Strategy

Important Spells: Bad Breath or Flying Sardine, White Wind Eerie Soundwave, Diamondback, Exuviation

Aetherial Mimicry is highly recommended and there are multiple options for what role to mimic. Mimicking a healer is a safe choice as it increases the healing potency of Exuviation. This fight requires a lot of healing, so using it to heal throughout the fight reduces the amount of times one would have to use White Wind with its significant mana cost. Damage over time spells like the Bristle enhanced Song of Torment and Aqua Breath are useful, as much of this fight involves waiting for Gogo to lose his Mimic passive or is spent dodging his attacks. Magic Hammer is also useful for its mana recovery utility.

Act 1

Mimic: Gogo gains the Mimic buff, meaning any spell targeted at him will allow him to respond with an attack that almost guarantees death. Simply not attacking him during this time and waiting the buff out will let you continue the fight. Note that you can still cast spells that are not targeted at him; healing spells like Exuviation or White Wind, buffing spells like Bristle or Whistle, or other miscellaneous spells like Toad Oil and Diamondback do not cause him to respond.

Mimicked Sap: A large AoE attack appears, centered around you. His first cast of this is slow and gives you plenty of time to move out, but is always followed by two more casts of Mimicked Sap that are much quicker, so always being on the move during the following casts is recommended. Using Sprint allows you to weave quick spells like Sonic Boom in between these attacks while dodging.

Mimicked Imp Song: This spell is interruptible, so interrupting it with Bad Breath or Flying Sardine is recommended. Bad Breath has a longer cast time but inflicts a few debuffs on Gogo, so while it is more useful, it requires you to use it quickly. If you do not interrupt it, you are damaged and turned into an Imp, unable to take any actions. Due to the attack that follows, this results in guaranteed death.

Mimicked Doom Impending: After a lengthy cast, this spell inflicts Incurable and Doom. Having full health once this spell is cast means the Doom will be removed, so healing yourself to full with spells like White Wind or Exuviation before the cast is finished is recommended. Since this inflicts Incurable, you will not be able to heal yourself to full to avoid the Doom afterward the spell is cast.
