How to Use the Interactive Map

The Interactive Map both shows the location of key points on the map, and doubles as a collectible checker.

2. Click a pin on the map to see its name and description, and a relevant picture or video if available.
3. From here, click Mark as Acquired to indicate that you've gotten a collectible already. This will change its icon on the map to show that it has been collected, and add 1 to that pin type's Counter.
4. To undo this, click on the same pin and click Restore to unclaimed.
5. To check how many pins you have marked so far, check the Counter in the bottom left, and click the icon that looks like a checklist to see counters for all pin types.
6. If the collected pins start to get in the way, you can hide them all by clicking the green Show Pins button on the left side.

Varshan Tips and Strategies
Optimize Your Build and Gear Party Up With Other Players Craft Elixirs of Poison Resistance Avoid Staying in Front of Varshan Use Crowd Control Quickly Dispatch Summons

Optimize Build and Gear

Before taking on the new seasonal boss, it is recommended to optimize your build and gear for maximum DPS and survivability.

Varshan has devastating attacks, especially in higher World Tiers. Try to upgrade your equipment and invest in defenses before taking on Varshan.

Best Builds for PvE and PvP

Party Up with Other Players

Form a party with other players for more DPS. Not only will the encounter end much quicker, you will also have the benefit of the increased EXP.

It is recommended to fight Varshan as a party in higher difficulties as it is not uncommon to get one-shot. Other players can revive you if you are downed, and they can take some heat off you, allowing you to heal or wait for cooldowns.

Craft Elixirs of Poison Resistance

Varshan can inflict Poison, so it is recommended to craft some Elixirs of Poison Resistance so you do not find yourself chugging Healing Potions constantly. Elixirs can be crafted at the Alchemist in exchange for some materials.

Avoid Staying in Front of Varshan

Barring Varshan's Explosive Decay attack which hits in an AoE, all of Varshan's attacks hit directly in front. With this in mind, you can simply run to the side to save your evade for when you need it.

How to Evade

Use Crowd Control

Like all bosses, Varshan also has a Stagger Bar below its HP bar. Filling up the Stagger Bar by using crowd control Skills will open up a window for you to deal as much damage as possible.

How to Stagger Bosses

Dispatch Summons First

At the start and during the encounter, Varshan will summon three minions. They pose a minor threat but Varshan will absorb them to gain a barrier, so you will need to eliminate the summons to damage Varshan.

Echo of Varshan Attack Patterns

Tendril Swipe

Varshan uses its tendrils to strike horizontally three times. Each strike does not deal much damage, but they add up if you get hit three times. This attack can be easily avoided by keeping your distance or getting behind Varshan. These attacks launch projectiles in a cone, extending its reach. Varshan can cancel it and use another attack. Do not get greedy with your attacks.

Tendril Stab

Similar to the previous attack, Varshan stabs directly in front using its tendrils three times. It has a longer reach but is easily avoided by stepping to the side. This attack can track players, launch projectiles, and can also be canceled into another attack. As with the previous move, do not overcommit to your attacks.

Tendril Lunge

Using its tendrils to pull itself, Varshan lunges and strikes at you. Varshan is a pretty immobile boss and uses this as a gap closer. Simply sidestep to dodge the attack. This attack deals more damage. This has a slight wind-up so you can easily sidestep it.

Explosive Decay

Varshan marks the ground and violently decays it with an explosion. This is Varshan's deadliest attack, and the AoE increases as the fight progresses. This attack explodes much quicker and has a bigger AoE. Always be ready with your evade or mobility Skills.
