World Boss Guide

Clergywoman - Raging Tide · February 2011

version 1.11

most bosses are soloable meaning one damagedealder & cleric or a guardian charm. some are venoable, meaning one veno is enough. with lower level and worse equipped squads it is mostly recommended to bring a second cleric to additionally heal the tank/squad and purify.

respawn time of bosses have been changed to 96 hours (4 days) some need 1 hour less some 1 hour more to respawn.

this guide is not done yet, but you can help improving it by giving
-class specific remarks
-providing the timings of specific boss attacks/debuffs
-of course by correcting possible mistakes i made
-and last but not least... spelling

easy, don't go afk, you will die

shadow doll @ 659 524 east of sanctuary

•decrease attack rate
•aoe interrupt
•aoe lifeleach (only animation, no effect)

strategy:
blue bubble (regeneration aura) anywhere and damage dealer/tank can kill boss unhurriedly.

remarks for clerics:
he tends to interrupt bb very rarely, so make sure to have full chi before you start.

soul hunter @ 658 434 south of forest runins

•aoe channeling slowed
•aoe aecreased attack rate
•aoe maximum hp decreased
after 20 minutes:
•aoe stun

strategy:
blue bubble (regeneration aura) anywhere and damage dealer/tank can kill boss unhurriedly. soloable by ranged classes, since he does 0 ranged damage. also a ranged classes only squad is possible, since he doesn't inflict any aoe damage.

remarks for clerics:
if you really are not going to make it within 20min (i highly doubt it) some bloodpaint dependent players might die, even the tank, since you are going to be stunned too. protip: vacuity powder (apoth) / adrenaline surge(genie) or, just in case you will have to res someone, purify yourself just before you get stunned. in other words purifiy has to channel already when you are stunned, timig is of the essence. the much easier way to deal with him after 20min is to switch to ranged attacks only.

hornska lord @ 653 390 north of dreamweaver

•increased physical attack
•close range aoe stun
•close ranged physical aoe attack

strategy:
blue bubble (regeneration aura) at ~max range to damage dealer/tank. else his close aoe stun will interrupt bb!

remarks for clerics:
if you don't know the max range of your bb, set it up before you start and let a squad member stand at max range of bb. then the luring player has to pull the boss to the player that is standing on the edge of bb range. now everyone can kill the boss safely without the risk of bb being interrupted.

auprus: ton @ 151 340 southwest corner of the map

•aoe range manadrain
•frontal stun (on secondary aggro holder)
•frontal increased damage taken (on secondary aggro holder)

strategy:
blue bubble (regeneration aura) and damage dealer/tank can kill it unhurriedly.

remarks for clerics:
if you don't like to waste some additonal manaherbs/pots due to manadrain, it is of course possible to heal the tank in the ordinary way, provided the dd's won't die as soon as they steal aggro, in that case a 2nd cleric to purify your manadrain druning bb will do the trick. auprus: ton has a frontal stun vs the secondary aggro holder, so if there are just the two of you, make sure to set blue bubble (regeneration aura) behind boss! (healaggro in this case)

alphaleus @ 162 427 southwest on map in the deserted sea

•frontal physical aoe attack

strategy:
blue bubble (regeneration aura) behind boss and damage dealer/tank can kill it unhurriedly.

minion of death @ 172 787 northeast of brimstone

•frontal increased damage taken

strategy:
he hits really HARD, blue bubble (regeneration aura) is a must. if barb is not op or you don't have a barb, you will need a second cleric to heal additionally and purify aggro holder else perfect spark timing to purify the debuffs is imperative.

ancient spearman @ 252 755 southeast of thousand streams

•metal damage over time
•close range decreased accuracy
•close range earth damage over time
•close range manaburn

strategy:
cleric has to heal/purify from max range.

machinoslitt @ 236 867 west of thousand streams

•aoe water resistance decreased
•aoe water attack surrounding aggro holder, not boss.

strategy
cleric has to heal/purify aoe heal from max range.

