  • Leave the sixth end behind: 0/1
  • Meet the eighth end: 0/1

Bosses

Players should be aware that stepping in any of the puddles on the ground in the Pestilent Sands or the Greuloff Pillars will debuff them with a potent poison Damage over Time debuff called Toxicosis, which deals about 10 000 damage per second until they step out.

Note that failing any mechanics in these fights will result in the player who failed them receiving a two minute stacking Vulnerability Up debuff.

  • Miasmata: Roomwide AoE that additionally spawns AoE circles around the arena. These AoEs will move across the arena in the direction of the wind, so players must position themselves to avoid them. If hit, a player will receive the Necrosis debuff, which must be cleansed, otherwise it can kill them.
  • Cough Up: Drops 3 sets of AoEs on each player, spread apart to avoid overlapping. After the AoE circles players will receive a red arrow above their head, stack together to resolve the mechanic.
  • Wave of Nausea: A donut AoE around the boss.
  • Pox Flail: Tankbuster.
  • Blighted Water: Stack marker.
  • Befoulment: Targetted AoE circles, spread to avoid overlap.

Aggressive difficulty r6.png Peacekeeper

  • Decimation: Raid-wide AoE that also covers the outer part of the arena in fire.
  • Electromagnetic Repellant: The boss summons a field that fills its hitbox, that debuffs players with Electrocution and deals damage as long as they stand in it.
  • Order To Fire: Spawns a number of turrets around the boss, which then shoot line AoEs directly outward from the boss. The line AoEs converge at the edge of the boss's hitbox, leaving narrow cone safe-zones between the line AoEs between the boss's hitbox and the edge of the arena. Usually combined with a targeted AoE, so spread to avoid overlapping.
  • No Future: Spawns a pattern of targeting circles, which will hit every area of the arena at some point. Stand in areas that don't yet have targeting circles, or ones that spawned later, then move into ones that just exploded. This attack has two patterns: the AoEs will spawn under the boss and move outwards, or will start from outside the arena and move inwards. The hitbox under the boss is never a safe zone, so players should avoid standing there. If the AoEs spawn from the edge inward, players can identify the safe space and move into it. If they spawn from the center of the arena, players can stand at the point where the AoEs overlap, as the next ones to spawn will spawn outward from the first and not be touching. The attack will fire two sets of circles on the first time, and three sets per cast from the second cast onward. Each successive cast is rotated such that the areas that were initially safe in the prior cast are now targeting circles, requiring players to adjust their positioning.
  • Peacefire: Spawns AoEs that will keep rotating around the boss, avoid by rotating with the AoEs. Always cast alongside Electromagnetic Repellant, forcing players to stand in the area the circles rotate through. This can be cast alongside Order To Fire, requiring the players to find a position ahead of the rotating AoEs and within the narrow cone safe zones.
  • Eclipsing Echaust: Spawns AoE circles around the edges, with several gaps between them, then triggers a telegraphed knockback from the center of the room. Get knocked into a gap.
  • Elimination: Tankbuster. The boss fires a wide beam that will hit other players if they are too close, almost certainly killing them.

  • Warm Glow: Raid-wide AoE.
  • Pity: Tankbuster.
  • Prance: Boss jumps 4 times, dealing no damage, but dropping golden circular zones that will grow, then explode in the order they were spawned in. Move into one of the last two circles, then move into where the first circle was after it explodes.
  • Lifesbreath: The boss jumps to the edge of the arena, then shoots a line AoEs through the middle. After the line AoE, a line of butterflies will spawn in the same location, each one randomly facing one of the two sides of where the line was. After a short delay, the butterflies will fire a blast forward in the direction they are facing. Players must position themselves behind a butterfly to avoid the attack. Note that you can move through the line of butterflies before they fire. If hit by the butterflies player will receive the Doom debuff and must be healed up to full health to recover. The second cast of this is accompanied by Loving Embrace, making one have of the line unsafe to stand on.
  • Benevolence: Stack marker.
  • Loving Embrace: The boss will raise a glowing wing, then cleave that entire side of the stage from the middle of its hitbox outwards. Move to the other side to avoid.
  • Still Embrace: Targeted AoE circles, spread to avoid overlapping.
