Beasts

General:

Essence of Aspect of the Long-Toothed drop from the Lair bosses summoned in Kingsmouth, Savage Coast and Blue Mountain.

This Regional Boss can be summoned at the Regional Spawn Summoning Circle in Blue Mountain Lair.

On summon of this boss, the boss will attack the oldest character created in the summoning team first.

If you are targeted by "Hounded" do not run away. Running away causes a filth path to be placed where you drag the boss.

If you get killed because of hounded, DO NOT RELEASE immediately! Wait until the boss stops feasting on your corpse. If you release too soon he will attempt to follow you.

If you do die, come back to the summoning area in Anima form. When you get there - wait a few seconds before you Click YES to resurrect. Filth will only appear after a few seconds in Anima Mode.

What the Tank needs to know:

• The boss hits hard, make sure to have around 20k hp. Defensive cooldowns and taunts are also a good idea.
• On summon, the boss will not be immediately attackable - you can get aggro by using a shield skill, since shields generate aggro. Thick Skin with passive, Twist Fate with passive can get the job done.
• Unless your raid group has high dps, try to get the boss as near to the wall as possible so you can place the boss' filth cone near to the walls. Filth is permanent until the boss is dead, so this will give you more space to move.
• If you have trouble tanking the boss, when the boss is casting the filth cone you can run to other side of the arena. This means that while the boss is coming to you, you are not getting hit and therefore you will gain some time to recharge your skills. Same goes for when it is casting Anathema. You can also try to interrupt Anathema late.

What the Healer needs to know:

• If your tank gets the "Anathema" debuff from the boss, make sure to cleanse it as it heals the boss every time the boss hits the target.
• If you are getting "Hounded", you can use the columns near the entrance of the arena, simply get the column between you and boss. Mind that this will place filth everywhere, so make sure to use this tactic if your heals are vital for the run.

What the DPS need to know:

• Make sure not to stand in the filth!
• If you have an interrupt gadget slotted, feel free to interrupt "Anathema".
• If you get "Hounded" see the "general" section of this guide
• If a member of your raid team is hounded, you can delay the inevitable by throwing the boss into the air with "Erruption", or by moving it with your "Bashosen" gadget as examples.
• Make sure to not to stack with other people, so it will be easier to see who is getting Hounded.
