YOU’VE REACHED LEVEL 50, STARTED DOING YOUR
VARIOUS DAILY ACTIVITIES, AND YOU’VE REACHED AT LEAST GEAR SCORE 340; NOW WHAT? MY NAME IS LIVID AND WELCOME BACK TO LEGACY
GAMING. TODAY WE ARE DIVING INTO LOST ARK AND SHOWING
YOU EXACTLY HOW TO TACKLE THE VERY FIRST ABYSS DUNGEON, DEMON BEAST CANYON. [INTRO] LET’S JUST GET RIGHT INTO IT. BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST ABYSSAL DUNGEON
YOU WILL ENCOUNTER, I THINK IT’S IMPORTANT IN THIS VIDEO TO JUST TOUCH ON A FEW THINGS
FIRST. ABYSSAL DUNGEONS ARE ESSENTIAL TO YOUR PROGRESSION
BECAUSE IN ADDITION TO BEING A FANTASTIC SOURCE OF WEEKLY GOLD, THEY ALSO PROVIDE YOU WITH
UNIQUE SETS OF GEAR THAT HAVE SET BONUSES, AS WELL AS POTENT JEWELRY PIECES. AS SOON AS YOU HIT 302, YOU’LL SIMPLY DO
ENOUGH ACTIVITIES TO UPGRADE YOUR GEAR TO 340, UNLOCKING THE VERY FIRST SET OF ABYSSAL
DUNGEONS, THE FIRST BEING DEMON BEAST CANYON, A REQUIREMENT TO OPENING THE SECOND ABYSSAL
DUNGEON IN TIER 1. BECAUSE OF THAT, WE THINK IT’S NECESSARY
TO BREAK DOWN THE DUNGEON, INCLUDING ALL BOSS FIGHTS, IN A STRAIGHTFORWARD, DIGESTIBLE MANNER
SO THAT ANY PLAYER POTENTIALLY STUCK ON THIS CONTENT CAN CONTINUE ON WITH THEIR PROGRESSION. PATHS UP TO EACH MAJOR FIGHT WILL BE TALKED
ABOUT IF THERE IS A PARTICULARLY DIFFICULT MECHANIC, OTHERWISE MOST OF THE FOCUS WILL
BE ON BREAKING DOWN EACH BOSSES RESPECTIVE MOVESET AND CORE FIGHT MECHANICS TO HELP YOU
BE AS SUCCESSFUL AS POSSIBLE EACH PART OF THE DUNGEON WILL BE BROKEN INTO
CHAPTERS DOWN BELOW, SO FEEL FREE TO JUMP AROUND TO THE SECTION YOU NEED. [FIRST BOSS LEAD-UP] N/A [FIRST BOSS - CORRUPTED VAZUELA] THE VERY FIRST BOSS YOU WILL ENCOUNTER IN
DEMON BEAST CANYON IS CORRUPTED VAZUELA, A BLOOD-OOZING MONSTROSITY, AND WHILE THIS FIGHT
IS PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD, THE MECHANICS ARE LIKELY WHERE THIS ENCOUNTER MIGHT CAUSE SOME
DIFFICULTY, SO WE WILL START THERE. DURING THE FIGHT, AT RANDOM, THE BOSS WILL
AGGRO A SPECIFIC PLAYER, DENOTED BY THIS MARKER ABOVE THAT PLAYERS HEAD. WHEN YOU SEE THIS, THAT PLAYER MUST RUN TO
A SIDE OR SECTION OF THE MAP AWAY FROM OTHER PLAYERS AND THE CORE FIGHT THAT IS TAKING
PLACE. AFTER A SHORT DURATION, THE BOSS WILL SPAWN
A PERSISTENT AOE AT THAT TARGETS LOCATION. KEYWORD HERE IS PERSISTENT. THESE DO CONSISTENT DAMAGE WHILE IN THEM AND
CAN EVEN OVERLAP LEADING TO HEALTH POOLS NOT LASTING VERY LONG. THE OTHER MECHANIC YOU’LL NEED TO BE AWARE
OF IS STAGGERING THE BOSS. IN ORDER TO CLEAR THE FIELD OF THESE AOE’S,
PLAYERS MUST STAGGER THE BOSS WITH STAGGER DAMAGE. PRETTY SIMPLE. IN TERMS OF ATTACK PATTERNS, WE HAVE FOUR
TO REALLY WORRY ABOUT. THE BOSS AT ANY WILL SWING ITS ARM TOWARDS
A PLAYER, DEALING DAMAGE AND PUSHING THE PLAYER BACK. KEEP THAT IN MIND AS ABILITIES WITH PUSH IMMUNITY
CAN CONTINUE TO CAST OR CHANNEL THROUGH THIS ATTACK. NEXT UP, AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF STANDING
