Mechanics

Malakar can be one of the most fun and frustrating bosses to fight in Throne and Liberty because of how easily the mechanics can be messed up by players. During a Conflict spawn, Malakar can be taken advantage of to wipe enemy raids if you understand the following:

Fury Attack

• Pay attention to Malakar's Purple Fury Attack indicator, which is cast frequently during the fight. Malakar charges up electrical projectiles that must be blocked to avoid being stunned. Start counting from 1 up until 3 when Malakar casts the first Fury Attack. On the third Fury Attack, Malakar will always perform its Teleport, Petrify, and Vaccuum mechanic. Always run to the edge of the arena and hide behind a pillar, wall, or rock to avoid being pulled in.

General Patterns

• Malakar casts 1 to 2 red eyes above players within range throughout the fight. If there are 2 red eyes, the one that is open shows who Malakar is focusing on.
  • Melee, with the eye, needs to kite Malakar around so it does not catch up to them.
  • If Malakar catches the person with an eye, it begins smashing the ground with a large AoE multiple times, dealing massive damage to all players within range.
• Malakar casts purple projectiles randomly at players throughout the fight. Dodge the projectiles before they hit the ground to avoid the AoE damage.
• Malakar's iconic mechanic involves a Teleport, Petrify Stun, and mass AoE pull that reaches more than half of the arena. Malakar teleports to the furthest player within its aggro pool, casts a massive AoE Petrify Stun, and then Pulls all players using the same long-range AoE.
• To counter this mechanic, it's important to pre-select, preferably a DPS playing at max range, to bait the Teleport, and they can turn Malakar around to face away from allies and players so they don't get sucked in. This must happen very fast, so having a DPS with good movement speed is helpful to counter this mechanic.

Tips

• In a Conflict fight, players can bait the Teleport and Vacuum mechanic by using it to suck in enemy players. Or, players can wait for the Pull before rushing in to wipe enemy raids who are Vacuumed and Stunned by Malakar.
• A clever way to avoid the pull mechanic when the fight is disorganized is by positioning yourself behind a solid structure at the edge of the arena when Malakar Teleports. This stops your body from being Pulled towards Malakar. Unfortunately, this is not an easy thing to achieve for Melee DPS, who are normally in Melee range.
