] be winrun spire. And the first two
[14:04] bosses can be done in any order. I will
[14:06] go over derelic duo first. It's a dual
[14:08] boss, so there's a mer bunch of
[14:10] different mechanics that is going to
[14:11] overlap between two bosses. You have
[14:13] Latch, which I'm going to call the big
[14:15] guy. He's going to slap the tank with a
[14:16] bone hack. Callus, which is the banshee.
[14:19] She's mostly going to cast shadow bolt
[14:20] that needs to be interrupted. Outside of
[14:22] that, Latch is going to use the big guy
[14:24] is going to use splattering spew. You
[14:25] just want to move it out to the edges of
[14:27] the arena to drop puddles. You have
[14:28] quite a bit of room to work with here,
[14:30] like the center as well as the edges of
[14:32] the room. So, you have quite a bit of
[14:34] place to work around with. The uh
[14:36] banshee is going to put a curse of
[14:37] darkness which you can dispel if you can
[14:39] remove a curse. But if you can't after
[14:41] the curse is gone, it's going to conjure
[14:43] a ghost that will chase that cursed
[14:44] player. Crowd control can deal with them
[14:46] easily. Just CC them and move away from
[14:48] them. Hunters can drop a freezing trap.
[14:51] Pretty sure mages could just nova and
[14:52] walk away from those things or you can
[14:54] kill them if you want to, but they don't
[14:55] really need a lot of investment to deal
[14:57] with them. The big ability is going to
[14:59] be when two bosses overlap. debilitating
[15:01] shriek, which is going to be this
[15:02] building stacking AOE damage that is
[15:05] going to continue to ramp up while the
[15:07] big guy is going to use a hook for a
[15:09] heaving yank ability. You want to
[15:11] basically stand behind Callus to make
[15:13] sure she's targeted by the heaving yank
[15:15] and you'll know that you're targeting
[15:16] Callus when she has a big arrow, red
[15:18] arrow above her head. When you have that
[15:21] secured, then that yank is definitely
[15:23] going to get callous. Make sure you do
[15:24] not stand in between the two bosses to
[15:26] not get yanked to make sure that the
[15:28] banshee does go down every time. You
[15:30] also want to make sure to kill these
[15:31] bosses pretty closely together,
[15:32] otherwise both of them are going to
[15:34] enrage and they start to hit pretty hard
[15:36] throughout the encounter.
[15:39] Emberdawn is the other boss that you can
[15:40] do out of the first two. It's a really
[15:41] simple boss. It's going to mostly hit
[15:43] the tank with a searing beak doing a lot
[15:44] of fire damage. Otherwise, it's going to
[15:46] play circles on players with flame
[15:48] updraft. You want to basically run those
[15:50] to the edge of the room as best you can.
[15:52] It will create a little burning gale
[15:53] there for a while. So, you want to just
[15:55] got to keep those away from the group.
[15:57] Periodically, the bosses are also going
[15:59] to cast a burning gale as a big ability
[16:01] where it's going to create a bunch of
[16:03] winds. Use the fire breath frontal,
[16:04] which you need to dodge. And those
[16:06] twisters that are left by the circles
[16:08] from earlier, they'll start to move
[16:10] around the boss arena more rapidly. So,
[16:12] you'll want to basically dodge twisters,
[16:14] dodge the boss frontal, and deal with
[16:16] the knock back of the wind effect that's
[16:18] going to be happening throughout the
[16:19] arena. Otherwise, it's a rinse and
[16:22] repeat. A fairly simple boss with not
[16:24] too many mechanics, but very, very
[16:25] deadly mechanics if you get hit by them.
[16:28] Next boss is Commander Krug, who also is
[16:31] a dance boss. He has a very, very strict
[16:33] set of abilities he's going to use. At
[16:35] first, he's going to hit the tank with a
[16:36] rampage, which is going to do a ton of
[16:38] damage. Then, he'll pick target that's
[16:40] furthest away for a reckless leap. When
[16:42] that does, he also cause these crashing
[16:43] circles on the ground. You want to avoid
[16:45] the puddles. He'll do that leap twice
[16:47] and then immediately follows up with
[16:48] intimidating shout. So you want to make
[16:50] sure to dodge all the uh circles of
[16:52] rubble and then stack together for
[16:54] intimidating shout to make sure you
[16:56] don't get feared. So it's a very very
[16:58] simple stay away to two leaps then stack
[17:00] together for the fear effect. Usually at
[17:02] the boss you can stack with the tank and
[17:03] the melee at about 65% and 35% which is
[17:07] a rough number. It seems the boss has
[17:09] like a a cast sequence of when he uses
[17:12] the ability and he doesn't really
[17:13] interrupt the reckless leap or
[17:14] intimidating shout for this. But at
[17:16] about those health in thresholds, he
[17:18] will use rallying below. Well, the boss
[17:20] essentially becomes immune and starts
[17:22] chasing players with blaztorm. And if
[17:24] that happens, you want to just face the
[17:25] boss away from the group and just kite
[17:27] that uh fixate away from everybody.