STILL, THE BOSS WILL CHANNEL A LARGE, GROWING AOE. STAY OUTSIDE THE RANGE OF THIS RING TO AVOID
THE RESULTING EXPLOSION, BUT BE SURE TO WAIT AT LEAST A SECOND BEFORE RE-ENGAGING THE BOSS,
AS THE ATTACK LINGERS IN THAT AOE. AT RANDOM TIMES, THE BOSS WILL LAUNCH ITSELF
UP INTO THE AIR. WHEN IT DOES SO, AN AOE WILL TARGET A LOCATION
BEFORE THE BOSS COMES SLAMMING DOWN, DAMAGING EVERYTHING WITHIN THE SMALL RADIUS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, PLAYERS NEED TO EITHER
BE RIGHT ON THE OUTSIDE EDGE OF THIS EXPLOSION OR A FAIR DISTANCE AWAY. THIS IS BECAUSE NOT EVEN A SECOND AFTER THE
INITIAL EXPLOSION OCCURS, AN OUTER RING WILL RAPIDLY GROW, RESULTING IN SECOND, LARGER
OUTER RING EXPLOSION. FINALLY, VAZUELA WILL TELEGRAPH A STRAIGHT
LINE AOE. AFTER A SHORT CAST TIME, THE BOSS WILL ROLL
INTO A BALL AND SHOOT STRAIGHT DOWN THAT PATH THAT DEALS DAMAGE AND THROWS BACK EVERYTHING
IN THE WAY. UPON REACHING THE END OF PATH, THE BOSS WILL
TAKE A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME TO STAND UP BEFORE RE-ENGAGING WITH THE PLAYERS. THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO HEAVIER HITTING
SKILLS AND BACK DAMAGE FOCUSED ATTACKS. THE FIGHT IS THAT STRAIGHT FORWARD, BUT AS
I MENTIONED EARLIER, IF YOU DON’T KEEP THE PERSISTENT AOES LOCALIZED TO AN AREA, WHILE
ALSO TAKING THE TIME TO FULLY REMOVE THEM, THE BOSS ARENA CAN GET VERY CROWDED, VERY
QUICKLY. [SECOND BOSS LEAD-UP] N/A [SECOND BOSS - VILE SCARKRILL] THE SECOND AND FINAL BOSS IN THIS DUNGEON,
SCARKRILL, IS A LITTLE MORE MECHANIC HEAVY THAN THE PREVIOUS ONE, A COMMON THEME ACROSS
ALL ABYSS DUNGEONS YOU’LL ENCOUNTER WHILE PROGRESSING. HERE WE WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO TALK ABOUT
EACH ATTACK BEFORE GETTING INTO THE MAJOR MECHANIC, AS COMBAT HEAVILY OCCURS PRIOR TO
THE MECHANIC TAKING PLACE. IN TOTAL, SKRILL HAS 6 MAJOR ATTACKS THAT
YOU’LL NEED TO WATCH OUT FOR. FIRST UP, AT ANY TIME DURING THE FIGHT, THE
BOSS CAN CAST SEVERAL SMALL AOES THAT DETONATE AFTER A SHORT TIME. THESE DEAL MODERATE DAMAGE AND ALSO LIFT ANY
PLAYERS HIT BY THEM UP INTO THE AIR, SO WATCH YOUR STEP AROUND THE ARENA. NEXT, AT ANY TIME, THE BOSS CAN TELEPORT TO
A LOCATION NEAR A PLAYER, STRIKING IN A SMALL FRONTAL AOE, FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY A CIRCULAR
SPIN ATTACK THAT CAN LAUNCH A PLAYER AWAY FROM THEM. THIS HITS DECENTLY HARD, AND THE SECOND AOE
SPIN ATTACK SHOULD ALWAYS BE AVOIDED. THE NEXT TWO ATTACKS ARE BOTH AOE CONE ATTACKS. THE FIRST HAPPENS WHEN THE BOSS CASTS TWO
CONE SHAPED AOES ON EITHER SIDE OF HIM THAT DEAL CHANNELED STAGGER DAMAGE. THE SECOND IS LARGE AOE CONAL ATTACK THAT
OCCURS IN FRONT OF HIM THAT IS SIMILAR TO THE FIRST CONE ATTACK IN TERMS OF DAMAGE AND
