Auto Attacks (Magic example / Ranged example)

Mechanic: Pthentraken uses Magic and Ranged auto attacks.

​

Solution:

⬥ If lower Defence pray against Magic /

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Pray once you are comfortable surviving the mechanics

​

Converging Lightning (Example)

Mechanic: Pthentraken summons 3-5 lightning beams around the arena. These beams move towards Pthentraken and deal heavy Magic damage if you stand in them (up to 5000-5500 damage every 2 ticks).

​

Solution:

⬥ Either:

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Wear Insulated boots to reduce damage taken

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Avoid standing in the lightning beams as they move towards Pthentraken

​

Storm Column / Overcharged (Example)

Mechanic: An overhead bar appears above the player. When the bar empties, a 3x3 Storm Column appears on the player's tile, dealing rapidly increasing typeless damage, up to 3600 damage every 2 ticks. It also gives the Overcharged buff.

​

While Overcharged is active, your hits on Pthentraken deal an additional Magic hit for 5% of the original damage, and Surge has a 1-tick cooldown.

​

Solution:

⬥ Move away from the Storm Column as soon as it appears, like in the example video

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Moving too early may make the Storm Column appear at your new location
