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.
Older footage is retained for its encounter explanations; it is not presented as a fresh ten-player clear.
Entry, difficulty & preparation
Use the flowers and windstreams to cross platforms, and activate the checkpoints. Agree orb collectors, colour calls and a dash corner before the final pull.
| Check | What to use |
|---|---|
| Mode covered | 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. |

Source version: read before assigning players
The linked encounter footage uses the older four-player party or eight-player raid format. Current Korean parties and Sanctuary raids have expanded. The mechanics below describe that footage; fixed target counts, assignments and HP triggers must be matched to the encounter you enter. Do not copy an eight-slot raid diagram onto a ten-player raid without checking the live markers. Current NC entry and resurrection rules take precedence over old video advice.

Wise Baumnute
Do not copy a geared group’s choice to ignore chain lightning. For learning attempts, keep a clean separation.
| Tell / phase | Your response | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Jump away and Undying Veil around 75% / 25% | Immediately reach the boss’s back and use stagger attacks. | Front attacks do not contribute to this stagger check. |
| Large lightning circle on an outer crystal | Stay outside its area and avoid connecting a chain through nearby players. | Lightning can ricochet beyond the initial circle. |
| Lightning target on tank later in the fight | Separate the marked tank from the party rather than testing how much damage can be healed. | Ricochets add stun and a lasting damage-tolerance penalty. |

Expanding Xyrepe
After resurrection, collect a new spore. Do not assume the pre-death colour buff survived.
| Tell / phase | Your response | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Before pull | Collect a red or yellow spore from an outer fungus. | Your colour determines safe projectile contact. |
| Coloured puddles | Keep drops away from the boss. Same-colour ground is safe; clearing opposite-colour ground adds damage over time. | Uncoordinated clearing can overwhelm the healer. |
| Coloured spiral around 75% / 35% | Pass through your colour and dodge the other. Move farther out if you need more reaction time. | Wrong-colour hits add damage and a debuff. |
| Repeated cones / knockbacks | Leave the cone and avoid placing your back toward the platform edge. | You can be pushed off. |

Awakened Alturadon
The reviewed video places the pillar sequence around 35%, while another older written guide labels it 25%. React to the arena and marked-dash tell instead of treating either percentage as a current guarantee.
| Tell / phase | Your response | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Small energy orbs | Share collection duties and heal the resulting damage over time. | The boss absorbs abandoned orbs and gains dangerous stacks. |
| Restricted arena / clone lanes around 65% | Move between alternating dash lanes inside the available central space. | The second formation targets the first formation’s gaps. |
| Lightning ropes and large mines around 50% | Jump the ropes and deliberately manage mines one at a time if space is becoming crowded. | All remaining mines explode at the end of the phase. |
| Crystal pillars and marked dashes in the late phase | Bait dashes along a clear corner, then move after the target locks. Recheck the pillar layout midway. | Dashing through pillars adds boss stacks and heavy group damage. |
| After the dashes | Collect leftover small orbs before the boss absorbs them. | Completing the movement does not finish the stack-management job. |

Tank, healer & DPS assignments
Strategy recommendationSuggested preparation for this encounter. These assignments are editorial recommendations based on the mechanics above.
| Role | Assignment |
|---|---|
| Tank | Keep Xyrepe away from dangerous edges and align final-boss dashes carefully. |
| Healer / support | Coordinate orb and opposite-spore pickup so damage-over-time stacks remain healable. |
| DPS | Save stagger for the first boss’s rear check; prioritize orb collection over uptime. |

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.
