Trials Boss Guide - Cloudrest - Relequen

In this video, we'll explain the mechanics and strategies used to fight Relequen in Cloudrest.

General Mechanics:

* If the two bosses are close together, they will Empower each other.

* Once one boss goes down, Z'Maja will summon tons of Creepers, so you want to kill both bosses around the same time. Remember that Relequen has only 15.5 million health, while Belanaril has over twice as much health at 37.5 million health.

Relequen (sometimes called Rider):

* He can use Lightning Form to create an AoE around himself.

* He will target one random player and anyone nearby with a draining attack that deals damage and stuns you if it completes. It will also drain your Magicka. This attack must be interrupted.

* He can do a sweeping frontal conal that will knock you back. If blocked, it will only stagger you.

* He will teleport to the farthest person away from him and leave an AoE on the ground.

* His Heavy Attack will shoot out balls of lightning that will stun you through block.

Belanaril (sometimes called Gryphon):

* All of her moves except the Whirlwinds will put a bleed on you. These bleeds do stack, so if you don't dodge any of her attacks, the ticks will hit for over 10k every second. This bleed can't be cleansed.

* She will rear up on her hind legs and do a frontal conal.

* Every so often, she will fly into the air and create small whirlwinds. These whirlwinds will stun you and place a DoT on you called Dark Drain. This can't be cleansed. She will also create a large whirlwind which will knock you down and place Dark Drain on you.

* She will rear onto her hind legs and screech. When this happens, 3 random people including tanks can be hit with Voltaic Overload. This will make you glow blue and have a big blue AoE around you. If you get Voltaic Overload, you will need to swap to your other bar and remain on that bar until you no longer glow blue. If you swap to your other bar, you will instantly kill you and everyone within that blue circle. The Voltaic Overload lasts for 10 seconds.

Shadow Realm:

* Every so often, a portal will appear in the middle of the room. People need to go into the portal and destroy the 3 crystals to spawn 3 orbs. These orbs will throw projectiles that deal Magic Damage to everyone in the Shadow Realm. When a crystal is destroyed, a spear of light will spawn in the real world. Someone needs to synergize with the spear to send it to the Shadow Realm. Once it is in the Shadow Realm, people there need to pick up the orbs with the synergy button and run to the spear. While you are holding onto the orb, you will be dealt constant Oblivion Damage. Once all 3 orbs are destroyed, everyone in the Shadow Realm will be returned to the real world. If you take too long, 4 Yaghra Monstrosities will spawn.

* A player can only enter the Shadow Realm once every 2 minutes. If they try to use the portal before that timer is up, they will die.
