How to Master All 8 Dungeons: Midnight Season 1 M+ Full Walkthrough

[00:00] Hello guys, how's it going? My name is Y

[00:01] and this week, Midnight as an expansion

[00:03] got its biggest update yet with the

[00:05] Mythic Plus season finally officially

[00:08] launching, which opens up players to

[00:10] eight dungeons that can give you some of

[00:12] the best of the best gear available, as

[00:14] well as a Mythic Plus progression system

[00:16] filled with rewards, not only gear, but

[00:18] also mounts and other collectibles for

[00:20] you to obtain. For today's video, I

[00:22] wanted to do a full-on guide for all of

[00:24] the dungeons you're going to be facing

[00:25] up during the season 1 of Mythic Plus

[00:28] and go over all of the major mechanics

[00:29] that you're going to be encountering

[00:30] with a variety of different bosses from

[00:32] these dungeons to make sure that you're

[00:34] prepared before you even step foot into

[00:36] the Mythic Plus progression. I will also

[00:38] add chapter marks down below to make

[00:40] sure you can go back if you ever want to

[00:42] reference this video and reference any

[00:44] of the guides and you could just go back

[00:45] to the dungeons you're looking at. It's

[00:47] a lot of content to get into and I kind

[00:48] of want to dive into it as soon as

[00:50] possible. As you can see, this video is

[00:51] quite long. But with that being said, as

[00:53] always, if you guys do want to get

[00:54] regular updates regarding Midnight as an

[00:57] expansion, be sure to follow the channel

[00:58] and subscribe. But otherwise, let's dive

[01:02] right in.

[01:04] So, as far as the dungeons are

[01:06] concerned, I am going to go over them

[01:07] starting with some of the more recent

[01:09] editions of Midnight and then go over

[01:11] the new additions for the season. And

[01:13] the four midnight dungeons we have for

[01:15] season one is Madress of Cherus, Myazra

[01:17] Caverns, Nexus Pointenas, and Windrunner

[01:20] Spire. Starting with Madress Cherus,

[01:22] which is a pretty straightforward as far

[01:23] as bosses are concerned. The first boss

[01:26] is going to be Aronotron Kustos, who is

[01:28] going to do a number of abilities. As a

[01:30] tank, you have to watch out for

[01:31] Repulsion Slam because it's going to be

[01:32] a pretty hefty knockback. So, you want

[01:34] to make sure to clear out a portion of

[01:35] the room, big enough area where you

[01:37] can't get knocked to various spots.

[01:39] Arcane Expulsion is going to be his big

[01:41] ability, leaving puddles on the ground,

[01:43] which the tank can position the boss

[01:44] ahead of time. Try to usually put the

[01:46] boss over in the corners away from the

[01:48] middle of the room so the rest of the

[01:49] group has plenty of space to work with.

[01:51] The boss is also going to cast

[01:52] periodically shackles. Usually, right

[01:55] after he does the arcane expulsion, a

[01:57] puddle in the ground. This is dispel

[01:59] effect, but also root breaker. So, if

[02:00] you have a way to remove roots, this

[02:02] would also be very helpful. But, as long

[02:03] as you're not getting rooted in a

[02:05] puddle, you should be for the most part

[02:06] good to go. His big ability is refueling

[02:09] protocol when the boss stands still and

[02:11] starts consuming mana orbs drawing him

[02:13] closer to himself. You basically want to

[02:15] make sure none of the mana orbs reach

[02:17] the boss because it's going to give him

[02:18] a bunch of damage but also it's going to

[02:20] do group by damage too. You don't want

[02:22] that. But the orbs need to be soaked

[02:24] periodically staggered because they will

[02:26] build up a damage stack on you. Ideally,

[02:28] the tank should have enough defenses to

[02:29] soak a bunch of them. But as a player,

[02:31] if you want to soak them early and then

[02:33] stop for a little bit until the debuff

[02:34] drops off, then soak some more

[02:36] periodically staggering them. That is

[02:37] the best way of going about it. During

[02:39] the shadow boss also takes additional

[02:41] damage, so if you have any cool downs,

[02:42] it might be a good idea to save it for

[02:44] that phase. Next boss is Sarinel Sun

[02:46] Lash, who has a handful of mechanics

[02:48] that are all really pretty easy to deal

[02:50] with for the most part. You got yourself

[02:52] the uh the dot spread with runic mark.

[02:54] Essentially, when you hit him with runic

[02:55] mark, you get a red circle under him.

[02:57] you want to spray it away from other

[02:59] players in order to reduce AOE damage

[03:01] taken. The next ability he's going to

[03:02] use following up right after is a

[03:04] suppression zone. You will actually be

[03:06] taking your rune marks into suppression

[03:07] zone to remove the dot, but every time

[03:09] you do so, it does AOE damage and makes

[03:11] a bunch of puddles on the ground. So,

[03:13] you want to make sure you stagger the

[03:14] removal unless a healer has some kind of

[03:16] a big cool down available for this.

