Bosses

Corewarden Nysarra

For this fight, Nysarra will start the fight at 60% due to Lightscarred (Lore: She was just fighting with Lothraxion, and that’ll figure into the fight). Every so often, Lothraxion will Lightscar Flare Nysarra, stunning her for 18 seconds, and if you stand in the wound’s flare, you’ll be buffed with 30% Healing and 300% Damage increased, but take ticking damage. DO NOT stand in the initial strike, however, as you will be hit and disoriented for 5 seconds.

Before the Flare hits her, she will hit the tank with Umbral Lash which is a 3-hit smash on the tank, with the last knocking them back. It also applies Void Lash which will increase the damage the tank takes by 50% for 10 seconds, which paired up with the adds spawning can prove deadly to the tank. During the build up to Flare, she will also Eclipsing Step a random player, with a large AoE indicator that will hurt anyone caught in it when she strikes.

She will also summon Grand Nullifiers (Interrupt Nullify) and a Dreadflail (Watch Voidlash's frontal) that need to be cleaved down quickly before the Lightscar Flare ends. If not killed before Flare ends, she will cast Devour the Unworthy which will heal her and damage the group as punishment.

Kasreth

The main mechanic to juggle for this boss is Leyline Array; it acts as an area of denial and if not managed will crush some or all of you when the boss hits full energy. To remove them, the boss will target a player with Reflux Charge, making them immune to the damage from arrays, allowing the player to stand within and remove them, but stun the player for 1 second after. You want to position at a cross-junction of arrays, and you'll know the array will be destroyed if the line turns blue.

Alongside this, Flux Collapse will continue to limit your space in the room. When the boss hits 100 Energy, he will channel Corespark Detonation, lobbing a large orb into the room and knocking all players back.

Healers will need to remove Sparkburn, a heal absorb, off all players in the group after Detonation. Rinse and repeat while interrupting any Arcing Zap you can.

Lothraxion

The final boss has the same Searing Rend from Lingering Images throughout the dungeon, and throughout the fight, he will choose three players to assign Brilliant Dispersion to, putting a DoT on those players, but also spawning Fractured Images.

Don't touch these Images as they'll leave a DoT called Mirrored Rend on you, and watch for when they cast Flicker, where two will fly across the room and hit/knock away anyone they contact with, potentially sending you into other Images.

At 100 energy, Lothraxion will pull players towards him using Divine Guile and after a few seconds, knock players back and hide himself among his Images. The group will take damage every 3 seconds until the real Lothraxion is interrupted, and if you incorrectly interrupt one, the group will gain a 1 minute debuff called Core Exposure which increases all Holy Damage taken by 50%, making the fight far more deadly. The real Lothraxion will not have any horns on his head.
