Amaurot dungeon guide

Dungeon quick facts

To the depths of the Tempest, to the ocean floor itself, you have come to rescue the Crystal Exarch from the phantom city of Amaurot. But barring your way is the architect of this aetherial construct-Emet-Selch, the Ascian who would lead the First unto destruction. The Light within you strains at its corporeal confines, threatening to break free at any moment. Time does not favor the Warrior of Darkness. You must brave the final days of Amaurot, and confront Emet-Selch in the very midst of this recreated calamity.

Boss and mechanic notes

Amaurot has local boss notes for: The First Beast, Terminus Bellwether, Chthonic Riddle: Therion. These notes are pulled from the local wiki and should be treated as source-backed prep unless separately marked as human-reviewed strategy.

• Venomous Breath: Cone AoE directed at tank that inflicts Poison.
• Meteor Rain: Targets the two DPS and the Healer with a large black circle AoE. When the AoE Markers disappear, they are replaced with a ground-targeted proximity AoE at the point each player was standing. This attack leaves behind boulders, which are necessary to evade other attacks.
• The Falling Sky: Targets the ground below two random players with large circular AoEs. This attack later targets all four players.
• The Final Sky: The First Beast will move to the east or west edge of the arena and begin casting. After which a meteor will fall onto the boss and inflict very high damage and a stack of Suppuration. Standing behind a boulder will block the attack.
• After this attack, a building will begin to collapse, falling onto the arena, leaving only a narrow line on the opposite side of the arena from the boss. Getting crushed by the collapsed building deals extremely high damage.
• Earthquake: Point-blank circle AoE around the boss.
• Shrill Shriek: Room-wide AoE
• Burst: Slow-cast that will cause the boss to grow in size, as he grows he gains stacks of Bloated, which increases damage taken and dealt. Burst will cast on death for raidwide damage even if the castbar isn't full, so burn him down before he gains too many stacks.
• Shadow Wreck: Room-wide AoE
• Apokalypsis: A lingering line attack that takes up the entirety of the platform, with only small outcrops on each edge of the arena as safe areas. Each cast of Apokalypsis causes one of these outcroppings to crack and glow pink, signifying that the next cast of Apokalypsis will cause it to collapse, dropping any players standing on it off the arena to their deaths.
• Therion Charge: Proximity damage marker and boss will leap forward, removing some of the area available. The arena will be entirely covered with a dangerous AoE if the boss is allowed to use this too many times, serving as a soft enrage.
• Deathly Ray (Masks): Faces appear on left or right side and cast lingering line AoEs directly across. The masks on one side will fire first, followed by the opposite side. There is no warning as to which side will fire first, so the healer must keep everyone's HP high enough to potentially survive the first hit.
• Deathly Ray (Therion): Lingering line directed at a random player. Additionally, two players will have ground-targeted AoEs appear below them.

This page is generated from local TJPedia wiki data. It does not invent missing mechanics, NPC coordinates, loot tables, or current-party-finder strategies. High-end positioning and current-prog tactics still need human review before being labeled as a full strategy guide.

• Source-backed: duty facts, local boss notes, achievements, and music.
• Needs human review: exact high-end progression strategy.
• Use official patch notes for changed requirements or rewards.
