CHALLENGE 1

Platform hold room

• In the middle of the room there will be a tower. 1 player has to stand on the tower for 1 minute to complete the challenge.
  • To reach the tower , use movement spells or use a launch pad that may spawn at the corners of the room to launch yourself to the tower.

• At 55 , 44 , 33 , 22 and 11 seconds , 2 of the 6 crystals will be infected and spawn a parasite below it. Kill both of the parasites within 10 seconds or the tower will decay for 10 seconds , knocking the player holding it off and disabling it.
  • ☠️ In guild raids parasites spawn at 56 , 49 , 42 , 35 , 28 , 21 , 14 and 7 seconds instead and you only have 8 seconds to kill the parasites.

CHALLENGE 2

Cloud purity room

• In this challenge , all players gain +10 jump height and lightweight MAJOR ID temporarily. The objective is to beat 3 waves of decay.
• 3 clouds will be highlighted with a beam of darkness. After 8 seconds Crystalline Decays will spawn on the highlighted clouds. Kill all 3 within 30 seconds to advance a wave. Clear 3 waves to complete the challenge.
  • ☠️ In guild raids you only have 25 seconds to kill all 3 decays.
• Falling into the void will respawn you after 5 seconds , so dont worry too much if you fall.
• https://youtu.be/mJq8ILuV2Os

Resource room

• Similar to the NOTG resource challenge , there will be 3 chambers:
  • parkour room on the left gives 1 resource on clear
  • miniboss room straight ahead gives 2 resources on clear
  • shoot room on the right gives 2 resources on clear
• Collect resources and bring them back to the starting chamber. Deposit 10 resources to clear the challenge.
  • Tech: to quickly clear this room , it is optimal for ALL 4 players to do miniboss. If 3 players have insanely high dps , it is faster for 3 players to do miniboss and the last player to do parkour or shoot.

• shoot POV https://youtu.be/VahT6qgrJBE

CHALLENGE 3

Tower room

• 1 Player must hold the darkness. They will NOT be able to see the beam of light. The player holding the darkness objective is to stand at the beam of light to progress each floor.
• Once a player picks up the darkness , a beam of light that keeps on moving will be revealed to the other 3 players and enemies will begin spawning. Some players should stand at the beam of light so darkness holder knows where to go. As the darkness holder you should stay close to players with yellow nametags as they are players on the beam of light.
  • ☠️ In guild raids the beam of light moves at DOUBLE SPEED.
• Once the darkness holder stands at the beam of light and progress the bar above completely , all players will advance to the next floor. There will be 3 floors total. Complete all 3 floors and stand on the exit to complete the challenge.
• https://youtu.be/i3jRsT-Drjo

Maze room

• 1 player will have to take the light crystal , giving them the ability to see invisible platforms. The goal of the light holder is to find a yellow platform and guide the other players to it.
• Once all 4 players are standing on the yellow platform , the maze will be revealed and 2 grey platforms will spawn , the light holder stays on the yellow platform while the other players stand on the grey platforms. Once both grey platforms are stand on , it will break and 2 more grey platforms will spawn. Stand on those to continue the challenge.
  • When all 4 players stand on a yellow platform and grey platforms start spawning , a wraithful storm will spawn above the grey and yellow platforms. These enemies can snipe players from long distances and on direct hits inflict a crippling slowness debuff for 1 second. It is recommend to kill them as they are REALLY ANNOYING.
• There will be a total of 3 yellow platforms to complete. The last yellow platform will always spawn at the same location at the end of the room.
  • tech: if you are the light holder , you can move across a row to quickly try to find the yellow platform. Below here is a wynntils lootrun file to show where to search and a POV on how to search the yellow platforms fast. (credits for lootrun file: warze)

Orphion , light incarnate

❤️ 6.5m (lvl 80) 18m (lvl 105) 2 phases
🗡️thunder , air
💔 water
🛡️thunder , air | knockback , slowness and blindness immune

phase 1:

Note that attack names aren't official

• Bow for thy sins: does a melee attack that spawns beams of light.
• Ram: rams towards a player , leaving behind beams of light that spawns 2 projectiles on its side after a while.
• Holy cross: spawns 4 beams of light around its body that homes in towards players.
  • This attack is usually done twice in a row.
• Sun bomb: spawns 2 sun bombs above 2 random players. The bombs lingers for a while while spawning projectiles below it before exploding.
• Wild charge: howls , then charges towards the player furthest from the boss rapidly across the arena while leaving behind beams of light that spawns 2 projectiles on its side after a while. It charges 5 times in phase 1.
• Infectious summoning: spawns 2 different kinds of minions.
  • Pearl overwatch: spins around spewing projectiles.
  • Infection ad infinitum: splits up to 4 times when "killing" it. Getting hit by them drains your mana.

