Quest for Ponape Secret Realm
How does this instance work?
This instance puts you up against a Dragon that has several mechanics. Not following these mechanics will actually get your teamates killed rather instantly so make sure you understand how these elements work here...
Elemental Mechanics
Every 90 seconds you receive a damage reduction buff for either Poison or Fire that lasts 90 seconds
Fire and Poison orbs will spawn periodically throughout the fight that shoot out smaller orb projectiles
If you touch any projectiles that match your current element the projectile is absorbed and nobody is hurt
If you touch a projectile that does not match your current element it will probably kill you instantly
Touching one of these large orbs that matches your current element gives a matching elemental damage buff
Try to move right on top of orbs that match your current element to block them for the team and buff your own elemental damage
Every so often an AoE screen wide skill will start casting at four locations
Two of the circles are Red while the other two are Green
You must stand in the circles that match your current buff to prevent this attack from going off
All four circles must have somebody standing in them in order to cancel this attack! Watch your teamates and move to the other circle if nobody is standing in it!
Mini Dragons will occasionally spawn and link to a player that does not match their element
If the dragon touches this player they will instantly die
If a player with the buff that matches the element of that dragon touches it the dragon instantly dies
Touch any dragons you see that match your element and run away from ones that don't match.
Other Mechanics
Red Crystals spawn throughout the fight which significantly reduce damage dealt to the boss. Destroy these as soon as it is safe to do so.
At 50% he becomes untargetable and summons two Detarderous adds. These must be killed in order to continue with the fight. Elemental mechanics are still active during this phase so watch out for orbs and the AoE circles!
Tips
Pay attention to your element, this is critical for the entire group to survive!
Genos makes this very easy since he can survive all instant kill mechanics as long as you don't do anything stupid. Very chill!
Elemental resistance cards and/or armor element cards such as Agrope and Jakk help classes that cannot survive most of these attacks
You only need 170% Ignore Def/MDef, so you can swap out some gear for more damage, racial advantages, etc.
