[0:00] With the first season of Midnight just
[0:01] one week away, now is the perfect time
[0:03] to learn the mechanics of each dungeon
[0:05] to get a head start for when Mythic Plus
[0:06] releases. In this video, I will be going
[0:08] over bosses, important trash, when to
[0:10] use defensives, healing cooldowns, and
[0:12] generally what packs to pull and avoid.
[0:14] I go over the four new dungeons that
[0:16] will be a part of the rotation in season
[0:17] one, those being Magisters' Terrace, My
[0:20] Saurids' Caverns, Nexus-Point Zenith,
[0:22] and Windrunner's Spire.
[0:24] Starting off with Magisters' Terrace, we
[0:26] have a nifty new dungeon based in
[0:27] Silvermoon City. The first pull in
[0:29] Terrace notably has two Arcane
[0:31] Magisters, which are adds that reoccur
[0:33] throughout the whole dungeon. Magisters
[0:34] will cast Polymorph on a random target.
[0:36] So, this needs to be interrupted and
[0:38] focused down, or the dungeon might be
[0:39] over before it begins. You'll also be
[0:41] facing an Arcane Sentry, which will cast
[0:43] three notable spells. Arcane Beam is a
[0:46] channeled laser that will follow the
[0:47] target player and leave behind pools.
[0:49] Ethereal Shackles is a channeled tank
[0:51] buster that also roots. And lastly, they
[0:53] have Crowd Dispersal, which is a
[0:54] knockback which I'll talk about later.
[0:57] In the library maze, there is a tome
[0:59] that provides the group 5% haste for 30
[1:01] minutes. So, make sure to pick that up
[1:03] since it should last the whole dungeon,
[1:04] hopefully. Avoid librarians, which is
[1:06] just good advice in general, and make
[1:08] your way to the first of many
[1:09] pyromancers. Try not to pull this guy
[1:11] until the full group is through the maze
[1:13] and until all the animated codex are
[1:14] killed. These adds will cast ignition, a
[1:17] permanent rot damage dot, while also
[1:18] throwing out pyroblasts that are one
[1:20] shots. So, make sure not to miss these
[1:22] kicks.
[1:23] In this next area, be hyper aware that
[1:25] there are more Arcane Sentries that will
[1:26] use Crowd Dispersal, which like I said,
[1:28] knocks players back a fair amount, and
[1:30] you can accidentally back pull if not
[1:31] careful. Additionally, Sunblade
[1:33] Enforcers will gain Arcane Blade,
[1:35] dealing massive tank damage that should
[1:36] be purged if possible.
[1:39] Before Arcanotron Custos, the first
[1:41] boss, there are these Spellwoven
[1:43] Familiars that burst on death,
[1:44] increasing damage of nearby enemies and
[1:46] dealing AoE damage. This is especially
[1:48] dangerous with the nearby pyromancers.
[1:51] Speaking of Arcanotron Custos, we are
[1:53] now onto the first boss. He will cast
[1:55] the same knockback as the Sentries, but
[1:57] also leave a pool of arcane damage. Make
[2:00] sure to tank him in a corner to spread
[2:01] as little of this as possible. This also
[2:03] allows you to negate the tank buster
[2:04] knockback. He starts at 100 energy that
[2:07] drains until it hits zero, at which
[2:08] point he will stand still sucking orbs
[2:10] closer to him which deal massive AoE
[2:11] damage if he touches them. Collecting
[2:13] orbs will do increasingly more damage,
[2:15] so use immunities and defensives to grab
[2:17] as many as possible without offing
[2:18] yourself by accident. Collecting these
[2:20] orbs will also drop small pools, so be
[2:22] aware of crowding the area too much.
[2:24] During this intermission, the boss takes
[2:26] 20% more damage and the first
[2:27] intermission happens about 50 seconds
[2:29] into the fight and every 50 seconds
[2:31] afterwards, so plan cool downs
[2:32] accordingly.