DURATION. HERE IS BEST TO GET BEHIND THE BOSS. BOTH OF THESE ATTACKS HAVE LONG ANIMATIONS
WHICH PROVIDE GREAT OPPORTUNITIES TO GET DAMAGE IN. THE BOSS CAN ALSO THROW OUT A RANGED HOOK
ATTACK, ORIGINATING FROM HIS FRONT, THAT DEALS DAMAGE AND PUSHES ANYONE HIT BACK, WHICH CAN
BE DEVASTATION IN COMBINATION WITH HIS FRONTAL CONE AOE. LAST UP, AT ANY TIME WITH ALMOST NO TELEGRAPH,
THE BOSS WILL FIRE OUT 5 ORBS IN A FAN PATTERN FROM HIS FRONT SIDE. AS WITH A MAJORITY OF MECHANICS IN THIS FIGHT,
IT IS BEST TO KEEP BEHIND THE BOSS AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE. NOW THAT THOSE ARE OUT OF THE WAY, LETS GO
OVER THE MAJOR MECHANIC OF THIS FIGHT, ONE THAT IF YOU DON’T EXECUTE WILL RESULT IN
A WIPE. AS THE FIGHT GOES ON, YOU’LL NOTICE A RED,
SQUARE BUFF ON THE BOSS WITH A SWORD INSIDE. THIS SHOWS HOW MUCH DARKNESS THE BOSS HAS
ABSORBED OVER THE COURSE OF THE FIGHT, AND WHEN IT REACHES 6 STACKS, THE MECHANIC WILL
BEGIN. FOUR ORBS WILL SPAWN AT CLOCK POSITIONS 3,
6, 9, AND 12. AS A GROUP, PICK AN ORB, AND TRAVEL TO IT. ONCE NEAR THE ORB, DO NOT ATTACK THE ORB. SIMPLY WAIT FOR THE BOSS TO TELEPORT ONTO
ONE AGGROED PARTY MEMBER AND HAVE EVERYONE DASH AWAY. THE BOSS WILL PERFORM A SPIN ATTACK THAT WILL
KILL THE ORB AND IMPAIR THE BOSS. DO THIS 4 TIMES, ONCE AT EACH POSITION AND
THE MECHANIC WILL CONCLUDE. FAILING TO DO SO, AS WE MENTIONED, WILL RESULT
IN A WIPE. THIS FIGHT IS A BIT MORE HECTIC AND REQUIRES
A TEAM TO EFFECTIVELY COMMUNICATE, EITHER IN VOICE, CHAT, OR VIA PINGS, OTHERWISE YOU
WILL HAVE A ROUGH TIME. ALSO, SINCE MOST OF THE BOSSES ATTACKS OCCUR
FROM THE SIDES OR FRONT, IT IS BEST TO ALWAYS REPOSITION YOUR TEAM BEHIND SKRILL. JUST LIKE THAT, YOU’VE CLEARED THE VERY
FIRST ABYSS DUNGEON, GRANTING YOU ACCESS TO THE NEXT DUNGEON IN TIER 1. [OUTRO] HOPEFULLY THIS GUIDE HELPED YOU EFFECTIVELY
TACKLE EACH ENCOUNTER AND BOSS THAT THIS DUNGEON HAD TO THROW AT YOU. IT’S OUR FIRST REAL TASTE AT RAID LIKE MECHANICS,
AND IT ONLY RAMPS UP IN DIFFICULTY FROM HERE. IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME TACKLING AN ABYSS
DUNGEON, WE WANTED TO PUT A SMALL NOTE HERE AT THE END. SPECIAL RESOURCES SUCH AS KNIGHTS OATH CAN
BOTH DROP FROM ENCOUNTERS AS WELL AS FROM DISMANTLING THE GEAR YOU GET FROM THESE DUNGEONS. SINCE YOU WILL BE COMPLETING THEM TRYING TO
GET A FULL SET OF THE DUNGEON GEAR FOR PROGRESSION, ANY ITEMS YOU DON’T GET AS A DROP CAN BE
PURCHASED FROM THE VENDOR WITH A SWORD ICON WITH THESE SPECIAL RESOURCES, SAVING YOU TIME
AND KEEPING YOU ON YOUR PROGRESSION PATH. YOU CAN THEN USE THE GEAR TRANSFER SYSTEM
TO MIGRATE YOUR UPGRADES ON YOUR PREVIOUS ARMOR SET TO THE NEW ABYSSAL GEAR, SAVING
YOU TIME AND RESOURCES. ANYWAYS GUYS, LIVID AND I LIKE TO KEEP THESE
THINGS NICE AND SHORT, AND I’M SURE MANY OF YOU JUST WANT TO DIVE BACK INTO THE GAME. WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL SUPPORT