The attacks below will only be used when at 70% hp or less:

• Bellowing eclipse: inhales and walks Abit backwards , then does an air shout in an INSANELY LARGE cone shaped area Infront of the boss.
• Frozen orbit: at 77% and 44% hp , spawns 4 enemies called "crystallines" that orbit around the arena that heal the boss. If team dps is high , just ignore them and focus on the boss. If team dps is low , KILL THE CRYSTALLINES ASAP.
  • Killing 1 slows the killers movement speed and after 6 seconds , freezes the player. To remove the slow and freezing effect , kill all 4 crystallines preferably at the same time. If a player is frozen you may also attack the frozen player to free them.
  • If somehow all alive players are frozen , all players will be unfrozen but will suffer 95% hp TRUE DMG.
• Hyperarmor: when reaching 50% hp and it is trying to complete an attack , gain 95% DR until the attack ends.

phase 2:

• Solar shower: when reaching 50% hp , becomes invincible , walks to the center of the arena and conjures a huge sun. It will spew many solar particles. Stay in a corner together as a team and try to dodge the projectiles.
• Decaying sun: the sun will turn into a black hole and crash land , sucking players and spawning decay projectiles from the arena walls that go towards the black hole. Try to Sprint towards the wall while not getting hit as it will knock you towards the black hole. Use your movement spells to run away from the black hole when you are too close. Being inside the black hole will cause you to take HUGE dmg , usually resulting in a quick death. After a while the black hole shrinks and spawns a sphere of projectiles , and orphion becomes vulnerable again.
• Wild charge: now charges 6 times
• Sun bomb: now spawns 3 sun bombs above 3 random players.
• Lightning Crash: spews "parasitic mites" out of the boss before creating a large ring of lightning around the boss and smaller rings of lightning around the mites. After a while, a charging sound will be made as some Parasitic Mites are being destroyed , creating a beam of light where they are killed. Players in rings of lightning will have a warning flash on their screen, with a lightning bolt on both sides when in smaller rings and three on each for orphion's ring. After a while the boss stomps and all of the Parasitic Mites are killed and a beam of light spawns at its death locations and any players in the rings are taken massive damage. Affected players get -75 mana regen and -6 atk speed for a short while if they were in Orphion's ring, while players in the parasitic mite rings are frozen for 1 second instead while taking high damage.

The attacks below will only be used when at 0 hp:

• Final charge: once reaching 0 hp , orphion screams a harmless shockwave and despawns all projectiles and enemies and combines Holy cross , Sun bomb and Wild charge attacks all at once that last for about 20 seconds. After 20 seconds it charges to the middle and stomps 3 times to end the attack.

After a while, Festerance causes the debuffed player to take damage and release a ring of projectiles that do not festerance. The debuff will be cleared after the attack is unleashed.

• Power struggle: takes a stance and charges for 2 seconds and targeting a random player , showing a bubble beam telegraph to the targeted player. After 2 seconds , it will pounce rapidly towards the targeted player in an attempt to overtake them. If it hits a player during the pounce , they will be overtaken.
  • While overtaking a player , the parasite will receive 75% DR , the overtaken player cant use spells and has their movements disrupted(but able to use heal pots even after using 3 consumables with cursed alchemist gambit)
  • An overtaken bar with about 500k will appear. Dealing damage to the parasite to slowly reduce the bar. When the bar reaches 0 , the parasite will release the overtaken player and loses its DR.
  • When overtaken , you may randomly get shown a set of 3 mouse inputs. Input the correct mouse inputs within 1.5 seconds to resist , reducing the overtaken bar by 10%. Failing to input correctly/on time will cause the parasite to use a movement spell or launch you in a random direction.
  • If you are the only player alive , resist will require 5 inputs instead of 3 , but you will exit overtaken and be released instantly. Failing resist will cause you to take huge damage.