cerberean sentinel @ 159 976 near eden

•very HARD mid range aoe that will 1shot most
•decreased physical defense
•decreased magical defense
•aoe stun

strategy:
since he debuffs and hits REALLY hard a blue bubble (regeneration aura) just outside of his aoe range is highly recommended. else non barbs will be killed by his aoe. bb will be interrupted by his stun from time to time, so the dd/tank at the boss should use skills or genie (absolute domain e.g.) to stay alive till new bb is set up. a second cleric makes this a lot easier. if you stick to ih & purify tank at max range, the other close range dd are likely to die. so the easy going squad would be: a good tank, a cleric and ranged classes.

remarks for venos and wizards:
don't even try. he hates venos and wizards! he will go after you merciless and kill you over and over again. i am NOT joking!

watcher of chasm @ 289 963 east of eden

•increased physical defense on himself
•manadrain on aggro holder
•aoe wood damage over time
•aoe physical attack

strategy:
blue bubble (regeneration aura) anywhere and damage dealer/tank can kill boss unhurriedly.

mystery of antiquity @ 314 955 south of avalanche village

•seal (aggro holder can't use any attacks or skills)
•aoe metal resistance decreased
•aoe metal (interrupts bb)

strategy:
cleric has to heal and purify aggro holding player and aoe heal from time to time.

remarks for clerics:
if you feel lazy you can bring a second cleric and take turns in setting up bb.

protip: if you have a potential aggro stealing dd in squad, that is squishy and is to fail to control his/her damage, then do as the boss does, expell the potential aggro stealer from time to time

cenminator @ 639 868 way east of etherblade on the beach

•frontal manaburn
•frontal decreased accuracy
•frontal decrease attack rate
•if he kills someone he will regain 1m hp

strategy:
since this is a low lvl area i advise to move him away from beach, the bridge to the west seems nice, else some low lvl ppl might wann join and get 1shotted, and thereby refilling his hp
clerc is to set up blue bubble (regeneration aura) behind boss so damage dealer/tank. any dd that might steal aggro from tank should not be on bb side! if he turns to bb: risk of wipe !

sword tamer @ 480 570 at heavens tear

•aoe wood damage over time
•increased Channeling speed
•aoe chiburn

strategy:
blue bubble (regeneration aura) behind boss and damage dealer/tank can kill it unhurriedly.

remarks for archers:
you are safe from his chiburn at max bow range.

dipter @ 440 752 west of archosaur

•aoe manadrain
•random aggro

strategy:
heal the tank from max range, since bb will be interrupted eventually. by random aggo i mean 99% of the time cleric, so keep your plumeshell and other def skills up he might tick your charm...or kill you if you are squishy

broadkris drudge @ 438 471 below lunar

•increased damage taken
•close range manadrain
•close range daecreased attack rate
•close range channeling slowed
•close range bleed
•aoe physical attack

strategy:
cleric has to heal and purify barb, and aoe heal close range dd. if sin takes aggro.. sin dies, if bm takes aggro he can tank, till he gets debuffed. if you dont have a barb, then a bm can tank it with 2 clerics, one sage purifies only the ohter heals. yes he is that bad :P

sonic oppressor @ 553 437 west of wraithgate

•random aggro, even at people not in squad (VERY VERY HARD)
•physical aoe (VERY VERY HARD)

strategy:
cleric is to heal tank and dd from above to avoid getting hit. to make it even easier, all but tank should be in air to avoid his very hard aoe.

rottenflesh @ 367 473 in old heavens tear

•bramble hood
•aoe earth damage over time
•random earth damage over time

strategy:
clerc is to set up blue bubble (regeneration aura) anywhere and damage dealer/tank can kill unhurriedly. depending on hp of the tanking player and power of the bb, a secondary cleric might be necessary to support heal / purify.

warning:
do not play aggro ping pong on him, each time u get aggro you'll get new dot, if you are unlucky you will have random dot, aoe dot, 2x aggro dot, be low on helth and inbetween bb heals -> r.i.p.

