The Second Circle

🔗 Toolbox

The safe spot to not die during this arrow mechanic is right behind the cardinal grates. Melees can keep uptime by hitting the boss at their arrow intercept position and then pulling back just behind the grate before getting locked into the mechanic.

Range can be as far out as they want. The farther out they are, the easier it is on the melees.

🔗 Toolbox

One tank and one DPS will be marked with "Mark of the Tides". After "Spoken Cataract/Winged Cataract" the two players will move out of the party stack.

Tanks should move to the left, and DPS should move to the right. Party will stay on the platform for the stack.

🔗 Pocket Video Guide

All players will be marked with numbers, and half of the players will also be tethered to the boss.

If you get tethered (blue numbers), check if you are odd or even:

Odds: move to the opposite platform where the boss jumped
Evens: stay on the grate under the boss
(lower numbers starting in front of the grate, higher numbers starting in the back)

If you are not tethered (purple numbers) move to the waymark that matches your number (minding the danger puddle)

🔗 Toolbox

Players with long arrow timers will spread to one of the safe spots (there are about 7 total safe spots for the 4 players to choose from), keeping in mind the direction of your arrow so you're not running halfway across the room for your arrow placement afterwards.

Players with short arrow timers will place themselves accordingly to knock into their opposing arrow, then spread out afterwards.

One tank and one DPS will be marked with "Mark of the Tides" again. This time the head is detached and will appear on one side of the arena making only one quadrant safe.

Determine the safe quadrant after the head appears and the boss starts casting "Spoken Cataract/Winged Cataract". The party should stack on the safe grate and the two marked players will split off into the safe quadrant as follows:

Tank: at the wall in the middle of the arena
DPS: in the corner of the arena

This time, players with long timers will all stack on the diagonal safe platform while the short timers will go to their arrow positions.

Stacked players should be behind the long timer Tank so they can pick up the Coherence tether and run it away from the party. Once the Tank moves out, the long timer players can move to the inner corner of the safe platform to avoid the arrows.

After first arrows resolve everyone will group up on the safe diagonal platform with the short timer Tank infront to soak the Coherence cast.

After Coherence, long timer arrows move to the appropriate arrow positions.
