Runes of Magic US / AU

I just rewatched my video and didn't see any crystal colored differently from the others o.o

There is 4 different colored crystals Yellow,Red,Green,and White. You might have to get closer to the crystals to see actual colors but yes all 4 are different. In your Vid Zap your standing next to blue at the start green for second jump third jump was green 4th jump was red. Look past the blue effect to see what color the crystal is

Crystal's look like Eggs behind the blue effect

I don't see any colours either... o.O

Oh! I see it now! I don't know if I'd be able to realize which one I'm clicking fast enough though lol, we usually immuned when someone got the aggro buff and Lazer was quick on the taunts.

Lazer is random nothing tank can do about the aggro on that but u have 5 other people to help look for the crystal. Just spread out as he jumps for the lazer and pop speed pots if u have to. Since only one crystal needs to be clicked fights dont last as long maybe 2 jumps.

I was referring to our tank, Lazerbeam

well try out my guilds strat and see how it goes one crystal is alot easier from doing 4 like we were when we first started to work strats and were wiping constantly i dont know if u still can but we used to be able to run the perimiter to find the yellow and have one person there as the fight was started.

We'll be sure to next time around! Thanks for the tip!

Yellow is definitely the dot needed to survive annihilation, thanks missjeanny!

Not sure if was mentioned, the DoT is called "Rune Backfire". Seems the color isnt shown on low gfx settings >.> guess i needs to pump up the gfx on this instance sigh.

Recorded a how-to on the mobs after 3rd boss!

Treat him like a boss. You don't need to wait for 5 min cooldowns but it's in your best interest to. As a trash mob with 6 million hp, you'll want it to die as soon as possible.

20 seconds after aggroing him, he will stun the party for 5 seconds and hit for a flat 20k. Immediately after the stun, he will channel a skill called Falling Flame which will hit the party 3 times for 20% hp per hit. This attack will interrupt casts and holy aura will not save you from the interruption.

After 50% of his health is gone, Dark Healing will be channeled. This should be canceled.

It's rinse and repeat every 20 seconds.

On the blue balls that roll down the last boss corridor, has anyone found any particular use for them, or are they just an annoyance to knock you down >.> or anyway to kill them?

Thanks for this, on easy they are a pain for us lowgeared players, didnt realize they were that tough on normal xD pity the loots suck, you guys get anything decent on normal, rank IV rune perhaps?

Zapurai, find any tricks between 4th and 5th, we having a major hard time getting the mobs beside the balls down... They just instant respawn, anyone know?

lelm27,

You have to kill those mobs in a specific order.

Once you kill the RIGHT one first. It will not spawn again, it takes time to figure out the combination, I don't think it changes.

I can't tell you for sure.. we've been farming 4th for a Tia before moving on.

After the initial guys that are killed via dots, you have to kill the mobs all at the same time.

So kill both mobs before door with DoTs; proceed to kill door. Kill both mobs behind door with DoTs; once all mobs died once, kill them all 4 at the same time?

Do the gumballs stop at any point?

From what I have been told by some of the players from Core on Osha.

They said you have to kill the mobs in a combination (Back right then something, something something.)

Killing them at the same time is VERY difficult.

Update on 4th boss Strat:

The boss is pretty similar to the Lair of the Demon Dragon in AV, where the boss is "chained" up. In order to release the boss, there are four mobs in each corner of the platform (channelling on an Imprisonment Crystal).

The boss buffs himself with Body Strengthen that gives him a Mdef/Pdef/PA buff which makes it reduces the damage he receives from Magic/Physical and also makes him hit harder.

As soon as you kill the 4 of the mobs (actually, once you actually pull the 4th mob, after like 5 - 10 seconds, the boss will aggro whoever pulled the last mob.)

Best way to do it:

Kill 3 mobs who are channelling the Imprisonment Crystals. (They don't hit hard btw.)
The tank pulls the 4th mob and starts fighting him. Everyone else in the party should be standing on the door of the boss room. Once the boss is aggro'ed, He will only kill the tank and reset.
In order to avoid getting locked out, you will notice that there is a "2nd" door for the boss room. Move to the left side of that door and move just infront of it. (Stick to the wall) to avoid getting locked out.
The best thing to do for this boss fight is to ensure you can burn as much as you can before he does his first attacks.

He casts the following spells:

Body Strengthen (Buffs himself.)
Annihilation Attack. (Gauteikriistain'na Cashtei will be said before he does this.)
Annihilation Beam. (Vaistain' Vaistain' Vaistain' will be said before he does this.)

Annihilation Attack will wipe the party if you refuse to do the strat.

Annihilation Beam is pretty much a laser that follow a specific player that hits for ~70k. (Dodge, Dodge Dodge! If you don't know how to run, you need to learn.)

What we do on Grimdal is since we do a lot of damage, we only follow the strat that protects us from Annihilation Attack.

Now to the Strat:
There are four Imprisonment Crystals in each corner of the room.
If you choose to follow the strat completely. Assign one person to each Crystal. (1 Tank, 1 healer, 4 DPS.), Tank the boss in the Middle of the Room.
When he says "Gauteikriistain'na Cashtei", all the 4 DPS should be ready to run to their assigned crystal and click on it. (ONLY ONCE) If you click on it twice, you will restart your cast.

Each Imprisonment Crystal has it's own coloured Crystal just behind the white sparkling light.

Yellow: 8k Blood DoT every (second?) for 10 seconds. - This protects you from Annihilation Attack. IF YOU MISS THIS, YOU DIE.
Blue: I think this one is the Pattack Debuff (Greatly reduces Pattack of the player and Removes Any Pattack Buffs on the boss.)
Red: I think this one is the Aggro Debuff (You get Aggro from the boss but can easily be regained by the tank, This one removes any Pdef buffs on the boss.)
Green: I think this one is the Mattack Debuff (Greatly reduces Mattack of the player and Removes Any Mattack Buffs on the boss.)

This strat isn't too difficult. You do not need to do the complete strat to avoid wipes.

Tl;dr Version.

1) 4 Mobs, Kill 3 with full party then Tank attacks 1 with the rest of the party at the door. Once the boss is "unlocked" swap and die at the door.
2) Burn as much as you can of the boss. (Assign one person to click on the Yellow coloured Imprisonment Crystal). After 20 seconds of burning, the boss will say "Gauteikriistain'na Cashtei", Assigned person clicks on the Yellow Crystal.
3) A couple seconds after you survive Annihilation Attack. He will say "Vaistain' Vaistain' Vaistain'", scatter from the boss and run away from the LASER BEAMS!
4) Rinse and Repeat until dead.

If you choose to do the full Strat, Assign 1 DPS to each crystal and as soon as he says "Gauteikriistain'na Cashtei", Let them click on their assigned crystal and continue burning the boss. Kite the Beam whenever possible.

You cannot immune his annihilation attack or beam. A bubble can reduce the damage of Annihilation Beam but it can still kill you if you stand in it.
