Boss: The Black Rider

The Black Rider

AbilityPotencyEffect
Geirrothr Magic damage 80 instant
Hall of Sorrow Magic damage 60 instant large circle AoE leaving bleed puddle (unique DoT for ~500 damage/tick, pierces Steel)
Valfodr Physical damage 60 telegraphed charge AoE; inflicts knockback'
Notes:
  • Rotation:
    • Geirrothr
    • Hall of Sorrow
    • Valfodr
      • Flames appear around the edges of the arena and do telegraphed pointblank AoEs at the same time. Make sure to get knocked into a safe spot or use knockback immunity. The flames explode a couple seconds after the knockback, so there is a bit of time to adjust. Flame explosions deal 70% max HP damage
    • Geirrothr
    • Hall of Sorrow
  • Bleed DoT does not stack (standing in overlapping puddles does the same damage as standing in just one)
    • With sustaining potions (or other job utility) you can position yourself on the wall midway between two candles and just sit in the puddles for the entire fight
  • The flame AoE telegraphs are buggy and sometimes don't display - stay away from the flames even if you don't see the telegraphs
