Transcripts

hello guys it's Las be there with a

dungeon guy today on the arakara city of

echos dungeon one of the new ones that's

come with the wall within so first of

all the dungeon entrance is in ashka hat

you can see that here on the map a

couple of things to keep in mind as you

go through this dungeon there are some

webbed areas with holes in the floor so

be careful to not fall into those

otherwise you end up like this guy the

dungeon is of course full of spiders so

remember you can use the Arachnophobia

option to change them into crabs if you

prefer that instead and also when you're

moving around the dungeon be careful to

avoid the eggs or the sacks that you can

see there if you go into those they can

damage you and leave slowing webs on the

floor they're usually in the webbed

areas too so you don't want to be

choking up those paths if you do die in

the dungeon what you can do is use the

little flying taxi mob near the start up

on the top of the ramp this will give

your taxi back to near where you left

off and it does get a bit further after

you've killed the second boss as well so

definitely use that to save some time if

you do wipe okay so let's look at the

trash leading up to the first boss so

you've got the engorged crawlers these

will cast a range venomous spit at a

random player and apply a poison debuff

which can be removed at 20% Health they

will fixate a random person again and

move towards them they'll start casting

toxic rupture and explode on the

completion of this cast so just stay out

of there way the jabbing Flyers will

apply a stacking bleed to the tank this

lasts for 12 seconds so obviously stack

so it could get pretty nasty if allowed

to build too high some kiting might be

necessary here on higher Keys then

you've got the discordant attendants the

bigger spider mobs these are going to

cast web bolt which deals damage over

time and slows the play and also

occasionally cast resonant barrage now

this is a group a AOE damage over 6

seconds it's can get pretty heavy so DPS

you can use your personals here to help

out your healer so there's actually

three mini bosses here that you're going

to need to kill before the first boss

aox will spawn first up you've got I in

so this guy is going to cast web Bolt

the same as before that you saw in the

trash and it also cast the web spray as

well in a random Direction This does

deal heavy damage so make sure you step

out of this and it does also leave

damaging zones on the floor so stay away

from those the spell that you want to

kick here is horrifying shrill now if

this cast goes off it's going to fear

anyone nearby and it's also going to

summon a lot of small ads as well so

just make sure you kick horrifying

shrill once you've killed him the next

mob you'll find is knacked so this one

also cast web spray same as before so

avoid the webs on the floor the main

ability that Knack cast that you need to

watch out for is Call Of The Brood so

this is going to deal some AE damage and

summon small ads as well so tanks make

sure you gather those up and DPS make

sure you just kill those as they come

and third you've got the last mob called

Attic So this shares the web spray

ability but it also deals poison damage

in two different ways so first of all

he's got a spell called poison bolt

which applies a DOT to your tank but it

also sends out the occasional poison

Cloud at a random player so this is

going to leave a pool on the floor make

sure you don't standing that especially

if it gets put on top of an existing web

patch cuz that's going to slow you and

deal the poison damage too so once

you've killed those three you'll see a

warning on your screen that something

emerges don't worry it isn't bartic it's

the first boss avox so this is a

relatively simple first boss with just a

couple of important abilities to be

mindful of continue to look out for the

webbed areas during the fight if you get

10 stacks of the debuff from going in

those you will get web wrapped for 10

seconds and likely die when the boss

cast gossam at Onslaught this does group

AOE but it also adds more webbed areas

to the boss room you might want to stay

Loosely stacked here to make sure the

room doesn't get too messy too quickly

during the fight as the pools will last

until the boss dies another ability is

alerting shrill now this deals fairly

heavy pulsing AOE damage then you've got

verocious bite now this is the tank

mechanic here aox will bite the tank

three times and the final bite of those

three will apply a damage taken debuff

to the tank with 100% more d damage

taken for 12 seconds so save defensives

and bigger heals for this period of the

fight small ads called starved crawlers

will continue to join the fight and

whenever the boss cast alerting shrill

the ads are going to fix out a random

