Overview

What fun is there in merely restating the facts? Never one to be content with the truth, the wandering minstrel has taken the liberty of retelling the tale of your journey into Alexander with his trademark embellishments. Some may question the value of such entertainment, but none can deny the skill with which he weaves his tapestry of song and verse, immersing you in memory...

Strategy Notes

  • This boss has four phases that transition purely based on time.
  • The outside edge of the arena is an electrified pit that when fallen into, inflicts players with a 3 second Stun, 15 second incurable Paralysis, and Electrocution damage until exited. While not immediately lethal, this can prove deadly when combined with other attacks.
  • Each player should be assigned a position spread around the center to be separated for frequently cast AoE mechanics.
  • Depending on the party's preferred method for dealing with Digititis, it may be helpful to give each tank and healer a DPS partner using Signs.
  • Two spots opposite to each other on the arena should be marked for where tanks should split the two hands in phase 2-B.
  • Living liquid starts in Anthropomorph form. The boss should be pulled to and tanked in the center, facing away from the rest of the party.
