So I just got through to the final boss in the Palace of the dead. However, our party make up was not ideal with 3 healers and one DPS, so it took nearly an hour to get from 41 to 50. So we get to Edda with 5 minutes left but ended up wiping on a move that was called "Black Honeymoon" I believe, it caused party wide damage for 11k. In any case, is there anyone who has completed this fight who can give me a breakdown of her move set. I'm assuming I just missed something dumb since we were in such a rush to finish before time was up. Since the content is so new, I haven't had any luck finding boss guides online. Any help would be appreciated.

I read somewhere that this ability gains damage based on how many times people get hit by her other aoe's. I have not confirmed it, but I killed her and the ability was only doing about 1/3 of my health. Also nobody in my group knew about looking away for the move that shows the red eye (can't remember the name) and we got feared repeatedly... Dunno how we even won haha.

She uses a move called 'In health' - each person hit with that lights up a letter on the floor, much like the grooms in Tam tara hard.
We had 4 letters lit up and 'Black honeymoon' hit us all for about 6k, causing a wipe. Our Armour is at +15/16
One letter was about 1k and easily healed through.
She also has a fear move - 'Cold feet' which I believe you need to look away from.
My advice is stay close to her, not too close but close enough to react to the floor markers, since 'In health' has 2 versions, Massive AOE with a small safe spot around her, or a medium sized AOE that you need to run from. The fights a more extreme version of the chimera fight I feel.
Hope this helps! -

Sounds sensible, I'll keep it in mind when I go after her next. Seems like getting through the dungeon floors to get to her in time is the hardest part, hopefully a better party mix will alleviate that.

You can use it on the same floors, however if you end up having only one or two of these, use them on floor 48 or 49. Remove all traps of the floor, remove the plox, make the whole map visible since the higher floors have a very low chance of blue coffers anyways, and even if you find one 60% of the time they gonna blew up without advancing your gear/weapon.Quote:

Wiped on my first time. Never have trouble getting through the floors and we collect every treasure but we don't kill every mob. Anyway we could not figure out our party members explanation as the AoE themselves didn't kill us or behave consistently. The above really makes it all make sense!!!
