Alexander - The Fist of the Son (Savage) or A5S is the first sector of Alexander: Midas (Savage).

Strategy

Syringes/Puddles

Overgulp (De-buff) - This de-buff starts off at a set time once you enter your first puddle, and every puddle you enter afterwards will cause the timer to go down. Usually by the end of the fight this de-buff can fall off, and to avoid this so healers aren't stuck healing you extra, just enter a puddle to refresh your timer if it gets too low.

Green - Used to remove the increasing stack de-buff that the 'Snake Adds' give out.

Blue - Used to remove the tether the 'Winged Lion' puts out.

Red - Used to turn into a monkey to knock back bomb's after boss casts 'Bomb's Away'.

Purple - Used by the entire group while boss is in big mode when the boss starts casting 'Boost' (to avoid high damage).

Extra: Keep boss and adds out of puddles otherwise they will get a buff.

Big Mode

Tank-Busters

Gobstraight - This move should be eaten by the tank alone (includes a nice knock-back •ᴗ•).
Gobcut - This move should be shared with the party.

Prey/Gobrush - This will mark a player and after a short time the boss will charge at this player. This player should run across the map (will include a pic for this), and healers should be ready to buff him up with a adlo or stoneskin even (if player takes damage he will get a de-buff and that's no good).

Note: The tank with the 'Concussion De-Buff' can not eat the Tank Busters. (So the tank provoking should be ready to either be with the group for Gobcut, or away for Gobstraight, also same thing for tank with the concussion they have to be away from party for the Gobcut and with the party for Gobstraight).

Small Mode

Glupgloop (Red'ish Star Marker) - Careful first one that goes off will mark two players, they should place these markers/puddles away from the group as well as away from the add spawns. Glassy-Eyed Cobra Spawn - Two player will get spit on and receive a De-Buff that increases in stacks over time, to take it off these two players have to step into the green puddle. (Note: it can splash onto anyone near the two players, so anyone with the de-buff be sure to cleanse yourself in the green puddle, 8 stack from the de-buff equals death).

'Note: Snake adds can be stunned to avoid their stacks from steel scales getting to high.

Shock Therapy - Healers be ready to tip top off the group with those nice AoE heals. (Player doing bombs can use this also as a indicator that bombs are coming in soon.) Bombs Away - This will drop the same bombs as in normal that you have to knock back to corners, but with a little twist. A Spike bomb will spawn that explodes in a + shape (I'll include a picture for this to better explain, possibly animate it if wiki allows gifs)

Lore

Sometimes even the most thrilling tale can benefit from slight embellishment, and the wandering minstrel's reimagining of your foray into Midas─while stretching the bounds of believability─proves to be even more invigorating than your memory of it. A memory you must relive in order to compare...
