This boss at the end is just insane but not impossible.
The stupid part is, that it goes easier if 5 people just dps him and 1-2 use poison, everyone ignore crystals. Stability is also important for everyone, so good to have guardian in party.

Most challenging path so far for me.

that’s the easiest path now with all the problems added to path 2.

i find him easy, just kill the first fiery effigy that spawns, and ignore the second, each time i’ve done this path the boss dies around about 10 seconds after the second one spawns.

Im not sure if i know what are you talking about.

With this effigy i had always problem when his hp got to 30% – then he starts heal even more than at the beginning. Part 30% → 0 took us more then 100% → 30%

Any pro tips on killing that Boss at the end of Path 1? We’re there now, and his crystals are healing him too quickly. And we can;t kill them fast enough.

oh sorry i read it as first boss of path 1, the slavedriver guy.

for tips of defeating the end boss of path one, it’s just to go full on nuke and ignore the crystals, poison will help immensly and so will Stability, if you have a guardian consider using Hallowed Ground around the boss and have everyone stay in it, it will make you immune to any knockbacks for a good 10+ seconds.

in general Stability helps alot, i’ve never beaten this boss whilst having someone focus on crystals, it’s just easier to burst him down.

Exactly Lorana, that’s what i tried to say in my 1st post :P
We tried like 3 times. 2 times with 1-2 guys focusing on crystals, 3 tried to dps him and we were using poison… both times were a failure.
We managed to kill him at the 3rd try when all of us focused boss completely ignoring crystals. We kept all more important skills to the moment boss had like 30% hp (cause after his hp dropped to like 70% he stops healing, and starts healing again at 25-30%hp mark)… Mesmer was using time warp, i had put my War Banner, and guardian was giving us stability + necro and ranger were poisoning him. It still took some time but we finally managed to kill him this way… Screenshot shows moment just after killing last boss.

We did this path last night – it’s not that bad really. We went with 2 dps (myself [thief] and a mesmer) on the boss, and 3 people on crystals. I did keep poisons up the entire time to minimize his healing, but there are thresholds that you can get to as well so it’s almost staged. Once you get to certain percentages, it’s almost a checkpoint.

Can anyone confirm if the necromancer ability Well of Corruption works to counter his regen buff and turn it into conditions?

I can confirm that bountiful theft didn’t rip the regen buff from the boss and give it to us. Not sure about Well of Corruption though

it’s a special pve boon that you cant remove, not an actual regen boon, so it wont work, otherwise that would just be too easy.

removing his might buff does work though he quickly gains it back.

No it does not work that way. That would totally trivialize it.
