Phases & Abilities

Warder of the Condemned: Erichthonios

Before the fight, it is a good idea to set markers and assign positions for players. The most common positioning is tanks and melee DPS at cardinal directions right around the center of the area (about the boss' hitbox across) and healers and ranged DPS at intercardinal directions in the far corners. These positions will be used for spreading before Aetherial Shackles and picking a starting and ending square during Intemperate Torment.

Ground-Razing Particle Beam: An unavoidable room-wide AOE. Mitigate and heal through.

Heavy Hand: A single target Tankbuster.

Warder's Wrath: An unavoidable room-wide AoE. Mitigate and heal through.

Aetherial Shackles: Places a red Shackles of Loneliness or purple debuff on two random players. The player with the red debuff should stand in a corner away from the boss while the player with the purple debuff should stand right beside the boss in a cardinal direction, with all other players standing in each other corner and cardinal direction around the boss. Shortly after placing the debuffs but before the attack goes off, Erichthonios casts Warder's Wrath, which should be healed before players spread to their appropriate positions.

Gaeoler's Flails: Erichthonios throws out two flails one by one, then attacks with them in the same order. He'll either throw out both a spike ball and a chakram, or two hooks. The spike ball is a point blank AoE centered around the boss and slightly larger than his hitbox. The chakram is the inverse with a donut AoE starting just outside his hitbox. The hook hits everything except for a 90 degree area on the opposite side of the boss.

Pitiless Flails of Grace: Tankbuster with knockback. Right after this hits, the off-tank will be hit with a follow-up attack that should be shared with the rest of the party.

Pitiless Flails of Purgation: Tankbuster with knockback. Right after this hits, a strong proximity-based AoE will go off from the location of the off-tank.

Intemperance: Changes the arena to a 3x3 grid with 3 fire, ice, or poison crystals above each of the outer squares.

Intemperate Torment: Erichthonios destroys the crystals above each square one by one, giving everyone either the Overwhelmed by Fire or Overwhelmed by Cold debuff. If you are overwhelmed by the element you are struck with, you will take extra damage, so players with the red debuff want to be hit by the blue attack, and vice versa. If you are on the purple cross between the zones or hit by a poison crystal, you will take heavy damage. Additionally, if every outer square isn't occupied by a player while the first and last crystals are destroyed, the entire raid will receive massive damage.

The first and third crystal that are destroyed are always either a fire or ice crystal. The second crystal is always a poison crystal for eastern and western squares, fire for the northern square, and ice for the southern square. After receiving the debuff from your square's first crystal, you must run to either the north or south square to receive the opposite debuff if your last crystal matches your first one, or wait in the middle to avoid all crystals if your first and last crystals are different elements.

Shortly after breaking the first and second crystal, the boss will cast Warder's Wrath for raid-wide damage.

Shining Cells: This attack deals unavoidable raidwide damage, slightly shrinks the play field, and then divides the arena into alternating red and blue wedges.

Aetherflail: Colored orbs will circle Erichthonios while he telegraphs two back to back attacks, similar to his Gaeoler's Flails attack. When the cast completes, all wedges that match the color of his orbs will explode and he'll swing his first flail. He'll then swing the second flail while the same wedges explode again.

Shackles of Time: Surrounds a player with purple chains. After the boss casts a following tankbuster, all wedges of the same color the debuffed player is standing on will explode.

Slam Shut: Ends the Shining Cells phase, dealing unavoidable raidwide damage.

Fourfold Shackle: Similar to Aetherial Shackles, but this time going off four times in a row. Every player will be randomly assigned a red or purple debuff with a 3, 8, 13, and 18 second timer on each, and must quickly get to corners and cardinal directions around the boss. It's recommended to preassign each location with a debuff timer value as there's a small window for everyone to get into position.
