[00:00] Hi! I’m Hazel, and this is a guide to the Sszorak&nbsp; fight in The Venomous Abyss on Normal and Heroic&nbsp;&nbsp; difficulty. It’s gonna get windy and the&nbsp; dream today is to not get knocked off.
[00:12] Apex Predator is a fun combo for everybody..&nbsp; He’s gonna spit out two Ravage Cones,&nbsp;&nbsp; two Mutilate group soaks and a tempest in a random&nbsp; order. Tempest fires out these tornadoes to dodge,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:24] that’s easy enough. Ravage and Mutilate are both&nbsp; frontal cones, and the tanks need to trade the&nbsp;&nbsp; boss to avoid taking more than one of each&nbsp; cone per tank. Taunting will live update the&nbsp;&nbsp; bosses target,, just make sure you each tank&nbsp; one ravage and one mutilate. Other players&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:39] should get into the green Mutilate cone&nbsp; to help soak, but stay out of the ravage. He also stacks up Corroding Venom on his tank,&nbsp; you can swap around six or so stacks of that.
[00:51] Raging Crosswinds assigns players to be knocked&nbsp; back in one of two directions. You can see which&nbsp;&nbsp; way you’re headed from this indicator. You&nbsp; need to find a player getting knocked in the&nbsp;&nbsp; other direction and then position yourselves&nbsp; so that you two clonk together in midair.
[01:08] Now at the start of the fight, you’ll see air&nbsp; balls in three of the tunnels around the room.&nbsp;&nbsp; One has one ball, another has two and a third&nbsp; has three air balls in it. That tells us both&nbsp;&nbsp; where the wind pushback in the intermission is&nbsp; going to come from, and in what order. 1, 2, 3.
[01:26] During the fight, a few people will get marked&nbsp; to drop Viscous Cysts. You want to drop one of&nbsp;&nbsp; those opposite of each wind ball. So if the&nbsp; winds are coming from here, here and here,&nbsp;&nbsp; you need at least one cyst placed here, here and&nbsp; here. Ideally someone smart can drop raid markers&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:44] at your three spots at the top of the fight, and&nbsp; make sure you drop at least one cyst on each. you’ll all get pushed back. When someone touches&nbsp; the cyst, it’ll knock everyone away from it,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:59] which should keep you on the platform. We do&nbsp; this three times, then we’re back to phase one. On Normal, that’s it! On Heroic, the Mutilate soak&nbsp; cone from the combo attack gets a big debuff, so&nbsp;&nbsp;
[02:11] now nobody should be taking two of those. Assign&nbsp; a group 1 and a group 2 to safely soak that. and will force you to move around the room a bit.
[02:27] I’ve got more raid guides if you want ‘em&nbsp; and have a wonderful, wonderful day. Bye!
