Throne and Liberty: Complete Island of Terror Dungeon Guide
Starting the Dungeon: Coordinating the First Steps
When you enter the Island of Terror dungeon, your first task is to fly over to the right side and get ready to pull enemies. Have your tank lead the way and pull all the enemies in this area. Your party should interact with the Brazier located nearby—up to three players can channel the Brazier at the same time.
Once the Brazier is activated, pull the two nearby mobs to clear the area. Afterward, your party can engage with the first mini-boss.
Mini-Boss 1: Tyrant Mechanics
The first mini-boss fight is essentially a variation of the Tyrant encounter. Here’s what to expect:
· Basic Combat: Focus on dealing damage and keeping the boss under control.
· Stealth Phase: If the mini-boss goes into stealth, you’ll need to interact with the flower located near the boss. Make sure someone in your group (often the tank) handles the flower.
· Tank Respawn: After defeating the mini-boss, the tank can reset or respawn. Make sure the party stays coordinated before proceeding.
Once the first mini-boss is down, move on to the lizard near the merchant. This is a simple fight but should be done cautiously to avoid pulling additional mobs while you’re fighting.
Mini-Boss 2: Tips for Speedrunning
After defeating the lizard, proceed to engage the second mini-boss. The second mini-boss has a set of dangerous mechanics, so don’t rush too much. If you're aiming for a speedrun, you can skip certain packs to save time. However, be cautious, as skipping too much can lead to unintended pulls, which might overwhelm your group during the boss fight.
Boss Fight Preparation: Marking Flowers
Before you engage the main boss, you’ll want to mark certain flowers on the map to help with positioning later on. Use party pins to mark four flowers, and each member should place their personal pin on a flower. Typically, the tank will pick the flower closest to them, while melee DPS or ranged DPS can take care of other flowers around the map.
Why is this important? Later on, during the fight, fog will obscure your vision, and having the flowers pinned will make it much easier to find them again.
Boss Mechanics: Red Phase and Pushback
Once the boss's HP drops below 90%, it will trigger a red mechanic phase. Here’s how to handle it:
1. Red Circle Mechanic: The boss will create a ring around itself. You must stay inside the circle to avoid taking massive damage.
2. Pushback: The boss will also attempt to push players back. To avoid being thrown out of the safe zone, stay close to the boss, making sure you're within the circle.
3. Red Attacks: After the pushback, the boss will try to "eat" the nearest red flower on the map. If you're close to one, you'll need to press 1 to borrow (the dodge ability) to avoid being eaten.
4. Repeat the Dodge: The boss will repeat this mechanic, moving to the next nearest red flower and trying to consume it. Make sure to dodge each time—this will happen about 4-5 times.
Once the red phase ends, you can safely move on to the next set of mechanics.
Fury Attacks and Meteor Phases
After the red phase, the boss will initiate a Fury attack phase, followed by meteors.
1. Fury Attack: The boss will launch a series of three Fireballs at the tank. The tank will get pushed back by the third Fireball, so they’ll need to use their positioning and defensive skills (like Purifying Touch) to mitigate the damage.
2. Meteor Phase: After the Fury attacks, the boss will summon meteors aimed at three random players. The goal here is to avoid the direct hit from these meteors by moving around the map. However, it’s important that you stay near a Giza (flower), because you’ll need it to survive the next mechanic.
Tip: If you’re sprinting during the meteor phase, you can avoid taking damage completely. However, if you get hit by a meteor, you’ll suffer a burn debuff, which can lead to additional challenges in later phases.
1. Clearing Fog: Once the meteors hit, fog will spawn around the Giza. Players need to quickly go to the nearest Giza and clear all the fog around it. Even one tiny pixel of fog left around the Giza can cause a wipe, so be diligent!
Second Chance and Boiling Giza
The good news is that if you fail to clear the fog in time, you have a second chance—another meteor phase will trigger shortly after.
1. Boiling Giza: When the boss drops below 50% HP, there will be two Giza flowers instead of one. Make sure to position yourself in the middle to quickly access the Gizas. The tank should be the first one to drop to the Giza, as trying to land directly on it might cause a positioning glitch where you could “fly” off or miss it.
2. Clearing Fog Again: Once again, make sure to clear all the fog around the Giza. If you fail to clear the fog around a boiling Giza, you won’t see the eruption, and this can wipe the party.
Guardian Phase and Final Mechanics
After clearing the fog and dealing with the Giza mechanics, it’s time for the guardian phase. This is a good time to use your Guardian skill to provide additional protection to your party, especially during the final mechanics.
After the guardian phase, the boss will enter another red phase followed by another meteor phase. This pattern repeats until the boss is finally defeated.
Conclusion: Island of Terror Boss Fight Strategy
In conclusion, the Island of Terror dungeon requires a combination of team coordination, precise mechanics handling, and careful positioning to overcome the challenges presented by the two mini-bosses and the main boss. Here’s a quick recap of key tips:
· Pin flowers early on to make later phases easier.
· Stay inside the red circle during the red phase to avoid massive damage.
· Always dodge the fireballs from the boss during the Fury attacks.
· During the meteor phase, make sure to stay near a Giza to avoid the burn debuff.
