Boss and mechanic notes

Dragon's Neck has local boss notes for: Ultros & Typhon. These notes are pulled from the local wiki and should be treated as source-backed prep unless separately marked as human-reviewed strategy.

• Megavolt: Circle AoE around Ultros
• Aqua Breath: Cone in front of Ultros
• Grind: Untelegraphed tankbuster.
• Fungah: Instant-cast cone in front of Typhon that deals knockback.
• Fungahhh: Cone behind Typhon that deals knockback.
• Fireball: Circle AoE on a random player.
• FUNGAH: Targets a random player with a red circular marker. This player will be knocked upward in place, while anyone in the circle will be knocked away.
• Snortsault: This time, Typhon goes to the center of the arena and deals a huge knockback, followed by 4 back-to-back casts of Snort that also deal knockback. Stay near the center and continuously run toward the center until the Snorts stop.
• Wallop: Line AoEs directed at random players, dealing knockback.
• Clearout: Large cone AoEs directed at the center of the arena, dealing knockback.
• Running this duty solo unsynced is not really viable - the incoming damage during the imp phase, combined with the inability to use actions, will lead to a quick death.
• Aqua Breath is frequently used by Ultros, so this is the preferred place to obtain it.
• 4-tonze Weight is used by Ultros during the second imp phase, and onward.
• Snort is used by Typhon late in the fight, and may require stalling as to not kill him too quickly. Alternatively, Typhon uses Snort more frequently in Lock up Your Snorters.

Verification boundary

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.