[17:30] During this phase, he'll summon a bunch
[17:31] of ads. You need to interrupt the
[17:33] mystic, take all the other ads on top of
[17:35] axth. So you see ax thrower if you want
[17:37] to limit some of the bleed damage, but
[17:38] you want to blast these ads as quickly
[17:40] as possible, mostly focusing on the
[17:42] mystic at the start. And the boss will
[17:43] basically stay in this immune bladestorm
[17:45] phase until all the ads are dead while
[17:47] the he returns to all the base abilities
[17:49] until he's dead. The last boss of that
[17:52] instance is restless heart, which will
[17:54] put a dot on players as she sprays
[17:56] arrows periodically from time to time.
[17:58] And that is going to be something that
[17:59] everybody's going to have to deal with
[18:01] either with defenses [music] or finding
[18:02] a way to clear. One of the easiest way
[18:05] to clear is when she casts a bullseye
[18:07] wind blast, which will create this wave
[18:08] that radiates from a target location.
[18:10] During that time, you'll want to take
[18:12] one of those arrows on the ground, which
[18:13] jumps you up in the air, letting you
[18:15] leap over the uh the wave, but it also
[18:18] helps you clear your debuff, leaving a
[18:20] storm spirit on the ground. So, this is
[18:22] summon that you can use either to clear
[18:24] your DOT while dodging the wave, but
[18:26] technically you can pick up arrows early
[18:28] to make sure you're clearing the debuff
[18:29] earlier. If your healer is struggling
[18:31] with the amount of damage taken, or if
[18:33] you have a class that just doesn't have
[18:34] good cell survivability, you may need to
[18:36] start clearing those arrows just a
[18:38] little bit more rapidly throughout the
[18:40] encounter. That will leave more spirits
[18:42] underground for you to deal with, which
[18:44] will give you less room to work with.
[18:46] But that is a mechanic that players did
[18:48] utilize a lot during the beta testing.
[18:50] Another ability the boss is going to do
[18:52] is a combo ability. Temper slash on the
[18:54] tank, which is going to be a big heavy
[18:55] knock back. It's easier to get knocked
[18:57] back into a wall so you don't go flying
[18:59] all over the place. Afterwards, the boss
[19:01] is going to follow up with a temper with
[19:02] a gust shot, which will place an AoE
[19:05] circle on everybody else in the group
[19:06] that isn't the tank. You want to spread
[19:08] and you also want to make sure to hit as
[19:09] many stormy spirits as possible with
[19:11] this just to help clear the room. It
[19:13] helps, but not really mandatory or
[19:15] necessary like it used to be back in the
[19:17] day. The boss is also going to pick a
[19:19] target with a bolt gale. When he picks a
[19:21] target, it will have a slow push back
[19:23] and a conal attack at the target. You
[19:25] essentially just want to try to face the
[19:26] boss away from everybody when that
[19:28] happens. Ideally towards a wall. So, you
[19:30] don't really need to be running against
[19:32] uh against towards the boss so you reach
[19:34] it. The tank positioning the boss near a
[19:36] wall at all times usually helps with
[19:38] this mechanic. So, you pretty much don't
[19:39] have to worry about it except for the
[19:41] damage that it does.
[19:44] Now, as for the non-midnight dungeons,
[19:46] we have the dungeons of Algathar
[19:47] Academy, which is a fan favorite from
[19:49] the expansion of Dragonflight. And I'll
[19:51] go over the bosses for this dungeon cuz
[19:52] technically the first three can be done
[19:54] in whatever order, but I'll just go over
[19:56] them in the order that you're most
[19:57] likely going to be facing them when
[19:58] you're doing your mythic plus runs.
[20:00] Starting with the overgrown ancient. His
[20:02] main ability is germinate. Will he spawn
[20:03] a lot of little ads which need to be
[20:05] cleaved down? These ads don't wake up
[20:07] immediately, but they there is something
[20:10] that you'll need to do just just DPS him
[20:12] down at all times to make sure to limit
[20:14] them because eventually he is going to
[20:15] try to wake him up once his energy hits
[20:17] max. Branch shadow is going to be
[20:19] another ability. Not only is he going to
[20:20] summon little lashers, but also a tree
[20:22] which is you need to DPS it as quickly
[20:24] as possible. It tries to heal the boss
[20:26] and will spread bleeds to everybody. So,
[20:28] you want to DPS it. It'll create a
[20:30] healing circle. You want to stand in the
[20:31] healing circle to remove the bleed in
[20:33] order to be able to manage that dot
[20:35] damage. But if you have another way to
[20:36] remove bleeds, like a class that could
[20:38] do, so that could also be helpful if you
[20:39] do miss the circle. Bark Breaker is
[20:42] going to be an ability slapped on the
[20:43] tank, it's going to do a lot of damage
[20:45] and make the tank take more damage.
