Learn the encounter before your next pull. This guide is an original English synthesis of reviewed YouTube captions and official Korean mode rules. Follow the specific difficulty and source version shown below.
Mechanic instructions follow the cited gameplay explanation. HP percentages identify approximate phase triggers, not a guaranteed attack timeline.
Entry, difficulty & preparation
Kill the wind mage to open the windstream route, use the jump pads and activate checkpoints as the group advances.
| Check | What to use |
|---|---|
| Mode covered | Normal & Hard |
| Group | Up to 5 — current Korean party format |
| Entry requirements | Select this dungeon and difficulty in the entry panel. Check character level, item level, minimum party size and remaining entries there. The reviewed mechanic videos do not establish a current numeric admission threshold. |
| Before pulling | Agree assignments, activate available checkpoints, clear pursuing enemies and prepare movement, defensive and stagger skills. |

Guardian Captain Raur
Call “stop” as the shield stance begins. A clean counter phase requires restraint from the entire party.
| Tell / phase | Your response | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Shield planted / counter stance after about 70% | Stop attacking for the counter window, including repeated queued attacks. | Hits reflect damage and build the following explosion. |
| Dash away from the tank | Tank closes back to melee after the dash; others leave its line. | Excess distance triggers a leash and delayed ground bomb. |
| Jump or close explosion | Move out of the landing area, then return once resolved. | Repeated avoidable hits increase healer pressure. |

Judge Urahum
Preserve the centre. A messy floor is usually the result of missed attacks and uncontrolled poison drops, not a reason to run randomly.
| Tell / phase | Your response | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Poison debuff after being hit | Take the delayed pool toward the outer edge before it expires. | The pool remains for a long time and removes usable floor. |
| Speed buff around 65% | Expect faster sequences: expanding close blasts and a clawing dash. | The second half allows less time to react. |
| Radial projectile lines | Use the gaps and avoid turning a single hit into overlapping poison drops. | Poor pool placement makes later dodges harder. |

Divine Auldor
Watch the target marker as well as the tornado lanes. In Hard, the airborne grab follow-up is also a shared-damage marker.
| Tell / phase | Your response | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Wide tornado lines | Step between the projectiles. If a player is lifted, anticipate the grab-and-slam follow-up. | The airborne hit triggers another mechanic. |
| Centre phase around 75% / 35% | Dodge crossing tornadoes while moving to the stack target. The source requires at least one partner with the target. | Leaving the targeted player alone is lethal. |
| Outer storm from about 35% | Keep the group inside the remaining arena and share damage there. | The outer storm persists through the end of the fight. |
| Tank-directed rectangle / dash trail | Keep the frontal lane away from the stack route and leave the residual trail. | A path across the stack can cut off rescuers. |

Difficulty changes & encounter details
Hard adds a further radial tornado pattern and changes the grab slam into a stack. Do not reuse Normal positioning for that follow-up.

Tank, healer & DPS assignments
Strategy recommendationSuggested preparation for this encounter. These assignments are editorial recommendations based on the mechanics above.
| Role | Assignment |
|---|---|
| Tank | Stay close to Raur between attacks; aim Auldor away from the group. |
| Healer / support | Top off the stack target and arrive before the hit rather than healing from outside. |
| DPS | Stop during counter stance and prioritize joining the stack over damage. |

After a wipe: fix the cause
Strategy recommendationName the failed mechanic before the next pull. Check whether the target moved too early, the group missed its assignment, or a required cooldown was unavailable. Reassign a backup for any job that can target its original owner. Surviving the mechanic comes before completing a damage rotation.
- Call the next mechanic before the HP threshold; the actual cast may occur later.
- If a hit-count object is involved, use fast direct hits rather than assuming a long damage cooldown is better.
- Save burst for a real vulnerability window after the group has completed its movement.
- Check the current entry panel for loot probabilities and reward availability before spending another run.
