Overseer Brann

This boss's marks deal a fixed amount set for its level (43), in place of the blow multiples below: a move you could dodge 526 damage, a hazard 460 damage, its signature failed 723 damage, burning ground 158 damage a second. More levels and better gear mean more health, so the same hit takes a smaller part of it. Armour, shields and barriers turn aside at most 20% of it.

He cracks his whip down a narrow strip (1.3 tiles wide, 8 tiles long) through the one holding him and on behind them. 1.4 s after the mark it lands: 2 × a normal blow on the one holding him, and a Whip Wound: healing received −30% for 8 s (it can be cleansed). Anyone else in the strip takes 526 damage.

When5 s into the fight, then every 9 s.

EnragedEvery 7 s.

TipThe one holding him turns him so the strip runs away from the party, then steps out of it to the side.

He winds his long whip up 3 s along a line 16 tiles long and 1.6 tiles wide through the one holding him; it follows them and locks 1 s before it falls. Whoever is on it then takes 723 damage. Laid across one of the 4 chained miners' posts it breaks the chain: the miner throws his pick, Brann reels 3 s and takes 25% more for 8 s. Across nothing it leaves a burning crack for 6 s. From 60% he lashes twice. Alone: 3.6 s, never twice.

When12 s into the fight, then every 24 s.

EnragedEvery 20 s.

TipThe one holding him stands so Brann, they and a miner's post make one line, then steps off it when it locks. Everyone else keeps off the line.

The yard's 4 fumaroles erupt in turn, warned 2 s ahead (1.8 tiles round; alone 2.4 s): 460 damage and a push; then their gas lingers 4 s, burning.

WhenOne every 6 s; from 30% one every 4 s.

TipWatch the corner that glows; fight in the middle, away from the gas.

From 30% every miner still in chains hurls ore at one of the party every 6 s: a circle 1.5 tiles round where they stood, 1.6 s ahead, 526 damage. Freed miners throw nothing.

WhenFrom 30% of his health.

TipFree the miners with his lash before this; out of the circles.

It shouts: "Taskmasters! At them!" 1/2/2 Kindled Taskmaster (level 43) come and attack the boss's target.

WhenAt 60% of its health, once each.

TipKill them first.

It flushes red and rages: its normal blows come 1.3× as often, and all its blows are 15% harder.

WhenAt 30% of its health; it lasts to the end of the fight.

TipThe last part is the most dangerous: save your strong skills and potions for it, and dodging the marks matters more than ever.