[2:34] The section after the first boss notably
[2:36] has a new add, rune spellbreakers, which
[2:38] will cast a cleave frontal that easily
[2:40] topples DPS or healers, so be careful
[2:42] not to get hit by this and tanks try and
[2:44] face them towards the wall. They also
[2:45] leave nasty dots from runic cleave which
[2:47] does a little bit of splash damage, so
[2:49] pre-spread a bit. After going through a
[2:51] few familiar faces, you're on to Saranal
[2:54] Sunslash, the second boss. The mechanics
[2:56] of this boss mainly revolve around
[2:58] suppression zone, an AMZ looking ground
[3:00] effect that silences players within. Two
[3:02] players will be hit with runic mark and
[3:04] need to remove this dot by stepping into
[3:06] the zone. When removed, it will deal
[3:08] massive group-wide damage, so they
[3:10] should be staggered. Wave of silence is
[3:12] a long cast that will one-shot players
[3:14] outside of the suppression zone when it
[3:15] resolves, so make sure to be in the zone
[3:17] a few moments before the cast goes off.
[3:19] After this boss, channel the table above
[3:21] him and start making your way back
[3:22] through the dungeon.
[3:24] The second half of the dungeon
[3:25] introduces entirely new add packs with
[3:27] the most notable enemy being void
[3:29] terrors who will cast terror wave, a
[3:31] mass fear that will almost always lead
[3:33] to a wipe if it resolves.
[3:35] No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Wait, wait,
[3:37] wait wait.
[3:38] Wait, wait, wait, [screaming] wait,
[3:39] wait. They also put out consuming void
[3:41] debuffs. These guys are prio CC, kick,
[3:44] and kill targets. Shadow rift void
[3:46] callers will spawn adds and deal massive
[3:48] AoE damage with consuming shadows. This
[3:50] ability can be LoS'd, so if you want,
[3:52] you can take him in a corner so your
[3:53] group can hide.
[3:55] The last big add in this area is the
[3:56] Devouring Tyrants, which have a massive
[3:58] heal absorb tank buster. They also throw
[4:00] out void bombs that deal AoE damage
[4:02] around chosen players, so keep a safe
[4:03] distance from friends. Once clearing the
[4:05] room, Gemellus will appear. This
[4:07] oversized jellyfish will triplicate
[4:09] twice throughout the fight. Once in the
[4:11] three targets at the beginning of the
[4:12] fight, and again at 50% health to five
[4:15] targets. These adds will occasionally
[4:17] put on a massive absorb shield that need
[4:19] to be removed by the players with
[4:20] Norgannon's link. Each player is tied to
[4:22] one specific jelly indicated by a red
[4:24] arrow on the floor. Move over to your
[4:26] indicated jellyfish and touch them ASAP.
[4:28] Usually not good advice.
[4:30] The jellyfish will also attempt to pull
[4:31] players in, but there's no indication
[4:33] which jellyfish will target you, so try
[4:35] not to be too close to any of them.
[4:37] Headed into the final section, we have a
[4:39] nasty pull with two void callers before
[4:41] the final boss. Try and mark one to
[4:43] focus down to reduce the AoE damage.
[4:45] Degenerate, I mean, De Jentrius is the
[4:48] final and most punishing boss of the
[4:49] dungeon. The room is sectioned off into
[4:51] four quadrants. It's important to have a
[4:53] DPS in each of three sections and a tank
[4:55] and healer in the fourth. Splitting the
[4:57] group up is crucial for dealing with the
[4:59] main mechanic, Unstable Void Essence,
[5:01] which bounces from zone to zone and
[5:03] needs to be soaked by the player in that
[5:04] area before it drops. Basically, a
[5:06] volleyball fight. This boss requires a
[5:09] lot of personal responsibility, and if
[5:10] someone dies, it is absolutely necessary
[5:13] for the tank to take over that player's
[5:14] section to continue soaking.
[5:16] Additionally, players will spew out
[5:18] entropy orbs in the indicated direction.
