A mysterious object blocks the way, filling all who gaze upon it with divine awe and sinister dread in equal measure. It might be best to destroy it first and ask questions later.

Guide

  • Mystic Heat: The boss will face a random player and use a late telegraphed frontal conal AoE.
  • Shifting Shape: Spawns an untargetable Mystic Mirror add at one cardinal, with an orange arrow denoting where it is facing. A few seconds later, the add will open to reveal a bomb, which will use a massive, late telegraphed point-blank AoE (Big Burst). As a tutorial, the combat message The mythic idol summons an explosive device! will appear.
  • Shifting Shape (version 2): Now spawns a Mystic Mirror add that reveals a blue head. It will use a late telegraphed wide conal AoE (Death Ray) in front of it. As a tutorial, the combat message The mythic idol summons a demon! will appear.
  • Shifting Shape (version 3): Now spawns a Mystic Mirror add that reveals a eight crossed blades. It will use a four late telegraphed line AoEs (Steelstrike) centered on it. As a tutorial, the combat message The mythic idol summons blades! will appear.
  • Arcane Design: Spawns eight sets of red AoE telegraphs that spiral out from the boss and appear for a split second. The first four sets will spawn in a clockwise pattern, while the last four sets will be counterclockwise and be offset from the first. After all the telegraphs disappear, the AoEs will rapidly resolve.
  • Lots Cast: Party-wide magical damage, also marking four tanks with AoE tankbuster telegraphs, and up to six random other players with spread AoE markers. Immediately followed by Mystic Heat.
  • Shifting Shape (version 4): Will sequentially spawn eight adds in four sets of two. Each cardinal and intercardinal will eventually contain an add. Pairs of adds will use random animation telegraphs (bomb, demon, or sword) as before. The north+south adds will resolve first, followed by northwest+northeast, west+east, and finally southwest+southeast.
  • Arcane Light: Party-wide magical damage.
  • Arcane Design will be used again but now immediately followed by Shifting Shape involving only two opposite adds.