player and gain a buff called hunger so

they're going to start to deal 10% more

damage which Stacks up every 3 seconds

now these could quickly become a problem

if not focused down so ideally bring

them to the boss group them up and nuke

them down and that's pretty much the

first boss once aox is dead you can move

on towards boss number two now we get

some different trash to face on the way

to boss number two first of all you've

got the Blood Stained assistance now

these are going to cast in a spell

called extraction strike towards the

tank or whoever has Agro they are rooted

while they do this so ideally you need

to move out of this ability if it does

hit you the mob's going to get healed

for the amount it hit you and also buff

the mob with a spell called unnatural

blood lust now this buff is basically

like an enrage meaning the mob does more

damage and does more healing which also

Stacks so tanks will have to move quite

a bit to dodge these casts then you've

got the blood stain web Mages now these

will Channel web WAP at a random player

it needs to be kicked or disrupted is it

makes the player immobile and also makes

them take 15% more nature damage as well

they also cast revolting volley which is

the priority kick here now this does

initial heavy group wide damage but also

leaves a damage over time effect on the

entire party as well as a healing absorb

so it can get very nasty if these do go

off the big mobs here the hulking blood

guards they're going to use a spell

called massive slam this is going to

damage everyone in the group within 60

yards of the mob and it also stuns

players for 1 second the next ability is

called impale which is a big frontal

ability casting a com it deals damage to

whoever gets hit and also knocks you

back so avoid these wherever possible

the boss that you coming up to is also

going to use a spell as well and the

last other notable mob in this section

of the dungeon are the Sentry stag

shells these guys cast alarming shrill

now this also needs kicking if the cast

does go off it will spawn more ads and

can cause all nearby mobs to join the

fight as well likly going to overwhelm

you group this so make sure you kick

that cast you can see here what happens

if the spell does go off so boss number

two an obser

now let's do the minor abilities first

so as I said before he is going to use

impale the frontal corn ability that the

mobs before him used the big hulking

blood gun also roughly every 15 seconds

the boss will summon a blood stain web

Mage now these are the trash mobs who

use the web rapper ability on a random

player making them mobile and they're

also going to apply the 15% nature

damage take and debuff so you need to

get these de with as quickly as you can

make use of CC and kicks where possible

to manage these mobs you definitely

don't want a lot of these out at any one

time so make sure you do Focus these

down now his big abilities of which

there are two so first of all he will do

a burrow charge now he goes on the

ground and starts charging through the

floor to the furthest player away so you

can bait this in advance he will knock

anyone in the path that he charges

through away and deal damage to them if

you do get hit by the end of the charge

where he emerges again you're going to

take quite a bit more damage and get

knocked back even further so stay out of

the way of this path you do get a little

indicator above your head if he has

chosen you for this ability after he

reemerges he's then going to cast impale

on the furthest player away from him at

this time so you can again predict where

this ability will be cast if the group's

paying attention there's also the

infestation ability so this is going to

apply a DOT to a random player once the

dot ends it'll spawn a ceaseless swarm

and this will move around the boss room

for a period of time it's going to

damage anyone that goes into it and also

apply a stacking dot as well as a

movement speed decrease so making it

slower the longer you stay in it

whenever the boss reaches 100 energy is

going to cast eye of the Swarm so

everyone will need to get into the safe

Circle Zone otherwise you will gain two

stacks of ceaseless swarm every 1 second

so it's quickly going to ramp up and

make you really slow and take a lot of

damage the boss will continue to use his

impale and infestation abilities while

this is going on so it's going to get

quite tight of space so just make sure

you do your best to avoid any damage

going out there once an obect is now

anob wct you can then move on to boss

number three in the indoor section of

the dungeon and again there's some

different trash to face on your way to

the final boss so firstly you've got the

blood ores these use a spell called

Venom volley which is a group wide AOE

spell that will leave a poison dot on

