Important Raid Information
Before you check out the Raid Mechanics and Boss Patterns, please read the following information, which are crucial knowledge required to clear this gate.
- In Gate 2, seven players fight the Skull Boss (outside) and one player fights Prokel (inside).
- To clear this gate, Prokel needs to die first. After that, you can kill the skull. Skull will keep reviving as long as Prokel is alive.
- The player fighting Prokel should get Raid Lead to use Sidereal Skills on top of that, the player inside should warn players outside about upcoming Mechanics, since all mechanics outside are triggered based on Prokel's HP.

Innana: CTRL+X

Main Mechanics
Main mechanics occur at certain HP intervals or Phases.
Skull Stagger
Skull x0 HP
x135 Orange Orbs
x125 Prokel Stagger
x125 PvP Mode
x110 Red or Blue
x80 4 Orbs
x45 Portals
Telegraph
- Occurs once purple Stagger bar depletes.
- A golden chain connects a random player with the boss.
Description
- The golden chain shows, which player gets teleported inside to fight Prokel.
- This mechanic can be only triggered if there is no player fighting inside.
- You can only make use of this mechanic 3 times. After that, a player's death inside causes a raid wipe.
What To Do
- To change the target of the chain, the player needs to touch the chain.
- Everyone else should stay away from the chain.
Telegraph
- Occurs once Skull's HP drops to x0.
- Skull and Prokel get staggered.
- Inside, a portal appears at the very north.
Description
- Since the player inside gets a stacking “Damage taken Increase” debuff, he can use the portal to leave and cleanse it.
- Be aware that the raid can enter the 1v1 battle inside only 3 times in total by using the previous Skull Stagger mechanic.
What To Do
- Use the portal and exit, if you need to reset the stacks or switch player to fight Prokel.
- How many stacks a player can handle depends on Class and Skill. More than 5 stacks might be difficult to handle for certain classes.
- You can ignore the portal and wait for the next stagger, if you are confident.
Telegraph
- Occurs at x135 HP.
- The boss teleports to the center.
- Summons 3 Orange orbs at the center and one portal at 1, 6 and 11 O'clock.
- The portals periodically shoot projectiles towards random directions.
Description
- A player hit by the orange orb gets debuffed and drops periodically puddles on the ground, which deal damage.
- Getting hit by another orange orb, while being debuffed, kills the player.
- Getting hit 2 times by a portal projectile removes the debuff.
- The portals frequently spawn additional orange orbs, if someone lost the debuff.
- In normal mode, there are 2 ways to clear this mechanic. In hard mode, only the first option is available.
What To Do
Option 1: Destroying all Portals
- Assign 3 players, who should let themselves get hit by the orange orb to get debuffed.
- Those 3 players need to drop the puddle together on a portal to destroy it.
- They need to do that to all 3 portals while dodging the projectiles from the portal.
- If someone loses the debuff, wait for the next orange orb to spawn before moving to the next portal.
Option 2: Removing debuffs
- The goal is to get hit by the orange orbs and remove the debuff immediately by getting hit by 2 projectiles.
- Repeat this process if a new orange orb spawns.
- After the 3rd new orange orb spawns out of a portal, the portal will start to explode. Stay away from the explosion radius.
Telegraph
- Occurs around x125, x80 and x45 HP.
- Prokel is staggered.
What To Do
- Use Sidereal: Thirain if available, to deal additional damage to Prokel.
- Optional: You can use Sidereal: Azena here too, but I recommend using Thirain instead.
Description
- Occurs around ~x125 — ~x80 and ~x45 — ~x0
- During that time, Prokel loses his Super Armor and can be staggered and crowed controlled.
- Most skills he uses while being in this mode can deal high damage or insta kill the player.
What To Do
- Use CC skills and combat items, to interrupt and slow down Prokel.
Telegraph
- Occurs at x110 HP.
- The boss teleports to the center.
- 2 random players get either a red or blue mark above their head.
- Boss starts to shoot purple orbs towards random directions.
Description
- The 2 chosen players drop after a few seconds, a safe zone with the color of their mark.
- Getting hit by a purple orb kills these 2 players.
- The other players get a color assigned, once they get hit by a purple orb. Getting hit by additional orbs, kills the player.
- After a short delay, the boss kills everyone who is outside a safe zone or in the wrong one.
What To Do
- The chosen 2 should avoid getting hit by the purple orbs and try to place the safe zones on a previously agreed place. Ping if needed to communicate with the other players.
- The other players need to get hit by one purple orb and move immediately to the safe zone matching their color.
Telegraph
- Occurs at x80 HP.
- The boss teleports to the center and unleashes a big AoE attack.
- A Stagger bar appears below the boss.
- The boss summons a rotating cone-shaped area, which explodes after a short delay.
Description
- Avoid the initial landing explosion and succeed the Stagger check.
- Afterwards, destroy all 4 orbs.
- Each orb can be only destroyed with a specific interaction.
- Failing to destroy all orbs in time leads to a raid wipe.
What To Do
- Dodge towards the boss as soon as he teleports to the center, to avoid getting hit by the aoe.
- Succeed the first Stagger check without using combat items. Save those for the follow-up orbs instead.
- Once the 4 orbs spawn, focus the orb first, which can be destroyed with your class more quickly.
- Purple orb: Destroy it by simply dealing damage. (burst Damage classes)
- Purple orb with Stagger bar: Need high Stagger damage. (classes with high Stagger Damage)
- White orb: Gets destroyed after getting hit multiple times. (multi-hit/consistent damage classes)
- Black orb: The player with the target above the head needs to stay aligned with the boss and the orb. Once the target disappears, dodge away. Otherwise, the laser one-shots not only the orb but also the player.
Telegraph
- Occurs at x45 HP.
- The boss teleports to the center and summons 4 red orbs around him.
- The boss shoots exploding shards towards random locations.
Description
- Each red orb spawns with 1-3 blue marks above it.
- Destroying the red orbs, spawns a portal. The blue marks indicate, how many players can enter that portal.
- The follow-up one-shot attack of the boss can be avoided by entering the portal.
- Afterwards, a Dark Knight appears on a random location. As long as this knight is alive, the player inside, gets a darkness debuff.
What To Do
- Go to the positions shown above, based on your party number.
- Ping if a red orb with 3 marks spawns close to you. Destroy the red orb and enter the portal.
- If the red orb close to you and another player has only 1 mark, then one of you need to move to the portal with 3 marks, by following the ping made by other players.
- Kill the Dark Knight as soon as possible.

Description
Throughout the entire fight, small mobs will keep spawning. If a mob survives long enough, it turns red. Pay attention to the following buff icons on the boss:
Killing 25 red mobs, staggers the boss outside and drops an ether orb close to Prokel inside. The player inside can pick it up to get an Invincible buff for 10 seconds.
If there are 30 or more mobs alive, a raid wipe occurs.
What To Do
- Don't focus too much on the trash mobs, since they usually die by your AoE skills. But always keep an eye on the buff icon.
- Kill red mobs as soon as you spot those.
- It is not easy to intentionally let normal mobs turn red. Additionally, you might risk reaching the 30 mob cap fast, if you let too many alive.

- White Summoner: Charms nearby players, if you fail the Stagger check.
