Walkthrough for Mechanics

Before the start of the Raid, all party members need to claim a position that they’ll take on during special mechanic X49. It’s best to put each team member in one corner, also known as the X-pattern. If we view the battlefield as a clock, that means that one teammate is standing at one o’clock, another at 5 o’clock, the third one at 7 o’clock, and the final one at eleven o’clock.

Once the boss’ HP bar drops to 55, the boss will split in two. The boss will split his HP bar to 55. blue human bossThe other must defeat the purple demon boss. Special mechanics can only be found in the blue boss fight, however the purple boss has greater HP. It’s important to remember that the purple boss uses inverted attacks, meaning that the areas prior to landing attacks are actually safe zones.

The blue boss will teleport to the middle before the orb puzzleMake sure that you are in the center of the white circle when reaching the 49th HP Bar. Then lure the orbs into the gate with the same color. If you have a green orb, it should go into a green gate. A white orb will go in a white gateway. Follow the image to find the time. In the following order, the orbs will change color: red-blue-green-white-black.

Next, prepare for the following stagger checkAt X36 HP. Check if the color over your head is either blue or black by removing the stagger bar. Blue players go to positions 5 and 11 o’clock, while black players take positions 1 and 7 o’clock. The pattern will help you remember the order that the orbs will appear. Watch out for the patterns on the ground. Before they get to the Boss, ensure you capture them in their assigned colors.

After that the boss of blue will immediately cast a “red area-of effect attack” which indicates a safe zoneRight next to or near the boss. Communicate the position of the safe zone to the other team fighting the purple boss, as they won’t get a warning.

The teams can expect to run at X30 HP Switch bosses. Prepare for X25 HP as four circles will be created. The purple team can only use one (the white) to stay safe. However, as only the blue team can tell which one’s the safe zone, they’ll have to make sure to communicate this to the purple team.

After yet another stagger check at the twelfth HP bar (same as X36), you’ve finally cleared the Lost ArkVykas Legion Raid phase 1.
