Explorable (Level 80)

Spoiler

Path 1 (Jotun): Hard path. Takes about 60-90 minutes with decent team.
Path 2 (Mursaat): Hard path. Takes about 45-75 minutes with decent team.
Path 3 (Forgotten): Hard path. Takes about 30-60 minutes with decent team.
Path 4 (Seer): Very hard path. Takes about 90-150 minutes with decent team.
Focus Illusionists (extreme damage Chaos Storm) and Deadeyes (extreme damage ranged attack).

Path 1: Jotun

Spoiler

Start

Enemies are often skipped. After door stick to right side.
Before door: 2 Silver-Risen (Elementalist, Hunter, Illusionist, Mage).
Ambush: ~4 Vile Oozes (Silver).
On left side: 3 Silver-Risen (Elementalist, Hunter, Illusionist, Mage). They move to middle if you get close.
3 Orrian Guard Turrets (Structure) and ~3 corpses.
On left way: Ambush: 12 Undead Spider Hatchlings (Normal) and 3 Orrian Spiders (Normal).
- Go right way.
Skip ends when you get inside cave (two ways to enter). Clean up both Spider-ambushes.
On left way: Ambush: 5 Undead Spider Hatchlings (Normal).
On right way: 3 Silver-Risen (Elementalist, Hunter, Illusionist, Mage).
On open area: ~6 Orrian Guard Turrets (Structure)
Before aggroing Ooze it is good to clear nearby Guard Turrets and Risen. This makes skipping easier and removes risk of aggroing them during fight.

Ancient Ooze

Killing spawns a chest at Jotun.
Exploit: Jump on a coral-tree and Ooze can't hit you.
Bounce (moving): Dash with PBAoE (3 hits in 2 s). High damage and Launch (3.5 s) per tick. Used at distant targets. Used every ~8 s. "Glows (1 s) and starts bouncing".
- If ranged: keep slowed and stay at distance.
- If melee: keep chasing and dodge at opposite direction Ooze is going.
Bounce (still): 6 PBAoEs in 4 s. High damage and Launch (3.5 s) per tick. Used at close targets. Used every ~10 s. "Glows (1 s) and starts bouncing".
- If ranged: relax.
- If melee: dodge back and get back in fast so Ooze doesn't use other skill.
At 25% splits to two Champion Oozes and drops "Blood of the Ancient"-bundle. Bundle constantly spawns Vile Oozes (Silver). Bring it to Jotun as fast as possible (dodge to move faster)..
- To make run shorter pull Ooze near Jotun before it splits (or use Portal).
- Escorting is very fast if everyone participates. Drop bundle when out of dodges and someone else picks it up. Requires good coordination.

Way to Crystalline Entities

Enemies are often skipped. Skip will be much easier if you can lose aggro of Champion Oozes before going in.
On open area: enemies you didn't kill.
4 Silver-Risen (Elementalist, Hunter, Illusionist, Mage).
On left side: Ambush: ~3 Vile Oozes (Silver).
On right side: Ambush: ~3 Vile Oozes (Silver).
2 Orrian Drakes (Silver).

The spider room

Two respawning Reflecting Crystals. Crystals are needed for end-boss.
Ambush: 2 Orrian Spiders (Champion), 3 Orrian Spiders (Silver) and ~10 Orrian Spiders (Normal). Often skipped (grab a Crystal and run!).
- Can be a very tough fight unless one player can kite Champions while everyone else kills rest.
- If you have Staff from Korga it is very useful here.

Jotun Stargazer (Legendary)

Gather 3-5 Reflecting Crystals before engaging. Use Crystals to reflect projectiles and cover up party-members.
- Damage of reflected projectiles depends on offensive stats. Try make sure top damage dealers get hit (also bring offensive utilities).
- When reviving cover downed people with your body.
Homing projectile: Homing projectile. Fatal damage. "Swings left arm (0.5 s)".
- Use Reflecting Crystals (or reflecting skills) to reflect.

Flame-wall: Shrinking AoE-field. Passing causes fatal damage.
- If someone needs to get in prepare to revive.

Path 2: Mursaat.

Spoiler

Operative Belka

Exploit: Belka can't hit you if you attack from 1200 range.
Belka is immobilized so she doesn't reset unless you wipe. This allows hit&run-tactic if needed.
Fan of Fire: 3 medium-range piercing projectiles (cone). Low damage and Burning per hit. Basic attack.
Teleports: Teleport + projectile-reflection (~5 s).
Knockback bolt: Projectile. Medium damage and Knockback.

