The Sulphur Workings

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.

This boss's marks deal a fixed amount set for its level (45), in place of the blow multiples below: a move you could dodge 554 damage, a hazard 484 damage, its signature failed 761 damage, burning ground 166 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.

Its crust of sulphur takes up to 60% off every blow (the bar under its own). Stand in one of the guild's lime pits 0.8 s and you are limed for 14 s: only a limed blow cracks the crust (3% of its health in limed blows cracks it whole). It grows back 3% a second. Cracked to nothing it breaks: stunned 2 s, it takes 50% more for 10 s. Alone: lime 18 s, cracked at 2.5%.

WhenThe whole fight.

EnragedFrom 30%: it grows back 4.5% a second.

TipLime up, strike, go back for more; when it breaks, everything at it.

The crust swells, warned 4 s ahead (alone 5 s): if more than 50% of it stands when it bursts, everyone in the fight takes 761 damage; cracked further, it bursts harmless.

When20 s into the fight, then every 30 s.

EnragedEvery 26 s.

TipHave the crust under half before every nova: limed blows, early.

A 100° cone 5.5 tiles long at the one holding it, 1.5 s ahead: 2 × a normal blow on them, 554 damage on anyone else in it. It burns the lime off whoever it touches.

When7 s into the fight, then every 10 s.

EnragedEvery 8 s.

TipThe tank turns it away from the limed.

Four lanes of blue fire from the Heart, 1.4 tiles wide and 12 tiles long, a cross then a saltire in turn, 1.6 s ahead (alone 2 s): 554 damage. Every 9 s.

WhenFrom 30% of its health.

TipStand between the lanes; the next set turns by an eighth.

It shouts: "Molten sulphur crawls out of the vents!" 1/2/2 Brimstone Ooze (level 44) come and attack the boss's target.

WhenAt 65% and 40% of its health, once each.

TipKill them first.

Circles under 1/2/3 of the party (1.5 tiles; 1, 2–3, 4–5 players), 1.6 s ahead: 554 damage and Sulphur Poison for 6 s. Where one lands a sulphur lake burns for 5 s, slowing by 70%.

When9 s into the fight, then every 12 s.

EnragedEvery 10 s.

TipStep out of the circle, and leave the lakes away from the lime pits.

Two of its 6 side vents facing each other erupt, warned 1.8 s ahead (1.8 tiles round): 484 damage. Every 7 s, round the six in turn.

WhenFrom 65% of its health.

TipStep off the vent that glows; melee shifts round the Heart.
