When you see his arm transform to Snake, get out of the hitbox.
Do NOT greed GCDs here. Make sure to time your gazes correctly even if you have to drop a GCD or two; you can do parse runs with groups later if you're worried about your numbers.

Knockback Immunity as soon as you see Dog form. Look for Crush or Impact cast. Also note the direction he is facing.
Crush: Get away from the side he's pointing towards
Impact: Run towards the side he's pointing towards
After the Crush/Impact, use gap-closers or run to the boss and watch for either a Conceptual Diflare or Tetraflare castbar.
Diflare = Two light parties
Tetraflare = 4 partner stacks. Melee priority (T1&M1, T2&M2 in the first two groups then H1&R1, H2&R2 in the further 2 groups).
Order of Operations of projecting his attacks:
He'll show his dash through North-South
He'll show either Impact or Crush
He'll show his dash through East-West
He'll show the opposite of Step2 (If 2 = Crush then 4 = Impact)
Step 2: Impact @ B
Step 2: Impact @ B
Line up on Black Line @ B
Step 4: Crush @ C
Step 4: Crush @ C
Safe = A
Safe = A
After Impact @ B, get to the Black Line @ A
Order of Operations on execution:
Stack in Diflare or Tetraflare at the boss
When shown Crush or Impact, move to the black line on the safe side.
The boss will dash and knock everyone to the edge of the arena.
The explosion will occur.
Immediately run along the wall to the center of the edge you were knocked back to. This will prepare you if it's an Impact but still safe if it's Crush.
Upon Crush/Impact run to the next safe black line.
Boss will Dash East-West and knock you to the edge.
Run along the wall to the center of the edge you were knocked back to. Again, to prepare you in case it's Impact but still safe for Crush.
Run to the safe side of the Torches
