1-minute Guide
In this room, different colored nylocas will spawn from 4 different directions. Each color represents a different attack style. The attack styles being: White (melee), Green (range), and Blue (mage). Every player should have their designated attack style to make things as smooth as possible. If you’re in a 4-man team 2 players should be on melee. One of the melee roles should be ready to switch to magic if the room gets too crowded with blue nylocas.
Avoid pillars falling
Most of the nylocas will try to damage one of the four pillars, you want to avoid the pillars being destroyed as this will hit you with 35 damage. Multiple pillars falling, a nylocas exploding or other events could easily combo you out if you’re not careful. If all pillars fall, the entire team gets wiped. Always focus on the pillars with the lowest health first.
Nylocas Boss
Once the nylocas waves are over, the Nylocas boss will spawn. You want to be ready to spec the boss out as they always spawn in their melee form. After that, the boss will assume a random attack style and your character will automatically stop attacking. Once this happens you want to switch your overhead prayers first and then your gear, hit two attacks and repeat.
Damage from the wrong combat style will be automatically reflected back at you, heal the boss, and on top of that having the wrong overhead prayers could very easily combo you out as the boss’s max hit is 60.
