- Summon Darkness: spawns 1 Giant Corse and 1 Bicephalic Corse
- phase 2: uses Abyss and Shackle until HP reaches 65%
- Summon Darkness: spawns 1 Bicephalic Corse and 1 Iron Corse

- phase 4: rotation of Doom > Abyss > Word of Pain > Shackle > Abyss > Word of Pain
- Lust can be used to AoE the adds down quickly (3 hits) while also applying vulnerability stacks to the boss
- Adds remain on the battlefield when killed, and will be resurrected after a while if not cleared with resolution
- Resolution can be used to kill adds in one shot. It can also be used on the corpses to remove them from the battle, preventing them from resurrecting
- You'll want to use at least one resolution to clear most, if not all, of the adds. They are likely to overwhelm you otherwise
