Tam-Tara Deepcroft (Hard) Guide

Liavinne

For tanks, you do nothing. Just hold onto the boss and keep his attention. The gimmick is all on the DPS/Healer. A horde of zombies will be summoned and start chasing one of the players other than the tank. DO NOT ATTACK THEM, kite them. At some point, he will put an orange/red arrow-like mark over someone's head (again, not the tank). That person needs to run in to the horde. This unleashes and AoE that will kill the zombies for you. It looks like you get two chances. If you kill a zombie yourself, the party takes a huge damage resistance debuff that lasts one minute and stacks up to 8 times. If you don't make the boss kill the zombies with his AoE on the first two attempts, you will take the debuff from the remaining zombies a few seconds later after he does his next attack. Go all out on damage during the breaks between hordes.

Do not attack the adds. The person with the red arrow mark should go to the person being attacked by the adds.

Players should group up in the middle so the player targeted by the adds will always be next to the player marked by the arrow

Spare Body

The friendly NPC, Paiyo Reiyo, is trapped in the middle and you must protect him. The boss has a lot of HP so this can take a while. The key is to stop the guy in the middle from taking any damage. Any time he takes damage the boss will grow bigger and probably gain some sort of buff. If he dies, the boss does a full party wipe attack. At some point these purple balls of energy will come out of the portals and head towards the NPC. You need to have everyone run through them to prematurely detonate them so he doesn't take any damage. Later, there will be two larger balls instead of the bunch of smaller ones. They seem to move slow enough so just knock them out. The boss also has an AoE attack that will leave a danger zone on the floor that causes bleeding type DoT. I was able to keep it on the edge of the map but really be careful not to let the NPC get hit by it.

Intercept the orbs spawned by the portals at the edge of the boss room. Do not let the orbs reach the center of the room!

Avere Bravearm

Avere Bravearm will summon demons outside the arena that pop up and make AoE attacks. The casting time for these is really fast so learn to start moving before they attack. They all seem to converge on the tank as well. After a while, a bunch of crawling zombies similar to the Siren fight will appear from the edges and make their way towards the center of the room. The center will cause bleeding damage so stay clear. If any of them reach the circle, a rune on the floor will light up. The more runes light up, the stronger the boss's "Red Wedding" attack will hit and you could face a wipe.

Do not let crawling zombie adds reach the center of the room. They will spawn at the edge, kill them ASAP!
