Phase changes

  1. Below 65% health · one trigger

    • Changes form Form change

      The boss changes form at set health thresholds; the data records 65% on Kirtonos and below 30% for the rhythm phase, but not what each form changes.

      How to handle: Treat the threshold as a reset: stop your rotation, re-read the boss's new telegraphs, and reposition before committing damage again.

  2. Below 30% health

    • Alternates forms on a fixed rhythm Form rhythm

      The boss alternates forms on a fixed rhythm, with no interval or warning in the data. The title states the pattern but not the timing.

      How to handle: Learn the order of the forms and pre-position before each swap. Do not wait for a cast bar; the data records no telegraph.