[20:47] Getting hit by the boss while this
[20:48] effect is active is not bad, but the
[20:50] ads, I think, could be really, really
[20:52] dangerous. At 100 energy, the boss will
[20:54] cast burst forth, and any lashes that
[20:57] are not dead, that are dormant, are now
[20:59] awake. They also do poison damage and
[21:01] the tank is going to be it's going to be
[21:03] mandatory for the tank to pick up these
[21:04] ads as soon as possible because they
[21:05] will quickly overrun your group. The
[21:07] tank should be able to deal with them.
[21:09] But if you have the barb breaker debuff,
[21:11] they're going to be very very painful.
[21:12] So you want to CC those ads, nuke them
[21:14] down, AoE them as quick as possible. So
[21:16] the better class you have for ad
[21:17] management and just padding on ads, the
[21:19] better this fight is actually going to
[21:21] be. Next boss is the bird boss, who has
[21:24] a handful of abilities. Not too bad
[21:26] really. Deafening screech is which is an
[21:28] AoE and a silence if you're midcast.
[21:31] Savage peck on the tank which is a
[21:32] pretty big bleed damage. An overpowering
[21:35] gust where the boss will face a random
[21:36] player attempted to knock him off the
[21:38] platform which is pretty to dodge.
[21:39] Pretty easy to dodge. The boss by itself
[21:42] would have been a very very
[21:42] straightforward fight. But whenever it
[21:44] drops to 75% and 45% it does this big
[21:47] cast that will do insane amounts of
[21:49] damage to the group knocking them back.
[21:51] You want to make sure to interrupt it.
[21:52] And the only way you can do so is by
[21:54] playing ball. You'll have these balls
[21:56] appear on the outside of the boss arena
[21:58] and you'll want to take them to either
[21:59] the blue goal or the red goal. Either
[22:02] one of those is going to give you a
[22:03] buff, but also a debuff to work with for
[22:05] the rest of the encounter. Ideally, most
[22:07] players are going to want to go with the
[22:08] blue goal first, which will create these
[22:10] haste orbs around the area, gives you a
[22:12] significant damage window, but it also
[22:14] create these tornadoes will constantly
[22:16] move around the room. So, it's going to
[22:17] just give you a lot more clutter to work
[22:19] with. Tornadoes move fairly slowly, so
[22:21] they're not impossible to dodge, but
[22:23] they are pretty annoying. and this is
[22:25] going to be someone you'll have to
[22:25] manage for the rest of the encounter.
[22:27] Then you'll want to use the red goal for
[22:30] the next time to break up the boss cast
[22:32] which will give the boss a searing blaze
[22:34] effect. The boss during that effect will
[22:36] be stunned and will take additional
[22:37] damage which is going to be a huge
[22:39] window for you to do damage but then the
[22:41] boss is going to get a debuff where it
[22:42] constantly radiates fire damage. This is
[22:45] why the best way of going about this
[22:46] fight is at first to do the blue gold to
[22:48] get the haze buff plus also the annoying
[22:50] tornadoes and then for the later fight
[22:52] later part use the red gold in order to
[22:54] deal with the fire damage later.
[22:56] Otherwise, your healer may run out of
[22:58] mana a little too early if you're
[22:59] dealing with a fire buff from the get-
[23:00] go as it can be very very heavy. So,
[23:03] you'd rather deal with it as the boss is
[23:05] in execute range when you're trying to
[23:06] finish it off. The next boss is Veximus
[23:09] and he has a handful of abilities that
[23:11] all need to be dealt in a very specific
[23:12] way. First of all, throughout the
[23:14] encounter, it's going to counter arcane
[23:16] orbs, which will move slowly to the
[23:18] boss. You want to make sure to touch the
[23:19] orbs before they reach the boss. The
[23:22] orbs will leave a debuff on you, so you
[23:24] can't take too many of them at a time.
[23:25] You will need dispels, or you'll just
[23:27] need to stagger how many of those you
[23:29] pick up at a time. Usually, the tank can
[23:31] pick up two of these orbs and then get
[23:32] dispelled by the healer, and then they
[23:34] can pick up more if they want to. So, if
[23:35] the tank is positioning and is quick
[23:37] enough, you can actually grab a bunch of
[23:38] them. And if you have coordination with
[23:39] the healer, that could work. Otherwise,
[23:41] everybody should just pick up an orb and
[23:43] then the healer should just try to
[23:44] dispel players whenever possible. Arcade
[23:46] Expulsion is going to be a frontal that
[23:48] the tank will want to face away from the
[23:50] group. So, you want to make sure to keep
[23:51] the boss towards like an edge of the
[23:52] arena as best as you can to make sure
[23:54] you're not just cleaving through the
[23:55] rest of your group all that easily. Mana
[23:58] bombs where two players are going to be
[23:59] targeted by an ability. It's going to be
[24:01] a circle around you and when the circle
[24:02] drops, it'll leave a puddle underground.
