In this post, we’ll walk you through the fight step by step so your party can clear the dungeon with ease.
The Arena Setup
Before the fight starts, let’s take a moment to discuss the arena. The boss fight area is divided into three quadrants by beams of light. Each beam acts as a gate, with a spike at the end to open or close the gates by interacting with it. Here’s the key thing: don’t run into the light!
Assigning Gatekeepers
To successfully navigate this battle, designate two players to be gatekeepers. They will open and close the gates during the fight. The tank should not be one of the gatekeepers, as they must focus on holding the boss’s aggro.
Once you’ve chosen your gatekeepers, have everyone except the tank stand in the same quadrant while the tank stays alone. It’s also essential to decide on which way you will rotate during the fight—either clockwise or counterclockwise—to avoid confusion during critical moments.
Boss Attack Patterns
The boss has a variety of devastating attacks that you need to be aware of. Let’s go over the key attacks to watch out for:
Map-wide Blast:
- The boss will raise its arms and create a purple circle around its body. Once the circle closes, it releases a map-wide blast that can end the fight instantly or heavily damage the team. Block at the right time to survive. A good strategy is to block when the circle is about halfway closed.
Purple Gas Attack:
- The boss sprays a cone of purple gas towards the player with a purple orb above their head (usually the tank). This is your cue to rotate to a new quadrant to avoid taking significant damage. Have one gatekeeper open the gate for the tank and the other open the gate for the party. The tank should join the party’s current quadrant while the rest of the group rotates to the empty one.
Purple Vortex:
- The boss will summon a purple vortex on the ground. Move out of its range quickly, but you don’t have to morph unless necessary.
Red Orb Marking:
- If you are marked with a red orb, move to the top corner of the arena, away from your party. A giant red vortex will spawn where you are, and it will suck in nearby players, dealing massive damage. Once the vortex appears, morph and run to safety.
Rotation and Communication
As mentioned, decide on your rotation direction early in the fight (left or right). When the tank is marked with a purple orb, the group must rotate accordingly. Open gates and rotate to avoid the boss’s dangerous attacks.
Also, avoid getting too close to the boss if you are a DPS player. If you accidentally pull aggro, it could lead to a party wipe.
Additional Tips
- As the boss’s health gets low, it may mark two players with red orbs.
- Healers, be prepared to save players who get caught by the boss’s wide-range attacks or fail to block in time.
By following these strategies, assigning gatekeepers, and staying coordinated with rotations, your team will have a much better chance of taking down this final boss in the Cursed Wasteland Dungeon. Stay patient, communicate well, and keep those blocks and dodges timed perfectly to win the fight.
Good luck, and may the loot be worth the challenge!