One players takes the suit and reapplies shield when needed.
- Alternatively just run without suit.
Everyone else charges the suit.
- Charge when "Energized" buff disappears, don't wait until shield runs out!
- Decide initial order.
- Good idea to call "Charge"-skill before charging to avoid overlap (if problems).
Everyone else also brings mobility, stealth, etc.
Leave dead people behind. You get a waypoint in the end and enemies start attacking a beacon.
- Bug: enemies have long range and they will hit people at waypoint. Use immunity/evade if you use that waypoint.

Berserker Abomination

3 respawning Inquest (Normal) on area. Killing drops a Tranquilizer.
Abomination Swipe: Slow melee. Very high damage. Basic attack. "Slow swing".
- Circle-strafe or run through to avoid.

- Moving works, dodging is more safe.
Berserks: Initial Knockback. Grants invulnerability? and more damage. Inflicts very strong Burning on melee-range.
- Use a Tranquilizer or interrupt.
- Tranquilizing interrupts animations but doesn't stop attacks so watch out for unfinished attacks (rock, etc.).

Giganticus Lupicus: Check Giganticus Lupicus

Water & Big mine field

When you reach end of first water area go and right, then follow sharks and blue torches.
Hug right on big mine field to find "secret, no mines at all" way.

- Stay behind Crusher or dodge.
Crusher Healing Signet: Passive Healing. Used to heal.
Crusher Revive Shout: Revives nearby allies. Revived allies die when Crusher dies.

- If you pull him back he will revive 3 Silvers (so you have to kill them again).
Crusher Plague Shout: Transfers conditions to nearby enemies.
Hunter Evasive Trap: Dodges to lay trap: Medium damage, 3 Bleeding (5 s, 87 per tick) and Immobilized (5 s). Only used if Hunter is targeted.

Way to Mage Crusher

~6 groups of ~4 Silver-Risen (Elementalist, Hunter, Illusionist, Mage). Skippable.
After reaching wide area (with Giant (Champion)) there's three ways (left, forward, right).
Left-way is used most often but some groups may go right too. In both ways you get ambushed by Orrian Spider (Champion) and 2 Orrian Spiders (Silver). Skippable.
- In both ways you can run past spiders and lose aggro. However ambush in left-way is further away from the boss which makes it easier to lose aggro.
- If you go forward there's about 6 Silver-Risen and 6 Normal-Risen which are harder to skip.
Run to cliff near Mage Crusher to lose aggro.

Wraithlord's Mage Crusher (Legendary)

Exploit: There's a spot close to him where you can keep attacking but he won't attack you.
Multiple respawning Risen Hands (Structure) in area.
Fetid Blast: Slow projectile with AoE. High damage and Poison (10 s, 188 per tick). "Swings left arm".

- Try to outrange, break line of sight or keep dodging.

Corrupted light

To open closed doors you must place place Light near them.
Carrying Light does ~2000 damage every second so you need to pass it to each other.
- Target bit after everyone or it just lands on their foot and you lose it.
- Take mobility and healing skills so you can carry it further.
- Right before taking Light you can use weapon-mobility skills (like Warrior Rush).
- You can also use weapon-skills right before someone throws it at you (bit risky and needs good timing so don't do it unless there's someone else around).
First gate: Short distance. Every class should be able to solo it.
Second gate: Much longer distance. Some classes can solo it though (Mesmer Portal).
- Move as a close group, try stay front of Light-carrier. This makes throwing near impossible to fail.

Giganticus Lupicus: Check Giganticus Lupicus

Way to end fight

Cleansing chicken

1 Wraithlord, 3 circles, 2 Risen Wraiths [Corruptor] (Silver) per circle.
- Wraithlord is invulnerable, surrounded with high damage aura, uses Grasping Dead and occasionally dashes to a circle.
Goal is to control circles. You convert a circle by having more players than enemies inside. Similarly it gets converted back if there are more enemies than players.
- With equal players and enemies color of circle changes to blue, however it doesn't converted!
- Pillars shoot white/green projectiles to chicken based on control. Rely on that instead of circles.
1-2 players should aggro Wraiths by hitting them and then just run around the area.
Rest of the players should keep circles controlled. Avoid hitting Wraiths so you don't get aggro.
- If Wraithlord dashes to your circle keep distance but still stay inside circle.
- It is usually easier and faster if cappers wait behind until runners have aggro.

Wraithlord (Legendary)

Corruption: Increases damage you take from boss attacks. Stand on white light (appears once in a while) to remove.
- 5: Stun (1.5 s).
- 10: Stun (1.5 s). Damage taken ~2 x.

