The Sunken Temple of Qarn dungeon guide

Dungeon quick facts

Under the unforgiving Thanalan sun lie and ruins of an ancient temple half-devoured by the shifting sands of timeless desert. Though used by ancient Belah'dians as a place to worship the sun goddess, Azeyma, the massive underground structure appears to be far older than his Sixth Astral Era civilization. That, however, did not deter Belah'dian sultans from each adding their own chambers to the original construct to a bid to achieve immortality through creation.

Boss and mechanic notes

The Sunken Temple of Qarn has local boss notes for: Teratotaur, Temple Guardian, Adjudicator. These notes are pulled from the local wiki and should be treated as source-backed prep unless separately marked as human-reviewed strategy.

• Triclip: Telegraphed tankbuster.
• Dung wespes have joined the fray! Two Dung Wespe adds will spawn. Kill these quickly or they will use Final Sting on their target and deal massive damage (70% of their maximum HP; two hits will be instant death).

• Mow: Telegraphed frontal conal AoE. Anyone hit will receive a 15-second Poison which can be cleansed with Esuna.
• Mortal Ray: You have been afflicted with Doom... A room-wide AoE that will inflict everyone with a Doom debuff on your entire party; the debuff lasts 12 seconds and will instantly kill anyone still afflicted by it when the timer ends.
• The boss can be stunned (using actions such as Low Blow or Leg Sweep during the cast to prevent it.
• Players can remove this debuff by stepping on the square plate that is glowing orange; only one of them will turn orange at a time. It may be preferable to tank the Teratotaur in the middle of the room between all three plates so that they are within easy reach of the Tank and Melee DPS, but the duration is long enough that it should not be a problem.
• Rockslide is a frontal column AoE attack.
• True Grit is a frontal cone AoE attack that will inflict a 15-second Blind which can be cleansed with Esuna.
• Boulder Clap is a frontal AoE attack.
• Obliterate is an instant attack that deals magical damage to the entire party.