[24:04] This will do a lot of damage, so you
[24:06] want to make sure you have a defensive
[24:07] or you're near you're a healer so they
[24:09] can handle you. But you will want to
[24:11] drop those away towards the outside of
[24:13] the boss arena and then move in right
[24:14] after. Arcane fissures is going to be
[24:17] someone the boss is going to do. Knock
[24:18] players back a little and then just
[24:20] continuously making these fissures all
[24:22] over the place. It's a big dodge angle
[24:24] and sometimes it overlaps with all the
[24:25] mechanics, but it's not that bad as long
[24:27] as you get decent bit of movement speed
[24:29] and not standing in a circle when it
[24:31] goes off. The final boss is Echo of
[24:33] Duragosa. Her main major mechanic here
[24:36] is overwhelming power. As the boss deals
[24:38] damage to players, it builds up a buff
[24:40] called overwhelming power, which grants
[24:42] you a haze buff, which is actually not
[24:44] that bad. It does deal some damage over
[24:46] time, but the haze buff is pretty worth
[24:48] it. It's 5% per stack. Unfortunately, at
[24:50] three stacks, it creates an arcane rift,
[24:52] and the boss is going to be creating
[24:54] those pretty regularly, either through
[24:55] players getting the debuff stacks to
[24:57] three or the start of the encounter.
[24:59] These arcane rifts will continuously
[25:01] shoot out arcane orbs in every
[25:03] direction, which will give you a lot of
[25:05] things to dodge. It's not that bad when
[25:06] you only have a handful of those rifts,
[25:08] but as more players get debuffs, as more
[25:10] players create more rifts, as you get
[25:11] hit by more abilities, you're creating
[25:13] so many rifts that it's pretty much
[25:14] impossible for you to dodge every one of
[25:16] them, which is how this boss is going to
[25:18] probably take down a lot of players that
[25:19] are not all that careful. So, for the
[25:21] most part, when you can, you want to
[25:23] dodge most abilities that the boss is
[25:25] going to do as best as you can and only
[25:27] take what you can't avoid. Astral blast,
[25:30] where the tank where the boss will
[25:31] target a player to blast him with a
[25:33] bunch of arcane powers. So you want to
[25:34] make sure to avoid the frontal as best
[25:36] as you can. Power vacuum is where the
[25:38] boss is going to grip players on top of
[25:39] her to do arcane damage AOE. So you want
[25:41] to make sure you got movement speed to
[25:43] run out of it as quick as possible. And
[25:45] the boss is also going to plink at
[25:46] players with arcane missiles which does
[25:48] immediate damage and applies
[25:50] overwhelming power. This is going to be
[25:52] the uncontrollable element. So you're
[25:54] just going to want to be very very
[25:55] careful to be positioned correctly. If
[25:57] you are sitting at two stacks of
[25:58] overwhelming power in case you do end up
[26:00] dropping a rift, you kind of want to
[26:02] keep them all clustered together. and
[26:03] maybe as far away from the boss if at
[26:05] all possible. Next boss, next dungeon is
[26:08] actually going to be Pasauron where you
[26:10] have three bosses from Wrath that have
[26:12] actually been reworked in major ways.
[26:14] Starting with Forge Master Garon, which
[26:16] a lot of players played first uh during
[26:18] beta. His main mechanic is going to be
[26:20] to throw Saronite. He'll pick two
[26:22] players and after a bit of time, he'll
[26:23] throw Saronite at their location. You
[26:25] want to position one of those Sonite
[26:27] ores kind of far away and one you can
[26:29] kind of keep closer to the middle that
[26:31] will create a puddle, however. So,
[26:33] ideally towards the edge of the room is
[26:34] better, but as long as they're a decent
[26:36] distance apart from each other, that's
[26:38] going to be all fine. The tank is going
[26:40] to need one of those or throw son in
[26:42] order to break apart the orb breaker
[26:45] ability. Otherwise, the take is going to
[26:47] get hit with a pretty hefty stun and
[26:49] most likely die with the boss's auto
[26:50] attacks afterwards. But you basically
[26:52] want to take orb breaker on top of those
[26:54] sorite ores. This will create a puddle,
[26:56] but it will help the tank live the stun
[26:58] effect. Shortly afterwards, the boss is
[27:00] going to do a glacial overload where you
[27:02] can actually drag the boss next to one
[27:03] of the sirenite ores. You'll overload
[27:05] one of the um forges and it's going to
[27:08] create a line between the forge and the
[27:09] player. You want to hide behind the
[27:11] block of sonite to avoid it. And you can
[27:13] keep DPSing the boss as a melee if the
[27:14] tank positions the boss correctly near
[27:16] the other senite ore. Afterwards, the
[27:19] bosses go into cryo stomp, shattering
[27:21] the other siren ore, debuffing to
[27:23] players so they take more frost damage.