[03:18] Hastening ward is going to be another

[03:19] ability that the boss is going to get.

[03:21] Dispel it if you can, otherwise it's

[03:23] going to be a decent bit of additional

[03:24] damage that the tank has to deal with.

[03:26] When the boss casts wave of silence,

[03:27] which he'll do after about two runic

[03:29] mark spreads, eventually it was going to

[03:32] do a ton of AoE damage, silencing all

[03:34] players. However, anybody standing in

[03:36] suppression zone during wave of silence

[03:38] as it goes off is going to be in the

[03:39] clear. So, you basically just want to

[03:41] dip into the suppression zone when the

[03:43] wave of silence goes out and use

[03:44] suppression zone to clear off runic

[03:46] marks. Jillis is essentially a big

[03:49] stupid jellyfish boss. He doesn't really

[03:51] do a lot, but he can still be just as

[03:54] deadly as any other boss out there. He

[03:56] doesn't have like any tank mechanics

[03:58] whatsoever. He just kind of floats

[03:59] around and does damage passively more

[04:00] than anything. His main mechanic is

[04:02] triplicate where he splits and creates

[04:04] versions of himself that will also um

[04:08] share health. He does this at the

[04:09] beginning of the encounter and also does

[04:11] this again at 50%. All these like clones

[04:15] of the boss will share health. So the

[04:16] more of them are out, the more cleave

[04:17] damage you can do to the boss. But the

[04:20] more of these jellyfish are out, the

[04:21] more mechanics they're all going to be

[04:22] able to do because they copy the boss's

[04:24] mechanics. Mechanics such as Neuralink,

[04:26] for example, where your player will be

[04:27] selected, neural link to one of the

[04:29] jellyfish. You got to run to the

[04:30] jellyfish to clear the debuff. You'll

[04:32] see a big spotlight and a big red arrow

[04:34] for the ad or the boss you have to run

[04:36] to and just touch them in order to be

[04:38] able to clear the debuff. So, the more

[04:40] of them you have, the more players need

[04:41] to do the mechanic. Cosmic stink is

[04:43] another one. One of the jellyfish is

[04:45] going to pick a player, sting them, and

[04:46] leave a puddle on the ground. The more

[04:48] jellyfish they are, the more cosmic

[04:49] stings they are. It does more damage and

[04:51] makes even more puddles. Astral grasp is

[04:54] going to be another ability. After some

[04:55] while, the bosses and all the other

[04:57] jellyfish are going to pick a player and

[04:58] start pulling him closer. You basically

[05:00] want to make sure you don't get pulled

[05:01] on top of the jellyfish cuz it does a

[05:03] lot of damage. But even the pulling

[05:04] effect does damage as well. So, you just

[05:06] want to run against it. This is going to

[05:07] be one of those phases where you may

[05:09] need some defensives. The Gentrius is

[05:11] going to be another boss that has very

[05:13] very specific mechanics that need to be

[05:14] developed in a very specific way, but

[05:16] they're all straightforward. First of

[05:17] all, any lines he places on the ground,

[05:20] don't ever cross the lines. Just don't

[05:21] touch them whatsoever. You just have to

[05:23] play around with making sure there's

[05:24] enough players on either side of the

[05:26] boss arena to make sure to do this orb

[05:28] catch. It's called unstable void or

[05:31] essence. And he throws out a ball

[05:33] essentially, and you got to stand under

[05:34] it in order to bounce it. You got to

[05:35] bounce it four times in order to remove

[05:37] the effect. Each bounce does a bit of

[05:39] shadow damage, but if that orb ever

[05:40] lands on the ground, it's pretty much a

[05:42] wipe. So, this is something that needs

[05:44] to be done throughout the encounter. You

[05:46] also need to be very, very careful to

[05:47] position around during entropy as they

[05:49] get the debuff. It does a bit of damage,

[05:51] which the healer needs to heal. And at

[05:52] the end of it, it shoots out orbs in

[05:54] random locations. So, you got to make

[05:56] sure you position in decent spot where

[05:57] other players are given enough room to

[05:59] be able to avoid this orb. Though, that

[06:01] also tends to overlap a lot with stable

[06:03] void essence. So, sometimes you can't

[06:05] really do that. You just basically every

[06:07] player in the group has to have keep

[06:08] their head on a swivel for this mechanic

[06:10] specifically. The take is also going to

[06:12] have an extra ability of hulking

[06:14] fragment which will deal large AOE

[06:16] damage. So you want to position the spot

[06:17] where other players are not. There's

[06:19] also going to be a dispel mechanic where

[06:20] you need to run the debuff out, get

[06:22] dispelled, it drops a puddle and you

[06:24] want to make sure to manage the puddle

[06:25] in a very consistent area away from

[06:27] other players the entire fight.

