The Tower of Zot dungeon guide

Dungeon quick facts

Vrtra, great wyrm of the first brood and the hidden satrap of Radz-at-Han, has bid the Scions cross to Narunnair and mount a foray into the tiny island's unnatural spire-a Telophoroi structure known by the locals as the Tower of Zot. Your companions join you on the journey, protective talismans in hand, prepared to face whatever unnamed horrors await you within. Come what may, you cannot allow Nidhana and her kin to perish in the grip of dark magicks and darker designs...

Boss and mechanic notes

The Tower of Zot has local boss notes for: Minduruva, Sanduruva, Harbingers Elect: Cinduruva/The Magus Sisters. These notes are pulled from the local wiki and should be treated as source-backed prep unless separately marked as human-reviewed strategy.

• Manusya Bio: Tankbuster. This attack also inflicts a high damage-over-time poison and should be removed immediately.
• Manusya Blizzard III: The boss will fire twelve narrow cones from the center of the boss's hitbox across the arena. Stand between the marked AoEs to avoid.
• Manuysa Fire III: A large donut AoE that can only be avoided by standing near the boss.
• Manusya Thunder III: The boss will fire several AoEs from the front, back, left, and right of its hitbox that move across the room to the edge of the arena. Move away from the boss or stand at a diagonal relative to the hitbox until the AoEs pass.
• Manusya Bio III: The boss will fire an AoE covering the entire room except the area between the boss and the nearest wall. Move to the unmarked side to avoid.
• Dhrupad: Targets all non-tank players and inflicts them with a damage-over-time debuff. This will be used after every Transmute spell cast.
• Isitva Siddhi: Tankbuster.
• Prapti Siddhi: The boss fires a large line AoE at each player one at a time. Move out of the AoE marker to avoid.
• Manusya Berserk: Five orbs will appear around the room, and once the boss finishes casting, they will explode in very large AoE circles. If a player is hit by the explosion (and survives), they will take heavy damage and receive the Berserk debuff, losing control of their character and attacking the boss wildly, getting hit by the Prakamya Siddhi cast immediately afterwards by the boss. There will be a gap in the ring of orbs, move to the gap, and then all the way against the wall directly behind that gap to avoid the attack.
• Prakamya Siddhi: A point-blank AoE that deals heavy damage to any players hit. Move out to avoid.
• Manusya Stop: The boss will teleport to the center of the arena and cast this spell. Players will be afflicted by a debuff that freezing them in place upon expiration. Players will be frozen one at a time, in succession. Once a player is stopped, the boss will cast a an unavoidable Prapti Siddhi line attack on that player, after which the player is unfrozen. Players should spread out around the boss to avoid taking excess damage. Heal through each hit.
• Manusya Confuse: The boss will leap from the arena, then drop down with five orbs disguised as the boss. After a set amount of time, the orbs drop their disguise and explode very quickly thereafter, inflicting Berserk. Only one of the bosses is the real boss, and marks the safe zone in the room. Players can determine the real boss by looking to see which one is not performing an emote (DoTs and debuffs also persist on the real boss, but not the clones). Once the true boss has been determined, run to the wall behind it until after the explosion, exactly like with Manusya Berserk. These mechanics will repeat until the boss is defeated.
• Samsara: An unavoidable room-wide AoE attack. Mitigate and heal through.
• Delta Attack: This spell can be either a variant of Manusya Blizzard III, Manusya Fire III or Manusya Thunder III. Which spell is coming out can be determined by the text box that appears on screen:

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.
