Battle Items:
- HP Potion of your choice
- Time Stop Potion or Atropine Potion
- Sacred Charm (or Camouflage Robe)
- Corrosive Bomb or Destruction Bomb
Telegraph
- Occurs at or near x175 bars and randomly below x85 bars.
- Akkan teleports to the center and summons a poison aura around him.
- Green ground explosions occur at random spots.
- Tentacles spawn at random locations.
What To Do
- Avoid staying too close to the center.
- Destroy the tentacles spawning around the boss.
Telegraph
- Occurs at x160 and x55 bars.
- Akkan teleports to the center and summons a poison aura around him.
- A skull shaped object spawns at a random location.
- One red and two green ghosts spawn. One additional green ghost spawns on Hard Mode.
- Periodically, random players get a disease aura, which summons a puddle after a few seconds.
- Counterable Akkan clones appear randomly at the edge of the map on 3x+1 spots. (Only Hard Mode)
What To Do
- To survive the mechanic, you need to prevent the red ghost from reaching the skull for a certain duration.
If the red ghost touches the skull, it is a raid wipe. If the green ghost touches a player, the player is forced to walk towards Akkan's green aura in the center and receives massive damage. - Pick up the skull, move to the 5 o'clock position and throw it inside the yellow marked circle on the ground.
- Once the skull and the player are at the correct position, wait for the red ghost to walk a few steps towards the skull before picking it up and start running clockwise.
- Optional Camouflage Robe strategy: Activate Camouflage Robe shortly before picking up the skull and go clockwise. As long as the player is invisible, the red ghost will stop the chase. Once visible, wait for the red ghost to get closer before throwing the skull to yellow marker to cleanse yourself. Pick up the skull and proceed clockwise repeating the same actions.
- The skull carrier gets a stacking slow debuff, which is why that player needs to throw the skull to the locations at 5, 7, 11 and 1 o'clock by pressing “Q”.
- The puddles left behind by the disease aura deal damage and increase Disease Meter of players standing on top of it. Furthermore, these puddles reappear in the exact same location once the mechanic repeats at x55 bars. So make sure to place the puddles at the edge of the map, while avoiding the green ghosts patrolling that area.
Telegraph
- Occurs at or near x140, x85 and x30 bars.
- Akkan summons a red hole in the center.
- In certain intervals, a ring shaped explosion occurs either close to the red hole or at the edge of the map.
What To Do
- While fighting Akkan, avoid touching the red hole or standing in the ring shaped explosions, since these increase your Disease Meter heavily.
- After the 3rd explosion, Akkan disappears and teleports to a random player to perform a 1-hit frontal attack. Dodge it by moving away or behind Akkan.
- Optional: The raid lead can use Sidereal: Innana between x160 and x140 bars.
- This mechanic at x85 bars is slightly different. The 1-hit attack occurs right at the start of the mechanic. So group up at 6 O'clock and wait for Akkan to reappear before moving/dodging away. After that, the raid lead can use Sidereal: Thirain in front of the boss to trigger a special sidereal interaction, which deals high damage and provides the players with a big window to deal uninterrupted damage.
Telegraph
- Occurs at or near x110 bars and afterward in specific intervals.
- Akkan teleports to the center, draws a circle around him.
- A big shadow appears at the back of the boss.
What To Do
- The goal is to stay always in the moving shadow of Akkan. Getting exposed to Akkan petrifies, the player. At the end of the mechanics, all petrified players die.
- There is one skull on each side of the boss. A glowing skull indicates in which direction the boss is about to turn. From the player's point of view, if the right skull glows, the boss will turn left. If the left skull glows, then Akkan will turn right. So pay attention to the skulls and follow the shadow closely to survive this mechanic.
- This pattern can be split into 3 rounds. Each round consists of 3 individual “turning moves” except for the 3rd segment, which is always a 180° rotation to one side and slowly rotating back to the default position.
- Tips: The first time the turning direction changes during the first 2 rounds, the boss always rotates 180°. So this means there are only a limited amount of patterns which can occur during the first 2 rounds. [90°⇾90°⇾180°] or [90°⇾180°⇾90°]
- The boss can also perform a rotating laser attack. Akkan's red lantern glowing is the indicator for this pattern. Make sure to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise with the shadow to avoid getting hit by the laser.
Telegraph
- Occurs once boss reaches 0 hp.
- Akkan teleports to the center and summons a ring shaped poison fog covering the outside of the battle area.
- A crosshair appears on the boss, indicating that “destruction” is possible.
- Counterable Akkan clones appear randomly at the edge of the map.
What To Do
- To succeed this mechanic and the raid, you have to deal a certain amount of Weak Point damage within a short duration. If you fail to do so, Akkan does a map wide 1-hit attack and heals back multiple bars. You can survive this by using Time Stop Potion, but in most cases, you won't have enough time to get Akkan back to 0 bars, before the boss enrages.
- Once the crosshair on the boss appears, use Destruction Bomb and skills with Weak Point damage on cooldown.
- Use Sidereal: Thirain as soon as it is available to assist with the destruction.
- Counter the clones on the outer edge of the arena.
- Successful counters increase the Sidereal Meter by 50% and reset your skill cooldowns, which is why it is important to not miss.
- During this entire mechanic, the following patterns can occur, which you need to avoid while leading Weak Point damage to the boss and countering the clones.
- Cone-shaped shockwave: Follows a player briefly before shooting a shockwave, which 1 shots most players.
- Cross lasers: Avoid standing in the cross shaped area.
- Ground Explosions: These have different shapes, move to unaffected safe spots to avoid getting hit.
- Tentacles: Dodge tentacle's attacks and destroy it.

