Boss and mechanic notes

Alexander - The Burden of the Father (Savage) has local boss notes for: The Manipulator, Phase 1 - First Leg, Phase 2 - Second Leg, Phase 3 - Third Leg, Phase 4 - Fourth Leg, Phase 5 - The Body. These notes are pulled from the local wiki and should be treated as source-backed prep unless separately marked as human-reviewed strategy.

• Detailed mechanics not available from the source page.
• Orbs will spawn from six potential areas, spawn-points being the six "tracks" on the arena between the red circles.
• If the leg is not stunned, two players will be hit with high magic damage and lose 3000 MP.
• If the leg is stunned in time, two random players will be hit for negligible damage.
• This attack occurs infrequently enough that stun abilities will be ready again by the time it's recast.
• The Panzer Doll will inflict stacks of Blunt Resistance Down which will slowly build up over the course of the fight.
• If players are killed in the Quarantine zone, their bodies will be stuck there and they can not be resurrected.
• If the off-tank is dead, a random second player will be quarantined instead.
• If the targeted player dies to this attack, The Manipulator gains a permanent stack of Damage Up.
• These tethers deal damage in an AoE around the intercepting player.
• Attacks with Kaltstrahl, a high damage frontal cleave that inflicts Slashing Resistance Down.
• If left alive too long, will self-destruct with Wirbelwind. This deals no damage, but sets the entire party's MP to 0 .
• Will give nearby players stacks of Luminous Aetheroplasm. If one player reaches four stacks, they will explode and wipe the entire party.
• Can only be permanently killed by bringing into melee range of the Straf Doll.