poleaxe deathrider @ 345 459 in old heavens tear

•stun
•aoe decreased attack rate
•a physical aoe
when he has less than 50% hp:
•aoe manaburn

strategy:
his manaburn eats mana in no time, hence a second cleric is advisable, even if you call sage purify your own. first cleric has to heal tank and purfy squad from max range, while second cleric has to purify/heal first cleric out of manaburn-range.

cloudstroller @ 334 596 in oht2 (unicorn forest)

•aoe fire resistance decreased
•aoe bleed
•aoe channeling slowed
•aoe daecreased attack rate
•fire aoe
•physical aoe
•random aggro (favors clerics, especially those in bb)

strategy:
cleric has to heal, purify, and aoe heal. blue bubble (regeneration aura) not stable

ossein lord: flame @ 365 610 in oht2 (unicorn forest)

•stun
•aoe maximum hp decreased
•decreased physical defense to 0
•physical aoe (immediately after his decreased physical defense)

strategy:
cleric has to heal tank / aoe heal.

remarks for clerics:
keep your defense up all the time, since pdef will be decreased to 0 right before aoe. sqaud can help by sparking to purify themselfs, since even sage purify takes some time.

ossein lord: venom @ 421 570 in oht3 (valley of the scarred)

•metal damage over time
•decreased evasion
•aoe fire dmg

strategy:
clerc is to set up blue bubble (regeneration aura) anywhere and damage dealer/tank can kill unhurriedly. depending on hp of the tanking player and power of the bb, a secondary cleric might be necessary to supoort heal / purify.

earthen hulk @ 476 623 in oht3 (valley of the scarred)

when he has less than 50% hp:
•aoe stun
•aoe maximum hp decreased
•a random multi-sleep

strategy:
clerc has just to heal and purify when not slept/stunned.

frostagelion type-0 @ 477 476 in oht4 (moonshade desert)

•wood damage over time
•aoe water resistance decreased
•aoe water attack (interrupts bb)
if he kills someone, he will buff himself with:
•increased attack rate
•increased magic attack
•increased physical attack

strategy:
cleric has to heal tank and aoe-heal after boss-aoe. if someone should die, veno is to purge boss.

hellgate watchdog @ 462 521 in oht4 (moonshade desert)

•close range manadrain (only the animation,has not effect)
•fire attack
•aoe mag attack (interrupts bb)

strategy:
cleric has to heal tank and aoe heal, if needed.

Asterelle - Sanctuary_1381265973 · February 2011

Nice guide, I have a few remarks

frostagelion type-0 - buffs self with increase phys attack / phys defense / mag defense when anyone dies. This needs to be purged.

ossein lord: flame - you can BB at max range and it won't drop but the range has to be exact

poleaxe deathrider - have one cleric BB and the other cleric purifies the mana drain off of BB cleric and themselves. The mana drain is intense so demon clerics are pretty useful. 5aps DD don't really use mana and don't need to be purified.

sonic oppressor - clerics can heal safely from overhead and won't be aggroed. Tank needs like 15k hp and 15k pdef for it to be safe.

mystery of antiquity - I have heard this boss actually has a 23 hr respawn but I don't really do him regularly so I'm not sure.

Man - Raging Tide · February 2011

This should be stickied

Lenley - Dreamweaver · February 2011

Ever heard of capital letters? Might make the whole thing more reader-friendly. Also, general formatting, e.g. bolding and/or increasing font size of headers, bullet points for lists, etc., would be nice.

For specifics, 'squadmember' and 'aggrostealer' should be split into two words each, and 'supoort' and 'squishes' should be corrected.

While I'm nowhere near high enough level to use any of this, it seems a well put-together guide.

Yudai - Sanctuary · February 2011

Nice guide, should be really helpful when my fac tries out a couple more WB's that we havent killed yet

one thing though, Dipter is West of Archosaur, not east.

frankieraye · February 2011

Nicely done, sticky applied

CandyCorn - Raging Tide · February 2011

nice guide

Deceptistar - Sanctuary · February 2011

u can just bb druge with another cleric on puri.
interrupts a few but we live.

cerberean sentinel
you can control who he kills (that 1 shot)

Krisnda - Lost City · February 2011

I like this guide. I assume all the buffs the boss does can be purged?

