Need help on learning Thaumanova Reactor
Here’s some of the most basic info:
In order to get to the final boss, you need to clear out 4 rooms. You can do them in any order, but it’s recommended (because it will be easier) to do heat room as one of last.
In 1 room you will be fighting subject 6. High DPS parties can burst him down really quickly and completely ignore all mechanics, but since you play power reaper, I’m gonna guess that won’t be the case and you’ll have to fight him slowly. Every 25% of his HP, he will summon a veteran ooze (who has a breakbar) that will slowly move towards him. You need to break and kill this veteran ooze, otherwise he will merge with Subject 6 and regenerate his health. There will be smaller oozes periocally spawning as well, but these should not concern you too much as they have very low HP and will die to AoE dmg anyway. Also beware – after Subject 6 starts his blocking attack, every hit he takes from someone in your party (hits by companions such as minions don’t count, only from actual human players) will give him 1 stack of a buff, which makes him do an extremely devastating attack upon reaching 20 stacks. Obviously, you should stop attacking at that point.
Dormitories is another room, where 4 inquest members are trapped and must be rescued. This is very simple, just break the doors holding them in (and maybe also deal with the mobs attacking them). If you rescue them in time, you will be rewarded by 2 of these inquest members placing a debuff on the final boss, which will allow you to defeat him much faster and easier. If you fail to save the inquest in time (usually happens thanks to some jerk who rushes in without other party members being nearby), you will still be able to clear the room, but you will not have the helpful debuff for the last boss.
Then there is the laser room, very simple. It contains 3 consoles, each of them being very clearly marked on the minimap including its number. Console 1 (interacting with it) opens forcefield before console 2, which opens forcefield before console 3. Interacting with console 3 will complete the room. During all of this, you have to be avoiding champion golems and the laser attacks, feel free to utilize the shields which are prepared at the start of the room to help you with that.
Last room is the heat room. Objective is simple – get to the end. You will be taking a lot of damage periodically, which can be avoided by standing in a protective bubble. Those are created by plugging cooling rods (you get 1 for each of the rooms you cleared previously) into their spots marked on the minimap. Usually it’s recommended to use 2 cooling rods, but in highly coordinated parties you don’t even need 1. (And some builds might be able to do it solo.)
Last boss is also pretty simple, just kill him. Tiles under you will sometimes disappear, but this will be clearly telegraphed ahead of time, giving you plenty of space to move somewhere else. If you get cornered, there’s still the possibility of saving yourself with your special action key. Whenever you receive a bomb during this fight, it would be very advisable to move away from the rest of your group, so that they can safely continue to melee the boss.
If there’s still something unclear, feel free to ask.
