Behavior

It will briefly appear below the Crystal Entity before beginning to teleport around the arena towards the closest player with a limit of roughly 5 tiles, alernating between being visible and invisible, choosing one of two attacks to use every time it materialises:

  • Firing 4-way beams of orange shards that return to it, the first beam fired along the cardinal directions and the second along the intermediate.
  • A “Crystal Snipe” attack that has it fire a ring of slow orange shards. After flying for a bit, the shards freeze in place, turn towards the nearest player, and launch themselves at extremely high speed. Note that each individual shard aims independently of the others, allowing the snipe to target multiple players at once.

Tips and Strategies

Unlike the other Crystal Guardians, this one is susceptible to Paralyzed Icon Paralyzed. Archers and as other paralyzing abilities can prevent its movement, making for an easier fight. When teleporting, its location is only visible through the minimap. Once it appears, don’t stand too close and stay off the cardinal and intermediate directions.

Be wary of its Crystal Snipe attack, as taking an entire burst can instantly kill many players. In larger groups, the snipe will likely target multiple players and lessen the likelihood of an instakill, but smaller groups must beware.

The 4-way beam attack is infamous for killing newer players to the dungeon, as its first set of shots deals a large 1,920 damage if the player is standing on the Fish. It is recommended to know when and how to move before attempting the boss fight.
