Fungal grotto

thehoov

My husband and I tried to do the fungal grotto today.... EPIC FAIL..... Holy jeepers!!!!
We got to the one boss where she sends her minions after you and they chain you down.

After trying like 12 times, members of the group started to drop off and we left.
This is impossible!!! How is it done

Also....we are VR 6. Should we stick to non veteran pledges for now???

When she chains someone down focus on killing one of the guys holding them down

Well this boss have 2 different mechanics that you need to pay attention to:

• boss spawns 4 shadows, 4 shadows trap 1 group member with a sword falling in it's direction.
• group must kill 1 shadow to free the trapped member, otherwise the sword will pierce and kill the trapped member..
• if the group damage multiple shadows, boss will spaw 4 adds shadows that deal damage, and you have to take them down with AoE skills.

• boss casts blue-ish attack at 1 group member, if that group member doesn't rolldodge the attack in time, boss will later cast the attack on another member.
• when the second group member have been hit by the attack, if that group member doesn't rolldodge it either he will be linked with a blue-ish thread to the first group member.
• the two group members that are now linked with a blue thread take heavy damage, and must run away from eachother as fast and far as possible to break the link ...if they don't, they die.

And the boss sometimes glitches and disappears in the middle of the fight. Just wait for her if this happens, she respawns. It can take seconds or 3-4 minutes >.<

My best advice: get into friendly pve guilds, get friends and socialize for a while, so you can get to do veteran dungeons and pledges with people you communicate with. Pugs are often problematic.....

If it's your first time in a vet dungeon, say so up front. Most players are happy to explain the mechanics and help you learn, but only if we know we need to. If nobody says anything, we assume that everybody in the group has done it dozens of times like most of us have.

For that boss, there are two important mechanics. She will tether two players together with a purple sapping beam. Those two need to run away from each other asap. And when she chains somebody down, everybody needs to focus dps on the same corner. Don't attack different chain holders, just kill one and the person will be freed.

Aside from that, just kill the "normal" adds and block or dodge her throw attacks.
