Trial quick facts

How many realms has he traversed, and how many rivals has he felled? Gilgamesh journeys ever onward in his unending quest for the strongest of swords. But the road is long and lonesome, and a painted rooster-loyal and noble as the bird may be-can bring a man only so much comfort in the darkest and most trying of times. So it was that Gilgamesh turned to the heavens, pleading to be reunited with a long-lost companion. Be it by fortune or fate, his prayers were heard, and the stage for the final confrontation is set. To the victor goes the Treaty-Blade!

Boss and mechanic notes

Battle in the Big Keep has local boss notes for: Gilgamesh & Enkidu, Phase 1: Gilgamesh and Enkidu, Phase 2: Gilgamesh. 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.
Aero II: Used by Enkidu. Targets random players and does an AoE around them for moderate damage.
Web: Used by Enkidu. Targets random players and applies a Heavy and a Slow, decreasing movement and attack speed.
Eerie Soundwave: Used by Enkidu. Conal AoE that targets a random player.
White Wind: Used by Enkidu. Heals Gilgamesh.
Bitter End: Frontal cleave used by Gilgamesh. Players should avoid standing in front.
Missile: Used by Gilgamesh. Marks a random player with a crosshair. After a few seconds, he will shoot a missile at the target, which deals damage in an area around them. They deal moderate damage and marked players should avoid standing near others.
Minimum: Used by Gilgamesh. Two players will be tethered together and debuffed with Minimum, making them tiny and forcing them to deal less damage and take increased damage. This can be removed by the two tethered players moving close together.
Chicken: Used by Gilgamesh. Random players will be transformed into Chickens for ~25 seconds and be unable to use any skills or abilities.
Mini Tornado: A wind puddle AoE randomly placed around the arena. These stay for quite a long time and multiples can appear. Standing in one will cause the player to take heavy damage and be knocked into the air. Chickens can run into the tornadoes and take 0 damage, but will still be knocked into the air.
Whirlwind Slash: A large AoE centered on Gilgamesh.
PradamanteThis attack name is both a pun on Bradamante (Nael van Darnus' gunhalberd) and a reference to Excalipoor.: Used by Gilgamesh. Targets a random player with an AoE.
Moonlight: A roomwide AoE that deals moderate damage. Can be avoided if players are standing on the slightly raised parts of the arena (won't have the light glow of the AoE. Needs confirmation).
Bitter End: Frontal cleave on the MT. Avoid standing in front.