[5:20] So, it's important to try not to snipe
[5:22] someone who's soaking. If you do get hit
[5:24] by an orb, it's okay. It's much more
[5:26] important to not miss the soak. Lastly,
[5:28] the tank will receive a nasty dot
[5:30] through the tank buster, Hulking
[5:31] Fragment, which needs to be dispelled.
[5:33] But, since it drops area denial, wait
[5:35] until the tank backs up a bit before
[5:37] dispelling them.
[5:39] Next up, we have My'sara's Caverns, and
[5:41] let me tell you, they really did not
[5:42] hold back with enemy diversity. There
[5:44] are so many different types of mobs, and
[5:46] right off the bat, we of course have a
[5:48] big lust pull. This first pull is wildly
[5:51] chaotic, and things can often get out of
[5:52] hand super quickly. There are head
[5:54] hunters disengaging to cast hook snare
[5:56] and throw spear, and an elephant who
[5:58] casts roar, a massive AoE damage button
[6:00] that also interrupts and silences
[6:01] casters. Additionally, berserkers will
[6:04] of course, well, berserk, dealing lots
[6:06] of tank damage, which is a good soothe
[6:08] target. AoE CC, stuns, interrupts, and
[6:11] grips are absolutely needed here, and
[6:13] the elephant should be your main prior
[6:15] target.
[6:16] From this first pull, you can either go
[6:17] left or right, with the main goal of
[6:19] freeing eight of the prisoners on your
[6:20] way to the first boss.
[6:22] Both paths have the same adds just with
[6:24] different layouts. Notably, there are
[6:26] hexbound eagles with a channeled frontal
[6:27] and shredding talons, so make sure not
[6:29] to stand in this. This visual is not
[6:31] easy to see, so look out for the cast
[6:33] and channel bar to help locate the bird.
[6:35] Regardless of which side you or your
[6:36] tank chooses to go, I recommend
[6:38] incorporating these huts in the route.
[6:40] Inside, there is soup, which each player
[6:42] can drink for 3% leech and avoidance.
[6:44] Nice. Likewise, each side has a hexbound
[6:46] guardian, which I would recommend
[6:47] skipping. They cast magma surge, which
[6:50] blasts a fiery beam towards a player and
[6:52] anyone in between. They also have an
[6:53] aura which blasts out damage constantly,
[6:56] and a dispel.
[6:58] Bears here will stack damage on the
[7:00] tank, so kiting will definitely be
[7:01] required at higher levels. Oh, kite
[7:03] tanking, when will you ever go away?
[7:06] Ritual hexers have, well, a hex cast.
[7:09] Hexers hex, berserkers berserk, makes
[7:11] sense. Umbral shadowbinders are another
[7:13] caster. Didn't they say they were going
[7:14] to be less casters? Anyways, these guys
[7:17] channel shrink onto a player who will
[7:19] get crushed if stepped on by another
[7:20] party member. Lastly, there are dread
[7:22] soul eaters that will throw out frogs.
[7:24] That's right, frogs, that need to be
[7:25] avoided. Finally, after going through a
[7:28] Super Smash Bros. roster of characters,
[7:30] we roll on to our first boss. This duo
[7:32] does not share health and must be killed
[7:34] at the same time. Murkidan will throw
[7:36] out freezing traps at players, so dodge
[7:37] these. He will also cast a frontal
[7:39] targeted at player, so isolate whoever
[7:41] is targeted. Murkidan will also
[7:43] disengage and knock back the tank, so
[7:45] make sure not to get hit into a freezing
[7:46] trap. His bird bud, Nekrax, will throw
[7:49] out AoE disease rot damage. Nekrax will
[7:51] also cast carrion sweep, in which he
[7:53] will charge at a player and knock them
[7:54] comically high into the air.
