Hanumatan Introduction

Hanumatan is the last Raid Level 6 Guardian. You need to be at least Item Level 1540 to enter this Guardian Raid. This Guardian drops Tier 3 Ancient Accessories, Ability Stones, Bracelets and Upgrade Materials as well as rare drops including Engraving Books.

The recommended Combat Items are Whirlwind GrenadeDestruction Bomb or Pheromone Bomb, Flare and your choice of health potion.

This guide focuses on the important raid mechanics and patterns. The normal patterns are not covered, since those are easily predictable and mostly avoidable by standing at the left, right side or behind the Guardian.

This Guardian guide assumes you know the basics of a Guardian Raid. Check out the General Raid Guide to learn more.

Raid Mechanics

Raid mechanics cover the passive mechanics that are persistent through the entire raid.

Armor Destruction
Stacking Buff/Debuff

This Guardian Raid has 4 phases and 3 layers of armor. During each of the first 3 phases, you get a chance to destroy one layer of the armor. Failing the first destruction check during a phase unlocks a 2nd opportunity to destroy Hanumatan's armor shortly before he transitions into the next phase. But it is recommended to destroy the armor on the first check, since the 2nd check before the transition to next phase is usually more difficult.

Be aware, if your party deals high Damage, the first destruction check might get skipped. In this case, you have to succeed the destruction check before the transition.

If your party deals average or low Damage and didn't manage to counter during the first destruction check, the Guardian might repeat it again before he uses the transition pattern.

The destruction check itself is easy and provides an up to 3 times stacking permanent buff to the party every time you succeed (Per stack: 5% Movement Speed, 3.5% Cooldown Reduction and 3.5% Attack Speed). But failing it increases the difficulty of the last phase and allows Hanumatan to use a devastating attack upon transitioning into the last phase.

  2. The boss jumps on the spot, knocking nearby players up on hit.
  3. Summons a meteor shower further away but around the boss.
  4. Glows blue.

What To Do

  1. Move away from the boss to dodge the jump attack.
  2. Dodge in front of the boss to Counter Attack and succeed the Counter check.
  3. Use skills with Weak Point affix to destroy the armor.

  1. Hanumatan's eyes flash red for a brief moment.
  2. The boss raises his hands to prepare a Spirit Bomb attack.
  3. If not interrupted, he additionally summons a Meteor Shower around him.
  4. Glows blue.

What To Do

  1. Don't attack the boss while he is preparing the Spirit Bomb attack.
    (If attacked, the boss immediately casts the Spirit Bomb attack and deals massive damage to nearby players.)
  2. Use a Counter Attack skill as soon as he glows blue.
  3. Use skills with Weak Point affix and Destruction Bomb to destroy a layer of the armor.

Phase 3

Destruction Check
Transition
Transition + Destruction

Destruction Check

Telegraph

  1. The Guardian beats his chest while roaring, and his eyes flash red for a brief moment.
  2. The Boss attempts to grab a player in front of him.
  3. If at least one player gets grabbed, the boss slams them 3 times towards the ground.
  4. The Guardian glows blue.

What To Do

  1. Make sure that exactly one player stays in front of the boss to get grabbed.
  2. Wait for the 3 slam attacks to be over and use a Counter Attack in front of the boss once he glows blue.
  3. Use skills with Weak Point affix to destroy the armor.

If he fails to grab someone or the players fail to counter Hanumatan, the boss skips the destruction check mechanic. This can lead to the death of the grabbed player(s).
