Guardian Nest 101: FEL GUARDIAN

FINAL BOSS: FEL GUARDIAN

Root Attack – Casts a dark tinged shadow on the ground which indicates an impending smash. Attack can either be frontal, sides of at the back. Move away as much as possible in the dark markings as a slam occurs right after the mark. Hits hard and can clear buffs and also lowers your damage for a couple of seconds (30-35s if I remember).

Dark Suction – Draws all players near him (all over the map) and deals heavy amount of damage when hit. Blows two (2) times when hit. Run away and avoid getting into the circle.

Spear Throw + Dash – Turns into target player and Boss steps backward then throws his spear and then he dashes. Can hit players even if it is too far from him. Deals death when hit, splash explosion can also cause massive damage e.g. hit on the sides. Safe place would be the left side as the boss is holding his spear on his right. Easy to assume target as the boss will face into the targeted player. Move to sides to avoid getting hit.

Claw Swipe + Spear – left claw swipe then followed by a right straight spear. Deals huge damage when hit. Tumble to the left side (boss’ perspective) to avoid getting hit, 

also avoids being followed up by the right straight spear.

Forest Burn Attack – Boss teleports himself to the middle of the map 

and a bar appears in your window.

Boss will cast aerial attack at first so better don’t jump during this phase. Attack the boss till the Bar (light blue) depletes its armor indicator to cancel the wipe out skill. Always move around as the boss will continue to cast Root Attack. 

Triple Attack – Most tricky part of the attacks. Fast casting speed, attacks either Air or Ground. Releases three (3) consecutive attacks in a random manner e.g. air-ground-air, air-air-air, ground-ground-ground, ground-air-ground and etc. When hit ones, the next attack has high percentage of hitting you again. Has high damage and mostly the cause of death to lag/delay players.

Attack can be read by its motion. When boss attacks the air, he puts his hand close to the ground like charging down from below then pushes the force into the air. 

Just stay still when he uses this attack.

When boss attacks the ground, he raises both of his hands and slams down the ground. Once you see his hands are raise, immediately jump to avoid getting hit. Use only normal jump, too much air time can cause delay and might be the reason get hit from the next attack. 

Boss attacks at x3 HP

Charge Dash + Ground Hit + Bubble Drop – Additional skill is added from the normal Dash + Ground hit. It adds a bubble drop with a dark purple indicator (shown above) when boss HP reaches x3. It casts 2 bubbles after hitting the ground; 

animation would be like twirling his spear above his head as the bubbles drop from it targeting the purple indicator. Run around the area as he smashes the ground. 

Probable targets are near the boss. Additional attack is added during x2 HP.

Boss at x2 HP

Charge Dash + Ground Hit + Bubble Drop + Stomp – this is the additional attack as mentioned above after bubble drop; boss raises his frontal legs and stomps. AOE is the whole map,

 deals very huge damage.

Attack is easy to read as it chains its movement to one another making it easy to predict. 

Jump when he starts to raise his legs.

AOE Charge – Boss cast dark vines all over the area. Safe place would be the area in front of him. Immediately run into the safe zone. Explosion deals death when hit. After explosion, move into the sides to avoid getting smashed up in the front as the boss will slam his spear in front of him after the AOE charge explosion.

Avoid luring the boss into the corner as he might cast this skill facing the wall, making it unable to hide.

Notes:

Most of my runs, circling around the boss in a counter-clockwise manner helps a lot in avoiding most of his skills like spear throw and swipe attacks. Also, never ever stand in the boss’ rear as he can do tail swipe (which I was unable to put it up) as it cause huge damage. Always assume that boss can do 1 hit skills (even if they’re not) for a safer gameplay.  Do hit and run tactic and always watch the boss movement to be able to react quickly when he cast those skills.

Guardian Nest 101: Angry Aira Venom

Boss 1 : Angry Aira Venom

·         The area comprises a number of tiles in a 4x4 manner.

·         A number of tiles glows into purple and is a sign on an impending burst attack

Boss attacks a cone shape poison blow, 

immediately dodge the floor which has poison wave markings. 

Casting time is fast, immediate evacuation is necessary.

Boss fells down as well as a release of a 4 cornered poison wave and drags to the side afterwards. 

Move to side to avoid being in hit by the attack. 

Boss sways two (2) times and slams the ground.

 Hits hard but easy to avoid.

Tiles turns into purple as a form of attack which blows into some average amount of damage. Numerous patterns are used as the fight lengthens. 

Immediately go into the non-glowing tile.

Boss attacks can cause poison ticks, find this glowing pillar near the 4 corners and get into them. It removes the poison buff status.

Boss slams the ground and releases poison wave. This attack is casted for consecutive 4-5x.

 Side step to avoid the waves.

Boss cast this attack during every end of its bar (supposedly but not to UBER DPS party). 

It has 2 patterns of attack. First pattern (figure above), poison tiles rotates the whole side. 

Move to the non-glowing tile in a counter-clockwise manner till the glowing stops.

Second pattern (above), the whole area except one tile is filled with glowing poison and explodes in a couple of seconds.  Go to the non-glowing tile and wait for it to explode. 

It is very predictable and easy to avoid, press (tab) to toggle your weapons 

for easy running for non-warrior class.

Poison status shown above your head, shows impending cast of small poison bombs in your way. 

Avoid getting steady and always move.

Another poison buff status, avoid getting close to your party members

 as they will suffer a huge amount of damage when they enter/touch the poison circles. 

Cannot be cured. Wait till the buff is gone.