[8:04] The main target of this ability can step
[8:06] into a freezing trap to negate the hit
[8:07] and stun the big dumb bird. Remember all
[8:09] those ads we learned about in the first
[8:11] section? Forget about them. We have an
[8:13] entirely new set of undead ads after the
[8:15] first boss. Grim skirmishers have a
[8:17] purgeable shield worth half of their
[8:19] health, but be careful with mass dispel
[8:20] as they do do group-wide damage when
[8:22] depleted. Restless gnarlwood does AoE
[8:25] damage on each melee hit and has a tank
[8:27] buster. Restless warriors will stack
[8:29] dread slash and will attempt to
[8:30] reanimate upon death, which needs to be
[8:32] interrupted. This area is super
[8:34] dangerous for your tank, so healers,
[8:36] beware. Lastly, there are tormented
[8:38] shades which will cast spirit realm,
[8:40] which should be interrupted and
[8:41] dispelled. We then come across the mini
[8:43] boss of the dungeon, Rokzal, who has two
[8:45] main abilities. The first is just purple
[8:47] avenger, so avoid this, and the second
[8:50] is ritual sacrifice, which will place a
[8:52] player on the altar and attempt to
[8:54] sacrifice them. Brutal. This can be
[8:56] immune or dispelled via root removal,
[8:58] such as freedom or tyrant's lost. The
[9:01] next set of ads includes a new bound
[9:03] defender with another insane amount of
[9:05] abilities. They have an AoE damage on
[9:07] each melee hit and will also cast
[9:09] reflecting funnel as well as tornadoes
[9:11] that will knock you back in the most
[9:12] annoying way possible. In this area, try
[9:14] to avoid the souls as they will root you
[9:16] in place, as well as the bats as they
[9:17] will cast an AoE silence.
[9:19] The last enemy we have here is the
[9:21] hollow soul render, which will cast
[9:22] frost nova that roots nearby players.
[9:25] From there, we have the second boss,
[9:26] Fordragon, which I will let my good
[9:28] friend Blair explain.
[9:29] You got to make your ghosts kiss. Not
[9:31] all at once. Thank you, Blair.
[9:33] Players targeted by rest phantoms need
[9:35] to make their ghosts touch each other,
[9:37] which applies two dots. Once that falls
[9:39] off, the other two targeted players
[9:41] touch their ghosts. After every even
[9:43] cast of Rest Phantoms, the boss will
[9:45] jump into the middle and channel AoE
[9:47] damage and throw around balls. Break the
[9:49] shield to end the intermission, and the
[9:51] only other mechanic is Unmake, which is
[9:52] a frontal, so make sure to avoid it.
[9:55] For this next part, I recommend skipping
[9:56] as much of this section as possible, as
[9:58] the mini boss at the end of the bridge
[10:00] throws down orbs that can easily knock
[10:02] you off.
[10:03] WHAT AN IDIOT.
[10:06] GOD DAMN IT. ONCE YOU GET CLOSER TO HIM,
[10:09] he'll deal massive sonic damage, so kill
[10:10] him quickly. Afterwards, we are on to
[10:13] the final boss, Rock Tool. Rock Tool
[10:15] deals passive damage and spawns circles
[10:17] throughout the fight. His main mechanic
[10:18] is Crush Soul, in which he will leap to
[10:20] three targets quickly to drop three Soul
[10:22] Bind Totems, which will channel damage
[10:23] into players and drag them closer. Make
[10:25] sure to drop these close enough to
[10:27] cleave down. Tanks deal with Spirit
[10:29] Breaker, which will knock you back and
[10:31] drop a massive area denial. Make sure to
[10:33] drop this in the corner to both prevent
[10:35] the knockback and keep the area open.
[10:37] The intermission of the fight happens
[10:39] when he casts Soul Rending Roar, which
[10:40] deals increased damage for each alive
[10:42] totems, making them even more of a prio
[10:44] kill. You will be sent, once again, back
[10:46] across the bridge. Interrupt adds along
[10:48] the way to clear the way and gain a
[10:50] speed buff and damage buff. Rush back to
[10:53] the boss and blow him up.
[10:56] Next up, we have Nexus Point Xenix,
[10:57] which starts in a big open room, and
[10:59] that's it. You guessed it, a great first
[11:02] pull up.
