Can someone please explain this event to me? Where to go, and what to do once I get there?

I looked at the game “clock” site, and realized I had never done this event, nor see him/it in those areas before. I’d just like to try it at least once.

Thanks for your help.

I wrote an extensive guide (tl;dr included) here. You can use the map + timer and its alarm feature to be notified of the three maps the anomaly spawns in.

This event is not as hard as Tequatl but is quite rewarding with the price of mystic coin right now. Here are some reasons why I think this event fails often (after doing hundreds of these events):

  • Not a lot of players are aware of this event.
  • Players arrive to the event late so the boss got to run farther. You should always LFG taxi in ahead of time.
  • Players flocking the coalescence event because they didn’t know it scales horribly (I recommend 5 people doing coalescence).
  • The anomaly boss itself scales horribly with low people, and by low I mean 30 or less. This is worsened by players not attacking the boss immediately after the 60 seconds “cower stance” timer.

This event is fun to me, even without the 80-90 silver mystic coin reward and 50 silver vendor item, but for others, let that be your motivation for doing this event if you haven’t heard of it. It’s only 10 minutes long if you have a good map, and the gliding, running, CC’ing is much more fun than the other auto-attacking world bosses.
