Hylbrande and Trash Mobs in the Area

Cry of Mrrggllrrgg mass
Enrage

Exploding Pufferfish.

coming from Murkbrine Scalebinder. - Use defensives during Coastwalker Goliath and avoid being hit by their
Boulder Throw cast. - Get away from melee when Stormforged Guardian is casting
Charged Pulse.
Hylbrande Boss Guide
All Roles
- Avoid being hit by the
Titanic Crash frontal. - If you get targeted by
Purged by Fire, kite it away from
the boss to avoid being damaged and having better
Purging Field
ichor management. - Make sure you defeat Vault Purifiers as quickly as you can while
interrupting their
Valorous Bolt cast and stopping their
Empowered Defense
channel (makes the boss take 25% reduced damage). - During the
Sanitizing Cycle cast, have one person interact with the console
while the rest of the party assembles the right sequence of colors.
Tank
- Use your active mitigation during
Shearing Swings. - Do your best to stack the Vault Purifiers on top of the boss to enable better stacked cleave.
Healer
- Make sure targets that are about to be hit by
Purifying Burst are topped-up.

Enrage dispel, use it to as many
Super Saison
debuffs coming from Burly Deckhand as you can. - Interrupt Hourglass Tidesage's
Brackish Bolt and
side-step their
Tidal Burst ground visual.
Timecap'n Hooktail Boss Guide
All Roles
- Never stay near the water else you will end up dying from
Deadly Seas sharks. - Be stacked at all times to make clearing all the adds easier with
Infinite Breath,
since they fixate random members and will be walking in the same direction.
Tank
- When Corsair Brute & Corsair Cannoneers spawn, aim the
Infinite Breath cast on top of them to kill them.

Time Bomb debuff as upon dispelling, the
whole party takes damage from
Temporal Detonation.

Notable Trash Before So'leah
- IMPORTANT: Focus on dodging the Adorned Starseer's
Drifting Star and focus the

will wipe your whole squad. Any spare kicks should be used for
Hyperlight Bolt.
So'leah Boss Guide
All Roles

and interrupt their

Power Overwhelming state, use the
Hyperlight Jolt to break the stars and resume the remaining of the phase. He will
do that multiple times during the entirety of Phase 2