[11:03] This strangely shaped dungeon is split
[11:05] into Arcane, Void, and Light. And the
[11:07] first pull has representatives from all
[11:08] three. The Void enemy is Scrounders,
[11:11] which are incidental adds that will jump
[11:12] onto another mob at half health,
[11:14] granting them an absorb shield, and can
[11:16] be removed via CC. For our Arcane
[11:19] representatives, we have Shadow Guard
[11:20] Defenders, who will stack armor decrease
[11:22] and heal absorbs with each melee through
[11:24] Null Sunder. These stacks can be removed
[11:26] by healing off the absorb, so healers
[11:28] might need to pay a special attention to
[11:30] their tanks in this first pull. right
[11:32] Arcanists have a super important cast,
[11:34] transference. This will cause all
[11:36] healing done to a player to be
[11:37] redirected to the Arcanist, which is
[11:39] obviously very bad. Not being able to
[11:41] heal the affected player means they
[11:43] might need external defensive {slash}
[11:45] absorbs. Lastly, we have our light
[11:47] representative, the lingering images,
[11:49] aka mini Aluraxion. These guys throw out
[11:52] dots and a really dangerous tank buster.
[11:54] This can be especially dangerous with
[11:56] stacks of null sunder, so make sure to
[11:58] plan defensives accordingly. From this
[12:00] first room, you can either head left or
[12:02] right first, but you'll need to go both
[12:03] ways eventually, so let's just head left
[12:05] to the arcane section for now. We have
[12:07] our familiar defenders and Arcanists
[12:09] from the first pull, but also a new
[12:10] lieutenant add, the circuit seers. These
[12:13] guys will cast core spark overload,
[12:15] which will empower a nearby barrel to
[12:16] explode after 10 seconds, almost
[12:18] guaranteeing a wipe. This barrel needs
[12:20] to be killed ASAP, as it cannot be CC'd
[12:23] or interrupted in any other way. They'll
[12:25] also channel AoE damage with arcing
[12:27] damage, that's what it's called. Nope,
[12:30] that's not what it's called, it's called
[12:31] arcane mana. Whatever, I'm keeping it
[12:33] in. The other new notable mob in this
[12:35] area are the flux engineers, who drop a
[12:36] debuff that deals damage when the player
[12:38] moves. So, if you have this, stand
[12:40] still. They also drop barrels. The last
[12:43] notable part of this section before
[12:44] moving on to the boss is don't cross
[12:46] these lasers, obvious, but less obvious
[12:48] is that warlock gateways don't work.
[12:50] However, rogues and engineers can
[12:52] disable them permanently, so that could
[12:55] vary up the route.
[12:56] These core sparks deal massive damage if
[12:58] you stand in them and grant haste, but
[13:00] straight up they are not worth it, as
[13:02] they'll just kill you before you get any
[13:03] meaningful buff.
[13:05] Core right Kaz'raj, the first boss, will
[13:07] section off the area quickly with lay
[13:09] line array, which needs to be removed by
[13:11] whatever player gets the reflux charge
[13:13] debuff. When active, the debuff player
[13:15] will see the pink lines change to blue.
[13:17] If you're color blind,
[13:19] um
[13:21] I don't know.
[13:23] Good luck.
[13:24] Make sure to hit the most amount of
[13:26] lines possible, so stand in the
[13:27] intersection of any lines.
[13:29] Flux collapse will also shoot out
[13:31] circles underneath the targeted player
[13:32] and leave behind arcane spill, so move
[13:34] out of these as they spawn underneath
[13:36] you. Once the boss reaches 100 energy,
[13:38] he will throw a massive ball at a
[13:40] player, so try and bait this into a good
[13:42] spot as it will knock all players back a
[13:44] significant amount and you want to avoid
[13:46] anyone getting hit into the lasers. It
[13:48] will also leave a huge heal absorb on
[13:50] players, so healers plan accordingly.
[13:52] After the boss is downed, players need
[13:54] to channel the conduit behind the boss
[13:55] to be returned to the first room where
[13:57] you can start heading to the next wing,
[13:58] the void wing.