[06:31] The next dungeon is Msara Caverns and

[06:33] this only has three bosses, but all of

[06:34] them have quite a decent bit of

[06:36] complexity to them. Every single one of

[06:37] them has some uh unique element behind

[06:39] the fights. Murin and Necrax are

[06:42] basically a dual boss and they have a

[06:43] number of abilities. Migin periodical

[06:46] will do the sleep ability. Flanking

[06:47] spear on the tank which has a knock back

[06:49] and a bleed effect. So that's something

[06:50] you have to be watch out for. He also

[06:52] drops freezing traps which you don't

[06:53] want to stay up on at least yet. You

[06:55] will want to save them for a specific

[06:57] mechanic. The boss also periodically

[06:58] cast barrage, picking a random player.

[07:00] If he does pick you, you just want to

[07:02] make sure the barrage is faced away from

[07:03] the group and you'll just take a lot of

[07:04] damage while the barrage is on you.

[07:07] Necrax also has a set of his own

[07:08] abilities such as being able to spread

[07:10] diseases which will just deal additional

[07:12] damage over time. If you have a dispel

[07:14] disease removal, those will be very very

[07:16] helpful to reduce the damage here. FedEd

[07:18] Quilltorm is all pretty easy to dodge.

[07:19] Avoid the big circle and then the little

[07:21] circles that follow afterwards. But when

[07:23] Necrax uses carry and swoop, he picks a

[07:26] player to charge at them to swoop past

[07:27] them, you want to make sure that that

[07:29] player or somebody in front of him

[07:30] stands on the freeze and trap in order

[07:32] to be set into a block of ice. So when

[07:34] the boss charges through the block, he

[07:36] gets stunned, disrupting this whole

[07:38] mechanic because otherwise it does a ton

[07:39] of damage. Also, Migrain and Necrax, if

[07:42] either boss dies first, they do a

[07:44] special ability. Mirain will attempt to

[07:46] revive his own pet and he'll put the

[07:49] bird back up to 35% health. If the bird

[07:51] is alive first but Merchant dies, the

[07:53] bird goes into beast shell wrath

[07:55] enraging doing more damage as the fight

[07:56] goes on. So you want to keep their

[07:58] health as even as possible. But I think

[07:59] the safer kill is probably going to be

[08:01] necra if you if you he has a lot of

[08:03] health. I think Mergin summoning the

[08:05] bird back up and resonate probably is

[08:07] really really bad. Unless the bird and

[08:08] mer low then just kill the bird first.

[08:11] Then play Merin after before he gets his

[08:12] cast off. The next boss is war daza.

[08:16] This boss will spawn phantoms throughout

[08:18] the encounter that can be dealt with a

[08:20] number of ways. You can either CC these

[08:22] phantoms, but then they'll just linger

[08:23] forever. You can kill them in order to

[08:25] remove them, or you can have two

[08:26] phantoms run into each other as they

[08:28] will be constantly following players, so

[08:30] you can aim them at one another to

[08:32] remove both of them. Though, these

[08:33] phantoms will leave puddles on the

[08:35] ground when they do pop. Definitely not

[08:37] a good idea to have a tank running

[08:38] through it. For a short bit of time in

[08:40] beta, tanks were doing that, but they

[08:42] made sure the tanks do not do that as a

[08:43] mechanic. as a tank. If you do have to

[08:45] run through one for any reason, make

[08:47] sure you have a heavy defensive for it.

[08:49] Otherwise, the boss is going to cast on

[08:51] make, which is just a dodge frontal

[08:52] ability. You can pretty much easily

[08:54] avoid it. The big ability that the boss

[08:57] is going to do is after about two sets

[08:59] of phantoms, they'll channel necrotic

[09:01] convergence, placing themselves in the

[09:02] middle of the boss arena with a fairly

[09:04] heavy shield, creating all necrotic orbs

[09:06] around them that will deal additional

[09:07] damage and radiating damage to players

[09:10] over time, growing in intensity. This is

[09:12] where you want to DPS the shield as fast

[09:14] as possible. And if you have any cool

[09:15] downs for it, that would be the best

[09:16] time to send it while dodging orbs

[09:19] because the damage ramp up here is going

[09:20] to be very very heavy. Otherwise, the

[09:22] fight is straightforward. Ratul is a

[09:25] dancing boss. He has special abilities

[09:27] in a very very specific order that are

[09:29] all very pred predictable. At the very

[09:31] beginning, RTL is going to do a tank

[09:33] leap, which will leave a puddle on the

[09:35] ground. The best way for tanks to deal

[09:36] with that is to put the tank leap

[09:38] towards like a wall and then try to run

[09:40] towards the center of the boss arena to

[09:42] prepare for the next mechanic. Shortly

[09:44] after the tank leap, the boss will

[09:45] target three players, leaping on them.

[09:47] And you want to make sure you don't take

[09:48] those leaps too far out. You can

[09:50] actually kind of stay close together.

[09:51] Every one of those leaps is going to

[09:52] spawn a totem that will begin this

[09:54] channel. They'll start drawing players

[09:56] to them. The closer the totems are

[09:58] together, the faster you can cleave them

[09:59] 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
