Gate 3 Introduction
Just like in Brelshaza Gate 2 the ability to resolve and recognize the correct mechanics quickly will be crucial. Positional requirements and fulfilling party assignments play a big role during Brelshaza Gate 3.
- HP Potion of your choice
- Swiftness Robe or Marching Flag (If low movement speed)
- Whirlwind Grenade for classes with low stagger damage
- Flame Grenade for imprison mechanics
- Dark Grenade on supports if encountering damage problems
- Time Stop Potion
Raid Assignments
Before starting Gate 4, your party needs to set up specific position and role assignments for things to go smoothly during Main Mechanics.
- The Raid Leader can rename Party1 & Party2 to specific colors present on the map that will help players identify their positions during the raid.
- Party1 (GGWW) → Green (For yellow mechanic) | Green+White (For blue mechanic)
- Party2 (BBPP) → Blue (For yellow mechanic) | Blue+Purple (For blue mechanic)
- Players need to decide on who will be responsible for the Orb Destroyer, Orb Catcher & Stagger roles. This will be important when facing the Yellow Cube Mechanic. The Orb Catcher should be the support player, while the dps with the least stagger takes the role of the Orb Destroyer.
- 1 player: Orb Destroyer
- 1 player: Orb Catcher
- 2 players: Stagger
Main Mechanics Overview
The color of the cube when the fight begins will determine the starting main mechanic, e.g. if the fight starts with Red, then at x170 HP you will have to do the Red mechanic. Furthermore, color transitions can never land on the same color they were before. In our example, we would receive either Blue or Yellow at x165 HP.
Main Mechanics
- x170 HP - Red/Blue/Yellow Mechanic
- x120 HP - Red/Blue/Yellow Mechanic
- x95 HP - Stagger 1
- x60 HP - Red/Blue/Yellow Mechanic
- x20 HP - Stagger 2
Cube Color Transitions
- x165 HP
- x135 HP
- x95 HP (Transition after stagger 1)
- x65 HP
- x40 HP
- x20 HP (Transitions after stagger 2)

Raid Mechanics
Raid mechanics cover the passive mechanics that are persistent through the entire raid.
Sidereal - Wei
Sidereal - Innana
Sidereal - Nineveh
Damage Stacks
Encroachment Stacks
Wei: CTRL+X
Description
- Wei is the Sidereal used for Stagger Damage.
When To Use
- During x95 HP & x20 HP Stagger phases.
Innana: CTRL+C
Description
- Using Innana will prevent you from knock backs & reduce damage received.
- She will cleanse the Damage Stacks of the boss.
- After the dome disappears, all players get a minor heal.
When To Use
- During x95 HP & x20 HP Stagger phases, so you can ignore most mechanics and freely stagger the boss.
- When the boss has almost reached 10x Damage stacks, you should use Innana to cleanse them.
Nineveh: CTRL+Z
Description
- Nineveh is the Sidereal used for Damage.
When To Use
- If your party does not require additional stagger damage from Wei and cleansing Damage Stacks is not necessary, then Nineveh is a good option for damage.
- Use her after x95 HP & x20 HP stagger phases.
- Do not use her in the Cube color transitions, as the boss gains damage reduction.
Description
- Getting hit by certain notable attacks increase the stacks of the boss. (Brands, Wall, Fire)
- These stacks provide the boss with a damage buff. When it reaches 10 stacks, it wipes the raid.
- Stacks can only be removed by using Innana on top of the boss.
Description
- Leaving the main arena and entering the swamp area gives the player Encroachment stacks.
- When these reach 8 you will die.
- Stacks can only be removed by using Innana.
Main Mechanics
Main mechanics occur at certain HP intervals.
Red

Yellow
Stagger 1&2
Telegraph
- Can occur at x170,x120 or x60 HP.
- Red lasers will shoot out of the cube, covering the entire playfield in red.
Description
- A yellow dome will be generated in the direction the boss is facing.
- One player needs to enter this dome, getting frozen in the process.
- 7 other players need to stagger the boss. When successful, this will spawn 1 yellow orb on the arena.
- Players with the lowest stagger should try to grab this orb and run inside the initial dome.
- The stagger process will repeat two more times, spawning 2 yellow orbs each time now.
- Once 6 players have entered the yellow dome with their orb, the mechanic will resolve.
- The remaining 2 players outside the dome must be careful not to stand in front of the boss to dodge the laser.
Telegraph
- Can occur at x170,x120 or x60 HP.
- Red lasers will shoot out of the cube, spawning 4 smaller cubes on the map.
Positioning
Players have to quickly understand in which direction their assigned color spot is located and head over there.
Party1
- Player1 → Green
- Player2 → Green
- Player3 → White
- Player4 → White
Party2
- Player1 → Blue
- Player2 → Blue
- Player3 → Purple
- Player4 → Purple
Description
- Four squares with stagger checks are generated at the color positions on the minimap: White/Green/Purple/Blue
- Move to the position assigned in your party order.
- Break the squares with your best stagger damage skills as quickly as possible.
- A defensive shield will be applied to everyone who successfully breaks the square.
- Then 1 of the 2 players will get imprisoned while the other will have to do a typing test to break free.
- Free your teammate from the imprisonment and dodge the attack the boss is trying to perform.
- Head & Back attack positions are not safe until the lasers have been fired!
Note: Once players have obtained the defensive shield, they can choose to quickly group up in the same location, so that breaking people out of imprisonment is quicker. Flame Grenade can be used before the typing mechanic starts to instantly break people out!
Telegraph
- Can occur at x170,x120 or x60 HP.
- Red lasers will shoot out of the cube, with 2 balls spawning on opposite sides of one another.
Positioniong
Players have to quickly understand in which direction their assigned color spot is located and head over there. The Orb Catcher should be the support or dps with weak stagger, while the dps with the least stagger takes the role of the Orb Destroyer.
Party1 → Green
- Player1 → Orb Destroyer
- Player2 → Orb Catcher
- Player3 → Stagger
- Player4 → Stagger
Party2 → Blue
- Player1 → Orb Destroyer
- Player2 → Orb Catcher
- Player3 → Stagger
- Player4 → Stagger
- On both Blue & Green side, a huge orb will spawn on the outer edge of the arena.
- Orb Destroyers have to be positioned there ahead of time and break it when it spawns.
- Once destroyed, they will get a protective shield that they need to use to block purple bullets shooting out of the pillars to the side.
- The destroyed orb will shoot a yellow ball towards the center of the arena. This ball has to be intercepted by the Orb Catcher near the boss. Doing so creates a large AoE on the ground, providing increased stagger for whoever stands inside of it.
- This will provide the Orb Catcher with a protective shield around them. They need to utilize this to block the purple bullets shooting out of the pillars on the opposite side of the Orb Destroyer.
- The two remaining players responsible for stagger have to enter the yellow area created by the Orb Catcher and stagger the boss.
- When the boss is staggered, the mechanic gets resolved!