[14:00] In this section, when some ads die, they
[14:02] will spawn smudges that will inch
[14:04] towards dormant dreadflails and channel
[14:06] whatever health they have remaining into
[14:08] them. You do not want these guys to wake
[14:10] up, so kill the smudges ASAP. Grand
[14:12] nullifiers are the main casters in this
[14:14] wing who will cast nullify that will
[14:16] chunk DPS, so make sure to kick it. They
[14:18] also spawn these circles that will, hmm,
[14:21] let me see. Oh yeah, fear you. Hence the
[14:24] giant fear symbol. Cursed void callers
[14:26] burst upon death with creeping void.
[14:29] Dust crate herald will post dark
[14:30] beckoning which sends out tiny void
[14:32] walkers that float outwards dealing
[14:34] damage upon contact with players. They
[14:36] also channel damage with entropic leech
[14:38] which can be ended early if the healing
[14:40] absorb is removed. Null sentinels will
[14:41] cast dread bellow which is an AoE damage
[14:44] curse and a knockback, so make sure not
[14:46] to get knocked in the nearby packs. They
[14:48] also have a tank buster. The last enemy
[14:50] is a dreadflail and you'll see why we
[14:52] don't want these Hades looking Mfers to
[14:53] wake up. All melees are frontals and
[14:56] flail storm turns him into a beyblade
[14:58] that hits a player and is definitely not
[15:00] a melee friendly mechanic. After three
[15:02] waves of enemies, core warden Nassarian
[15:04] will spawn with 60% health. She will
[15:06] cast eclipsing step which does damage in
[15:08] a huge radius, so run this out of the
[15:10] group. Additionally, she will use null
[15:12] vanguard that spawns a dreadflail and a
[15:14] nullifier. This is especially dangerous
[15:16] since the boss also has a tank buster
[15:18] that will leave you vulnerable. There is
[15:19] a massive 300% damage amp phase 30
[15:22] seconds into the fight and every 1
[15:23] minute afterwards, so plan accordingly.
[15:25] This happens when the wraith scene
[15:27] attacks the boss. Do not stand in this
[15:29] initial hit as it'll disorient and
[15:31] damage you, but stand in the light scar
[15:32] flare afterwards for the buff. This also
[15:35] does a ton of damage so healers might
[15:36] need big cool downs here. After the boss
[15:38] is dead, channel into the same conduit
[15:40] but don't hold your breath as you will
[15:42] immediately have to channel into another
[15:44] conduit. Oh yeah, gameplay. In this
[15:47] section you pretty much go from mini
[15:49] wraith scene to mini wraith scene with
[15:51] the most notable new ad being the light
[15:52] rod. These guys spam bolts like crazy
[15:55] and should be interrupted at any chance
[15:57] you get. They also throw out two magic
[15:58] debuffs which should be dispelled and
[16:00] healed. There are also these bats that
[16:02] blow up upon death dealing damage to
[16:03] players and healing enemies in the
[16:05] circle. Additionally, swarms of bugs
[16:07] will fixate players and melee them, so
[16:08] try to kite them through the pack.
[16:13] Once the two lingering images are killed
[16:15] on the platform, the real wraith scene
[16:17] will spawn. The main mechanic of this
[16:19] fight revolves around brilliant
[16:20] dispersion that spawns two fractured
[16:22] images on three different players for a
[16:24] total of six images per cast. These ads
[16:26] will occasionally use flicker to dash
[16:27] towards a player indicated by a circle
[16:29] and running into these images at any
[16:31] point in the fight will cause them to
[16:32] claw at you dealing damage and knocking
[16:34] you back. The intermission causes all
[16:36] fractured images to channel AoE damage.
[16:38] You must find the boss hidden within the
[16:40] images. The boss is the only one without
[16:42] horns. Additionally, hunters mark will
[16:44] stay on the real boss, but this might be
[16:46] patched out. Don't interrupt any of the
[16:49] fake bosses as interrupting the wrong
[16:52] one will cause massive AoE damage.
[16:55] Our last dungeon is my favorite of the
[16:57] four, Windrunner Spire. The initial room
[16:59] is a big open space perfect for a lust
[17:02] ball.