Lupine Blast (1,2): Dash. End effect: 2 PBAoEs. First: No effect. Second: High damage, 5 Corruption and Immobilized. Only used at distant targets.
- Single-blocks won't work because "fake" hit.

Avoid and rally.

- Dodge through.
Fire-AoE: Multiple delayed (3 s) ticking AoEs. Medium damage and Burning per hit. Initial effect: ~8000 damage.
- Avoid.

To Melandru

~5 Silver-Weapons.
Moving green stuff and aoes, avoid.
5 Silver-Risen.
Use buckets to activate stumps (guarded by 1-2 Orrian Gorillas (Silver)).

Vahid, High Priest of Melandru

Common tactic is afk at range. Melee is possible but is very dangerous.
Vahid doesn't move.
Launch: PBAoE. Launch. "Two explosions".
- Dodge/block when you see second explosion.
Spawns Trees.
- Ignore.

Farnaz, High Priestess of Lyssa

Moa: Morphs target to Moa. "Purple glow".
- Try to dodge.
Summons clones.
- Kill.
Summons multiple clones. Inflicts 5 Confusion per clone when killed (easily gets to 25).
- Use area-effects to bring them down.
- Use condition-removal (party-wide if possible), stop attacking if needed.
Staff attack: Projectile. Medium damage and random condition.

Corrupted light

To open closed doors you must place place Light near them.
Carrying Light does ~2000 damage every second so you need to pass it to each other.
- Target bit after everyone or it just lands on their foot and you lose it.
- Take mobility and healing skills so you can carry it further.
- Right before taking Light you can use weapon-mobility skills (like Warrior Rush).
- You can also use weapon-skills right before someone throws it at you (bit risky and needs good timing so don't do it unless there's someone else around).
First gate: Short distance. Every class should be able to solo it.
Second gate: Much longer distance. Some classes can solo it though (Mesmer Portal).
- Move as a close group, try stay front of Light-carrier. This makes throwing near impossible to fail.

Giganticus Lupicus: Check Giganticus Lupicus

Ghasem, High Priest of Grenth

Clear two ambushes at black spots (sweep the area).
Activate Priest by killing Undead Wraith.
Wraith teleports to black spots (total of five) always following same rotation.
- Learn the rotation. This allows you to assist people.
- Hit (melee) Wraith immediatelly to avoid it resetting.
Kill veteran enemies to kill Priest.
Run through falling rocks and fall from cliff to skip enemies.

Simin, High Priestess of Dwayna

Hopefully helping image.
Use offensive consumables and utilities. Swap gear/traits if possible.
Stack plenty of "Tears of Dwayna" at one spot. Decide roles: North-runner (3-sparks), South-runner (2-sparks) and Tear-thrower.
Runners: Mobility (at least Swiftness). If needed, Stability to prevent Petrify during run.
Non-runners: Hug wall when Simin disappears.
Tear-thrower (ranged, lowest DPS): Watch party-UI (non-simplified) and use tears to cure Petrify. Attack when possible.
- This is very important role so focus. Proper curing gives high boost to DPS and spark-runs.
Non-tear-throwers: Keep eye on general situation and use tears if needed.
Dark Pact: Ranged-attack. Low damage and "Dead Eyed Stare" if not already.
Chain-bolt: Bouncing projectile (3 bounces, high damage). Medium damage per hit.
Storm: AoE-ticks. Random damage (medium to very high) per tick.
Cloak, Invulnerability and Regen: Used periodically when below 50% health.
- Lure Sparks to middle statue to break.
- Popular starting tactic (4-1) is running only 4 Sparks and letting Simin come out naturally (after 1 minute). Next time you just have to run 1 Spark which makes Cloak extremely short.
- If you are slow and timer always runs out it may feel that it's "stuck" on 50%. Try to improve your tactic and execution.
Dead Eyed Stare: Debuff which slows movement and skill recharge. Inflicts "Petrified" upon expire.
Petrified: Debuff which "stuns". Inflicts "Petrified" upon expire.
- Use "Tears of Dwayna" to cure.
- Stability prevents effect but doesn't prevent status.
- Bug: If "Dead Eyed Stare" ends while "Petrified" you can just attack to break the effect (status remains).

Drake (Champion)

After Simin, head north-east to Champion Drake. Skippable.
Unlike every other Drake in the game this one is actually dangerous. It shoots homing missiles! (ok, some kind of balls).
After the Drake keep hugging the left wall until you see a well. Jump down to well and keep going!

