Stage 1- Corrupted Shaman


Easiest stage of all. Kill all the mobs and wait for the Archbishop to suck the life force of the Shaman.

Boss' attack pattern
1) Summon a mini black hole that sucks player in, explodes shortly afterwards.
- Just keep running will do.

2) 4 pillars around the Shaman turn black, a huge black magic circle appear on ground.
- Stay outside of the circle and you wont take any damage.
* Damage ignores invulnerable skills such as Avatar, Triangle Shot....

===========================================================

Stage 2- Half-Golem Poison Spore


Pretty easy as well due to its slow movement.

Boss' attack pattern
1) Throw 3 mushroom bombs towards player.
- Run clockwise / anti-clockwise facing the boss. If the aggro is on you, remember not to run into other party members!

2) Slam the ground once, huge AOE. (Earth Flip)
- Easily dodged by jumping. (Same with the ground slamming attack with the Golem in Manticore Nest)

3) Boss summons multiple mushrooms from ground, mushrooms explode after 5 seconds. (Massive damage!)
- Destroy the mushroom on the ground immediately! Dead mushroom will create a small protective barrier that protects player from the Mushroom Explosion.

===========================================================

Stage 4- Revived Punisher


There will be two stages. In the first stage, you will have to clear all the mobs that appear to break the barrier blocking the road. DO NOT approach the boss as he is invulnerable (Tips: If you can't clear fast enough, Priest can cast relic / FU can cast mirror to block the Punisher temporary) You will enter a room once breaking all 3 barriers which Punisher won't be invulnerable anymore.

6) Spinning Dive Slash (Jumps high and slams on ground)
- Deals massive damage. Punisher will cast this after Chain Hooking someone, which is deadly to classes with low HP. Others can just jump and dodge this.

Stage 6- Bishop & Ancient Golem


The Bishop will fuse himself with the Ancient Golem after failing a 1v4 FAIR FIGHT with the players. Paladin should stand at a side to provoke the Golem while the others stand the opposite side to attack. (Refer to the video)

There will be 2 phases. First phase is 5x ~ 4x HP. Hit the Golem's stomach (The glowing part) to damage it. Second phase starts at 3x HP. The Golem will stop taking damage from now on, but don't worry that's not a bug! Continue hitting its tummy till the Golem got fainted. Climb up its arm and attack the Bishop!