[17:03] The main casters in this pool are the
[17:05] restless stirs. They throw out spirit
[17:06] bolts as well as two dispel debuffs at a
[17:08] time. Dutiful groundskeepers will slowly
[17:11] build up sheer armor stacks with each
[17:12] melee. Spellguard Magus channel arcane
[17:14] salvo for AoE damage and at 50% they
[17:17] drop 99% damage reduction AoE effect.
[17:20] This is what can really stop DPS in
[17:22] their tracks as damage effectively
[17:24] cannot be done as long as enemies are in
[17:26] it. Use pushes, grips, and kite the pack
[17:28] out of these ASAP. We once again have a
[17:30] choice for which boss to go to first.
[17:32] Almost every group I've run with has
[17:34] gone to Emberdon first, so I'll go over
[17:35] that wing.
[17:37] Territorial Dragonhawks are the mob you
[17:39] need to know about and spread the word
[17:41] about. Fire spit channel will target one
[17:44] player and basically mark them for
[17:45] death. CC and kill these ASAP. This can
[17:48] only be stopped with a hard stop, not an
[17:51] interrupt. The next section is
[17:53] Arachnophobia/Crab
[17:55] Central with lots of poison sprays going
[17:57] out at once. There's also a mini boss in
[17:59] this section, the Apex legs, who has a
[18:01] tank buster and will leap to players
[18:03] dealing splash AoE damage, so loosely
[18:05] spread. Next, there is the mushroom
[18:06] section where little lashers are hidden
[18:08] around the bushes and make for a super
[18:10] fun high damage pull. Notably, there is
[18:12] a big bloated lasher that has a big AoE
[18:14] spore dispersal that buffs the nearby
[18:16] lashers. Soon enough, we're on to our
[18:18] first boss, Emberdon. This fight
[18:20] revolves around flaming updraft in which
[18:22] players will be targeted to drop flaming
[18:23] tornadoes after location after a few
[18:26] seconds. Bait this to the edge of the
[18:28] room and then move the second it comes
[18:29] out. This is important for the
[18:31] intermission for when the boss casts
[18:33] burning gale, pulling players towards
[18:35] him, pulsing heavy AoE damage, and
[18:36] rotating like a sausage to cast four
[18:38] fire breaths. This is where you need to
[18:40] use defensives, big healer cooldowns,
[18:42] and whatever you need to survive. Other
[18:44] than that, this boss has a tank buster
[18:46] with searing beak that leaves a dot, so
[18:48] be prepared for that. It's also worth it
[18:49] to mention that if you need to release
[18:51] any point before this, there's an item
[18:53] to click in the beginning that will give
[18:54] you a speed boost to get back. After
[18:56] Emberdon is defeated, click the portal
[18:57] to be sent back to the beginning and
[18:59] head down the other wing.
[19:01] In this next section, we have a few new
[19:02] adds. Wind runner soldiers will cast
[19:04] precise cut reducing healing done, so
[19:06] blood death knights beware. Ardent
[19:08] cutthroats will cast poison blades that
[19:10] cause them to stack poison on the tank
[19:11] and a nearby player, so make sure to
[19:13] interrupt this. The second interrupt
[19:15] target is the devoted warbringers who
[19:16] will cast pulsing shriek, which gives
[19:18] them a big absorb shield while they
[19:19] pulse heavy AoE damage.
[19:21] Break the shield and kick this channel
[19:23] ASAP as healers can't keep up with this
[19:24] damage. Lastly, there are flesh behemoth
[19:27] who will drop fetid spew to drop puddles
[19:28] of area denial and also have a tank
[19:30] buster. Soon enough, you're at the
[19:32] second boss, a duo encounter that once
[19:34] again does not share health, so make
[19:35] sure to cleave down evenly. Callous will
[19:37] cast curse of darkness, which is a curse
[19:39] dispel causes ghosts to fixate two
[19:41] players at a time. Kite this away and
[19:43] dispel if you can, otherwise CC these
[19:45] adds. She also spams bolt, so interrupt
[19:47] this when possible to prevent
[19:48] unnecessary damage. At 100 energy, she
[19:51] will channel debilitating shriek, which
[19:52] does increasingly more AoE damage. The
[19:54] only way to stop this cast is to bait
[19:56] the hook from the other boss to hit her,
[19:58] similar to necrotic wake. The player
[20:00] targeted will need to make sure to stand
[20:02] behind the boss and line up the arrow.