Bloodstone Shard

Mix of every Priest/Priestess encountered.
Most importantly cure "Petrified", kill summons and avoid AoE.
- No knocking poison balls on melee range.

Giganticus Lupicus (Legendary)

Spoiler

On big room you can hug left/right wall to skip most of the enemies (risky if you aggro too much).
Three phases, triggered at 75% and 50%.
Get immunity, blocks, Vigor, etc.
To quickly gain health run to other side of the arena to get out of combat (don't do this with 1-2 alive).
Example video: http://www.youtu.be/Ui9kSD4aGOA

Phase one

Ranged players should stack to kill Grubs and Locusts faster.
Melee players should avoid each other and not stay in front of Lupicus. Lupicus will turn to face you when it is going to attack/infect.
- Warning: If you can't dodge infection you will most likely hurt your team.
Infects players: Inflicts green-effect. Grubs spawns after ~5 seconds. Only targets players. "Waves hand in a circle with green-effect".
- Dodge when its hand is up. Dodging it prevents Grub from spawning.
- Run to other players when infected to allow everyone focus it.
Roars: Does nothing (usually connected to Grub spawning but that has its own timer).
Spawns Locusts: Deals high damage upon contact.
- Focus them down if stacking.
- Keep moving to avoid damage (circle, etc.).
Kick: Melee. Very high damage and Knockback. Usually used between every other attack (sometimes not at all, rarely twice). "Leans bit on left foot".
- Dodge, if you are too slow try to predict it.
Phase two starts when Lupicus reaches 75% health. It turns invulnerable and infects nearest target (unavoidable, targets non-players too). Infected player should run away from Lupicus. Scatter and focus last Grubs.

Phase two

When low health get away from Lupicus to trigger "out-of-combat" regeneration. Careful, if everyone is out-of-range it will reset.
Lupine Blast: Projectile with small AoE. Very high damage and Poison (~5 s). Doesn't hit on melee-range. "Turns bit left and shoots from left hand".
- Keep side-stepping to one direction. Change direction to avoid.
- Dodge if unsure.
- Very dangerous when reviving because it will hit you both.
Frenzied Blasts: Channels projectiles with small AoE (360 degrees). Three waves of multiple projectiles. Very high damage per hit. Ballistic-curve. ~20 s cooldown. "Puts hands on its chest and leans bit forward".
- Warning: All circles won't get drawn. You may get hit out of circles by "rogue" projectiles.
- At long range circles may disappear before projectile arrives.
- May use Lupine Blast very quickly after this.
- Dodge twice, use AoE anti-projectile skills (Mesmer Feedback extremely effective on melee-range) or invulnerability skill.
- If you run out of everything try to out-range whole attack (if everyone does this you risk reset).
Dash: Dash with PBAoE at end. Very high damage and Knockdown. Evades. Only used on distant targets. Sometimes uses Lupine Blast mid-dash.
- Dodge, leap, teleport or dash.
- Targets same player (highest armor?).
Melee: Melee. Very high damage, 3 Bleeding (~20 s) and Knockback. "Slow swing".
- Dodge.
Phase three starts when Lupicus reaches 50% health. It turns invulnerable and uses mini-Frenzied Blasts.
- Lupicus may revert back to phase 2 (especially transition phase) if you let it self-heal with life-steal.

Phase three

Necrid Trap: Channels AoE (extreme damage). High damage per tick. Edges Knockback preventing escape. Used on melee range. Tracks movement. Used on downed and moving targets. "Leans bit back and raises arms."
- Try stay still unless avoiding something.
- Stability, immunity or warp out.
Frenzied Blast: Channels slightly homing projectiles on area (extreme damage). Medium damage per hit. Used on melee-range. "Shakes both hands pointed at you and leans bit forward".
- Dodge, twice if needed.
Life Drain: Channels huge PBAoEs (very high damage). Medium life-steal per hit. "Raises its arm and start rising to air".
- Run away dodging.
Life Drink: Channels ranged-attacks (~5 hits, extreme damage). Medium life-steal per hit. "Moves right arm to very left and starts pointing at you".
- Dodge twice.
Lupine Blast: Projectile with small AoE. Very high damage and Poison. Doesn't hit on melee range. "Uses right hand instead".
- Keep side-stepping to one direction. Change direction to avoid.
- Dodge if unsure.
- Very dangerous when reviving because it will hit you both.
Lupine Death: Channels projectiles with small AoE (360 degrees). High damage per hit. Ballistic curve. Used upon death.
