QARN HM Final Boss - Red Beam Mechanic

[ThirdChild_ZKI]

Stun it. Stun the sword beam too.

And dodge, dodge, dodge.

It's a pretty simple mechanic that happens towards the end of the fight. He targets one specific player as the guy he wants to get mummified, and that player better be ready to dodge. The aoe line is invisible, however it can be dodged via LOS method. Even then, if a tank or healer becomes mummified, you should still be able to beat him. Come on guys, it's a challenge worth keeping in the game. Hardly a broken mechanic at all. If you wanna talk about broken mechanics, go back to them old days of dealing with the demon wall.

Demon wall doesn't kill people, bees kill people.

RIP bees =(

Lol the Bees were the only challenge in the whole fight and now it's boring and easy. I wouldn't call the Qarn HM mechanic broken either it's just an oddball thing that i've not been able to figure out why it happens and if there is a way to avoid it.

Ran Qarn for the third time with my friend, and for the first time we came across this mechanic. It targeted her, BLM, and we were both surprised and unsure what to do about it.
I'm mostly just curious what triggers or prevents it, as I wasn't aware of its existence up until the third run at all.

She likes being a mummy though, finds it hilarious, so it's all good.

After running it a bit more, I think I figured out what may be happening.

When someone becomes a mummy, the boss's AI changes temporarily and he will walk around to attack people randomly (I'm assuming this is so it's not a guaranteed wipe if the tank or healer get mummified). I think the one time he stopped doing the red beam on me someone might have become a mummy which interrupted his current actions so he would go off to attack people randomly. It also might be why some people never see it, it might be some mechanic that happens after no one has been mummified for an extended period of time, and if people are getting mummified on occasion (my FC is pretty lazy with dodging mummies since it's pretty funny) you don't see the red beam happen at all since his script keeps getting interrupted.

Wonder what he does if everyone becomes a mummy. Does he just go do a puzzle and have some tea?

Yep, that is exactly what happens. I have seen it and what occurs is those coffins rise up again, three coffins in total of which two have mummies inside and the third a table (teapot and mug as well as a newspaper on table) plus a chair. The two mummies pick up the table when coffins open and chair then bring it to boss who then sits down, drinks his tea and reads the newspaper.

No one has even been talking about the straight-beam laser. They mean the red tether that the boss attaches to someone.
