Guild Wars 2

People are saying this battle is all about luck and that it’s too hard. This is false. Every class has the ability to do this fight. Yes. All of them.

If you do the fight right, you never need to dodge. Ever.

The RNG of This Fight

There are only two things that are random in this fight:

• The Pull Orb – You really need to listen up for this. Get that down fast or prepare your stunbreaker/blocks/dodges.
• Liadri’s first attack after part 1 – She either dives at your face (dodge it) or spins (murder her!)

Small Note

The arena you do this in matters. Some arenas have slightly different placement of the white circles and spawn locations. For the most part, it’s close, but generally you want to choose the same arena every time.

Ability Checklist:

• Vigor, blocks, evades, invulnerabilities all help. Sigil of Energy and Runes of the adventurer really help. These are not necessary for success
• Condition removal. This boss will cripple and weaken you for part 2, so condition removal is a must.
• Ranged Damage. Trying to melee this boss is just making it harder on yourself.
• Snare. If Liadri gets close to you for phase two, you will take a lot of damage. Also, the visions will creep up on you if you don’t snare them.
• Swiftness. This really helps with Part 2 and escaping visions.

Phase 1

If you have pull skills

• Destroy the pull orb.
• Run to the first white circle. Pull the first vision that pops up into the circle. Throw the orb at Liadri.
• Run to the second white circle. Dodge around until the visions get there. If the visions ball up on you, either guide them away or block kill them. To block kill them, use anything that will make their attack miss, be blocked or evaded to kill them.
• Destroy the pull orb.
• Run to the third white circle and throw the orb in. Same strategy as last time for too many visions at once.

If you don’t have pull skills

• Destroy the pull orb.
• Run to the first white circle. Dodge around until the vision goes into the circle. The AoE may spawn on you, but just dodge roll through it.
• Run to the second white circle. Dodge around until the visions get there. If the visions ball up on you, either guide them away or block kill them. To block kill them, use anything that will make their attack miss, be blocked or evaded to kill them.
• Destroy the pull orb.
• Run to the third white circle and throw the orb in. Same strategy as last time for too many visions at once.

Once you have mastered part 1, it’s time for the fun part

Part 2

The most important thing to know about this part is the pattern of the AoE circles. It’s a bow tie shape that switches between two variations of it. Watch another person do Liadri to have a good visual example. The key weakness of this is that if you stay closer to the center, you hardly have to walk far at all to be in the next safe zone.

Keep this in mind: You must be in the safe zone BEFORE the AoE circles pop up to have enough time to get any good amount of damage on Liadri out. If you have to dodge into the safe zone, just try to catch up and forget about damage.

On to the strategy:

• When the third orb hits Liadri, she will either attack with the whip (Diving at you) or spin in circles. If she spins, THIS IS THE TIME TO ATTACK!
• Run to the fourth white circle. The AoE circles will not start on this location.
• Run in small circles near the center of the arena. The camera will be better here and you will not have to run as far. If the visions creep up to much, whip out a block, evade or blind and let them kill themselves.

Here’s a video showing me not only completing Liadri, but also doing it with multiple gambits. This can be done on ANY class.