- You will gain a slowly stacking debuff that increases the damage they take from the laser.
- If the damage you receive becomes too large move out until the debuff stacks run out, then go back.
- Dangerous attacks marked with red telegraphs will periodically spawn and try to interrupt the process.
- Anyone hit by them will instantly die, so it is important to avoid them first and then proceed with the stagger.

- Rub your character against the laser at the 9 o'clock position to pick it up, then proceed to drag it across the arena towards Akkan at 3 o'clock.
- While dragging the purple laser, you will gain a movement speed reduction debuff that stacks to 3. If it reaches 3 stacks, your character will get dragged back to the starting position.
- An NPC will be standing in the center of the arena, blocking the green laser. Carry the purple laser to him and attach it to the NPC.
- Once the purple laser is attached to the NPC, wait until your debuff times out. Then re-take the laser from the NPC and finish dragging it over to Akkan and attach it to him.
- Then stagger Akkan and you're done.

Telegraph
- Occurs at or near x140 bars.
- Akkan teleports to the center, draws a large green area around him.
- Six towers spawn on the arena at 11, 12, 1, 5, 6 and 7 o'clock positions.
Description
- Your goal is to recognize which of the two shapes you must create, either Star or Hexagon. Then turn them in the right direction to create the required shape.
- The shape can either be a Star or Hexagon.
- Go to the towers that are facing the wrong way and interact with them by pressing "G" to turn them clockwise.
- Once all lasers are targeted to the correct direction and the shape is formed, the mechanic gets resolved.
- Be very careful not to stand in the path of the black lasers for too long, as they inflict large amounts of damage very quickly. On the contrary, white lasers do minimal damage.
- If you take too long to assemble the required shape, the raid will die to a periodical aoe explosion that Akkan is performing during the mechanic.

Battle Items:
- HP Potion of your choice
- Destruction Bomb
- Dark Grenade or Whirlwind Grenade
- Time Stop Potion, Atropine Potion or Stimulant
What To Do
- Certain patterns of the boss can destroy the outer part (tiles) of the octagon shaped arena.
- Broken tiles have red effects on them. If you get pushed on those tiles, you will die.
- Some patterns allow you to recover broken tiles, which then turn purple. Purple and normal tiles are safe, you won't die if you get pushed on top of these tiles.
- To recover destroyed tiles, do as followed:
- Deplete the normal Stagger bar of the boss first.
- Succeed the Destruction check.
- Guide the big red orb, which spawns at the boss and follows the closest player towards a broken tile.
What To Do
- Once the pattern starts, go to the 3 O'clock position to the right of the boss.
- Dodge the first 2 slices and the mirror attack first before guiding the 3rd slice towards the mirror on that position.
- The slices are easier to dodge and readjust, the closer you are to the boss.
- Don't panic because of the yellow explosions caused by the mirror. It always explodes first before the 3rd slice locks on a position. So you can safely dodge that explosion first and should still have a second left to readjust the 3rd slice.
- Rotate clockwise towards the next mirror and repeat step 2. Upon completion, rotate one final time clockwise towards the next mirror to repeat step 2.
What To Do
- Stagger the boss first.
- Stagger at least the two bottom mirrors by using Whirlwind Grenade and stagger skills.
What To Do
- To succeed this mechanic, you need to Stagger the boss.
- The required Stagger is high, but by countering the correct mirrors, you get a Stagger buff to assist you.
- Countering the wrong mirrors or missing the Counter timing increases the Stagger difficulty and deals high damage.
- Counter Mirrors which the sword pierces.
- Ignore mirrors which aren't pierced by the boss' sword.
- Upon successfully countering the correct mirror, your counter skill will reset.
- Attack the boss after each counter, to reduce his stagger bar!
- Tips
- Boss always stabs 2 mirrors and pretend to stab 2. (4 in total)
- In case you forgot, the color of the thorn helps to differentiate between the correct and wrong mirror to counter. Red thorn indicates the correct mirror and purple one only comes out of the wrong one.
What To Do
- Use Destruction Bomb on the Mirror at 6 O'clock position, to destroy it.
- Stagger boss and use Whirlwind Grenade if needed.
- Use skills with Weak Point affix on the sword to destroy it.
What To Do
- Move to the front of the boss after the 2nd circle spawns below you, to get grabbed.
- Ignore the 3rd circle, since the boss will grab you before it explodes.
- Kill the Guardian.
- Stagger the boss.
What To Do
- Method 1: Ignore the mirrors and focus on dealing damage to the boss. Since 4 tiles will be destroyed because of the mirrors, you need to play carefully to avoid getting pushed into those.
- Method 2: Destroy the Mirror at 6 = O'Clock and try to fight the boss at the bottom part of the arena. This gives you more space to fight, but you have to sacrifice some damage during the transition to stagger the mirror.
What To Do
- Try to use a Counter skill as soon as he flashes blue.
- Failing this counter leads to destruction of all tiles hit by the cones.
