The Chrysalis - difficulty

[Yumi_umi]

Ok, SPOILER ALERT, there's one simple trick to beating this SUPER EASY. Every run I do, I share this with the party, and we beat it on the first try.

When the ascian creates a portal in the middle of the room, RUN AWAY. Just keep running towards the edge of the arena. The reason why is he puts a debuff on you that massively increases damage taken, and the duration gets multiplied when you enter the portal. By running away for a bit, the debuff will wear off! For even better success, use buffs right before the debuff wears off, such as vigilance, divine seal, raging strikes, etc. Those will also get multiplied when you enter, so instead of taking massive damage during the meteor section, you'll be super buffed!

Its cuz ppl don't read the little npc text that pops up.

Exactly. Doing Steps for the first time. Most of us were new. Atleast one guy in the group had done it before. At the start a few of announced we were new, but that was it no further communication. So we just went at it. After a couple fails and constantly telling people to man the cannons (heck I even tried to man them with full mob in tow) finally made it to the point of the snares and the Dragon killer. Again a couple fails. The one guy who did it before says "someone needs to get on the snares and the tower at that point". Some else finally pipes up "oh now you tell us". I said "no one read the text that popped up on the screen telling you to do that?" No response. Cleared it with 30 seconds left. Ain't got time to read.
