Rex Chimaerus Mechanics

Rex Chimaerus Mechanics
The Four (4) Pillars

The Four (4) Pillars

There are four (4) pillars surrounding the arena that are chained to a platform in the middle of the arena. At a certain point during the fight, the boss will charge up a fire attack and Air Pitons appear around the arena. Players must use the Air Pitons to grapple up and reach the platform in the middle of the arena and interact with the lever.

Once the lever is activated, the chains from the four (4) pillars surrounding the arena become interactable. Players must now interact with all four chains to prevent Rex Chimaerus' powerful AoE attack.

Have Party Members Stationed at Each Pillar

At the start of the boss fight, it's best to have a party member stationed near each pillar, particularly those that are primarily using ranged weapons. This is to ensure a quick end to the special mechanic once the lever is activated.

Reach the Platform and Pull the Lever

Once the special mechanic starts,the first step is to have one (1) party member use the Air Pitons to grapple up and reach the platform in the middle of the arena and interact with the lever.

Two (2) party members can also do this task in case one fails to reach the platform.

Interact With All Four Chains

Once all four chains from the pillars become interactable, the party members stationed near the pillars should interact with one of the four chains. Doing so in a timely manner prevents Rex Chimaerus from performing a devastating AoE attack.

Rex Chimaerus Attack Patterns

Rex Chimaerus follows and repeats this pattern the whole fight:

Normal Attacks

This attack has Rex Chimaerus perform swiping attacks with its claws. This doesn't do much damage and any tank could easily soak the damage.

Acid Puddles

This attack has Rex Chimaerus shoot acid projectiles from its tail at three of the farthest targets, creating a puddle of acid on their position. Players only need to relocate and avoid staying on the acid puddle to avoid the attack.

Paralyzing Venom

This attack has Rex Chimaerus spit venom at a target. After a short duration, the affected target will be paralyzed for a good amount of time. There is no avoiding this attack directly, however, the marked target should move far away from Rex Chimaerus and from the rest of the party.

Fireballs

This attack has Rex Chimaerus fire three (3) fireballs at the target affected by the Paralyzing Venom attack, dealing massive damage each. This attack always comes after the Paralyzing Venom. In addition, while shooting fireballs Rex Chaimaerus also sprays poison using its tail on its right side.

Since the fireballs explode upon impact, the best strategy against this attack is to have the tank take the hit from the fireballs with aid from healers instead of the paralyzed target. Moreover, players should stay clear from the boss' right side to avoid getting hit by the spray.

AoE Attack (Special Mechanic)

This attack has Rex Chimaerus perform a devastating AoE attack that can potentially wipe out the entire party. However, this attack only happens if the party fails to activate the lever, which is the boss' special mechanic.

How to Ancient Berserk Shade Wizard

Although the Ancient Berserk Shade Wizard doesn't have any special mechanics, it does summon a pack of hounds that makes the fight a lot more difficult.

The best strategy to defeat the mini-boss is to have the tank get all the aggro from both the mini-boss and the hounds while the rest of the party focuses all their damage on the mini-boss. Moreover, healers should make sure that the tank get consistent healing as it soaks all the damage.

Description
Ahzriel, and Elder of the Sylavean Order, put a stop to the experiments and abandoned the monsters under the temple, sealing them away for good. Trapped with no others to prey upon, the monsters turned on each other, but King Chimaerus made short work of them all. According to one Shadowmancer's records, if King Chimaerus absorbs greater mana, it could transform into an even deadlier beast called Rex Chimaerus.
