Forsaken Island (Hard)

First Boss: Rokdos

Key Mechanics

Curse of Rokdos - The boss will say “Who hungers for my curse?” and cast a curse on the two members closest to the boss every minute.

• Debuff ticks for 8% of your max HP every 2 seconds per stack, and puts a red circle above your head. The bleed lasts for 2 minutes, and stacks to 3. At 3 stacks, the player will die.

• If a player dies, Rokdos will say “My curse is inescapable!” and cast another Curse.

  The boss will always do R.I.P donuts (Attack Pattern 6) after the Curse Debuff.

Spiral Beam - Every 20% (80% / 60% / 40% / 20%), the boss will move away and spawn pillars, announced by :

The boss will then do the Spiral Beam pattern, but you must break the pillars in time to give everyone a 3 second barrier to prevent a one-shot wipe.

 Lancer can use Chained Leash on boss to destroy all pillars at the same time.

Basic attacks

Double Swing - Boss swings twice in a row towards the tank.
Triple Swing and Sweeping Slash - Boss swings three times towards the tank, and then does a doublehanded charging sweep that hits twice.
Fan Slash - The boss crosses his weapons, points at the target, and then deals damage in front of him as a cone.
Back Razor Slash - Rokdos does a Double Swing starting with his left sword, then turns around and deals damage in a cone of 3 lines.

• Can be avoided by standing in the right positions

Special attacks

Pounce - Boss will pounce on target and spin in a large AoE regardless of whether someone was hit by the stun.

 This spin is not blockable.
 Cannot be iframed. Move away.

R.I.P

• Donuts: The boss will announce “This is where you die.” before creating a donut either close- or mid-range from him.
  If you get hit, you will get oneshot, and spawn a mini tombstone. Players near this tombstone will be feared.
• If the tombstone is not destroyed, the player will die.

Fear Blast - This attack will push players back and can only be casted after a Pounce.

Second Boss: Viyor

Key Mechanics

Extermination - Once the boss reaches 80% health, he will start doing this attack every 1 minute 30 seconds.

• The boss runs to the center and glows purple, before slamming the ground and releasing an energy wave that deals 150k damage.
• To survive, touch any one of the ghosts running around the edge of the run for a 3 second buff that deals damage over time and prevents you from using abilities but renders you immune to this attack.
• Touching the ghost gives ‘Curse of the Spectre’ for the achievements ‘Ethereal Chills’ and ‘Touched by Darkness’

Basic attacks

Jump - Deals damage in an AoE around the boss and will push players back.
Ghost Lines - The ghosts on the edge will fire off lasers that deals damage.

• Be aware that this mechanic happens in sync with any mechanic Viyor is doing, so be careful.

Special attacks

Explosion Axe - Viyor’s axe will glow as he raises it in the air, and the boss will randomly target a player and slam his axe in a large AoE on the ground. After a second, the axe will explode again, dealing damage and pushing players back.

• Both hits are blockable (block towards the boss). Thunderclap - The boss raises his axe, says

• Pauses before swinging down and summoning thunder where everyone was. It has potential of oneshotting you.
  The damage is applied when Viyor’s axe slams into the ground, not after.

Puddle - Viyor will target the player furthest away and throw an AoE puddle towards that person.

• Staying in this puddle will slow players and deal damage. This will disappear over time.

Paralyze - A modification of one of normal mode’s basic attacks, Viyor’s eyes will glint red and he will do a swing that will stun targets hit.
Ghost Bursters - Ghosts will spawn (announced by “A spirit rises!“) and follow players until they catch up, at which point they burst and deal high damage.

Third Boss: Desolarus

Key Mechanics

• Rokdos’s Spectre

After 90% HP, Desolarus will become immune and summon Rokdos.
It has the same attack patterns and mechanics except for the Spiral Beam Pillars.

• Viyor’s Spectre

After 50% HP, Desolarus will become immune and summon Viyor.
It has the same attack patterns and mechanics except for Extermination.

 Thunderclap is warned by **“I will wipe you out!“**

• Carpets

After Viyor is defeated, Desolarus will use this mechanic every 90 seconds.
Desolarus flies up into the air and there will be a very high amount of large one-shot carpets appearing randomly around the map.

• Good idea to stand in a cross intersection as this allows you to avoid these by simply walking.

• This will last 30 seconds.

  Desolarus will usually cast a Clover after every Carpet.
  

Basic attacks

Spirit Bomb and Dybbuk Chests - Occasionally, the boss targets a random pillar on the edge with a large Spirit Bomb.

• When the bomb hits the pillar, it will release a very large carpet on the ground, killing anyone who remains in the area after a short delay.

Special attacks

Clover - The boss releases two large attacks in a clover-shaped pattern.

 Getting hit by both hits will kill you.

Doom of Desolarus - Once Rokdos is defeated, Desolarus will start casting his own Curse, warned by