[27:24] So, healer wants to be very, very
[27:26] careful with the spells on this one. or
[27:28] if you need a defensive, you should use
[27:30] it. But otherwise, try to avoid as much
[27:32] damage as possible. During every time
[27:34] one of those sonite ores shatters, it
[27:36] creates a lot of swirlies for you to
[27:38] dodge. So try to be very, very careful
[27:39] with your positioning. But otherwise,
[27:41] it's a very straightforward fight. You
[27:42] just might run out of room if it takes
[27:44] so long with those senite ores kind of
[27:47] creating too many puddles on the ground.
[27:50] The next boss is a duo of Ick and Crick.
[27:52] Both of them pretty much share health,
[27:54] so doing damage to one deals damage to
[27:55] the other. So cleaving those two is
[27:57] going to be huge. Ideally, Ick is going
[27:59] to be the only boss that needs to be
[28:00] tanked. Crick kind of just does his own
[28:02] thing, cast spells it randomly. So, the
[28:04] tank is going to want to position
[28:05] around. Pretty early on, the boss is
[28:08] going to do an ability called chade
[28:09] shift where crick splits into three.
[28:12] He'll still keep his own version of
[28:13] himself, casting deathbolt, which needs
[28:15] to be interrupted, but also create two
[28:17] Asda will use shadow lance that also
[28:19] needs to be interrupted and DPS as
[28:20] quickly as possible. Whenever this
[28:22] happens, the best way of dealing with
[28:24] this from what I've seen is the tank
[28:26] should take Ick near the real crick. The
[28:29] tank should use their interrupt, which
[28:30] is short enough in cooldown to interrupt
[28:32] deathbolt every single time while also
[28:35] moving away whenever blight smash is
[28:38] about to happen. So you could drop a
[28:40] disease puddles as far away from the
[28:42] boss arena as possible. During that
[28:44] time, the DPS should be DPSing the ads,
[28:47] taking them down as quickly as possible
[28:49] before you get overwhelmed. But doing
[28:51] this with the tank interrupting Crick
[28:53] does mean that his deathbolt won't be
[28:55] oneshotting players and the only ads you
[28:57] really have to deal with are the ads
[28:59] from Crick that are being handled by the
[29:01] healer and the DPS. After some time,
[29:04] usually when the ads die, the two bosses
[29:06] are actually going to stack together
[29:07] with Crick jumping on top of and Crick
[29:10] will command I to use the ability of get
[29:12] him where he will fixate on a random
[29:14] player slowly waddle into them but doing
[29:16] a ton of damage when he reaches them. So
[29:18] when you are getting fixated by Ick, you
[29:20] should avoid them. Certain immunities
[29:22] like blessing of protection that can
[29:24] actually nullify the physical damage or
[29:25] like a rogue evasion or any other
[29:27] classes that have physical reductions
[29:29] can technically use those in order to
[29:31] avoid the damage, but only if your class
[29:33] has an actual immunity. Otherwise, I
[29:35] would avoid it as best as possible.
[29:37] During that time, it is also going to
[29:39] create more plague explosions, leaving
[29:41] even more disease puddles. So, it's
[29:42] going to be a lot of watching your feet
[29:44] and trying to avoid those as best as
[29:46] possible.
[29:47] The final boss is going to be Scourge
[29:49] Lloyd Tyrannis. The main mechanic of
[29:51] Scourge Lloyd Tyrannis that needs to be
[29:53] absolutely handled with care is whenever
[29:56] a player gets targeted with a blue
[29:58] circle, you want to move those to a
[30:00] glowy pile and place a circle on top of
[30:03] it, definitely place it on the one that
[30:04] glows, but you could also hit all the
[30:06] other ones that are not glowing around
[30:07] it as well. This is going to be the most
[30:09] important mechanic. It'll happen a
[30:11] handful of times, but ideally by the
[30:13] time the boss uses his big ability of
[30:15] Army of the Dead, you should only have a
[30:17] single glowing pile. Limiting the amount
[30:20] of those glowing piles you have on the
[30:21] floor is going to be incredibly helpful
[30:23] in making this encounter easier. So, if
[30:25] you get targeted by a circle, make sure
[30:28] to run those to a glowy pile outright.
[30:30] Do not stand, do not worry about the
[30:33] boss, just do the mechanic as it's going
[30:35] to make the rest of the fight much, much
[30:36] easier. So outside of that, the boss is
[30:40] mostly going to be using abilities that
[30:42] you can usually dodge. There's going to
[30:43] be a knock back on the tank, which isn't
[30:45] super deadly. The tank just needs to be
[30:47] very, very careful with it. And after
[30:48] some time, usually after a couple of the
[30:51] circles from the dragonfly above Rhyme
[30:54] Fang go out, the boss is going to cast
[30:56] Army of the Dead, summoning up all those
[30:58] piles and turning them into ghouls.
