The Darkened Sea Info & Guides: Overview | Progression & Task List | Raiding | Visible Armor This is a raid event in the expedition into Arx Mentis. Summary Initially: - Aggro and/or kill any hostile mob to trigger the event. - Mayor Livio and Captain Tita arrive along with 48 troops (12 at each ramp); trigger the event through dialogue with the Mayor. - Firiona Vie and friends will be here to assist (beneficial spells will be cast by them). --- Hostile mobs in this raid can aggro and attack friendly NPCs. --- If Firiona Vie dies, the event immediately resets. Phase One: - Once triggered, one of the groups of 12 "August" mobs activates (they activate four at a time, five seconds apart). --- Once active, these 12 mobs become unrooted and attackable by normal means. --- The remaining three groups do NOT aggro at this point; however, their casters (unattackable) cast offensive spells on random players. --- August Magio cast: ------ "Eldritch Binding" (melee slow + snare) ------ "Mind-Numbing Sonics" (mez spell) ------ "Pillar of Claws" (targeted AE dmg) ------ "Burning Essence" (targeted AE dmg) --------- These targeted AEs are preceded by personal emotes seen by the targeted player, but can only be seen if within a certain range of the NPC casting it. --- August Vitali cast: ------ "Primary's Retort" (reverse dmg shield) ------ "Praetor's Contravention" (dmg spell + heal for target's target) ------ "Purge" (NPC cures of poison, curse, disease, and corruption) ------ "Word of the Citadel" (PBAE stun + dmg) - Once an entire troop is dead (12 "August" mobs), the event progresses to the next phase. Phase Two: - Now, the remaining August NPCs make formations: --- Soldiers are perma-rooted (for now) and are attackable by melee, but not by range or spells. --- Magio and Vitali are immune to all damage, but continue using spell attacks on players. --- Once five of the troops in a formation are dead, all remaining mobs in that formation become mobile, attackable, and killable. - If any trooper is kited (outside 20' range), it casts a snare spell on its target. Phase Three: - Captain Tita aggros when one of three things occur: --- If one formation is entirely killed; --- If more than half of all soldiers are killed; or --- If 6 minutes pass after the formation phase began - When Captain Tita goes aggro, all remaining August troops become unrooted / standard aggro as well. - Captain Tita from 100% to 25% casts "Rear Sweep" (directional/rear AE dmg) and "Burning Slap" (DOT to second-most hated). - Captain Tita from 25% to finish casts "Rear Sweep" and "Shield Bash" (dmg + stun), and becomes more avoidant to melee damage. - Any time a trooper dies, Captain Tita places that mob's most hated target at the top of her own hate list. - If Captain Tita is kited, she casts "Tendon Cut" on her target. - Kill Captain Tita and all troops to win the event. - Reset: If Captain Tita is idle for 30 seconds, the event resets.