[20:04] And the tank should make sure the two
[20:05] bosses are close enough together going
[20:07] into the intermission. Anyone else in
[20:09] the path of the hook will intercept the
[20:11] hook. So, if you're not targeted, stay
[20:13] clear of the arrow. Latches other
[20:15] ability is splattering spew. Ew, gross.
[20:18] Which will drop puddles at player
[20:20] locations after a few seconds. So, bait
[20:22] these around the area. He also uses bone
[20:24] hack, a channeled tank buster, so make
[20:26] sure to have defensives for the duration
[20:27] of the cast. After the duo is defeated,
[20:30] click the portal once again to head
[20:31] back. Seriously, I feel like I'm playing
[20:33] Super Metroid with all this
[20:34] backtracking. Now, there'll be a new
[20:36] path open to the third boss. Swiftshot
[20:38] archers will shoot players in small on
[20:40] circles to avoid. The failings breakers,
[20:42] also known as chokewheel riders, will
[20:43] charge players with break rank, so take
[20:45] note of which way they are facing in
[20:47] order to dodge this attack. They also
[20:48] cast interrupting screech, which, you
[20:50] guessed it, will interrupt you. The next
[20:52] section has more ghosts, but now they're
[20:54] red, so you know they're angry. There
[20:56] are spectral axe throwers who will throw
[20:58] axes to apply bleeds. Phantasmal mystics
[21:00] will cast chain lightning, a must kick,
[21:02] and also attempt to cast blood lost at
[21:05] at
[21:05] health. Lastly, there are lingering
[21:07] marauders who will bayblade and might
[21:09] need to be CC'd if they're too much for
[21:11] your group. We are then on to our third
[21:13] boss, Commander Kro'lok. He will cast
[21:15] two reckless leaps back-to-back
[21:17] targeting the furthest player from him
[21:19] each time. This leaves a dot as well as
[21:21] a ton of debris circles around the area.
[21:23] Overlapping with the second leap circles
[21:25] is intimidating shout that will fear
[21:27] players not standing with other people.
[21:29] You only need to be near one other
[21:30] person, so ranged can go with ranged and
[21:32] melee with melee. At 66 and 33% health,
[21:35] the boss will go into an intermission
[21:36] with rallying bellow that does initial
[21:38] AoE damage and summons four haunting
[21:40] grunts, a phantasmal mystic, and a
[21:42] spectral axe thrower. During this
[21:44] intermission, the boss is immune and
[21:46] will fixate a player with bayblade.
[21:47] Killing the adds ends the intermission,
[21:49] so focus them down. Afterwards, you are
[21:51] sent right to the final boss, the
[21:53] restless heart.
[21:54] This boss revolves around managing the
[21:56] permanent dot of squall leap, which is
[21:57] removed by touching an arrow. Touching
[21:59] an arrow will fling you up into the air
[22:01] and leave a puddle at your feet, which
[22:02] can be removed later with gust shot. You
[22:04] should remove one stack of squall leap
[22:06] right away and use the arrow to remove
[22:08] another when bull's eye wind blast is
[22:10] cast so that you can get over the wave.
[22:13] Additionally, the boss will channel
[22:14] arrow rain, which follows a player, so
[22:16] aim this at a wall. There's also a tank
[22:17] buster with a large knockback, so make
[22:19] sure you are also hit into a wall so you
[22:21] aren't accidentally knocked into an
[22:22] arrow.
[22:24] So there you have it. Those are the four
[22:25] new dungeons coming up in Midnight
[22:26] Season 1. If you have any questions,
[22:28] feel free to leave a comment down below.

[22:33] a new zero to hero series. So make sure