Brigid - Harshlands · February 2011

I believe Watcher of Chasm can also interrupt BB, though I'm not certain as I was dualboxing both the BB cleric (low 7x) and tank (95 archer with mediocre gear) at the time. All I know is that BB went down then I got 3-shot.

For world bosses..

Dimensional seal + standard heals/purify if needed is best for most of these bosses, as it will add efficiency to what you do. The faster you can do world bosses, the more you can snag up before other people get to them = more money.

Blue bubble is needed at a lot of bosses. Take Minion of Death can kill tank pretty easy without it. Also think about the charm ticks. If tank loses 500k charm that is not very efficient.

Lets face it, most tanks now days will be 12k hp bms or 10k hp assasins. Even assassins at 16k can tick really easy.

Evanera - Heavens Tear · February 2011

You need BB for like..4-5 world bosses?

Why are you doing world bosses with a charmed tank? A good cleric can easily solo heal a bm/sin tank who is uncharmed.

If you need BB for any World boss besides - MoD, Broadkris, Poleaxe (maybe), Ossein Fire, or Hornska (maybe) then you need to upgrade your skill more than likely. Also, there's a good chance that you're better off doing other things for money instead of world bosses.

Clergywoman - Raging Tide · February 2011

thank you for the responses and your additions, keep it up! i will update the guide as soon as i have verified the suggestions.

this guide has been written from the perspective of a cleric, it lacks the views of other classes. especially of barbarians, since they are closer to the events than clerics.

thank you evanera, but saying to a cleric to use seals is like saying to a bm to use heaven's flame, kinda self-evident. and bb is always preferable, because that way even sins (op of course) can tank most bosses - a barb is not always available. and even if you have a barb, very very few of them can even think about holding aggro when a sin is present. you may have also noticed that once a charm is equipped, you cannot un-equip it. so yes, a bb saves charm-ticks, enables non-barbs to tank and you can play a lazy afk cleric.

Because people put on charms for pk or Territory War, residual charms and no off button.

Bosses that bb is good for... or possible for Cerebean Sentinel, Minion Of Death, Cenimator, Honrska is good for, esp right away and sonic oppressor.

As a side note i notice some bosses are capable of some big spike dmg. Third map boss earthen hulk, Minion Of death with amp, and Honrska, with initial stun or flury of magic attacks.

SoulHunter, Alphs, and Cenimator can be tanked by a ranged venomancer pet pretty easily.

Last tip is you probably don't want to do boss at spawn point. Kill it at an alternate location. Lure boss, and like a thief in the night the boss will be gone in 10 seconds, leaving your enemies wondering about spawn time and or where the boss went. Leaves of an opening to be pk'd or KS's. I would not hesitate to lure to a SZ, you can do this pretty easily with OHT 1 Fatty, Mysteries of antiquity, Alphs, Ausprus Ton.

hello qqme and now pwi forums,
we didn't have a worldboss guide, so i made one...
and since this guide has been stolen and posted on ******* forums i decided to make it public.

version 1.09

strategies were ment for qqme squads, meaning high lvl and kinda op. most bosses are "soloable" aka 1dd+1cleric/charm. some are venoable, meaning one veno is enough. with lower level and worse equipped squads it is mostly recommended to bring a second cleric to additionally heal the tank/squad and purify.

easy, don't go afk, you will die

respawn time of bosses = 24 h

-class specific remarks
-providing the timings of specific boss attacks/debuffs
-of course by correcting possible mistakes i made
-and last but not least... spelling

i sent several pm to the mods explaining the problem in full detail.
i even sent a link to the "raw" text version of the (former) latest updated guide (even with the board-code), so the mods could just copy and paste it, if there were not able to fix it. but after several pm, and weeks of waiting i gave up, indeed.

due to the thread-start bug where "preview"="post" AdiLynnRose found an older version of the guide. luckily the tripplepost was never cleaned, so there is still the original but outdated version available.