[31:00] However, the glowy pile is going to be a
[31:03] caster gold that needs to be
[31:04] interrupted, which is why you want to
[31:06] limit to only have one of those because
[31:07] they're very deadly. Everybody needs to
[31:09] DPS those down, CC it, crowd control it,
[31:11] stun it, whatever you can to interrupt
[31:13] its cast. And during that time, you'll
[31:14] need to dodge even more swirlies
[31:16] underground. But DPSing and eliminating
[31:18] that ad as quick as possible is going to
[31:20] be of utmost importance. And otherwise,
[31:22] as long as you're managing all the piles
[31:24] and freezing them with the dragon's
[31:26] breath attack, then you should be mostly
[31:28] good to go, which helps limit the amount
[31:29] of damage that goes out throughout the
[31:31] encounter.
[31:33] The next dungeon is Seed of Triumate,
[31:35] and all these bosses are going to have
[31:36] fairly straightforward mechanics, but
[31:39] there's like some real weird overlaps
[31:41] that need to be handled outright,
[31:42] otherwise the bosses are going to be a
[31:44] little overwhelming. First one is going
[31:46] to be Zural the ascended who does a
[31:48] number of things from decimate which
[31:50] will be targeted on the player. You
[31:52] ideally want to take those towards the
[31:53] outside of the boss arena as it will
[31:55] spawn a void sludge which you do not
[31:57] want to stand in. The boss is also going
[31:59] to use void slash which is a huge hit on
[32:01] the tank that will deal physical and
[32:03] shadow damage for the second hit. So
[32:04] that's going to be someone to prepare
[32:06] for. Ooze and slam will be a big AoE
[32:08] ability that is a ton of damage and also
[32:10] spawns two ads that need to be DPS down
[32:13] or crowdcontrolled. As long as those ads
[32:15] do not reach the boss, that'll be good
[32:16] to go. Crushing void, however, will draw
[32:19] all those ads towards the boss. So,
[32:21] it'll make it much harder for you to CC
[32:23] them. However, using stuns, roots, and
[32:25] any other CC does stop the push back
[32:28] effect or the drawing effect to the
[32:29] boss. So, as long as those ads don't
[32:31] reach the boss, you're good to go.
[32:33] Majority of the time, just DPS in those
[32:34] ads as soon as they're up is the safer
[32:36] play. But if you have a class like a
[32:38] druid, for example, with a root that can
[32:40] keep those ads rooted for a while, that
[32:42] is another way of dealing with it. It
[32:43] just gives you more time to DPS the
[32:45] boss, but that will only be good in
[32:46] really coordinator groups. In most
[32:48] cases, just DPS those ads. Next boss is
[32:51] Sapish, who is a hunter who has two pets
[32:54] with him. Those pets are going to do a
[32:55] number of mechanics, but another
[32:57] mechanic here or two is the pet and
[32:59] Sepish. All of them share health. So,
[33:01] you should try to stack them together
[33:02] and cleave them down in order to make
[33:04] this boss a little bit easier to deal
[33:05] with them. So, the pets do only two
[33:07] abilities. Dark Fang uses a shadow
[33:10] pounce, which is a blade for the healer
[33:11] to manage. You'll just port to a random
[33:13] player and bite them. Shade wing will
[33:15] swoop to a target location and will do a
[33:17] cast of dread scream which needs to be
[33:19] interrupted. But that's about it. And
[33:21] the boss himself periodically is going
[33:23] to create void bombs on player
[33:25] locations. Ideally for this fight, you
[33:27] kind of want to stack close together as
[33:29] players. You don't want to have somebody
[33:30] super far away. You kind of want to make
[33:32] sure that alo all those void bombs are
[33:35] close together. And even after the first
[33:36] set of void bomb spawns, you don't want
[33:38] to run too far out because he's going to
[33:40] create like two, if not three waves of
[33:42] these void bombs. So the closer they are
[33:43] stacked together, the easier it's going
[33:45] to be for all of you to clear them out.
[33:47] You could break these bombs by running
[33:49] into them. And the tank may want to do
[33:51] that if they're not taking too much
[33:52] damage. Just clearing them out maybe one
[33:54] at a time as long as the debuff isn't
[33:56] too bad on them. But the main way you're
[33:58] going to be clearing it is through phase
[33:59] dash where the boss is going to create
[34:01] circles around players and you want to
[34:02] take those circles on the void bombs to
[34:04] clear them. The better you are at
[34:05] stacking the location of void bombs, the
[34:07] easier it's going to be for you to clear
[34:09] them. But otherwise, if any of the bombs
[34:11] are active and the boss uses an
[34:13] overload, it's going to leave the
[34:15] everybody with a pretty hefty dot
[34:17] damage. And the damage output for this
[34:19] effect is going to be kind of heavy. So,
[34:21] you want to try to avoid that as best as
[34:23] you can. Viceroy Nazar has very simple
[34:26] abilities that all need to be dealt in a
[34:28] very, very simple way. Cast Mind Blast,
[34:30] which needs to be interrupted. He casts
[34:32] gates of abyss which creates orbs for
[34:34] you to dodge. They're kind of terror
[34:36] where the orbs are going to fly so you
[34:37] can preposition in order to be able to
[34:39] avoid them. Umbra tentacles is going to
[34:41] create tentacles that do AOE damage. You
[34:43] just want to DPS them. Position the boss
[34:45] next to tentacles if you can just to
[34:46] make cleaving them down even easier. And
[34:49] then at some point the boss is going to
[34:50] use mass void infusion which will dot
[34:53] players. Please heal them as a healer.
