I recently finished a guide for thieves (and everyone else) on how to solo mordremoth. Downed him several weeks ago just recently had time to finish the video. Even though its a thief guide there are several tricks other classes can do too and also the fight is included in the video (at 7minutes if you want to skip ahead) along with Dialogue Boxes that tell you exactly what to dodge and what to do.
ps: spoilers in the video.
Guide Breakdown:
1) Specializations: Critical Strikes, Deadly Arts, Daredevil
2) Utilities: Optional. Recommend Stealths and/or Condition Removal.
3) Weapons: Dagger/Dagger, Pistol/Pistol
4) Boss fight
5) Loot
- Because this fight is a mechanic fight and knowing what to dodge and not stand in etc the specializations, utilities and weapons are pretty optional so play what you enjoy. In the video I just mention what I ran and why.
Full tips, tricks, hints, guide in the video.
Brief Tip List:
1) Stealth is your friend. The adds he spawns (illusions of your friends) will run away when stealthed so you can literally have them run back and forth not attacking you while you range/stealth them lol.
2) Melee attacks are obvious. Evades work quite well. D/D 3 has death blossom. S/D 3 has an evade too. Other classes like mesmers can take advantage of this too.
3) Don’t stand in the lightning. Hurts and causes torment. If you can’t remove it run out of lightning then don’t move till its gone. Purple/Blueish aura around him at times causes confusion, remove it or don’t attack till gone. Shockwave is similar to the fractal boss from frost and flame, get close to him to be safe.
4) “Run into” the updraft to glide. DON’T try “jumping” into it to glide like in the rest of the game. It doesn’t work and you will die. lol. It’s either a confirmed bug or a bad design mechanic but just run into it.
5) Stealth gliding makes avoiding the rocks a lot easier.
6) Daredevils get 3 stealth glides
7)You can’t cripple most of the illusion adds, but you can immobilize most of them.
8) Stealth makes closing rifts easier
Hope you guys like the guide and video! Was a lot of fun making it and my first one in a long time. While I included tips on here I go into a lot more detail explaining my choices in the video so definitely check that out too if you get the chance. Both the 7 minute intro about the specializations, utilities and weapon choices along with the actual boss fight that also has a lot of info in it too that you can read in the pop up dialogue boxes.
