Skills and AbilitiesEdit
As a boss type creature, the Engine Guardian is immune to all forms of crowd control effects. A tank is not really required for this fight, as the boss does not respond to taunts. Instead, it will move around the central pillar by itself. Every quarter round, the boss will randomly select a new "phase" to enter, and this is indicated by its color. It is possible to get two of the same phase in a row, but never three.
Fire PhaseEdit
During fire Phase, boss glows red.
- Burst of Flame
The boss emits a short jet of flame around itself, doing very high flame damage over time to all players hit by it. Players should stay at range to avoid being hit.
- Burning Volley
The boss shoots fireballs at random players, doing high flame damage as indicated by red circles.
Lightning PhaseEdit
During lightning phase, boss glows blue.
- Shocking Bolt
The boss does high shock damage to all players within its line of sight. Players can hide behind the central pillar to avoid this.
- Summon Dwarven Sphere
At the same time, the boss summons three Dwarven Spheres to attack the party. These spheres do moderate damage and should be killed as soon as possible.
Poison PhaseEdit
During poison phase, the boss glows green.
- Poisoned Air
The boss does high poison damage over time to all players in the room. Players can stop this by hitting the levers in the middle of the room, but it is possible to ignore the levers and heal through the damage instead. Completing the fight without using any of the levers grants an achievement, and is an optional objective for the Undaunted Pledge if the dungeon is in Veteran mode.