the group and this is is your kick

priority secondly they were going to

cast erupting web so these are a bit

more dangerous than the spider web pools

that you've seen previously there'll be

zones that go out little swirlies make

sure you dodge those if not they will

explode you will be hit take damage and

be stunned for 6 seconds so a little bit

more deadly than what we saw earlier

you've then got the reinforced drones

now these simply just use grasping slash

on players it's going to root players

and deal damage over time and you can

see there if you get rooted and then

targeted by the erupting webs it's going

to be a pretty deadly combo so do be

mindful of that third New Mob type are

the winged Carri now these are the

smaller flying mobs they're not too

threatening but what they do is carry

pools of grasping blood now these if you

stand in them will root you for 1 minute

and deal damage over time you can damage

the pool to break the snare though now

keep this ability in mind as this is

present on the final boss fight as well

and the last big type of mob that you've

got here are the rubian haulers now

these cast massive slam which you've

seen earlier in the dungeon they stomp

the ground and do group AOE damage and

Sun everybody for one second each time

they do this though they're going to

gain intensity which is a damage

multiplier so these will need focusing

down so that they don't become too

overwhelming kill all those guys and you

make your way to the final boss the

kikal the Harvester so first of all

during this fight you'll notice that

these small ads the blood workers will

continuously walk into and across the

fight room and they're also carrying

those grasping blood pools that we saw

earlier so whenever you hit them they

going to drop the pool on the floor

wherever they take their first hit and

then the M will run away so you don't

actually need to kill that what you want

to do is make sure you get some pools

dropped at a decent distance away from

the boss is you're going to need to go

into a pool when the boss casts a big

ability C Cosmic Singularity now you

need to make sure there's enough pools

on the floor so that each player has one

to stand in as you cannot share pools on

Mythic difficulty now the big ability to

avoid is Cosmic Singularity so he's

going to start to pull all the players

in and create a spatial Distortion when

the cast finishes anyone within 10 yards

is going to suffer a big amount of

damage and get knocked back if you do

get hit by a dispel you're also going to

get a debuff called faded so you do 75%

less damage and take 75% more damage

yourself for 12 seconds so it's pretty

crucial that you avoid being hit by this

spell the way to do so is prepare in

advance find out where a pool is make

sure it's further than 10 yards away

from the boss and start to make your way

to the pool ideally just before or as

soon as the spell starts to be cast if

you don't manage to get yourself rooted

in one of the pools of grasping blood

when the spell finishes casting you will

be suck back towards the boss and take

the full damage from this ability which

is likely going to kill you the further

away you are from the boss when the

spell finishes casting the less damage

you're going to take the boss will also

occasionally cast erupting webs which

are the webs that we saw earlier the

swirl is got on the floor and the we

blow up if you get stuck in that you're

going to take damage and be stunned

there's also Venom volley to deal with

which is an AOE ability each player in

the group will get a damage over time

ability which is a poison and it's also

going to reduce your movement speed by

30% for 10 seconds which is going to

make it harder to get to the pools to

deal with the cosmic Singularity so make

sure you dispel or cure this if you can

ideally prioritizing the player in the

group with the worst Mobility to help

them get to a pool when it's time and

the last ability to be concerned with is

called cultivated poisons now this lasts

6 seconds and while you have the de buff

everyone in the group will start spewing

out poison in two directions do your

best to aim these away from your group

as the beams will deal damage but also

once a spell ends it's going to fire a

poison wave in both directions and that

deals pretty heavy damage to anyone hit

it can get a bit chaotic here especially

if you got quite a Milly heavy group

also because at this point you should be

prepping to get yourself over to a

grasping blood pool because Cosmic

Singularity is likely to be cast as this

spell is going on so it does get a bit

hectic but those are all the

possibilities so deal with them in order

as they come and you'll find yourself

completing this dungeon nicely so there

we go guys that is the dungeon arara do