[34:55] That's really about it. His big ability
[34:57] at 100 energy is collapsing void where
[34:59] Nazaro teleports to the center of the
[35:01] room knocking everybody back and will
[35:03] start to build up with the repulsing
[35:04] force until he counters a void storm.
[35:06] Basically just run towards the boss
[35:08] because he'll create a safe area around
[35:10] him. He'll still take some AoE damage
[35:12] but the area near the boss is the
[35:14] safest. So it's just going to be rush to
[35:16] the boss. Make sure the ads are cleared
[35:18] out before that tomb. So the technical
[35:19] ads are going to be high priority to
[35:21] make sure you don't have those up while
[35:22] the void storm is happening. The last
[35:25] boss of this instance is Lura, who also
[35:27] has very, very simple yet strict
[35:29] mechanics, very similar to some of the
[35:31] other late bosses of other dungeons. His
[35:33] main mechanic is going to be the note of
[35:34] despair, where she'll create fragments
[35:36] around the room that need to be
[35:38] silenced. Whenever a player is targeted
[35:40] by discord and beam, you want to make
[35:42] sure to aim that beam at the notes of
[35:44] despair. It's a lot more important for
[35:46] you to make sure that the accuracy of
[35:48] those uh discordant beams is more
[35:50] important than damage on the boss here.
[35:52] silencing those discord uh notes of
[35:54] despair as early as possible is going to
[35:56] make this fight easy. The longer this
[35:58] fight goes on, the more damage the
[35:59] players are going to take from those
[36:01] nodes. So, focusing on making sure that
[36:03] they get hit by the beam is of outmost
[36:05] importance. Disintegrate is going to be
[36:07] another ability. Simple dodge. Boss is
[36:09] going to create void beams and they'll
[36:11] rotate around the boss. Just make sure
[36:13] you're not getting clipped by the void
[36:14] beam and you're good to go. Once all of
[36:17] the nodes are silenced, Alria will stun
[36:19] the boss. making Lura take 200% more
[36:23] damage. This is a perfect opportunity
[36:24] for you to have all your cooldowns saved
[36:26] for this phase specifically. This is why
[36:28] I said earlier it's a lot more important
[36:30] to do the mechanics of the boss than
[36:31] damaging because there's going to be a
[36:32] massive damage window anyway. Then since
[36:35] you can't are going to be able to get
[36:36] the most impact on the boss during that
[36:38] window, focusing on mechanics to get out
[36:40] of the phase into that invulnerability
[36:42] phase as early as possible is going to
[36:44] be of outmost importance. Missing any
[36:47] notes of despair. This makes the fight
[36:48] harder for the healer because the damage
[36:49] is going to ramp up, but it also delays
[36:51] the time that you'll have inside of that
[36:53] big burst damage window. Last dungeon on
[36:55] the list is Sky Rage for Moro General.
[36:57] Again, it has a bunch of bosses that
[36:59] have very, very straightforward
[37:00] mechanics for the most part. First of
[37:02] all, being Rangit, which is basically a
[37:05] wind boss. All of his attacks are going
[37:07] to be wind themed. You'll throw out wind
[37:09] chocks, which you'll simply need to
[37:10] dodge. Phantol blades, which will be a
[37:12] bleed to heal. Gala surge, which will
[37:15] pick a player, putting a uh a whirlwind
[37:18] on the on the target, knocking the
[37:19] player back. You basically just want to
[37:21] place those away from other players, but
[37:23] also be careful for the knock back. And
[37:25] you want to make sure you're not
[37:26] touching that wind again because it'll
[37:28] do a ton of damage. Just a straight up
[37:29] area to avoid. The big ability for the
[37:32] boss is going to be chock vortex, which
[37:33] will create a bunch of winds that'll
[37:34] move around the room. [music]
[37:36] It's a big dodge fiesta here. You're
[37:38] just dodging winds at all times. So if
[37:40] there's a wind mechanic or a frontal or
[37:42] a chakrum, you're dodging them as best
[37:44] as you can.
