Some questions about Giganticus Lupicus
Sorry I cant answer fully since im shooting stuff in my dungeon whilst answering here
1) If you have increased movement speed/ a pet/spirit/npc following you. You wont get hit by the autos most of the time. Other than that, you need to dodge:/ All I can say is, the auto attack doesnt follow you. It does miss from time to time. This may be feature or bug.
2) The indicators sometimes do bug out. It doesnt show certain areas that are targetted with AOE circles. ALso, if you stand in front of the landing spot, it will also hit you. Safest way to avoid getting hit is to stand behind the AOE circles as there is a range for these AOE circles. OR just dodge into one of these circles, it will count as an evade.
3)Stability will allow you to escape this yes, but generally with 20kish HP. 1 Heal whilst in this glob, you will generally survive. You can also dodge these spheres before they are cast, but stability definatly gets you out of harms way here. A Rangers “Rampage as one” for example will get you out of the bubble.
Hope it helped!

Hrm, so for his AoE vomit, if you can be hit while standing in front of the circle, does that mean that every one of those is actually a projectile and thus can be reflected?
1) Couple ways to avoid this without dodging. It zig zags so it is possible to strafe dodge it, though it is unreliable. You can block it, with aegis or if you have blocking move. You can also reflect it since it is a projectile. I am a mesmer and had great success using mirror as a heal to keep my alive and survive the random bolt coming at me.
2. The AOE circles are accurate most of the time, it just when he uses AOE spray in Phase 2 he also launches the regular bolt attack which have the same look. So it hard to tell if the indicators are bugged or if it just a hidden bolt in the spray. Best to use whatever you use to survive point 1 when outside the AOE.
3. Not enough time in the bubble to answer this one. Only thing I can comment on is you can teleport out the bubble, of course that only applies to certain classes.
I hear the AOE bolts are projectiles, but I not sure if they can be reflected or not.
1) You can dodge, block, reflect or get invulnerable. Simply dodge when you see it at the top of your screen, since doesnt take the direct route, you have usually enough time to dodge it, if you feel like you wont make it, use a spell.
2) He shoots random bolts at the same time, this is what kills most people. I usually handle it this way: either get out of the circles and watch out for another bolt heading towards you or just run through all circles and dodge at the right timing, just like against project alpha, this seems like one of the most reliable method to me, given that youre good at timing.
3) The dome usually gets castet on the player with the most toughness. The easierst way is to teleport out the second you get cought. Keep in mind that the knockdown occurs when you run into the bubble, so when you dont touch it, you dont get knocked down. So you either stand still and survive with a heal, or run out with stability or invulnerability. He also has a cast animation on that spell, so dodging at the right timing, which is really difficult, will make him place the dome at a wrong spot.
In the 3rd phase he also has a massive AOE bolt barrage, you can block the projectiles with feedback
General tip: Always bring a mesmer, they need love. Make sure you have as many illusions, or other allies, like the thief ult arround in the 2nd and 3rd phase, sometimes he decides to target them, thats taking away a hit from the group.
I would love to see 5 devs to do this boss and explain exactly why it was very enjoyable content.

With some range and swiftness I can quite well avoid the single projectile with zig-zag (though not consistently, have ran it like 7 times maybe). I believe (at least like to believe) that it can be zig-zagged reliably.
I don’t know what is with the bubble. I just dodge out of it (sometimes taking damage depending on reflexes/luck), some people say they can’t do it.
1. the missile zigs and zags. Ive actually found it easier to dodge by running towards it.
2. From my understanding it works like this, the circle shows the landing zone for the missile. The missiles have their own separate AoE when they hit the ground and explode. Thus, standing slightly outside a circle may be safe, and may doom you. (I attached a crude picture at the end of this post)
3. you can roll through the bubble, you must roll such that you are passing through the bubbles edge during your invincibility frames. Failing that bring endure pain and just tank it out.
