Everkeep trial guide

Trial quick facts

Known as the Resilient Son for the miracle of his birth, the First Promise Zoraal Ja was driven solely by the desire to prove his worth. So it was that he had embarked upon the path of conquest, but it led him nowhere save to an empty summit. Having failed to win the throne and surpass his father, he remains consumed by his obsession and has devoured the souls of his own people in a bid to achieve his ends. For the sake of not only Tuliyollal, but the entire star, you must put an end to the struggle of this tormented man.

Boss and mechanic notes

Everkeep has local boss notes for: King of Resolve: Zoraal Ja. These notes are pulled from the local wiki and should be treated as source-backed prep unless separately marked as human-reviewed strategy.

• Soul Overflow: Party-wide magical damage.
• Double-edged Swords: Telegraphed frontal 180 degree cleave followed by a telegraphed 180 degree rear cleave (or vice versa).
• Patricidal Pique: Telegraphed magical tankbuster.
• Soul Overflow: Party-wide magical damage and spawns multiple untargetable supporter NPC adds, which glow yellow.
• Calamity's Edge: Party-wide physical damage and replaces the adds with geysers of yellow energy. These use late telegraph circle AoEs (Burst), so move away from them.
• Vorpal Trail: Spawns telegraphed line AoEs covering each wall. These will converge towards to the center and expand outwards again. Meanwhile, the boss will use another Double-edged Swords, requiring players to dodge both the cleaves and the moving line AoEs.
• Soul Overflow and Calamity's Edge are now combined with Double-edged Swords, requiring players to dodge both the cleaves and the circle AoEs.
• Smiting Circuit: Zoraal Ja readies his blades. Telegraphs either a point-blank (outside hitbox safe) or a donut AoE (inside hitbox safe).
• If the glowing swords are inside its hitbox, it is a point-blank AoE.
• If the glowing swords are outside its hitbox, it is a donut AoE.
• Dawn of an Age: Party-wide magical damage and reduces the size of the arena to a much smaller square consisting of a 4x4 grid. Note the presence of identical outer platforms on each intercardinal. It is also now possible to fall off the platform, causing death.
• Vollok: Summons swords covering 10 tiles in a pyramid formation, telegraphing square AoEs.
• Bitter Reaping: Telegraphed magical tankbuster hitting both tanks.
• Vollok: Now summons swords on one of the outside platforms.

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.