[37:46] Archnath is going to be a interesting
[37:48] boss that stands in the center of the
[37:50] arena. So it's not like you can really
[37:51] move them, but positioning on this boss
[37:53] is going to be extra important
[37:54] throughout this fight. There's going to
[37:56] be these energized beams happening from
[37:59] the outskirts of the arena that will go
[38:01] into these constructs that will rechanle
[38:03] the beam back to the boss. The DPS and
[38:05] the healers want to make sure you're
[38:06] standing in between the beams and the
[38:08] boss to soak him. Only the DPS and the
[38:10] healer should be doing this, not the
[38:12] tank. The tank will have a whole another
[38:13] mechanic together. The tank will have to
[38:16] face the boss away with a fiery smash.
[38:18] You want to make sure to aim it, but
[38:20] when the boss starts casting fiery
[38:21] smash, you want to dodge it. So, the
[38:22] tank is always making sure that he's
[38:24] facing it away from other players that
[38:26] are soaking the beams at all times.
[38:28] Players soaking beams should also be
[38:30] ready to move because after the beam
[38:32] soak is completed, those constructs on
[38:34] the outskirts will do heat exhaustion.
[38:36] So, it's going to be a lot of dodging
[38:37] for everybody involved, but everybody's
[38:39] going to be doing their own dodging and
[38:41] aiming and mechanics at the same time.
[38:43] Another ability you're going to have to
[38:45] deal with is supernova. That's mostly
[38:46] going to be for the healer to deal with.
[38:47] It does big damage to heal, but majority
[38:50] of the fight is just positioning heavy.
[38:52] Rook is going to be the next boss, and
[38:54] majority of his mechanic is going to be
[38:55] summoning sun wings, which will create a
[38:58] bird that needs to be taken down as
[38:59] quickly as possible. However, defeating
[39:01] the bird does not eliminate it. It just
[39:02] places it back into an egg. The
[39:05] smoldered eggs ideally should be placed
[39:07] on the outskirts edges of the room. The
[39:09] birds will also fixate a player, so try
[39:11] to position them on the outside edges of
[39:13] the room rather than in the center. And
[39:15] try to place the birds away from each
[39:17] other. The big mechanic here is if you
[39:19] have a smoldering egg and another bird
[39:21] dies on top of it. As it dies, it
[39:23] reignites all other eggs around its
[39:25] local area. This is why you want to make
[39:27] sure these birds are separate from each
[39:28] other. these eggs are as far away from
[39:30] each other as possible to make sure the
[39:32] birds are not dying on each other,
[39:33] resing each other back to back to back
[39:35] because it just does a ton of overall
[39:37] damage. So, the faster you can take down
[39:39] these birds, the better. Otherwise, for
[39:41] the most part, Rook Red is going to have
[39:43] the screech ability, so the tank is
[39:44] going to want to stand in the boss's
[39:46] melee at all times. The tank is not
[39:47] DPSing the ads at all. You can taunt him
[39:49] anyway. Maybe like you could stun him,
[39:51] but you're mostly going to be standing
[39:52] next to the boss to prevent it from
[39:54] doing a screech while also getting hit
[39:55] by burning claws, which does a ton of
[39:57] fire damage. The only other ability
[39:59] where everybody is going to avoid it,
[40:01] the boss, even the tank, is steering
[40:02] quills. The boss will move to an area
[40:04] letting out a bunch of flaming quills,
[40:06] which you'll want to stand behind the
[40:08] pillar in the center of the boss arena
[40:09] to dodge it. As soon as the quills are
[40:12] gone, Tank needs to rush over to the
[40:13] boss to interrupt screech and make sure
[40:15] that the boss does not use any other
[40:17] abilities whatsoever. Otherwise, that's
[40:20] essentially the fight is just managing
[40:21] ads and then making sure the tank is in
[40:23] a boss's position at all times.
[40:25] The final boss is going to be High Sage
[40:27] Relics. Another fairly simple boss with
[40:30] a very core mechanic that needs to be
[40:31] intro avoided or dealt with as quickly
[40:34] as possible. He'll cast a solo blast,
[40:36] which is a simple interrupt ability.
[40:38] Scorch and Ray will heal beam three
[40:40] players dealing some immediate fire
[40:42] damage and a dot damage over time. You
[40:44] just have to heal through it. Lance
[40:46] flare will heal pick up player and with
[40:47] a beam that follows the player. That
[40:49] beam will also leave a blazing ground in
[40:51] its wake. So, you want to make sure to
[40:53] aim this away from the group and kind of
[40:55] put it towards the outside edge of the
[40:56] boss arena, away from other players, not
[40:59] running that beam all across the boss
[41:00] arena. Periodically, the boss will
[41:02] summon a zeala to try to grab a player
[41:05] and will slowly fly him off the edge of
[41:07] the room boss arena to drop Mau down.
[41:10] You essentially want to say those
[41:11] zealots as soon as they're up, stun
[41:13] them, slow them, do everything you can
[41:14] in order to limit their ability to take
[41:17] uh your your group members out of the
[41:19] boss arena. And as long as you can deal
[41:21] with those ads and as long as you can
[41:23] deal with the beams being away, the boss
[41:25] is generally straightforward.
[41:27] But with that being said, as always, I
